🌪️ILLINOIS TORNADOES: The Land of Lincoln has surpassed the YEARLY average of 66 tornadoes by a lot. Based on my county, 91 tornadoes have been confirmed across the state through April 20th, with surveys ongoing (meaning that count could go up).

All data is preliminary, but there have been more than 400 tornadoes so far this year across the US, and Illinois has had more tornadoes than any other state so far in 2026.

Iowa has been less active, with 18 tornadoes, so far.

Important to note: Technology over the last decade has really improved, giving meteorologist and researchers more tools to detect tornadoes on radar, and via satellite.
