Insane Footage Shows Tornado Destroying Wind Farm In Iowa
Insane Footage Shows Tornado Destroying Wind Farm In Iowa
Shocking footage from Iowa this evening shows multiple tornadoes wreaking havoc on massive wind turbines. This is yet another reminder that wind is not a reliable power source.
Here’s the aftermath.
Two months ago, a solar farm in Texas with hundreds of acres of ground-based panels was destroyed by a hail storm.
Despite the evident challenges and risks, radical leftists continue pouring billions of dollars of taxpayer funds into unreliable green energy.
… and perfect timing! “Twisters,” a standalone sequel to the 1996 film “Twister,” is set to debut this summer.
Tornadoes strike across 7 states with more severe weather on the way
Tornadoes strike across 7 states with more severe weather on the way
Severe weather is forecast for Thursday across the entire South.
The threat for tornadoes continues Thursday following an outbreak of deadly storms throughout the Midwest and South over the past few days.
As of Thursday afternoon, at least 17 tornadoes had been reported in the previous 24 hours across seven states. There have been nearly 100 reported or confirmed tornadoes across 18 states since Monday.
Over 30 million Americans, from Texas to South Carolina, are in the storm zone and can expect to see severe weather Thursday night into early Friday. The tornado threat is lower than it has been during the multiday outbreak — damaging winds and large hail will be the main threat with these storms Thursday — though a couple of tornadoes will still remain possible.
Damaging winds up to 70 mph, scattered hail and a couple of tornadoes will all be possible as a cluster of thunderstorms with a history of producing tornadoes moves through southern Georgia, heading south and east through the evening.
A tornado watch has been issued for South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida until 9 p.m. ET Thursday. The cities located in that tornado watch include Jacksonville, Florida; Savannah, Georgia; and Charleston, South Carolina.
In Texas, a cluster of storms is expected to fire up Thursday afternoon and evening then progress west across the Gulf Coast states through the overnight hours. The main threats are significant wind gusts to 85 mph and very large hail up to 4 inches, though a couple of tornadoes cannot be ruled out.
A tornado watch has also been issued for parts of Texas, including Dallas, Waco and Abilene, through 9 p.m. CT Thursday.
Global Warming May Spawn More Southeast US Tornadoes
Global Warming May Spawn More Southeast US Tornadoes
The same loopy weather patterns directing California’s ongoing drought and last year’s deep freeze across the East Coast may also change how often tornadoes strike the southeastern United States, a new modeling study finds.
Researchers examined how global warming will affect severe weather during the heart of tornado season — March, April and May. They found that while the yearly tornado total will climb by 2080, the number of tornadoes will also vary wildly from year to year. That’s because sometimes, the weather will get stuck in a pattern that favors tornadoes, and sometimes, conditions will stymie stormy weather, according to the report, published Jan. 15 in the journal Climatic Change.
“We see this trend in a lot of extreme weather,” said lead study author Victor Gensini, a severe storms climatologist at the College of DuPage in Illinois. “Changes in the jet stream are causing the jet to break down and get stuck in these blocking patterns,” Gensini said. “It just so happens it could be in a favorable pattern for tornadoes or a really bad pattern [for tornadoes].” [The Top 5 Deadliest Tornado Years in U.S. History]
