LINCOLN- The National Weather Service has confirmed that more than two dozen tornadoes touched down in Nebraska during storms that raked across the state last week, continuing what has been one of the most active tornado season on record in the state. Thankfully, most of the tornadoes that hit across the state last Thursday and Friday were small and did very little damage.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which has tornado records dating back to 1950, indicated that only once in 2004 have there been more tornadoes recorded in the state before June. According to the University, the number of tornadoes recorded this year is "notably high" compared to historical averages.

According to data from Accuweather, Nebraska has had the third-highest total of tornadoes reported so far this spring, trailing only Iowa and Texas. On average, the state usually sees around 41 tornadoes per year, according to UNL. Last year, there were 60 confirmed tornadoes.
