Yup! What used to be called 100 year storms are now a regular occurrence.

There is a reason they call it tornado alley, even though there has been a spike in more tornadoes, tornado deaths have decreased over the years even with the higher populations that inhabit those areas.

6/1/13

A dramatic video of a tornado near Oklahoma City on Friday shows a group of storm chasers racing to escape the twister.

In the video, Oklahoma University meteorology student Brandon Sullivan and fellow storm chaser Brett Wright speed down a rural road dangerously close to one of the 17 tornadoes reported in the Midwest on Friday.

Their car is pummeled by debris, smashing the windshield at one point. "The team is very fortunate to live to chase another day," Sullivan wrote on his YouTube page.

Nine people died in the Oklahoma City area on Friday, including two children, according to the medical examiner's office. The storm also caused flooding and tipped over trucks on the highway.

The 2 biggest environmental criminals of all time,

Henry Ford and Albert Einstein.

Ford created the industry that smogged the world.

Never charged a dime for the environmental damage.

Einstien's theory created nuclear power, weapons and weapons testing.

Nuclear energy released from nuclear energy production is five times that of weapons testing.

Does anyone even know what a teraton of energy is?

It's a thousand gigatons, which we all know is 1000 megatons.

A teraton is 1,000,000,000 kilotons.(one billion)

20 kilotons was Hiroshima.

If all the energy released since 1940 was released all at once,
all of North America, and all of Europe and Asia would be on fire.

Just from weapons testing alone, the release of energy has been the
equivalent of one Hiroshima every 5 square miles over all of North
America.

In France, where nuclear power is aggressively widespread, in the
summer the nuclear power plants are forced to shut down because
the rivers are too hot from nuclear cooling towers, and the wildlife
can't survive.

That's where your ice caps went.

Increased energy in the atmosphere has to go somewhere.

Looks like it's currently Oklahoma.

Actually, the SCIENCE can NOT draw a connection between "climate change" and the number of tornadoes, and technically, the tornado season had actually been quieter than average from April 1 through the May 20 outbreak.

The panhandle of Texas, all of Oklahoma and all of Kansas see more tornadoes than any other part of the U.S. because of their location ---- just close enough to the Gulf of Mexico to get the warm, moist air flows,  just far enough east of the Rockies to get the cooler air masses that come over the mountains -- and the warm, moist air and the cooler air masses converge right over that particular area.  Then the flatness of that part of the country kicks in to allow the storms that are "fired up" to have room to develop unimpeded by the geography.
