Tornado outbreak sequence
A tornado outbreak sequence (or extended tornado outbreak) is a period of continuous or near continuous high tornado activity consisting of a series of tornado outbreaks over multiple days where there are very little or no days with a lack of tornadoes.[1]
Major tornado outbreak sequences occurred in May 1917, 1930, 1949, and 2003[2][3]. Another exceptional outbreak sequence apparently occurred during mid to late May 1896[4]. Tornado outbreak sequences tend to dominate the tornado statistics for a year and often cause a spike in tornado numbers for the entire year as a whole.
