50+ Tornados in December

[Catherine]

I heard that it happened very fast. There would be no way to get an alert out. No one could have reacted fast enough. People who survived must have been lucky enough to be in safe places.  The house split by the tree is a perfect example. If the couple had been in the damaged area they would have been hurt or even killed.  
The idea of winter tornados is scary. That means tornados can happen any time. 
The strange temperature fluctuations are part of a pattern of change that we are seeing. With all the weird weather events and consequences we have had this past year or so, it is hard to deny that the climate is changing. Definitely the effects of the change are catastrophic.
The average global temperature has risen, so yes the globe is warmer.  
When you put it all together it is pretty hard to deny that there is catastrophic climate change due to global warming.

The clean-up will take weeks. Replacing the trees and rebuilding the homes will take years. All that from a 15 minute storm. 
There is no way to prevent this from happening again either.
