You can’t stop Mother Nature, completely agree, but the road to complete disaster is 100 miles long, would you rather go full throttle down that road and hit disaster really soon, or tap the brakes and travel slower, giving people, scientists, businesses a chance to make that road longer through new research and inventions? Tapping the brakes is like doing what we can now to ease the rate of climate change.

I blame the alert system for this shit. I live in Mississippi and they will sound the alarm for nearly anything in your county. The weather men act like any storm is the end of the world. After going through it like 100 times you stop caring and just ignore it. They need to stop overreacting to any storm and only do alerts when actually threats are going to happen.

For instance my tornado siren will go off if their is literally any detection of debress in the air in any part of my county. So I will get alert for a false alarm like 50 miles away. That shit is getting people killed because no one takes the siren serious now.

Experts actually say there are four different tornado alleys. Dixie alley is the one in the south and The most deadly by strength of storm due to nighttime tornados being much more common.

Two different ones in the great plains That make up the traditional tornado alley and then a 4th one across the rust belt south of the great lakes to the appalachians.
