We have a few days to go… before the left starts “blaming” this good news on global warming.
In the whirlwind that is 2018, there has been a notable lack of high-end twisters.
We’re now days away from this becoming the first year in the modern record with no violent tornadoes touching down in the United States. Violent tornadoes are the strongest on a 0 to 5 scale, or those ranked EF4 or EF5.
It was a quiet year for tornadoes overall, with below normal numbers most months. Unless you’re a storm chaser, this is not bad news. The low tornado count is undoubtedly a big part of the reason the 10 tornado deaths in 2018 is also vying to be a record low.
While we still have several days to go in 2018, and some severe weather is likely across the South to close it out, odds favor the country making it the rest of the way without a violent tornado.
If and when that happens, it will be the first time since the modern record began in 1950.
Are the lame lefties going to blame this on President Trump??
Oh no, it’s climate change!
Stop burning fossil fuels so we can have our deadly storms back.
GLO-BULL climate warming change!
And it’s STILL Trump/Bush/Bush/Reagan/Ford/Nixon/Eisenhower/Hoover/Coolidge/Harding/Roosevelt/McKinley/Harrison/Hayes/Garfield/Lincoln’s fault!!! 🙄
Rude and disrespectful yes.
But not violent.
Sun spots, baby. Sure had a real good time.
In related news, experts are blaming Trump as the mobile home industry weathers one of its worst years ever in sales.
It’s good to see Trumps Tornado Rehab program working so well.

There’s always next year and the year after that etc.
Where I live in central Maryland there have been multiple tornadoes touching down the last few years, and two just this past fall. These aren’t the massive tornadoes like you see in the plains states, but we NEVER used to get anything.
I can show you the downed trees that trace the paths of two that were within just a mile of my house (north and south). They lifted rooves off houses.
BFH is right again:
Global Warming Policy Forum: Fewer tornadoes are touching down in the United States, and we can thank global warming. This is the good news from researchers at the University of Illinois, who suggest that changes in atmospheric circulation linked to Arctic sea-ice retreat is the likely cause.
Nicely done, Flip!
I chose “rooves” to screw with the grammar nazis…
