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.

Cars driving in circles on roundabouts causing tornadoes is a corollary to the Butterfly Effect.

This one rates up there with the woman calling about PENDOT should put the signs telling deer where to cross the highway at better locations!

My climate model shows that if you roll your windows down when driving through a traffic circle, the pressures will equalize and all will be OK. Must do windows on both sides or it won’t work. Settled seance.

What? To a Democrat, this makes eminent sense. These are people who, it has been noted here, wonder how deer know where to cross highways.
