In April and May of 1976 an anomalous situation occurred in that no tornadoes were reported for Indiana. This study attempts to determine possible relationships that may have caused the anomalous situation. To better understand the factors surrounding this situation, this study deals with a physical survey of Indiana and a review of literature involving conditions for tornado development. The study tests for relationships between tornadoes, storm tracks, and storm track location relevant to Indiana for the months of March, April, and May, 1955 to 1976, that might suggest reasons for the anomalous situation occurring. Statistical analyses involving correlation tests and analysis of variance, are used to test for possible relationships.
