It's not quite a non-sequitur. Brock Lesnar as a pro wrestler used a move called the F-5 as a finisher. It consisted of hoisting the opponent up into a fireman's carry, then lifting him off and spinning him into a face-first drop.

I think part of this may just be better alerting. When I was a kid, they'd just give an entire county a Tornado Warning and you'd have to listen to the radio to have vague "yeah it was spotted 10 miles west of the interstate". Now, the warning is specific to a particular storm path, and doppler radars are to the point where you can track rotation in real-time. I'm not taking shelter unless the thing is within walking distance anymore.

Freakazoidandroid t1_iua5rmk wrote

Sure, you might be right about the warnings, but they don’t affect the strength of the storm. That’s what this interesting fact is talking about. Not the death and destruction, but the actual strength of tornadoes being irregularly low in recent years.

IndigoFenix t1_iucn6ja wrote

Although the Fujita scale is theoretically based on wind speed, the actual tornadoes themselves are rated based on the damage they cause, since people rarely manage to get proper measuring equipment inside a tornado.

The scale was actually changed in 2007 to account for more complex variables, and it is believed that the earlier scale may have frequently overestimated the wind speed of tornados.

This isn't really surprising.

This is the most basic predicted effect of climate change.

The higher latitudes increase temperature much more than the sub-tropical latitudes, so the air mixing east of the rockies will on average have a much smaller temperature differential.

smaller temperature difference means fewer and weaker tornadoes.

Forgive me for seeming obtuse, but I was under the impression that weather extremes would increase due to climate change.

You're saying that the planet will slowly die... but we'll get less tornadoes as a result?

jedimika t1_iu8ab2z wrote

Look at the question a little bit different.

The US has more tornados than any other country, 1100-1200 per year. Canada is #2 with about 100 a year. Then conditions for our massive tornado count are a unique balance of weather patterns. As climate changes that balance could weaken/ break.

And while it would mean that this specific weather event becomes less common, others will become more prevalent. And the big hit is areas not used to certain events could get more. Texas has a hard time with blizzards, Maine has never seen a heatwave in the 110s.

Interestingly, the UK has more tornados than the US according to QI, but they are just much weaker.

As I rarely trust the fact checking on QI, as they almost always are wrong on facts about my area of expertise, I cannot imagine it to be true that GB has more tornados than the US, but they said on QI that there were more tornados in GB annually than the US.

This is like the cynical politician bringing a snowball to a meeting about global warming lol and why "global warming" fell out of favor even though it's true on average

Its a matter of WHERE.....Some places will get warmer, some will get wetter, some will get drier, Climate Change is far more accurate

As other people have said Tornadoes are caused by differences in temperature, we have some crazy conditions in the US for Tornadoes, we have hot air and cold air slamming into each other across the country and that causes a lot of Tornadoes, as that air temperature evens out there is less chaos to cause those vortices to form

We say there is going to be (and we see already) an increase in "severe weather events" but that doesn't necessarily mean "More Tornadoes" in America but it will mean more massive flooding, more wild thunderstorms, bigger Hurricanes, longer droughts, snowstorms in places that never got them and no snow in places where it always snows and it might very well mean that somewhere else might get more Tornadoes as things shift around....things may calm down in some places and ramp up in others, but its going to change everywhere

HalobenderFWT t1_iu939jq wrote

Technically, while temperature difference can be a factor in the cause of a tornado - that’s like saying dry wood is a cause for a forest fire.

The temperature difference is the cause for the storms (along with moisture, and instability), that can potentially cause a tornado, but you’re not going to have a tornado without a strong wind shear.

Nobody is saying the planet will die. The planet will do just fine; our coastal cities might be underwater, but the planet won't care about that.

The IPCC says the only weather extremes linked to climate change are increased high temperature records outside the tropics and subtropics, and more heat waves.

The IPCC specifically excludes things like increased rain, increased drought, stronger winter storms, stronger summer storms, etc. So any time you hear some activist claiming weather is caused by climate change, know that the mainstream scientists have said it's not true.

The oddest prediction was decreased land-falling hurricanes in the US, but right after that prediction was published we had the longest period in history of no major hurricanes hitting the US.

vahntitrio t1_iubxvxd wrote

Wind shear is needed for tornadoes. That's why peak tornado season is in spring, not the summer.

Another factor is that some areas get so hot and humid these days, when there is ample wind shear storms grow upscale too quickly because of the abundance of energy. Large tornadoes particularly will not happen after storms merge into a line.

It's like we live on different planets. The truth I know is the opposite of what you wrote.

Fewer and weaker tornadoes have definitely been linked to climate change.

The IPCC says there are no linakges to hurricanes. Aw hell, let me go look up specifics

Here is what the IPCC says exactly:

> “[T]here is still no consensus on the relative magnitude of human and natural influences on past changes in Atlantic hurricane activity, and particularly on which factor has dominated the observed increase (Ting et al., 2015) and it remains uncertain whether past changes in Atlantic TC activity are outside the range of natural variability.”

The IPCC has concluded that since 1900 there is > “no trend in the frequency of USA landfall events.” This goes for all hurricanes and also for the strongest hurricanes, called major hurricanes.

More broadly, > Continental U.S. landfalls are just a small proportion of all North Atlantic hurricanes, which in turn are just a small proportion of all global tropical cyclone activity. Since at least 1980, there are no clear trends in overall global hurricane and major hurricane activity.

And then there's this (emphasis mine): > here are many characteristics of tropical cyclones that are under study and hypothesized to be potentially affected by human influences (including but not limited to greenhouse gas forcings). These include tropical cyclone rainfall intensity, speed of storm movement, latitude of storm formation, pace of intensification, length of seasonality and many more. You can easily find different studies and different scientists with contrasting views on the role of human influence on tropical cyclones, but at present, there is not a unified community consensus on these hypotheses, as summarized by the World Meteorological Organization in several recent expert assessments.

I mean predictions may be becoming less, well, predictable, but that is a consequence of the climate being less predictable because it's changing. Hence the "change" in "climate change".

That's as far as I know anyways, I won't pretend to know anything about any of this. It's all for scientists to figure out, and most scientists have said the climate change is happening and we can stop it by buying the Elon Musk cars and the Green New Deal.

How is it so difficult to understand that climate and weather will simply change and is already doing so? You can have less rain and then one rain that is pouring down so much that it counts as more rain...like we had over here this year. This rain is totally useless for the soil. You can have less wind overall but then severe storms more frequent. The weather is going to be more volatile and different to the eco system than its used to, even though your personal momentarily feeling might be different.

I had a longer post, using the same sources and methodology, that got rejected by some other subreddits multiple times. It was originally geared towards having a discussion about why it's been so long. I retooled it into a "factoid" with the same intention of asking why it's been so long without an EF5, for this sub. Short answer, yes I did take this into account. Under the Fujita scale, the longest gap between F5 tornadoes (since the 1950s) was 5 years, until the previous record of 8 years (May 3, 1999 - May 4, 2007). Under the new Enhanced Fujita Scale, it is now 9 years, 5 months and some-odd days, and counting since an EF5 tornado has hit the US.

time2fly2124 t1_iu8v2c7 wrote

The Fujita scales have always been about recorded damage due to a tornado. The only change between the F scale and the EF scale was windspeeds. The original scale over estimated speeds, and the new EF scale accurately depicts better data that was collected to adjust the speeds. An F5 and EF5 still produce catastrophic damage, same as how an F1 and EF1 will produce minimal damage.

Poke-Party t1_iuaior3 wrote

Likely more of a product of lack of EF5 caliber tornadoes hitting something that would qualify as an EF5 rating. Remember, the rating scale is based on DAMAGE not wind speed. Therefore, if it doesn’t hit an extremely well built structure the maximum rating it can be given is EF4.

El Reno, OK 2013 had measured wind speeds using radar over 300 mph but failed to hit anything to give it an EF5 rating.

Basically, it’s very difficult to say whether the gap we are seeing is simply bad (good?) luck or part of some overall trend.

zenith3200 t1_iubvffy wrote

Exactly, there've been probably a dozen or more tornadoes over the last decade that have clearly produced wind speeds that are in excess of EF5-strength ratings but they never hit anything. El Reno being the biggest case in point on that.

Here’s even more of a head fuck: we have very convincing evidence that the Clean Air Act is leading to more storm development in the Atlantic. Less air pollution has resulted in sea surface temperatures rising now that there isn’t a blanket of air pollution to keep the temperature down. There is also an impact on the jet stream, reducing wind shear and therefore assisting storm development.

Now obviously the Clean Air Act is extremely important and objectively good. But it’s another example of how we need to talk seriously about weather resilience and avoiding, for example, rebuilding extremely vulnerable coastal communities after a storm like Ian.

Edit: have you all downvoting bother to read the article? Its USA specific all the way, and you just think its normal to use we without actually saying who is we in this title gore, and downvote me for pointing out your egocentrism Hahah great example of "merica", loved it

Since 1950, Canada has had one tornado officially rated an F5.[8] Outside the United States and Canada, six tornadoes have been officially rated F5/EF5/T10+ or equivalent: two each in France, Germany, and one in Italy and Argentina.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_F5_and_EF5_tornadoes Does that answer your question?

Yes it does. And it shows that the original OP was true. We, being humanity, are in our longest streak of not having one.

do you realize the article is not about the world? The title was wrong (btw, they added a flair correcting now), there is no way to conclude from the article that that was true and talking about the whole world, because it ONLY talks about the united states, but whatever

And? It's an American news article. Why would it NOT be about the US? And OP posted it saying "we", which is factually true no matter how you slice it. So you COULD have gone with the interpretation of "Well, it's true for everyone." But you decided to go with the interpretation that could let you complain about it, instead.

Maybe because this sub is not about the US? And this kind of stuff happens all the time in here? And again, I was so not wrong that they added the flair hehe But yeah, go on to live your happy alienated gringo life, is not like your country fucked with mine a lot to give reason for any kind of hatred towards your (as country) magnanimous self centeredness, no no, people just complain and you are just so great right?

You are on an American website, using an American App/Browser, on a device running an American OS. Why is it surprising that WE refers to the US?
