I said we probably won't see it again
in our lifetimes. Weather is naturally cyclical. Certainly there will be similar tornado outbreaks in the future. May 3rd definitely wasn't the worst ever, and there will be stronger outbreaks to come. But these are mostly generational events. The last event similar to May 3rd (in strength of tornadoes and deaths caused) was proabably the super outbreak in 1974. There have been other outbreaks that caused more tornadoes and caused more damage than May 3rd since 1974 (the November 1992 outbreak in the SE U.S. comes to mind).
