After another explosive start to tornado season, twisters are cropping up in unexpected places around the United States. In a 48-hour period earlier this month, 31 tornadoes were reported across the country. Scientists are baffled. Read more from @sciencefocus:
@ScienceDesk @sciencefocus Are they really baffled? Or is it climate change?
@ScienceDesk @sciencefocus No one is baffled by this.
We all saw it coming.
Scary.
So, fire all the scientists who might be able to help and already told us to be on our toes.
Good thing to remember next time we're tempted to reject a real candidate with feet of clay in favor of imaginary, unattainable perfection.
We could have avoided this unfolding horror nearly a decade ago with a circumspect critique of "But Hillary gave speeches to bankers!"
Let's not pine for the impossible and shoot ourselves in the foot a third time.
Michael Porter @ScienceDesk Don’t worry, all those tornadoes are going to disappear after NOAA is shut down…
There was more tornados than that. Many were in rural areas and not officially confirmed.
@SpaceLifeForm @ScienceDesk @sciencefocus
As the weather gets more extreme, I suspect there will be more suppression of this kind of data to make upcoming severe weather events look "not that bad".
@TheEffekt @ScienceDesk @sciencefocus
The less NWS employees, the fewer confirmed tornados.
I have seen rural tornado damage that was never confirmed.
If a tornado cuts thru a forest, and no one was around to hear the roar of the tornado, are the trees still standing?
@SpaceLifeForm @TheEffekt @ScienceDesk @sciencefocus Further, are insurance companies required to fulfill their side of the deal?
@b00tl00ps @TheEffekt @ScienceDesk @sciencefocus
They will try to deny a claim. Paying out impacts their bottom line. They want you to jump thru hoops and give up. Scam.

Well sure... it's God's judgment on all these useless Trumper trailer park denizens.
Gee, if only the USA had government policies and programs to transition to a lower carbon emissions economy.
In the logic of today, we should get rid of the people who can predict tornadoes, the equipment to track them, warning systems, any research, and definitely get rid of FEMA. The new motto is "Your tornado, your problem." Also "Don't call us and don't worry, we won't call you either."
@ScienceDesk @sciencefocus bafflement depends on how much you know. If, like the US regime, you know nothing, then bafflement sounds like an improvement. If, however, you understand the climate and the atmosphere, this was probably predicted years ago. Maybe 20 years ago when 47 was still in nappies.
