It seems like there's a weather disaster every week

Weather is always a surprise, but you have a commander in chief who wants it that way in denial. Poliics and divisions do sadly matter.

I'd try to find all your ways to enjoy a storm forecast though. Why not feel your heart skip a beat from a roar of thunder?

It is very scary. What bothers me is the flood location is one of the most well known areas for flash floods and they do not have an early warning system - no telephone text messages, tv and radio alerts, nothing. The person leading the search and rescue effort admitted this. Why???

Idk about the USA but the weather and its consequences in Europe didn't use to be this extreme. There have always been floods and wildfires but before it used to happen in expected areas. Rhodes and Crete used to be safe vacation places. They aren't anymore. I don't know why because I think there were conditions for wildfires there before but maybe there weren't so many careless morons or something.

I remember seeing hailstorms as a kid but never heard about hailstorms that would manage to damage cars and house roofs across the city. Now it's a potential threat every summer.

I think there's more severe weather in the past few years due to climate change. This is my personal opinion at least.

When you spray the skies, have dangerous cell phone towers and EMF radiation everywhere, tons of plastics in the oceans, landfills filling up with electric batteries, solar panels, windmill blades and when you want to cut down millions of trees you may have a problem. But then again we are in a very turbulent solar cycle and thus is the main driver of our environment.

You can always blame it on cow flatulence and humans. According to leftist politicians we need to eliminate both.

“We can solve the problem easily by paying leftist politicians and carbon credits, that’s worked well so far.?” :)

Weather surprises were far worse in the days we didn’t have the national weather service with their state of the art forecasting tools. But today we spend more time marketing the toll or potential toll that weather has or might have on society.

yeah and now we're headed into hurricane season - yikes

There was a bad hail storm in Binghamton NY on Wednesday

No, it hasn't always been like this, CLIMATE CHANGE! And now the funding to provide accurate weather forecasting has been limited because DOGE and the radical right think it is better to give the uber rich tax breaks!

Unpredictable extreme weather events will only get more and more common as we plunge into the inevitable demise we've built for ourselves.

And of impending wars. I sometimes feel sorry for my grandchildren having to face what they have to look forward to from megalomaniacs like Putin and Trump who lie llf its in their short-term interest.

We as humans build & destroy nature in the name pf progress so it'll keep getting worse

No it wasn't. It's climate change. But the MAGAts firmly believe that it's a Chinese hoax because Trump said so.

For those who don't believe in global warming, get used to it

yes, you just have numerous sources that didnt exist a short time ago, now flooding you with opinion and headlines

That and there is nowhere safe from them anymore either. ☹
