When will it end? Record snow, record rain, record flooding, record tornado season and record heat: Extreme weather continues to batter the US
Record snow, record rain, record flooding, record tornado season and record heat, 2019 and I’m not talking about the planet, I’m talking about the US.
The record-breaking weather is showing no sign of improving anytime soon as we approach June 2019.
This years tornado season is now officially the 4th worst ever.
Multiple tornadoes ripped through Ohio, blowing houses away, injuring at least seven people, and leaving almost 100,000 people without power.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said the tornadoes hit Dayton, Ohio, and surrounding areas late on Monday, including one that it described as “large and dangerous.”
The tornadoes crossed each other’s paths, creating so much debris that crews turned to snow ploughs to clear the roads on Tuesday morning.
The City of Dayton on Facebook urged people to conserve water because it had lost power to water plants and pump stations. “First Responders are performing search and rescue operations and debris clearing,” it said.
In Celina, a town north of Dayton, the mayor said some areas looked “like a war zone.”
Mayor Jeffrey Hazel told NBC affiliate WDTN: “Some of the houses were completely moved off their foundations and gone.”Two levees topped as Arkansas and Oklahoma prepare for the worst flood in their history.
More rain fell on Tuesday on the Arkansas River, which has already reached levels not seen for decades in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
“The levee system is still operating as designed,” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said Monday, but he added that could quickly change.
“We are asking for everyone to prepare for the worst-case scenario … the worst flood in our history.” Widespread flooding has already occurred along the Arkansas River in parts of eastern Oklahoma and western and central Arkansas.READ MORE http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/05/when-will-it-end-record-snow-record.html

A Minute To Midnite Show Host“This Is Not Normal”: US Suffers More Than 500 Tornadoes In The Last 30 Days
Authored by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,
The mainstream media has been using the term “uncharted territory” to describe the unusual tornado outbreaks that have been happening in the middle of the country, but I don’t think that truly captures the historic nature of what we are witnessing. Over the last 30 days, there have been more than 500 tornadoes in the United States. That is not normal. In fact, Tuesday was the 12th day in a row when at least eight tornadoes were spawned, and that is a new all-time record. Community after community in the Midwest now looks like a “war zone”, and billions upon billions of dollars of damage has already been done. But this crisis is far from over, because forecasters are telling us that more powerful storms will roar through the middle of the country on Wednesday.
Since 1998, there has been an average of 279 tornadoes during the month of May. So the fact that we have had more than 500 over the last 30 days means that we are running way, way above normal…
In the last week alone, the authorities have linked tornadoes to at least seven deaths and scores of injuries. Federal government weather forecasters logged preliminary reports of more than 500 tornadoes in a 30-day period — a rare figure, if the reports are ultimately verified — after the start of the year proved mercifully quiet.
The barrage continued Tuesday night, as towns and cities across the Midwest took shelter from powerful storms. Tornadoes carved a line of devastation from eastern Kansas through Missouri, ripping trees and power lines in Lawrence, Kan., southwest of Kansas City, and pulverizing houses in nearby Linwood.
According to the National Weather Service, there were more than 50 tornadoesover Memorial Day weekend alone, and at this point there have been at least 8 tornadoes in the U.S. for 12 consecutive days…
Tuesday was the 12th consecutive day with at least eight tornado reports, breaking the record, according to Dr. Marsh. The storms have drawn their fuel from two sources: a high-pressure area that pulled the Gulf of Mexico’s warm, moist air into the central United States, where it combined with the effects of a trough trapped over the Rockies, which included strong winds.
The devastation that has been left behind by these storms has been immense. When Dayton assistant fire chief Nicholas Hosford appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America”, he told viewers that in his city there are “homes flattened, entire apartment complexes destroyed, businesses throughout our community where walls have collapsed”.
Countless numbers of Americans have had their lives completely turned upside down, and of course the Midwest has already been reeling from unprecedented flooding in recent months.
