CLIMATE CHANGE TORNADO CONNECTION

The U.S. logs the greatest number of powerful twisters in the warmer months from March to July. Climate change could increase tornado intensity in cooler months by many orders of magnitude more than previously expected with greater availability of warm, humid air systems expected to  provide an important ingredient for violent tempests. During the recent tornado outbreak in Kentucky winds measured at more than 300 miles per hour. The supercell thunderstorm tore a 200-mile path, something never seen before with debris found 30,000 feet up in the atmosphere.
