AOC says ‘casual tornadoes’ are a new threat to the country

[flacaltenn]

This is where her stupidity achieves epic proportions. At least, she should restrain from the science lectures and the finger wagging UNTIL an ACTUAL tornado touches down in DC...

Because from my experience in Tenn, if the nation had NextRad Doppler Radar and "correlation products" and satellites and all the other diagnostic measurement tools back in the 19th century ---

Instead of just 7 ACTUAL tornado reports from weather history of DC, there'd also be a history of about SEVENTY NOAA weather alerts for "tornado warnings" for DC.... It's about 10 to 1... Because they are WARNINGS, not tornadoes...

So it's not "casual tornadoes" -- it's "possible tornadoes".. The better the tools, the more time the alarms go off. That's NOT "global warming" , it's preparedness. Perhaps NOAA and NWService should stop SCARING folks with all those "false warnings"...

 

[Jackson]

Is there any way a candidate can get NEGATIVE NUMBER of votes in an election? If there is, it would appear after AOC's name.

Uh.
I wish the leader of the Democratic Party would be more clear.

So this broad is a meteorologist too? Is there anything she doesn't know?

so are these "Casual Tornadoes" having "Casual Sex" with one another too?

 

[irosie91]

I feel sorry for her. Like so many of the feeble-minded brainwashed fools in her generation, this poor millennial has been so traumatized by Al Gore's loathsome fear mongering tactics that she really does believe that the end of the world is nigh.

the end is near??? so I don't have to clean my stove?

She cant help it. She's just like all the other college kids who have been spoon fed this crap for years. It's Indoctrination at its finest.

I think part of it too is that before Doppler became so commonplace, a tornado wasn't officially a tornado until it hit something or killed somebody as that would be the only reason Uncle Sam would send somebody out to look at the damage and make the determination.

She knows so little about life and how things work.. I'm amazed she doesn't need a guardian... DC is pretty small target.. But maybe before she enlightens us all with AOC science, she should visit the Wiki...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tornadoes_in_Washington,_D.C.

• August 25, 1814: A "most tremendous hurricane" struck the city during the Burning of Washington during the War of 1812. There are few historical accounts of this event, and many sources disagree on the details. Some sources question whether this event was a tornado or a hurricane. However, most agree that it was a true tornado, and some maintain that it was a tornado followed closely by a hurricane. Whatever its nature, the storm tore the roofs from many buildings. Several cannons were thrown through the air by the violent winds. Thirty British soldiers and some residents were buried in the rubble, and several died. Damage to trees also occurred "higher in the country." The British Army left Washington soon after the storm, and heavy rains which accompanied the storm helped extinguish the fires.[4][5][7][8] At least thirty people died.[9]
• September 16, 1888: Around 3:15 pm, an F2 tornado touched down between 9th Street NW and 10th Street NW, and it tracked for 2 miles (3.2 km) along Maryland Avenue.[9] It unroofed two homes, damaged the Botanic Garden, and damaged the roof of the Smithsonian Institution.[5][6] There were no injuries or deaths.[9]
• April 5, 1923: At around 3 p.m.,[10] an F3 tornado touched down in the northern Rock Creek Park, moving northeast into Maryland.[9][11] The tornado tracked for 11 miles (18 km).[9] Twenty people were injured,[9] seven homes were destroyed, and twelve other homes were damaged.[9] There were no deaths.[10][12][13]
• May 14, 1927: An F0 tornado produced minor damage near North Capitol Street and Rhode Island Avenue at 6:00 p.m.[9] The funnel was a landspout, not associated with a severe thunderstorm, as no wind was reported outside of the damage area. A few trees were uprooted or damaged, with structural damage being limited to roof shingles and awnings, as well as a few tombstones knocked over.[5][14] No one was injured, and there was only minor damage.[9]
• November 17, 1927: At 2:25 p.m., an F2 tornado touched down southwest of Alexandria, Virginia.[15] After damaging Alexandria, the tornado crossed the Potomac River and injured several people at the Anacostia Naval Air Station.[15] The tornado crossed the Anacostia River and continued through the Navy Yard.[15] From there, the tornado continued northward up Eighth Street Southeast and then turned a bit to travel north on Fourteenth Street near Lincoln Park.[15] The tornado continued through the neighborhood of Kingman Park, where it demolished several homes.[15] The tornado also damaged several Maryland suburbs, including Hyattsville, Bladensburg, Benning, and Colmar Manor.[15][16][17] The tornado traveled about 15 miles (24 km) in all,[18] including about 3 miles (4.8 km) in the District of Columbia.[9] One person died from being struck by lightning while crossing a bridge; 49 other people were injured and 150 homes were either damaged or destroyed in the District.[19][20] Dozens of families were made homeless from the tornado.[21] The speed of the tornado's winds were estimated to be 125 miles per hour (201 km/h).[15] Saint Cyprian Roman Catholic Church, located near Lincoln Park, sustained serious damage.[15] An airplane hangar at Anacostia Naval Air Station was demolished along with the seven airplanes inside it.[15] The tornado also tore the roof off of barracks at Anacostia Naval Air Station.[22] Property losses were estimated to be $1,000,000.[23]
• May 21, 1943: A waterspout formed over the Potomac River, moving on land near the Jefferson Memorial before dissipating without damaging any structures. Another funnel was also sighted, which may have touched down briefly near the National Naval Medical Center in nearby Bethesda, Maryland.[5][9]
• May 18, 1995: At 1:22 p.m., an F1 tornado uprooted dozens of trees and inflicted $50,000 in damage at the National Arboretum.[5] There were no injuries.[9]
• September 24, 2001: During a series of tornadoes in the Washington region, a weak tornado passed near the Pentagon, crossed the Potomac, and damaged some trees in D.C. before dissipating near the National Mall. Another funnel cloud passed over Union Station, but this one would not touch down as a tornado until it reached the College Park and Beltsville areas of Maryland.[24] Two people died and 57 were injured.[25]
• April 6, 2017: A tornado classified as EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale touched down in southeastern D.C., damaging trees on Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling.[26][27]

Possible tornadoes[edit]

• A tornado, or possibly intense downbursts, struck the city on July 30, 1913 during a heat wave. Substantial damage occurred to some buildings and trees were downed throughout the city, including at The White House.[28]

Like many liberals Occasional-cortex believes that we never had tornados before global warming.

And you are so stupid that you call them liberals.

So, just what is it that you are having a hard time understanding?

I'll go with:
1: The definition of "casual tornado"
2: How they are a new threat to the country

 

[M14 Shooter]

Tornadoes that just drop down for a few minute and cannot maintain itself can cause death if it hits your house
what are the odds
well what are the odds that it kills you

During a tornado outbreak in November of 2018, one person was killed.
The National Weather Service has rated a tornado that hit an Oklahoma community earlier this week, destroying homes and killing at least one person

Let's look at the growing threat of "casual tornadoes"

2018, the US saw 1123 tornadoes. 10 people died.
2017: 1418, 36 dead
2016: 1059; 18
2015: 1178; 36
2014: 928; 47
1984-2013: An average of 75 people per year died in tornadoes.

Tornadoes are weather, not climate. In addition, just because AOC is new to DC does not mean that tornado warnings and watches are new to that area.

Didn't a tornado stop the British forces when they moved into D.C. and burnt the White House? Pretty sure it was a bad storm and "casual" tornado that sent them scurrying. Every now and then with a really bad thunder and lightning storm, a tornado will form. Not the big honkin' ones that hit the midwest, but big enough to look like a bomb dropped when it's over. I've seen them in Connecticut (the one that hit square on the weather station at Bradley Field was a good one--no one knew for hours because the weather reporting station was -- gone) and New York state. The Bronx must be a pretty protected area if both tornado warning AND garbage disposals are a discovery to her.
