Global warming. 🤪

If we had a tornado like this today, can you imagine the outrage of the climate cultists?

I recall that this very tornado has an audio recording—the first of a tornado.

Some wonderful hobbiest had the equipment and caught it. I have heard that recording, but it was years ago.

A friend is the local Meteorologist in Charge for the National Weather Service forecast office. He was born & raised in one of those towns in southern IL that was hit by this tornado. He has done some historical research on the track and the damage levels, using modern techniques. He was back in his hometown this past weekend for the centennial recognition of the storm & to present his research findings for interested/affected communities. He made an abbreviated presentation of his work for our local storm spotters group a couple of years ago & it was fascinating, if you’re into understanding the powerful forces behind our weather.

I was not aware that gas guzzling SUVs, the only known cause of such disasters, were so common 100 years ago.

I thought the Super Outbreak on April 3-4, 1974 was the worst

138 confirmed tornadoes over 13 states

Lost my grandmother in that one
