I've been reading facts on Wikipedia again, and i'm overcome with the need to terrify non-Americans with the most underrated Terrifying American Thing: TORNADOES

Due to a quirk of mountain and ocean placement, the east-central United States has a higher number of tornadoes (particularly exceptionally strong tornadoes) than any other place on Earth.

And they're so fucking scary oh my God

as in "does the concept of a tornado fill you with fear", NOT "do you live under threat of tornado".

If you're on the fence, ask yourself with you would do if you were suddenly under a tornado watch/warning :3

If you are trying to tell me anything rn, I will not see it, my notifications are just an auto-refreshing deluge of boop chaos (invited; carry on).

This is not April Fool’s or boop-related: we are looking at 80 mph winds, heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes in the northwest of the state tomorrow (fellow Alabamians, have your weather apps and charger cords and hurricane lamps at the ready). I don’t know when it will hit us—I’m in central, so a bit later. If you’re in Huntsville or thereabouts, for sure keep an eye on forecasts.

I say this because when I watched a goddamn tornado go past my house late last year, in a neighborhood where we don’t GET tornadoes, we had no warning. Yes, I am still spooked about that. If you’re in NW AL you probably already know about the incoming weather, but: in case you hadn’t heard.

We’ve got 24 hours’ full notice this time, so we’re bringing in potted plants and battening down the patio furniture. The last Strong Wind Advisory we had blew an iron chair over and tore a seven-foot branch off our cherry tree.

I miss the Diagonal Trees that we had to cut down, but at least I’m not worried about them crashing into my bedroom now.

They will probably call a preemptive state of emergency tomorrow and possibly close schools early (wait, they just did). For us, this could either be nothing, or it could be a power/internet outage . Knock on wood, I’ll check in when I can.

Tornado Alley's Shift Eastward

AccuWeather's assessment of the change in tornado activity between 1950-1984 and 1985-2019

AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok attributed tornadoes becoming more frequent to the east of Tornado Alley due to the lack of moisture in the original Tornado Alley, which can be traced back to the 20-year mega-drought gripping much of the Southwest.

Hey guys! In case you weren't aware, Arkansas was hit by a massive tornado today (3-31-2023). This included areas of Little Rock, Stuttgart, and Wynne.

A picture of the damage to the Wynne high school:

A "before and after" picture from West Little Rock:

And a picture of the tornado in question:

More pics of the damage: (x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

The tornado: (x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

Guys this thing was fucking massive (a 3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale as of 4-2-23, with the possibility of being bumped up an EF4), and it's done so much damage here. One of the news stations, KATV, has partnered with the Red Cross to accept donations for disaster relief. Please consider donating if you can, and if you can't, spread it the link around.

In the interest of full disclosure, it's worth noting that this is nowhere near where I live, and my family was not affected by it. I'm just trying to help out my fellow Arkansans.

Please note that the Red Cross is not a religious organization.

Link for donations

If you show me a receipt or proof of donation, I'll write you something even.

Update I: Added some more pics of the damage + the tornado itself

Update II: NLR electric says that some people could go a week without power (x)

Update III: Here's some information on Red Cross cards and how to use them (x)

Update IV: The storm carried a street sign thirteen miles before dropping it. (x)

Update V: Footage taken from inside the tornado. CW blood. Do not attempt this. Everyone involved survived and nobody was hurt too badly. (x)

Update VI: Added more pictures and text to the post itself, as well as this link to the news broadcast from the day in question. (x)

Update VII:

WE DID IT GUYS

Holy shit everyone thank you so much! I honestly cannot explain how much I appreciate you guys sharing and donating. This means so much to me. If you guys could continue sharing this around (and donating if you can), I'd appreciate it--there are still people who need help. I'll keep reblogging this for the next few days for good measure though.
