February 2016 was a record month for tornado activity in Alabama

Between 1991 and 2010, Alabama averaged three tornadoes in February per year.

In February 2016, the National Weather Service has documented 21 tornado touchdowns across the Yellowhammer State.

Tornado touchdowns have been most numerous across central and far southern Alabama.

The National Weather Service in Birmingham says February 2016 had the most tornado touchdowns of any February since 2008, when 26 tornadoes occurred. February 2008 is a notorious tornado month following the Super Tuesday outbreak; two violent EF-4s touched down in Alabama in the predawn hours of February 6, 2008.

The tornadoes so far in 2016 have been relatively weak; seven EF-0s, 11 EF-2s and 2 EF-3s have occurred.
