Good news! Now why? I thought climate change promoters say more tornadoes are likely as the Earth warms up due to too much human created CO2? As someone who survived the Alabama twisters of 27 April 2011, I vividly remember them saying so.

Slowest start to #tornado season on record through 4/17 http://twitpic.com/e1huhr based on inflation adjusted tornado trends.

FEWER tornado are a sign of man-made climate change, as are seasons where the number of tornado is about average. Get with the program buddy. You sound like some kind of denier.
Yes, very good news!
Even tornado counts have to be inflation adjusted? Is there anything the funny money policies of the Federal Reserve can't screw up? :-)
Seriously, this has been a pretty cool spring for the midwest following a @#($%*@($#* cold winter. It's not too surprising that there is a tornado deficit. If nothing else, the cold ground keeps the air from warming quite as much so there aren't as many storm building updrafts.
“The sight of Golden Gate Bridge towering above the fog will become increasing rare as climate change warms San Francisco bay, scientists have found.”
“The Bay Area just had its foggiest May in 50 years. And thanks to global warming, it’s about to get even foggier.”

One of them came thru a few hundred feet of my house that evening. It was so windy and stormy out, with lightning, thunder and rain, I didn’t hear it. I was FReeping about the tornadoes at the exact time. But I knew one was close. You know how? The overpowering smell of pine.
Sure enough, in the morning, went out and drove around. Down the road a little ways, HUNDREDS of downed loblolly and long leaf pine one of my neighbors had.
But the Earth has a “fever”.
SMH!
Thankfully, with the Internet we can find all their contradictions so quickly! No wonder the UN wants to control it.
It’s that fresh pine scent!
Amazing isn’t it. GW causes everything even when it doesn’t
More tornadoes, less tornadoes.
More snow, less snow.
More hurricanes, less hurricanes.
More Flight MH370 airplanes missing, less missing.
More trash in the Indian Ocean, less trash in the Indian Ocean.
All caused by global warming, er, I mean climate change.
Your experience with a close call at home is different from mine. Don’t know what the scale might have been at the time but it touched down again a few miles to the northeast and was an F3, killed several people, pulled firetrucks out of the station house.
You could hear it, creepy silence followed by a strange whistling and buzzing, then a rumbling roar. The only damage I got was a large, four-trunked oak came down and shook the house. The actual path was about a quarter mile away, structural damage, roofs torn off.
I was in the hall bath since it had no windows, with my two dogs. Power went out, then nothing. Sat there long enough to start feeling a little foolish about panicking, then my ears popped and the dogs started whining and trying to climb into my lap. Exhaust fan started whirring, you could feel the air pulling out of the room. Then the boom and the house shook from the tree hitting the ground, then the roar after that.
I think the funnel passed directly overhead before touching down afterwards, myself. Explains a lot.
LOL. That was so, so YESTERDAY. Times change, particularly Global Warming Times (oops, scratch that) - I mean Climate Change Times. More See Oh Two in the old atmosphere now appears to interfere with the natural development of tornadoes. This is clearly yet another sign that we are heading for a disaster in the next 10 years if we don't give a lot of money to Al Gore and his friends who are (by consensus) the only ones who can save us.
Now the MSM/Climate Change Cultists are going to complain about too few storms.
More tornadoes than normal, it’s global warming, oops, climate change. Fewer tornadoes than normal, it’s climate change. Same with hurricanes, rain, you name it. Weather itself is climate change no matter what happens, unless it adheres everywhere and at all times to some average since records have been kept, flatlined or we should run about shrieking and pulling our hair. Only world socialism can save us.
But the Earth has a “fever”.

It needs more cowbell.
Wow! At the time the one next to us came through, I was right here on Free Republic on the Tornado Live Thread we had going. Everything at this point had been up North from mid Mississippi through Tuscaloosa-B’Ham-Huntsville. So it was about 8:30 or so. I think not too long after this the North Georgia/ Tennessee tornadoes began, or it was around the same time, so everyone affected were posting reports.
But beyond all the noise outside, I didn’t hear the “freight train”. Kind of disappoint ting because I thought that would be how I knew.
I guess that’s one on the ground, the freight train sound. The outside of my house was plastered with oak leaves afterwards, small branches too, to the point that it was morning before I even realized the noise was from the oak coming down. The buzzing could have been the funnel hitting the leaves maybe? Always wondered about that, can’t say I’ve heard anyone else describe that sort of sound. Had a sort of pitiful thing that I found during cleanup, must’ve been a flock of starlings in that oak, there were several dead ones stuck in the backyard chain link fence. Don’t know if they could have flown into it in a panic and die, or if the force of the wind did it.
