President Joe Biden stumbled through parts of his Tuesday briefing on Hurricane Ida, leaving the definition of a tornado unclear.
Biden visited New York and New Jersey to observe the damage caused in recent days by Hurricane Ida. He discussed the impact of the storm, as well as other devastating weather incidents around the nation and how they relate to climate change.
Biden began to describe damage from tornadoes to communities in the middle of the country.
"The members of Congress know, from their colleagues in Congress that, uh, you know, the, looks like a tornado, they don't call them that anymore, that hit the crops and wetlands in the middle of the country, in Iowa and Nevada. It's just across the board."
"One of the things that today I'm going to ask you about ... is about how we're going to build back, and we're going to build back realizing what the status of the climate is now, what the trajectory of it is going to be, and we can no longer, we all know, we can't just build back to what it was before."

An Airplane reference is always a good call.
He may of been thinking of Dust Storms, which a lot of weathercasters have chosen to replace with the term Haboob. Honestly, only JoeJoe knows what is rattling inside his skull. His brain is like a BB in a boxcar.
Professional courtesy, old demented perverts to a fellow demented pervert.
Localized Intense Vortex Activity, perhaps.
Condolences
When the VP becomes the P they'll change it to Whortex to honor her...
Sad he’s gone, glad you were able to beat the medical professionals into giving him what he needed.
I had a conversation with a lady that got lost driving home from the store nearly two years ago now. Found her on the other side of Texas then.
She sounds just about like plugs does now, maybe better though. Like a conversation with a toddler just a bigger vocabulary and more disconnected experiences.
they can no longer communicate in plain English

I’m very wary of people, in any field, who spout buzzwords and other forms of cant and pomposity. They know too little and say too much. Or they’re hiding behind the wall of words for some reason.
The correct term is now "Global Climate Change Wind Event."
“Cyclone” always worked.
Joe’s definitely not in Kansas anymore.
Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, ‘cause Kansas is going bye-bye!
I like it. Somewhere the words "100 year" have to get in there for the handwringing effect.
(də-rā′chō)
n. pl. de·re·chos
A windstorm that is accompanied by a quickly moving, usually bow-shaped band of showers or thunderstorms.
[Spanish derecho, straight (from Old Spanish, from Latin dīrēctus, past participle of dīrigere, to lay straight; see reg- in Indo-European roots), applied in English to windstorms on the model of English tornado taken as if derived directly from Spanish tornado, turned.]

My brother lived in Kansas and they were cyclones there.
I lived in Kansas for my first three years of school. I remember tornado drills. I think they also doubled as nuclear attack drills. I probably heard “tornado,” “cyclone,” and “twister” used interchangeably.
Not enough words. How about “Global Climate Change Rotational Updraft Swirly Event.”
