*Includes 2 tornadoes in 1997 & 2000; not counted in tornado average.
Spotter logs typically are local chases in which seeing a tornado was highly unlikely, or chases that were to document flooding, storm damage, hailstorms, lightning photography, or other non-tornatic weather-related events.
If a tornado was observed on a spotter chase, it will be counted as a regular chase.
Spotter logs are counted in overall mileage, however they are not counted in tornado statistics.
Yellow highlighted logs indicate chases where tornadoes were observed; Pink indicate major tornado days (5 or more observed).
