Thank you! The endless portrayal of weather as an emotional phenomenon is a pet peeve of mine too.
Weather is incapable of emotion. So is “Mother Nature”.

There is some research suggesting that these types of tornado outbreaks could become more common as climate change destabilizes the atmosphere “

Here we go again...… “some research suggesting “ aka, - total B.S. !

Drive out in the countryside. How many houses, developments, shopping centers and warehouses do you see where you would have seen nothing but plowed fields twenty years ago?

Back in 1999, a tornado crossing one of these fields would have uprooted crops and messed up a couple of fences, but that was not such a big deal. Now, that same tornado might destroy ten houses, blow the roof off a shopping center, or kill a half dozen people. It might do $10,000,000 in damage. It is simply a matter of those things being there, when they were not there before.

The economy is becoming more decentralized, every day. There is development in places where there was never development before. The tornadoes haven’t changed... We have.

Similar to the fact that when a hurricane hits the coast anywhere from New England down to Florida and across to Texas. There are now houses, hotels, condos on every buildable stop on the Atlantic seaboard/Gulf of Mexico. Plus each one of those buildings is worth seven figures or more. This results in a lot more damage.

Why was there 148 tornadoes in 24 hours in 13 states back on April 3-4, 1974?

When we were supposedly going into another Ice Age

Destabilizes the atmosphere ?
These people are not scientist. They are clowns. Wake up before your entire house is iced shut one winter.

Cold air meets warm air - the results are more devastating when the cold air is colder than usual....

Or, why were there so few in the previous 10 years? Answer for both: climate change!
