What can I say to that but ouch. This is a very early tornado season for us, and looks to get worse as Spring arrives. I'm already looking for a dry cave to move into. lol
Uh-oh. I hear more thunder a rumblin'. Gotta go.
Not necessarily ouch... standard cyclic weather patterns for us here Down under mate...if ya ain't' frying in the heat and fires you are drowning in the floods and torrential rain / storms/ Cyclones...meh Mother Nature at her best! Always said..Australia...beautiful one day ...trying to kill you the next!
Cycles are 50, 20, 11, 8, 2 years. varying degrees of intensity but this one is from about 50 years ago although Weather bureau says only 15 years ago....pretty close really. Nothing to do with global warming or climate change... just El Niño/La Niña-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO
