“The climate crisis is real y’all. “Guess we’re at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country?”

Like garbage disposers I guess AOC has never seen a tornado either. Not even on YouTube because there is nothing and I mean nothing “casual” by any definition of that word about tornadoes. Perhaps she meant “causal” tornadoes, as in “there’s a causal relationship between climate change and an increase in tornadoes.” Although the PBS report she’s reading from while livestreaming her horrifying tornado warning experience for her Instagram followers seems to indicate the contrary:
“Tornadoes are challenging to link to climate change links due to their nature (geographically, limited, acute patterns, how they form, etc.,”
Of course that failed to stop either AOC or PBS from making the link anyway. Reading from the article she explained:
“Rather than lie squarely in the Great Plains, America’s tornadoes appear to be sliding into the Midwest and Southeast.”
I’ve lived in the upper Midwest my entire life and let me tell you, Spring/Summer tornado warnings have always been standard fare, along with the less frequent but far from unusual touchdowns. But I always forget that history doesn’t begin until it effects millennials so here’s a brief glimpse of how things were in the way-way back machine:
In 1954, a tornado with winds up to 300 miles per cut a wide path of destruction just outside Grand Rapids, MI causing 330 injuries and 17 fatalities.
1954!? That’s, like, a really, really long time ago! Did they have cameras then?
Then there were the Palm Sunday tornadoes of ‘65:
It happened with virtually no warning on April 11, 1965. Killer tornadoes smashed through the Midwest over a 12-hour span, killing 271. Michigan was one of the hardest-hit states with 53 deaths.
I repeat, not casual. Not if you were in the middle of it.
Now, many people have been making fun of AOC’s tornado tweeting. She was even chastised by a real meteorologist who tried to relate to her on her own terms:
“The Congresswoman @AOC does not know the difference between weather and climate,” Maue tweeted.
“Let’s try an easy analogy: Weather is what outfit you wear heading out the door. Climate is your closet wardrobe.” – NYPost
But honestly, my favorite part of Sandy’s Instagram Tweet-Storm was this:
“There’s people stuck outside, this is crazy.”
Not because of the verb/object disagreement, I’ve come to expect that, it’s the “We need to get them out” part. She doesn’t seem to understand you’re supposed to come IN from the rain, not vice versa. Which explains a lot.
“Different parts of the country deal with different climate issues. But ALL of these threats will be increasing in intensity as climate crisis grows and we fail to act appropriately. #GreenNewDeal.”
Bless her heart, you can’t expect a barkeep from the Bronx with just an undergraduate degree in Economics and International Relations from a top-rated university to understand complicated things like garbage disposals and weather. That’s all post-doctoral work.
It’s not till then that they tell you how to make computer models that will firmly establish a link between a line of thunderstorms and global warming. It’s complicated.
It’s, like, the difference between “we’ve only got 12 years!” and “we’ve only got 12 seconds.”

“It’s a shame that this elementary school-brained moron gets this kind of attention whenever she “thinks.””
The real shame is that we have elected her and any number ( I would say most) to Congress who don’t have the manual dexterity or the intellect to take a bend dime out of a Coke Machine! Piglosi, Upchucky, Tlaib, Omar, AOC, the list is endless. Shame on the “American” People. They are, for the most part, selfish idiots!
Way a house fall upon her!
“She is a congresswoman and has no idea what she is doing.”
Clearly not a limited occurrence in public office.
AOC, Warren Wilhelm, Nadler, Anthony Weiner, Cuomo just off the top of my head. Lots of great leaders coming out of New York.
I seem to recall that every state in the union except Hawaii and Alaska have reported tornadoes.
AOC feels compelled to chime in on everything and she just has all the answers. She just isn’t likeable. To me, people like that are just a turn off.
There’s very little I can think of (yeah, I know, stupidity can be immeasurable) that will cause people out here in flyover country to say, “What the _ _ _ _?” than to have a f-ing New Yawker tell US about tornadoes.
Unbelievable.
October 3, 1979, Windsor Locks, Connecticut had a tornado. The next week a snowstorm. It is the weather, not climate change. Climate Change is when the Connecticut Valley is under Lake Hitchcock.
Her bocita estupida just helped cost NYC
thousands of jobs and billions in tax revenues
She should already be a lame duck for 2020
but I have seen little if any repercussions for
this ^ blunder
Why should God punish those who are innocent
and not Omar, AOC and the other
execrable freshman congresscvnts
?
AOC: the gift that keeps on giving. The leader of the Democrat party with more evidence of how stupid the party has become. Heck I can blame a bowel movement on climate change and her followers would believe it.
