Tornadoes are becoming more frequent in populated parts of the United States and are often occurring as damaging clusters — a development seen in recent deadly outbreaks from Alabama to Michigan.
The number, damage and deadliness of individual tornadoes has held roughly steady over the past 50 years, federal experts with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration told The Hill.
But broad shifts in the patterns of how tornadoes occur will pose serious challenges to policymakers and emergency managers across the South and Midwest — even as risks remain in the traditional heart of Tornado Alley.

As compared to the Super Outbreak on April 3-4, 1974?
Or Palm Sunday ‘65?
Lets talk about ‘whirled peas’. 😁👍

3 points:
1) Modern technology now detects ALL tornadoes, whereas formerly a pair of eyeballs had to actually see it for it to count.
2) The formerly open field where the tornadoes used to just blow a few trees down now has sprawling neighborhoods of cheaply built homes.
3) If you want to continue to receive federal funds, your agency MUST conclude that global warming is causing more deadly tornadoes.
Plus Doppler radar allows then to actually see a tornado as it is forming.
And the whole world knows about it as it’s happening.
Or the Tri-state of 1925. If it didn’t happen in a millennials life time it never happened. The progressive count on this total disinterest in history to push their agendas. I actually have Xer’s and Millennials in my family who believe blacks have never had it as bad as they do today.
One day in May in North Dakota, the temp the was below zero
Exactly. Long ago I attended a seminar on severe weather, where they noted that the number of reported tornadoes had gone up over the previous hundred years. The speaker stated that that wasn’t because there were more tornadoes, but because more of them were being reported... a hundred years ago, if you saw an F1 or F2 tornado off in a distant field, but it didn’t affect you directly, you shrugged it off. Like a lightning strike off in the distance...big deal. Now, with mass communication and mass media, every severe weather event gets reported even if it was inconsequential.
Tornado alley expanding!
Obviously because of climate change from fossil fuel use and cow farts.
Need bigger government!
Need to surrender more freedoms!
Need to raise taxes!
All for your own good, you stupid rube….
Never believe anything from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Nothing but BS comes from them.
THIS.
In the 1600s, all the tornadoes were in the New England area - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_tornadoes_and_tornado_outbreaks
because that’s where the people were to experience/report/record said tornadoes.
The tornadoes were always there. The population has grown and buildings are filling up what was once the open land the tornadoes passed through harmlessly. I think structure building has broadened “tornado alley.”
Well said. I think so, too.
Look for a similar worrisome report this summer/fall when hurricane season is in full swing.
“Record amounts of homes affected and dollars worth of damage!!!!”
When the real reason is the amount of development in coastal areas and the entire southern USA. So, yeah, more structures, more people equals more damage. Duh!
Don’t know why? What difference does that make, scientists? Just label it climate change due to CO2 and reap the rewards!
I knew it!!
MAGA Republicans again!!
Only Al Gore and Greta can save the world from Global Warming!!
Aaaaaiiiieeeee!!!!!!!
Tornado Alley is “expanding” because people are resisting the planned deindustrialization, therefore the fear-mongering narrative demands it.
Oh yes, because before Global Warming, everybody knows that tornadoes only happened in Oklahoma.
