Tornado outbreak variability follows Taylor’s power law of fluctuation scaling and increases dramatically with severity

Tornadoes, which cause loss of life and damage to property worldwide, may occur in outbreaks of six or more in rapid succession. Here, the authors show that the annual mean number of tornadoes per US outbreak rose over the last 60 years, with the variance increasing four times faster than the mean.
