In a new study, researchers at Purdue University have harnessed the power of advanced computer modeling to unravel the complex reasons why the United States has more tornado activity than any other region in the world.
The study, spearheaded by Dr. Dan Chavas, an associate professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, delves into the geographical and climatic factors that make America the country with the strongest, most violent, and numerous tornadoes worldwide...
The United States averages over 1,200 tornadoes every year, a staggering figure that surpasses the total annual twisters of all European countries combined. The country that ranks second, Canada, only averages 100 tornadoes per year.
This prevalence of tornadoes in America has long been assumed to be due to its unique geography, which provides ideal conditions for tornadoes to form...
For decades, meteorologists have hypothesized that the Gulf of Mexico plays a crucial role in forming tornadoes in the United States. The warm, moist air from the Gulf is thought to collide with cooler, drier air crossing over the Rocky Mountains in the west Rockies to create the perfect conditions for severe weather.
Dr. Chavas' team tested this theory using computer models to simulate what would happen if the Gulf of Mexico were replaced with land.
Surprisingly, they found that while the absence of the Gulf shifted the location of severe storms eastward, from the central Great Plains into Illinois, it did not significantly reduce their frequency or intensity.

We’re #1!
Considering that the US and "all European countries combined" are about the same size that would not be surprising.
GlowBall Worming?
That's because computer models are not based on reality. These 'findings' are yet another nail in the coffin of Climate Change© ideology. It clearly establishes computer modeling of long-term climate is flawed.
This is an easy one. It’s because we’ve got what tornadoes crave: BRAWNDO.
Re-enter it as The Gulf of America and see if that gives a different outcome.
Models, models, models.
The old Gulf of Mexico was at fault. Maybe the tornados will simmer down with the name change to Gulf of America.
Simple. We have more trailer parks than any other country.
Electrolytes. DUH!!
toilet water? ugh
That’s my thinking.

CHEMTRAILS.
Screw tornadoes. I need a product offered by someone somewhere.
Teevee just told me, mites might be having a party on my eyelids.
This is series, what should I do?
A comedian once said every scene of tornado damage to a town says “this trailer park was trashed right away.”
He said we should build false front artificial trailer parks at the edge of every town and city to attract the tornados to them and wear out their energy.
Political hot air forming trans dimensional vortexes.
It’s not rocket science. We have more trailer parks.
