Tornados are one of the known unknowns in climate change.. Some think more heat and atmospheric water means bigger ones, some feel wind shear will decrease, so there will be fewer ones, one guy last night thought that Tornado Alley would expand to the NE, with a lengthened season. Maybe they will become wider. One of those things we'll all find out together.

"Our planet is five billion years old, and it has been changing constantly all during that time. [...] Our atmosphere is as violent as the land beneath it. At any moment there are one thousand five hundred electrical storms across the planet. Eleven lightning bolts strike the ground each second. A tornado tears across the surface every six hours. And every four days, a giant cyclonic STORM, hundreds of miles in diameter, spins over the ocean and wreaks havoc on the land.The nasty little apes that call themselves human beings can do nothing except RUN and hide. For these same apes to imagine they can stabilize this atmosphere is arrogant beyond belief. They can’t control the climate.The reality is, they run from the storms."
