Here in New England, a tornado was such a rare event that if we had one, it was huge news for months. Now, we are getting several every year, especially Massachusetts and Connecticut where it is more flat, and where the Connecticut River valley seems to funnel winds. In my hometown just north of New Haven, we have had 3 in the last few years, one caused huge damage in one part of town. I never thought, growing up 50 years ago, that we would actually have tornadoes in New England. We're supposed to get hurricanes, and even then, rarely. It feels like something has changed.

Now, we expect the get 1 tornado every year so everytime there's a severe thunderstorm, we always get a EAS of a potential tornado just in case.

You're looking at a localized area. You can't do that when you're talking about something on a big scale such as weather. Leading causes into why "tornados are getting more destructive" is we are building more and more as more people move into the country and more people move into Dixie and Tornado alley (Texas for en example) There were terrible tornados decades ago, they're just wasn't much infrastructure for them to hit. The other factor is main stream media. These things happened a long time ago, it would only spread to local newspapers and only the most major ones would make it out of state. We also have better technology to detect tornados and now opposed to 20 years ago we have a better survey system. The local NWS are required to go out and assess any damage that is likely to be a tornado caused. They don't put it on record if it didn't affect any structures but one again... there are more structures.

@@dillonshrop4563 An aviation pilot I see you are, noice. Anyways, you did make some pretty good points. However, I often try to avoid media and use first hand accounts on what happened in my city. I get most information from my elderly neighbors who live in Ottawa (yes, that's the city I'm taking about) longer than I did. From their experience, Ottawa never had a severe tornado event in their lifetime until recent years. I also notice you made a point where more people are moving into tornado prone areas of the country which makes sense for the increase in tornado destruction. However, it appears you didn't mention anything about how "tornado allay" is shifting over the years. I read some articles about how recent studies seem to show "tornado allay" is shifting eastwards (and possibly getting larger) which means areas that are not prepared for frequent tornado events are going to get hit hard.

Because wood is strong and very cheap compared to concrete or brick. Plus, it's far easier to maintain when you need to work on it. Wood also is more resilient to ground movement. We do have brick homes. But they tend to cost more comparatively. But tornados can and do damage them as well. Brick does crack and it can become very expensive when the thawing and freezing take a toll on it from our winters. So there are pros and cons. The problem is that the U.S. gets extremes when it comes to weather that you won't find in most of the rest of the world. So there is often never one perfect solution.
@hurrdurrmurrgurr10 ай бұрын
Car companies lobbied US state governments to go all in on single family cars as the way of the future so they crisscrossed the country with roads and motorways opening up a lot of previously unused regional areas for development making big homes possible. Two world wars bankrupted Europe allowing American industry to fill the void and when the men came home from the wars baby booms happened. A lot of expanding families with a lot more income, with a lot of land to build houses on meant developers were racing to build as many homes as possible. And that meant balloon frame lumber houses rather than the brick and heavy timber homes seen in earlier generations. The market is certainly not what it was post WW2 but Americans still expect big houses at a reasonable cost and that means a continuation of these flimsy houses.

2:46, the graph clearly shows hurricane causing more damage than tornadoes. Why are we fixated on 7B when hurricane caused 33B in damages. I feel like there really isn't much you can do about tornadoes but we can do more to lessen the damage caused by hurricane. Edit: grammar

Yes, we know how to build resilient structures. The problem is affordability. Not everyone can afford to buy a nice single-family suburban home with a garage. So to speak of replacing the garage door with a wind-resistant door is already knocking a lot of people out of the running. People who live in apartments. In mobile home parks. But we are left out of the equation. It's as if those people who live in substandard housing, well, it sucks to be you, but that's your fault for not making enough money to buy a better house. And if you live in a mobile home park, boy oh boy are you ever looked down upon. People who are relatively well off don't know what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone who is struggling just to keep a roof (any roof) over their head. This is a problem I think will get worse. Hate to say it but Mother Nature sure seems to have it out for poor folks. Maybe Her way of thinning the ranks?

We could build better homes for less money, but the corporations don't like that. The way we build is crap. I'm a 40+ year carpenter, but I can't change the industry, or what people think they want. I try to give people better construction, but if it's not what they see in advertising, they don't want it.

I'm also too stingey to waste my money on a house. I've lived most of my life under tarps or in busses and vans. I refuse to borrow money and spend my life being a slave to debt. If my "house" gets blown away, I can build a new one in a day for under $100. Funny, I work for millionaires to make their investment impressive, while I live in a bus or a tarp-tent. My clients gross me out.

It's been more than a decade since the last EF5 so I would say no, they are not getting more destructive.
@camwatlington10 ай бұрын
This is true, but it would be interesting to know the average rating of tornadoes over that time. Also, the EF scale measures the kinds of damage to determine wind speed ranges, it doesn’t necessarily mean the tornado was more or less costly. The video should have been titled “Tornado Disasters Are Getting More Expensive”. They instead chose to go the sensationalist route by claiming tornadoes themselves are becoming more intense. There is also the fact that the scrutiny of handing out the EF5 rating has increased quite a bit since 2013, which is evidenced by the fact that some weather enthusiasts and experts alike often disagree on EF4 ratings given in the last couple of years. All of this to say CNBC could have been more deliberate in naming the video more accurately.

"More Destructive" and then they clearly explain why.

There is something about the voice of the reporter that do not feels right, it is so nice and cute but at the same time i can not disconnect it from the fact that the video is about a serious matter, people that dies and some other that loose everything. Honestly something seems out of place, for me.

Why aren't the insurance companies making it cheaper for people to build better? The insurance companies already implement costs back to the government and constantly challenge the government on codes and they (insurance companies) are the ones who dictate the codes. It would be very simple for them to give "heavy discounts" to people who build to "their code (insurance companies code) or better". And watching this video, it seems to implicate that older homes are more likely to be damaged by a tornado. That's a split truth, older homes are often crowded by newer homes that have complicated roof designs (causes wind turbulence) and choke out the trees (or remove them all together) which provides soil stability and structural stability. This video shows nothing more than a one sided, simplistic view into something that is a very big issue. Also, insurance companies didn't really exist more than 100years ago (except to an elite portion of people).

Do insurance companies set the wages of carpenters or the prices of materials?
@zeh.rooster10 ай бұрын
@@chickenfishhybrid44 in a round about way, they kind of do. When they accept or deny builds/repairs that they deem to be either over/under specific price ranges, it affects what the builders are willing to pay themselves or staff. When insurance companies lobby for code changes to include a specific product, from a specific manufacturer, it drives the cost of that product up due to supply/demand issues. (And usually when they implement such changes, people need retraining to use that specific product in the proper fashion, again driving up wages, either due to paying for training or having to pay more for people with the training)
