The Left’s credo: Never, ever, ever let a good crisis go to waste.FEMA chief says powerful storms ‘new normal’ in era of climate change.As usual of course the existing facts don’t support her stupid claim.Mind you, the US didn’t even have a nationwide Doppler Radar system during the 1954-74 tornado cycle. It wasn’t installed until the mid-90s and has been significantly updated ever since so we are now reporting previously undetectable tornadic events. So who knows how many tornadoes there actually were between 1954-74. It wouldn’t have been less but it could have been more – much more, maybe double...
