[NOTE: The Associated Press just issued a short video centered on amazing images of recent “supercell” storms, which have spawned many extremely destructive tornadoes in the southern midsection of the U. S.
The video argues that these supercell storms are fed by global warming, and are likely to increase in number and expand their paths and reach.
This is hardly a new story, but the vivid images from it featured below underline it. They’re offered here as visual food for thought, urgent thought, and preparation for meaningful responses.]

North Dakota supercell
The storms are expanding their reach and intensity
Their damage and death tolls are increasing
The shadow of climate change is darkening our horizon
What shall we do?
You know, I’m all for the South breaking away from the US. When that happens, their own FEMA (with their own tax dollars) will have to clean up the mess. Pretty hard hearted of me. But most of the storm damages my tax dollars pay for us down there.
