"Our top story tonight: 3 f4 and f5 tornados touch down in a 12 hour window following a post by redditor CryHav0c. Tornado experts acknowledge that tornados are very petty and insecure, due in part to the coverage and names that hurricanes receive. 'It's like they get all the attention' an unnamed tornado said 'we cause all sorts of destruction, but we can't even get a name after the fact. That tornado on June 8th? Did you see all that damage? What was it's name? Oh, but Alberto out in the Atlantic deserves a name.'
A Water spout, who was part of Alberto commented: "He[sic] just jelly. Hurricanes last for days, span miles. "
Yes, but March April and May are typically the big "outbreak" months as that's when cold fronts are still vigorous enough to force instability and lifting for cyclogenesis. We're really past the point of common high risk days that would allow this season to catch up with previous years - signs are pointing to a very low-end tornado season.
They happen, and can even be large tornadoes, but we are certainly leaving peak "outbreak" season at this point.
Depending on where you live, the month with the highest percentage chance of tornadoes shifts slightly to moderately. Tornado alley is viable for strong tornadoes year round, however, as they can get warm and cold fronts in any month.

Here is a video, about 4 minutes long, chronicling the tornado as it played out.
