flying cuttlefish picayune

Predictably the unprecedented super-tordado outbreak (still ongoing) gets no scientific analysis on tv or in print media.

Anyone can see volatility in  weather worldwide especially in the last 2 years.

This is from meteorologist Jeff Masters –

 . . . the tornado total for this week’s outbreak may rival the April 14 – 16 tornado outbreak (155 confirmed tornadoes) as the greatest April tornado outbreak in history. It is unprecedented to have two such massive tornado outbreaks occur so close together, and the April preliminary tornado count of 654 is truly stunning. Even adjusting this number downwards 15% (the typical over-count in preliminary tornado reports) yields a probable April tornado total of 550. This easily crushes the previous April tornado record of 267, set in 1974. An average April has “only” 163 tornadoes, so we are already 300% over average for the month, and may approach 400% after today’s outbreak. . . .

AND the April 27 article goes on with this stunner:

 Midwest deluge enhanced by near-record Gulf of Mexico sea surface temperatures

The deluge of rain that caused this flood found its genesis in a flow of warm, humid air coming from the Gulf of Mexico. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs )in the Gulf of Mexico are currently close to 1 °C above average. Only two Aprils since the 1800s (2002 and 1991) have had April SSTs more than 1 °C above average, so current SSTs are among the highest on record. . . .

No carbon effect here. Carry on.
