Tornadoes are becoming more frequent in populated parts of the United States and are often occurring as damaging clusters — a development seen in recent deadly outbreaks from Alabama to Michigan.
The number, damage and deadliness of individual tornadoes has held roughly steady over the past 50 years, federal experts with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration told The Hill.
But broad shifts in the patterns of how tornadoes occur will pose serious challenges to policymakers and emergency managers across the South and Midwest — even as risks remain in the traditional heart of Tornado Alley.

Expanding or more likely there are new homes and businesses expanding into rural areas so people now notice what has always been going on?
I’m sure the media is torn between saying it’s because of climate change or just blaming it on Trump...
Come on man! You don’t think paying more for energy will stop the tornadoes?
This is my point. 50 years ago, there wasn’t damage to the empty fields that now have houses.
It’s because of the interweb and all those storm-chasers. And cell phones.
Obviously it’s a case of
Global swirling...
Climate change and racism obviously.
...also, transphobia.
“Tornado Alley.”
Sounds very scientific.
Pretty easy, actually.
We’re seeing heavier cooling waves in times when they usually don’t occur. Once March is half finished, the cold snaps are usually done, but we’re getting freeze warnings here in the deep South in mid-April. This is occurring globally as well. Australia had a very cool summer. March in the continental US was 3 degrees F lower than normal.
There’s just a lot more heat/cold fluctuation.
“scientists don’t know why”
I blame the windmills.
“”how tornadoes occur will pose serious challenges to policymakers””
Of course, why didn’t we think of that? Policymakers have solved so many problems for us!!!
I bet it’s the colder air that’s causing the problem.
LOL!!!!
>There’s just a lot more heat/cold fluctuation.
BTW, we saw this in the mid-70s as well when we transitioned from a very cold period to the warmed times of the 1980s until now. It’s just the way the wind operates when stable cold areas in the north and warmer areas in the south are disrupted by temperature changes.
Federal experts of NOAA…….didn’t know the Fed’s had any experts……
