Tornadoes Now Hitting Hurricane Country?

Berserk Weather Answer to Global Warming Denials

from JoeUser Forums


In a surprising timing reminiscent of a terrorist 9/11 attack, Mother Nature threw a brickbrat of bizarre weather patterns sending seven (yes,7) tornadoes creating a large swath of devastation to include overturned trucks, trailers,and buses destroyed properties and 19 confirmed fatalities in the wee hours of the morning (3am) today to where? No, not Missouri, not Kansas, not even Texas, but in Florida - central Florida to be exact, particularly in Lake County and the surrounding areas.

According to weather experts, the intensity of the tornadoes were registered as an F3, possible an F4 type according to the Fujita Tornado scale. Weather prediction was broadcast at around 3am.

Now since when are tornadoes suppose to hit this area where generations of the populace are rehearsed to prepare for hurricanes ? So, I guess all this global warming predictions are really all in the minds of those alarmist environmentalists, huh? So, screw the Kyoto protocol and let's all go full steam ahead with the green house gas emissions from the gas-guzzling cars and factories all favorable to the oil industry, right ? What do the voting public care about global warming anyway ? They're not as dramatic and vote-getting as the War on Terrorism or the Iraq War.

So, what're we waiting for - Hurricanes in Kansas ?

Since the dawn of time. Perhaps you should do some research before proclaiming the sky is falling.

Yeah...Floridian tornadoes really aren't that much of an anomaly. They happen quite often. And quite often, they spawn from hurricanes.

And quite often, tornadoes spawn from hurricanes in TX, LA, and all along them thar other states you mentioned, too.

The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the highest for any January on record, according to scientists at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The most unusually warm conditions were in the mid- and high-latitude land areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Sure, both hurricanes and tornadoes get initiated by warm air; for hurricanes, the initiating event would be the warm air built over large bodies of water like the Gulf of Mexico and for tornadoes, the warm air built over land-locked areas like the midwest Kansas, Missouri, even parts of Texas. Since the dawn of time tornadoes have been known to frequent these land-locked areas. For Florida, with its lean body of land sticking out towards both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, hurricanes would be the rule. The occurence of seven tornadoes at one time over this leaner mass of land is certainly not an impossibility, but it is not only exceptional, but an actual oddity, when it comes to the frequency of it occuring over Florida. Can you offer me any research that says this event is commonplace in the areas affected other than the anecdotal remarks already given ?

No really. It IS!

Wow, you're right, scatter. Can't let a little thing like FACTS get in our way, can we? Facts like:

WWW Link

If you peruse this page, you'll find that Florida averages 49 tornadoes per year, and had a record 115 in 1995.

Moving on, how about:

WWW Link

If you look closely at this website, which lists all Florida tornadoes by county, you'll notice several in the month of January. In fact, you'll notice they're pretty much a year round occurrence in the sunshine state.

But oh, no, I'm not finished yet. How about:

WWW Link

7 tornadoes on February 22-23, 1998 killed 42 people, injured more than 260 others.

And last but certainly not least, how about this little tidbit:

WWW Link

You'll note that Florida finishes an astonishing FOURTH for most tornadoes, trailing only Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. An anomaly? Hardly.

Oh, but I don't blame you for not finding these obscure stats, scatter. After all, it is extremely difficult to type the words "tornadoes Florida" into Google's search engine whilst dodging falling acorns!

I have lived in south and central Florida on and off since 1972, we get a lot of tornadoes here. This last batch hit only 10 miles from my house. We get them in Miami as well. Big deal we have been getting them for as long as humans have been living in Florida. We also have water spouts which are tornadoes over the water on an almost daily basis. But if all you know is learned from the global warming groups then you would be surprised and angry that global warming is the cause of such destruction and stupid Bush should have embraced the accords to prevent this from happening. If you live in Florida then it is no surprise. If you are going to jump on a band wagon to save the planet try doing a little research on your causes it will surprise you what you might learn. We don’t have tornado shelters in our homes because the water table is only a few feet at most below the surface because most of Florida used to be under water. When I lived in south Florida you could not dig more than six inches before you hit coral my house at the time was three miles from the ocean which meant that my house used to be several feet under water at one time. That water is now trapped at the poles and will be returning as soon as it warms up enough to bring the earth back into balance with what it was 25,000 years ago.
Global warming has been happening since the end of the last ice age 13,000 years ago or the earth would still be covered in ice. I will buy a clue for you. This is a cycle that runs on average of 20,000 years between hot and cold earth. At most we have another 10,000 years before the next ice age or as little as 6 months. Who was driving SUV’s and polluting the earth to cause the last ice age or the warming period prior to the last ice age since modern man has only been on this planet as a species since the end of the last ice age? Think about it.
