A two-week onslaught of volatile weather has wrought death and destruction from the Southern Plains to the Northeast, bombarding the country's interior with disaster after disaster all because of a stalled weather pattern.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center has received more than 500 reports of tornadoes in the last 30 days. The 442 twisters reported in May -- which is historically tornado season's busiest month -- is still nearly double the 3-year average of 226 cyclones.
"The threat is ongoing in the same areas we have seen over the past couple of days," Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said Wednesday on "FOX & friends."

So ... not Global Warming, eh?
Danged global cooling! Somebody douse the winter already!
I blame Gore-bull Warming.
The are playing with words probably unintentionally.
Storms can be cyclonic without producing tornadoes. A cyclonic storm (technically a cyclone) is a storm that rotates. Few of these produce tornadoes.
All that being said, it is one of the coolest periods I can recall in 26 years or so in southern kalifornia and western Arizona. Heater on this morning?? Come on!!
Power is out in NW Arkansas, on generator, wife on oxygen,her machine and air fan are now hooked to the generator.
First time I ever had to start it, other than testing, due to a power failure.
Lit all the oil lamps in the house. Cat scared puppy, OK and happy.
On battery powered laptop. More storms coming out way.
Good work. Hope you have several days’ of generator fuel or can get to a gas station easily.
During hurricane Irma our power was out for 5 days. Luckily as a boater I had plenty of 5 and 6-gal portable fuel tanks and there are two gas stations a mile away which never lost power.
If glaciers were to instantly cover half of North America we’d be told it’s Global Warming at work.
Trump’s fault!
It’s plenty warm in the SE.
I was actually going to reply that what was different this year: CO is still getting snow. We are COLD still.
I said a prayer for you, because I know how scary it is to deal with unstoppable weather and have a loved one on oxygen.
My dad needed it 24/7 and I signed him up with the electric company who were required to work on returning power to his home first (along with hospitals etc). And if needed, the town was required to take him and his equipment to a shelter.
Don’t know if this is available in your state, but it made us ‘kids’ feel a whole lot better. We could plan for a hurricane, a blizzard, but you can’t plan for tornados; they just happen.
God Bless- SZQ
I have a heater on beside me and am wrapped up in a blanket.
The cause is global warming oh wait global cooling.....oh wait climate change....or is it global emergency. I am so confused........
Colorado can have snow falling on the 4th of July in the mountains. Blame an extended El Niño for the wacky weather
Now that explains why we here in S.E. Michigan have been getting so much rain over the past two weeks with more predicted in the coming days.......
Typically we can track storms moving from west to east but all this rain has been coming up in a north easterly direction from the Gulf.......
The technical term is “bad weather” or simply “weather.”
Weather is a complex system that is affected primarily by (1) the sun, (2) Earth’s orbit around the sun, (3) Earth’s rotation, (4) gravity from the moon, (5) the moon’s orbit around the Earth, (6) cosmic radiation, and (7) the effects of all of the above on Earth’s atmosphere. SUV’s and cow farts may have some effect on weather, but they are not in the top 1000.
That is not what I am referring to.
I am not in the mtns and am getting late season snow; we are struggling to get out of the 50s during the day, and were still freezing at night last week, barely getting out of freezing range this week.
This longer cold spell is related to the outbreak of the tornadoes.
It’s morphed into “climate crisis” because those other words weren’t scary enough.
Global cooling is coming. They sunspots say so. And oh, boy, is it going to be a doozie.
