I was watching Breaking Severe Storms and the storm chasers were reporting it. Maybe they were drunk.

Storms in North Dakota at this time.

Severe thundrestorm warnings in areas of North Carolina.

This weather is very scary lately. We had two smaller tornadoes (that did a lot of damage) in the past month in upstate NY. It was rare we would get one but now it is much more often. We have another storm coming this afternoon and they say it could be severe. Praying that it passes through quickly with no damage.

I heard an interesting interview the other day, The focus was on all these terrible weather events all over the country. The person interviewed said that if we were not actively trying to stop climate change, then we must get better prepared for these tragic events.

Food for thought?

We have more rain/storms the next several days...and more flooding since the ground is already saturated. Last nite we had an alert not to travel because of flooding. In other words, stay where you are. We were in a restaurant and even with volume off, the alerts ring out.

Totally agree with you: Here in PA that long and the same weather change.

Scariest moment last evening before dinner as the thunder and lightning progressed: one extremely loud sky noise literally shook our home as never before. I thought it was a prelude to an earthquake !!! 😮

With all the scientific findings as well as the current events, i.e., floods, wild fires, droughts, atmospheric rivers, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc., " climate change " is more than a passing topic. Globally so many lives have been lost, so many lives devastatingly impacted, while communities destroyed, life savings wiped out, widespread starvation, etc.

And yet, continuing research and early warning from current data gathering are being jettisoned ! Europe seems to be more proactive in strengthening scientific research that would enable them to be better positioned to protect their inhabitants from destruction.

Maybe another Age of Enlightenment is needed. What a horrible legacy we are leaving for our children and the world. When they realize what we have done, it will be too late...

You can say THAT again!

Yesterday's 118° heat was a record-breaking scorcher for this date! di

It's going to be like this for days ahead. Today will be the third day of this. Searing heat and big thunder storms rolling around in the afternoon. The stronger the storm, the more the risk of a tornado. The lightning is especially strong.

Scary weather all over the US. I think I'll stay in Florida and risk the hurricanes! Only been in 1 bad one in 85 years! Not bad odds!

The Earth's climate has changed over millions and millions and millions of years, from one extreme to another.

Mankind just happens to be caught up in one of the shifts.
