Yesterday in San Fransisco, California, they experienced their first tornado and warning ever—in the history of tracking weather. As someone who has lived in Tornado Alley their entire life, I found a few things about this incident odd—mainly the interviews with bystanders who spoke about the sound. Here in Texas, we know that a tornado sounds like a train headed straight toward you.
When they heard that sound in San Francisco, they thought it was an earthquake. They never even considered that a tornado could be in their backyard.
This time, it was a little, baby tornado (EF1), but it appears that our climate crisis will bring tornados to California. And the next time, it might not be a baby tornado.
According to ABC, America has just experienced its warmest autumn on record.
But we all know we’re in a climate crisis, which is causing more extreme weather events.
