How many deaths will be associated with US tornadoes during the week of June 16-22, 2008?

Settled as No deaths due to tornadoes June 16-22

No reports that any tornadoes caused any deaths, although some did touchdown in Colorado.

Background:

Last week was another active week for storms throughout the Midwest, and most notably the storm that hit the Boy Scout camp and caused the deaths of four young men.

When we we see improvements in the weather? Are we nearing the end of tornado season?

Suspending Wednesday.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
