Tennessee has the most frequent overnight tornadoes in the country

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Middle Tennessee has always had intense severe weather, but in the last few years, more tornadoes are coming year-round and overnight. 

According to Krissy Hurley, the Meteorologist in charge at the Nashville National Weather Service, Tennessee leads the country in nighttime tornadoes.

Shit, nighttime tornadoes are all we have in Tennessee, at least in my area. 
I've been here almost 8 years and have been through I don't know how many tornado warnings/watches, and I don't recall a single one in the daytime. Sure, we'll get advance notice during the day that conditions will be right for a tornado later in the evening, but we never get the actual warning or watch until after nightfall, and it's usually 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning.
