[I promised y'all an "I told ya so" post and here it is.]

WHAT DID I TELL Y'ALL?!

AND WHAT HAPPENED? THIS ->

I specifically mentioned Owasso Oklahoma:

"I'm not going to be surprised if Owasso is ripped off the map. I'm not going to be surprised if that one Senator has to deal with funeral after funeral and a state of emergency for the rest of his term."

Additionally 2024 is in 3rd 2ND place for tornado activity. From 1950-today there were only two other years with more twisters: 2011 and was only ONE other year with more twisters: 2004.

Maps show how "Tornado Alley" has shifted in the U.S.

"Tornado Alley" used to refer to the central Plains region, but research shows new areas of the Midwest and Southeast now face a greater thr

There's growing evidence that "Tornado Alley," the area of the United States most susceptible to tornadoes, is shifting eastwards, according to a recent study looking at tornado formation patterns. 

"Tornado Alley" is a shorthand term that has typically described the central Plains region of the United States, but according to the study, published in April in the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, parts of the eastern U.S. now face the "greatest tornado threat." Tornado activity is now much more likely to impact the Midwest and Southeast, the study said. 

The shift has been ongoing since 1951, according to the study, which used information from two different datasets, each spanning 35 years, to determine where and when tornadoes have been forming. The study looked at tornadoes rated F/EF1 or stronger. (A tornado is considered EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale if its wind gusts are estimated at 86-110 mph, based on the amount of damage. The scale runs from EF0 up to EF5 for the most damaging twisters.)

Maps of patterns of tornadogenesis, or the process by which a tornado forms, show that between 1951 and 1985, tornado formation peaked in northern Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
