I think there are a few factors making them seem more intense.
1) There are more people living in Tornado Alley. There may have been tons of EF5's out in the middle of no-where, but all they did was knock over a bunch of tres.
2) Media coverage has been much more pronounced lately. Tornadoes make headlines more than they used to, especially since there are many more, "extreme videos" and what not.
It may appear that tornadic weather is more intense, but that may not necessarily be the case.

In 2011 there were 6 EF5 tornado's; "only" been 2 thus far this year.
