Tornado warnings for first 6 days of May 2007
The featured image is a plot of counties warned by tornado warmings for this May up until today. According to my accounting, there were 299 warmings issued during those 6 days with well over 150 reports of tornadoes. The largest of these tornadoes destroyed Greensburg, Kansas and was surveyed to have the highest strength rating possible (EF5). Unfortunately, Iowa saw a handful of tornadoes as well.

Voting:
Good = 17
Bad = 5
