Quiet Kansas Tornado Season Defies Expected Fury
Kansas sees 2016 tornado activity well below national norms with 67 twisters by June 29, far under the 80-year average of 83. A near-miss near Dodge City, with EF 4 winds, underscores how close the state came to harsher outcomes. Researchers cite two near-miss tracks that could have produced fatalities, highlighting wind data gains from the TWIRL project and implications for building codes and shelter plans.
