This is the best explanation of the eastward shift in tornadoes I’ve seen yet. Most explanations are just the all encompassing“climate change.” Could CC affect drought conditions? Perhaps, but drought is more specific and makes the most sense. This cycle was also observed by Dr Fujita in the mid 70s as a shift that occurs every decade or so with little understanding as to why.

All we can say from out here on the Texas South Plains is hallelujah!

Starting in the Pacifiv Northwest? Not likely. I live in British Columbia, Canada. We would be part of the northern tornado valley. Nope. Our last one was an EF-0 stat started on the Straight of Georgia, and moved onto the golf lands of the University of British Columbia. It desimated before it reached the city of Vancouver. The main damage was to trees and tree parts smashed into parked cars. No injuries. We are still not part of a developing tornado alley, thankfully. We have subjunctive earthquakes to worry about.

Dixie valley always been there always had tornadoes like tornado alley… it’s not shifting east… Indiana Ohio and Illinois have a tornado alley too called Hoosier valley

Arizona people never get any interesting weather/ natural disasters 🙄
