Since every time I post on this topic, I get responses from readers saying, "It is not peer-reviewed" (even though they have been), here is the entire abstract from the journal "Nature Climate Change." There is absolutely no indication that hurricanes have gotten worse with earth's warmer temperatures. Below is the peer-reviewed ACE Index which measures both hurricane duration and intensity.  The ACE Index starts when we first had global weather satellite coverage.  Those telling you that tornadoes and hurricanes have gotten worse in our warmer climate are, at best, wrong. More likely, they are deliberately lying to make global warming seem worse than it is. 

We've added a number of my photographs to the collections in the last week, so I thought you might enjoy taking a look at our stock photography.The collection at Adobe Stock Photography (small sample is below) is more focused on weather and nature.  Shutterstock seems to prefer a bit more business and location photography.  Hope you enjoy looking perusing my photography and you will consider us whenever you need stock photography. 

The Dominator is an armored vehicle designed to withstand being inside a tornado. They made a skilled intercept in Nebraska last week. They have edited the video from several angles (drone, etc.) and put it together. I know some of our readers will enjoy viewing it so.... here you go!

The area outlined has a "high" risk of thunderstorm wind gusts of 60 mph or stronger. There is also a chance of "a tornado or two." The newer severe thunderstorm watch (below) includes the possibility of a "tornado or two," along with 70 mph winds and 1.5 inch diameter hail.  Please keep up on the weather view trusted local sources if you live in these areas. 

The orange area has a significant risk of tornadoes and an enhanced risk of large hail today. Please put your car indoors along with any lawn furniture that can be blown about. If a tornado warning  is issued go to your basement if you have one. Otherwise, go to the lowest floor of your house and get in a closet or bath in the middle of the home. 

Photo by Jaime Green On May 22, 2011, Joplin was struck by an EF-5 intensity starting at 5:41pm. Unlike most tornadoes in the central United States, this tornado was "rain-wrapped" and thus invisible. The photo above happened to capture the tornado during a split-second "power flash" when the tornado caused electrical wires to spark. A few moments later, the tornado moved over Jaime's location. Below is what it looked like on approach. It was completely invisible along its path.  So, since the people of Joplin could not see the tornado, their only hope was the tornado warnings issued by the National Weather Service (and the downstream warning system including sirens, radio and television). Unfortunately, the NWS's warnings were of very poor quality and the siren activation misled everyone. As a result, one hundred sixty-one people were killed in, by far, the worst single tornado death toll of the warning era (64 years). I tell the story in my book, When the ...
