...Fall Marks an Increase in Severe Weather...

The months of October and November, particularly from about
mid-October through mid-November, bring an increase in severe
thunderstorm activity, including tornadoes, large hail and damaging
thunderstorm winds across southeast Missouri, southern Illinois,
southwest Indiana and western Kentucky. Recent years provide several
examples of this annual increase in severe thunderstorms. From
October 14 to October 26, 2004 a total of 11 tornadoes occurred
across southern Illinois, southeast Missouri and western Kentucky. On
October 18, 2007, 16 tornadoes ravaged our region, causing 20
injuries and 20 million dollars damage. A total of 27 tornadoes
occurred across our region in November 2005, including the November
6, 2005 Evansville, IN area tornado which caused 25 fatalities and
the November 15, 2005 Madisonville area violent EF4 tornado.

So why the increase in tornadoes and other severe thunderstorm
activity in the fall Wind fields, on average, become progressively
stronger in the atmosphere as we transition through the fall season.
These wind fields are often enhanced by storm systems approching from
the plain states. This coupled with sometimes favorable temperature
and moisture profiles, particularly ahead of low pressure systems and
their attendant frontal systems, can provide the favorable wind
dynamics and atmospheric instability for severe thunderstorms,
including tornadoes.

Preparation and response are the keys to ensure you and your loved
ones stay safe this fall. First ensure you have a plan that includes
a safe sheltering location when severe weather threatens. Second,
ensure you have a means to receive weather warnings, particularly for
overnight storms which are more than twice as likely to kill. A
weather radio is a perfect solution for being alerted of dangerous
weather. Third, go to your pre-determined safe location promtly when
a warning is issued for your area or severe weather is observed.
