11 Straight Days of Tornadoes Have U.S. Approaching 'Uncharted Territory'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CELINA, Ohio — The tornado screeching across southern Ohio on Monday night triggered a cellphone alert that roused Rich Schlarman. He ignored it. Then came another. That was enough to persuade him to hurry his 83-year-old mother toward the basement.

“We only made it down about four steps when I heard a loud boom,” Mr. Schlarman said. “If we hadn’t made it down as far as we had, we would probably not have made it.”

On Tuesday, his home was a shambles: walls bent, doors tilted, the roof gone — another house crippled amid a stretch of severe weather that has tormented communities from the Rocky Mountains to the Mid-Atlantic in recent weeks.

Now the severe weather had come to Celina, a city of about 10,000 people about 60 miles northwest of Dayton, causing the kind of devastation that has left state after state with ruined buildings and grieving families this spring.

2. Nope! No climate issues here.

All is well. I wonder if this is going to change any minds in the red states. I don't want any harm to come to anybody, but it seems to me that weather is getting more extreme everywhere, especially in this part of the country. You would think some people would eventually wake up and realize that this is not just a one-off.

Severe storms plowed through Ohio and seven other states late Monday, killing a Celina man as he slept in his home and injuring as many as 130 people by the time they ended Tuesday morning. Storm reports indicate 53 tornadoes may have touched down, and the National Weather Service already confirmed at least four in Ohio.

Celina, in Mercer County in western Ohio, and communities near Dayton bore the brunt of the storm. “There’s areas that truly look like a war zone,” Celina Mayor Jeffrey Hazel said Tuesday.
------------
Storm reports posted online by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center showed that 14 suspected tornadoes touched down in Indiana, 11 in Colorado and nine in Ohio. Six were reported in Iowa, five in Nebraska, four in Illinois and three in Minnesota, with one in Idaho.
------------
Outbreaks of 50 or more tornadoes have happened 63 times in U.S. history, with three instances on record of more than 100 twisters, said Patrick Marsh of the Storm Prediction Center. That includes a deadly April 27, 2011, “super outbreak” of 173 tornadoes.
