US Drought Brings A Surprise Benefit: No Tornados (cnn.com)
Slashdot reader turkeydance tipped us off to news that America hasn't had a single tornado in November, even though last year it experienced 99, and averages 58 every November. CNN reports:
Drought is overwhelming Southeastern states this fall, and temperatures have soared, depleting ground moisture. Storms need moist air to develop, and the lack of moisture this fall has inhibited storm development both for the much needed rain and the formation of supercell storms capable of producing tornadoes. Precipitation has been near or at zero for weeks in the region. The last measurable day of rain in Birmingham, Alabama, was September 18... As a result, wildfires have become the main disaster threat this fall.
The last five years have all seen a below-average number of tornados, and between 2012 and 2014 the U.S. saw fewer tornadoes than any previous three-year stretch.

You know, maybe you need to take some time off. Go for a walk, take a trip, read a book or unplug from the internet for a while. Not even in the dankest days of Obama being elected the first or second time, were people so rabidly insane. Though this does remind me of Bush Jr., being elected the first and second time...and the people being completely fucking unhinged. Well whatever, if you want to believe what the media keeps feeding you...by all means. It's not like the DNC didn't pick the worst possible candidate, or one with so much baggage that she could have sunk the Titanic on her own. Or that the DNC pissed all over the electorate, broke their own rules, or were involved in so much corruption in their own process that multiple people quit and then went running to the Hillary camp because they were being rewarded for what they did. Or that people were absolutely sick of what Obama and the DNC were doing in the US, or that 70% of Americans believed that the US was going in the wrong direction or anything and picking Trump was the better choice then the corporate candidate who still hasn't given a talk to her supporters or has even said "stop being fucking retards and destroying shit around you." Like they claim Trump is going to.
No no...it's all Trumps fault right?
Om, nomnomnom...
