Springtime isn\u2019t all warmer days, pretty flowers, and Peeps. It\u2019s also the season for allergies, floods, and tornadoes. \u00a0As the South and Midwest U.S. have coped with a series of deadly tornado outbreaks in the last few weeks, it\u2019s natural to reflect on other serious outbreaks from the past.<\/p>\n

Recently, I\u2019ve seen a few maps of the infamous 1974 Super Outbreak<\/a>. After 49 years, it is still one of the most active and deadliest in history. Many of these outbreaks can be mapped using the Tornadoes<\/a> and Tornado Tracks<\/a> layers in Living Atlas, coming from official data from NOAA\u2019s Storm Prediction Center.<\/p>\n
