The United States on Wednesday registered the highest number of hurricane-force gusts on record in a single day, the National Weather Service (NWS) said, days after one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history. More than 55 gusts of above 75 mph were recorded across a number of mostly Midwestern states...

That will be conveniently ignored by the climate alarmists.
Weather organizations are starting to look like baseball statisticians. Any superlative they can find, they’re going to figure out how to turn into a weather event.
Only global warmer taxes can prevent this.
As long as they can keep dreaming up new things to measure, they can keep publishing reports that climate change has caused something which is now the highest ever measured.
More gummit can fix this.
I’ve been yelling at the wind lately.
Commies have to be commies.
They must have noticed that concern for climate change isn’t very big in the polls & have to take the climate change hysteria to a new level of stupidity.
“Hurricane”
It wasn’t me! My SUV was parked yesterday

“That will be conveniently ignored by the climate alarmists.”
Yup. Those not even remotely associated with actual data and stats wil once again reveal that they should not even come close to a third grade math book. But, as we know, the chicken littles will once again parade before us.
All I wanna know is how am I suppose to grow,and smoke, my marijuana? /s
That's a key point about weather records. It's actually even worse than just a single record that is set.
Let's say, for example to make the numbers easy, that there are a thousand weather stations, and that they have been running for a century. There are six recorded temperatures for each station every day: the highest and the lowest high, the highest and the lowest average, and the highest and the lowest low, every day. The very first day, there would be 6000 records set. The very first year, there would be 2,190,000 records set. The second year 1 of every 2 records would be broken since the number would likely to be either higher, or lower than the value recorded. The third year, 1 of three would be broken, etc.
Thus, on a statistical basis, a century later, 1 of every hundred records would be broken. That means that 21,900 records would be broken every year, or 60 records every day. Of course, these wouldn't happen all at once. During a warm spell, more record warms would be set, and during a cold spell more record colds would be set. On many days, no records would be broken, but when an "Extreme weather Event" happened, many new 'records' would be set.
This is all simple statistics. Noe, there are more weather stations than that, and many have been around less time than that, but the numbers are real, and roughly an estimate of the real situation.
lol@ counting “wind gusts”....oh geez...smh.
I only had gusts of 70MPH while my neighbor had gusts of up to 134 MPH. South Boulder Colorado had a gust of 147 MPH a few years ago, a state record.
