    The book itself is fiction, but it is informative, nonetheless, in case you've never read it.

    It's called weather. It's a combination of cool air over the Pacific and the southerly (east to west) flow of the jet stream. As summer gets closer, the jet stream will move further north and these problems will move north with them. And then, guess what? Hurricanes will start to form in the tropics.:eek:

    Why oh why did we use aerosol deodorant?

    The gulf stream is also a key factor in tornado season in tornado alley. It supplies the warm, moist air that creates tornadoes. When it collides with the jet stream, the turbulent conditions are induced, leading to the formation of supercells . So if the gulf is warmer, then tornado season is likely to be more active.

    It's called climate. There is a difference.

    My family and I were camping on the Tennessee river. When we heard all the storms were heading our way we packed up and came home. It's nice to be home. Just seen on the weather channel the exact place we were camping is getting hit with a thunderstorm and has tornado watches. I had to get my family out of there. Good luck to all of you that have and are experiencing all the bad weather.

    i also cant say for a fact that tornadoes are not the violent coughs of a magical invisible dragon.

    stop using this logic, it is stupid.

    tornadoes have been destroying humans for all of history.

    and perhaps i am confused but doesnt red's graph show a decline in tornado activity?

    you can't reason with this moron. He is so ate up with anything "anti-right" that it has consumed him and taken over his soul. Don't waste your key strokes.
