The Amazon facility in my town got tore in half and that's the only damage we got. God says gently caress Bezos.

The vaccinated made particularly destructive debris given the plutonium in their vaccimplants. :rip:

this poo poo is crazy. ive been reading and watching videos about tornados for most of life but ive never seen anything like this scale of destruction in the footage. its really horrifying

i mean i know there were large outbreaks in the past where more people were killed like the one in 1920, but that was in an era before radar and the kinds of warning systems that exist now. im not sure they even had sirens back then.

The oil companies really ought to be selling how climate change is good because it allows for more opportunities to pinch a loaf and have it lofted over 30,000 feet into the air.

yeah, except this wasn’t the plains, it’s the mid-south. which didn’t used to be a tornado hotspot, but climate change has pushed tornado alley east over the past 50 or so years. the plains had a historically low number of tornadoes this past season.

also it seems like they are more likely to occur at night in that region which makes them much deadlier

I had mentioned something similar to my wife as the sirens were going off at 9pm last night. I couldn't give two shits about the storm cause it was dark and I needed to go to sleep, but a few months ago during a day storm I watched the wind do things to trees I'd never really seen before.

growing up in tornado alley we had tornados like every year... the last ten years I don't think we've had a single one that was as bad as those when I was a kid 30 years ago.


regardless you need reinforced basements or storm shelters to limit loss of life in this scenarios... and tornado insurance for the structural damage.

I wonder if these new areas getting hit have made the necessary changes?

Just kidding I know they haven't. Enjoy that climate change.

But what did it look like after the tornadoes went through?

Just scroll through the "historic downtown" in reverse.

Empty storefronts, deserted sidewalks with no souls in sight. A few gap toothed strips of tired-looking old pre-war brick buildings, a memory of better times. A fine building that might have been a bank or department store, now (until a few hours ago) a cheap rent-to-own appliance place. A gaudy and desperate "God bless america" flag painting.

The "historic downtown" was already a faded grandparents' recollection before the monstrous calamity visited upon this town. Mean household income $30K. Lots of fair sized houses for sale in that price range. This was not a wealthy town. It's going to be difficult times for the people sticking around and trying to rebuild. How many had tornado insurance coverage?

I mean effectively zero right? Thats not a priority if you don't usually see tornados and especially if you're very poor.

here's a site showing the number of tornados in kentucky since 1950 and it makes the geographic climate shift really obvious

like, there have always been some tornados in the region but back in the 50's and 60's it was like 2-5 per year, maybe 10 in a particularly bad year.

then in the 70's there are a few outliers like one year there were over 50, but still mostly between 5-20 with quite a lot of variation.

then it really picks up at the turn of the century and its been consistently in the double digits (and over 20 per year almost every year) since 2002.

(edit: the site has clearly not been updated with last nights storm)
