Pennsylvania has seen more tornadoes than usual in 2019, with the state already hitting the yearly average.
One Pennsylvania man thinks he may know the cause of the increase: traffic circles.
According to our news partners at the Trib, WNEP-TV in Scranton has a segment called "TalkBack," which allows viewers to call and leave their opinions, and then the station airs them.
“We didn’t have tornadoes here until we started putting in the traffic circles. Cause, on account of — you want to know why? When people go round and round in circles, it causes disturbance in the atmosphere, and causes tornadoes," one man said about the recent uptick in tornadoes.

According to gun-control nuts, correlation is causation. So, he may just be onto something. Or, he may just be nutso as well. And it is also possible that he was pulling someone’s chain.
After visiting Italy years ago and watching their cars navigate around traffic circles I’m surprised that it took that long to come up with that conclusion.
I suspect that this "Pennsylvania Man" is actually a transplant from Florida!
“Yes - Roundabout”
Proof the climate is Fragile.
Biden is from Scranton. ‘Nuff said.
My mental health break of the day!
Another AOC spokesman?
Easily taken care of - you just put up signs that direct traffic clockwise around the circle on even-numbered days, and counter-clockwise on odd-numbered days (except in Australia, where you’d have to do it the other way around to account for the coriolis force).
(and before someone jumps all over me, no I’m not serious).

Is this guy running for the Democrat nomination? The level of intellect is there.
New Hampshire ought to be tornado alley.
As kids we’d walk the perimeter of the swimming pool over and over to cause a whirlpool effect. I can’t tell you how many flying birds were caught in our childish vortex.
This makes about as much sense as most other “theories” put forth in regards to “anthropogenic global climate change”. Just this one factor alone may contribute more than all the carbon dioxide humanity is supposed to be dumping in the atmosphere.
Which isn’t much at all, and has no significant impact whatsoever.
Another Democrat? Fits well with the idiot in Guam that thinks more people there will cause the island to tip over. Guess doesn’t matter since we have only about 11.5 years left anyway.
Dumbledore returns to Wogfarts to try to find out which nasty little student wizard put the hex on the Pennsylvania traffic circles.
This makes sense. I’ve noticed the same effect down
at Coriolis Corner.
What you did . . . I see it!
” traffic circles causing increase in tornadoes”
Circular logic?
Oh, for the good ol’ days, when Art Bell soaked up such “theorists”.
OTOH, I once saw a documentary on tornadoes, and iirc, combined, the UK and France get around 30, maybe 60, per year.
“WNEP-TV has been played with and they don’t even know it.”
Yep...trolled big time! It cracks me up when this stuff makes it to air. There are so many hands and eyes it must pass through first. “Captain, Sum Ting Wong...”
