Summary: Because wind pressure has changed, more severe storms are on their way. This is apparently because of jet streams, which stir up the air and make tornados more likely to happen.
Critique: I like studying things about the weather, so I thought this was cool. Where I live, there aren’t many tornados at all, but if this article is true, we’ll be in for a huge surprise.
Impact: Get this, people. So I was looking at Tornado myths (See link below) and I saw this little graph thingy:
Top Weather Killers From 1960-1996:
Flash floods: 4,629
Lightning: 3,221
Tornados: 2,734
Hurricanes: 1,104
Hard to believe isn’t it? I guess this will make people feel a little bit better when they hear about another Hurricane, right?
