Given that climate change is something that absolutely will happen

You misspelled "is currently happening and is only going to continue getting worse".

But yeah, Michigan's pretty nice. And we've got tons of freshwater lakes around to help take the edge off the rest of humanity running out of water. Move in now before the climate refugees start buying up all the good land.

Earthquakes are like weather underground.

Once the snow hits the ground it is no longer weather.

Falling rocks is my favorite weather

Falling rocks is the original weather. That's why they call it meteorology.

Why so many tornados? What about climate change causes the wind to be so strong?

I don't know a lot about this part

More heat means more water evaporation, which means more water vapor in the air. More water vapor in the air leads to the LCL (lifting condensation level: the height at which the relative humidity of a parcel of air reaches 100%) tending to be lower to the ground; and tornadoes are more likely to form -- and be stronger when they do -- when the LCL is lower than higher. The worst tornadoes happen when the LCL is at about 400-600 meters; that's about the right height for air movement to cause the strongest rotation.

More heat also means stronger convective currents, which increases SRH (storm relative helicity: a measure of wind shear potential for cyclonic updraft rotation); and higher SRH also contributes to tornado formation because more air moving = more chance for a vortex to form.
