Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Mike, I think stress in our society is one of the biggest factors.

Its a campaign to hold meteorologists accountable on climate change. It starts by calling on the American Meteorological Society to issue a strong statement on climate change
Yes, I have seen it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a coordinated campaign by a couple of activists. It petered out over the weekend when the AMS refused to give in to their demands.
Well then...kudos AMS!

Poet: Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
ReplyDeleteCommenters: Please no more global warming comments in this tread. It is off-topic. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting thing to look up on Google is the "Obesity Paradox". Many studies show that mortality decreases with higher BMIs. It places into question many commonly held "truths".
