This week (Feb.19-24) is severe weather preparedness week in Alabama. In 2005 there were 77 confirmed tornadoes in Alabama, which set a new record for one year. The active hurricane season was responsible, as 49 of the 77 twisters were spawned by tropical systems. The majority of the state's tornadoes were in Central Alabama. Only two were confirmed in the Huntsville National Weather Service County Warning Area. Hurricane Rita (9/25/05) spawned 23 tornadoes in Alabama, Katrina (8/28-29/05) spawned 10, and Cindy (7/6/05) spawned 16.
