Every tornado watch issued by the National Weather Service for a particular region has a number. Listen to a weather radio or check the NWS page when one is issued.
In southwest Missouri there are countless tornado watches, warnings, severe thunderstorm watches and warnings each year. Most people probably don't even notice or hear them. I worked in broadcasting for many years and they are numbered for a specific area.
Newton County had a tornado warning on Wednesday night; so did McDonald County.
You may only remember "a few" watches and warnings this year but there have been many more.
