All of those weather patterns seem to be getting so much more extreme. My other tornado experience was one afternoon when I was late leaving work to get home in time for the kids to get off the school bus, As I drove down our road and came to our neighbor's house that moments before been flattened by a tornado. I could see the path that the tornado had taken through the woods and trees were flattened and I could see that there was already assistance arriving at the neighbors house so I kept driving not knowing what I would find when I got home. It was the most terrifying 1-mile drive I ever made. But when I got home everything appeared fine, the kids were in the house and had no idea that just up the road all of that chaos had even happened. It had all been fine just 10 minutes before when they had gone past on the bus.

WOW so lucky the kids were home safe and the tornado missed them completely, that must have been a truly unsettling experience indeed and yes I do agree the weather patterns have surely changed the extremes getting more extreme, but so many people refuse to see it, but to me it is so clear

Whether they choose to see it or not it will soon become an undeniable fact when it reaches their own back yard, I'm afraid!

yes I think your are spot on, I think a big part of the problem is the term global warming, when it gets extreme cold or storms they say that proves its not warming, the term Climate change is what should have been used and is more accurate

That is right, and I think understanding that there is a difference between weather and climate is important.

Exactly and a lesson so many need to learn, but so many have blinkers on this and so many matters

That is the truth. OK.. Subject change before I say something I shouldn't. Are the presents all wrapped and the food preparation started for your family festivities?
