Over the last few weeks, tornados have hammered the USA. As the clash of cold air is slowly being replaced with warm spring air, there is a lot of energy and convective uplift in the atmosphere, and it seems like copious triggers are available to agitate the tornadic action we are seeing in the large frontal storms. Doppler radars are showing velocity couplets galore, and many people are experiencing the wrath of these storms. We have even had tornado twins, one tornado extended right up to the stratosphere, and one even spun the wrong way, putting it in the rare category (one to two percent of all tornados) that have clockwise (anti-cyclonic) rotation. The two tornadoes even seemed to dance in the Fujiwara jig, more common with large tropical cyclones (or hurricanes). Looking at a map of this years tornados thus far, it seems clear that we no longer have a sharply defined region that used to be called “tornado alley”. Instead, the geographic locations where we are seeing tornados is much more distributed, with many tornadoes occurring north and east of the traditional “tornado alley”, and many occurring in Florida. As I have mentioned for many years, this is exactly what we can expect from an atmosphere turbocharged by abrupt climate system mayhem. Please donate to PaulBeckwith.net to support my research and videos connecting the dots on abrupt climate system mayhem.

If you’ve haven’t seen it, PBS Terra published a video on the obsolescence of historical flood risk assessment methods. The extra water vapor payload fro higher temps has transformed the way assessments must be performed. Although the maps are restricted to the US, flood risk has changed globally. It’s an eye watering change, well worth discussing your self, I think.

Only in America do we accept weather predictions from a rodent but deny Climate Change evidence from scientists.

I always think it's a shame to read: Politics. Not all are equal. Even those who mean well are bound to society. If you take “necessary” steps, you will be voted out. Faster than you can see. And the smear campaigns are also enormous. The system is the problem.

Mother Nature's plow in action. And with the fuel we keep pouring into her systems I suspect we'll see a lot more of this sort of thing..

I grew up in Nebraska and always dreaded the Spring storm season. Dad would herd me and my siblings to the basement every time that damn weather siren went off… often late at night. No Doppler radar back then so we just listened to the radio and prayed.

The sentence I think is most important is at 23:00, which everyone of us should keep in mind AND immediately take action by organizing our communities to get resilient as much as possible: "Hypothetical tornado outbreak lasted 3 days 2 hours 18 minutes" ... "maybe this hypothetic event ... we will see this in a decade or five years ... when the climate goes more and more haywire ..."

Thanks friend, real smart update on this spring's destructive weather. All due to decade's of denial. We've both lived thru it. Keep up your good work and, 👍 Rock on 🙂.

Lower dtr by much moisture in the air of natural forests and rugged terrain compared to flat/urban areas - less risk of tornadoes. Reshape the terrain/forests with hills and more wetlands at strategic points. From internet: "In both regions, the probability of tornado occurrence significantly decreased in developed areas, forests, and wetlands when compared to the reference category (cultivated). "

Many thanks Paul for this report..My question to you is...do you think it's going to be much longer where they have to come up with Category 6 and 7 hurricanes and up the scale on Tornadoes as well?? Hurricanes are feeding off the increasing warmth of the ocean water and Tornadoes are feeding off the humidity and increasing high land temperatures we are having now..I think the scientists will have to up the scales on both.

This does not even rate being a tipping point. Tornado alley just got a little bigger and lasts a few weeks longer. As our climate crisis goes this just the new normal.

Furthermore: Cement production has an enormous share of CO2 emissions. The solution is too simple. Large complexes, no individual homes... shared electricity and heat supplies... would be a solution, but would restrict the individual. Of course, humans are sociable animals... but no one would like that if they had their freedom beforehand. I assume everyone in the region is aware of the risks. Similar to the people who live on more or less active volcanoes. You know it, you live with it.

I don't know about the rest of the subscribers here but for the next bed time story of doom I vote for a discussion on the effects of a full nuclear exchange between the two big you know whos on spent fuel rod containment ponds and whether those containers are targets and what the short and or long term effects would be as well as for the reactor itself should such a brilliant choice to serve up this sort of gift to the world be selected. Would global average temps resume where they left off after a few weeks months years? I suspect thst after the nuclear winter was over temps would be back to pre conflict day within say a few years or so as such a gargantuan ammount of heat is stored in our oceans and the aerosols would fall out basically completely with almost no post dooms day industrial activity increasing the forcing higher than it has been in over a century so we would catch up completely to pre dooms day temps very quickly. Would all the nuclear power plants go fruit along with the spent fuel rod storage ponds or would a small dedicated contingent stay behind and nurse them along only to prolong the inevitible for a period of time? Would CO2 levels continue to climb with extreamly low ammounts of fossil fuels being burned somehow? This is way more doomer sexy topic than wet bulbs and increased storm intensity right?

I can't help but shake my head at just how backwards these conspiracy theorists have things. Any geo-engineering that might be implemented, openly or otherwise, will undoubtedly be done in an effort to mitigate the risks associated with climate change. Of course there could be unintended consequences from such programs, as they'd likely further disrupt already erratic weather patterns. With the complexities of the natural climate systems, reliably attributing weather events to climate change is already incredibly complicated. I can only imagine, adding deliberate interventions to the mix would make it nearly impossible to unravel.
