As states across the Midwest and South pick up the pieces after a spate of tornadoes believed to have killed dozens of people, the top US emergency management official warned Sunday that such cataclysms will be the “new normal.”
“The effects we are seeing of climate change are the crisis of our generation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Criswell added that while it was “not unusual” for tornadoes to strike in December, “at this magnitude, I don’t think we have ever seen one this late in the year.”
“Even the severity and the amount of time this tornado or these tornadoes spent on the ground is unprecedented,” she said.

Never let some dead bodies go to waste.

The deadliest tornado outbreak sequence in American history. Killer tornadoes touched down from Texas to Pennsylvania. Produced at least three F5 tornadoes and several F4s, including an F4 that killed at least 255 people and injured 1,236 in the St. Louis area. In Sherman Texas on May 15, one of the most intense tornadoes of the 19th century according to Grazulis struck. "Extraordinary" damage occurred to farms and 20 homes that were completely obliterated and swept away. An iron-beam bridge was torn apart and scattered, with one of the beams deeply embedded into the ground. Trees were reduced to debarked stumps, and grass was scoured from lawns in town as well. Several headstones at a cemetery were shattered or thrown up to 250 yards through the air, and a trunk lid from Sherman was found 35 miles away. Reliable reports said that numerous bodies were carried hundreds of yards, and that multiple deaths occurred in 17 different families; seven deaths were in one family alone. In Seneca Kansas on May 17, an opera house was swept away along with some farms. Entire farms were reportedly swept clean of debris, leaving the areas "bare as the prairie. In Ortonville-Oakwood Michigan on May 25th, houses and farms were leveled and swept away, with debris carried up to 12 mi (19 km) away. Trees were completely debarked, with even small twigs stripped bare in some cases. (>38 significant, 3 F5, 9 violent, ≥22 killer)

Hitting Ctrl+F and searching for December gives you 53 results which are actually 23 separate tornadoes or tornado outbreaks so don't let anyone tell you December is "rare". Plenty for Nov, January, February, March as well.
All of the above were before the Industrial Age.
Bkmrk
The New Normal is rat ghouls using every tragedy and instance of human suffering for political gain.
The main cause is crappy houses and warehouses. Buildings were once built to last. Modern ones are disposable. Only meant to last a few years, and collapsing under any mild strain.

It’s either that, or it’s racism. And clever is the Leftist who can blame something bad on both racism and climate change.
New normal. Bunk. We are governed by fools.
We live near the Gulf Coast. November, December, and January have always been our worst months for bad tornadoes. I’m over 70. And I can remember my grandmother saying the same thing.
