“I’m a tornado climatologist, and it is not unusual for people to ask me after a spate of storms like the ones that ripped through the center of the country on Friday whether climate change has anything to do with it,” says @JBElsner. “It’s complicated.”

Presumably someone's still waiting for the Japanese to attack Hawaii again from the northwest without radio contact.
Black Swans are by definition unpredictable, or if not quite a Black Swan but a statistical outlier, it still doesn't much matter - we can't in general live our lives preparing 100% for things that almost never happen. Sure, the easy fixes can help - meaning involving little money, time or logistics/disruption of workflow. Otherwise, we try to do warnings and that's it.

In reply to MYTH BUST: Tornadoes can, in

and here's another thread with a similarly aggravated lady to the last:

I replied to someone's comment about hurricane and tornado forecasting and quoted the article they shared. You know damn well workers in St. Louis or Madison County aren't generally sent home for tornado warnings. We don't have to like that, but it's the truth. Get over yourself.

This is truth: midwest tornado watches and warnings are so frequent in summer and fall it becomes a "cry wolf" thing; either nothing happens or it doesn't come anywhere near you. Unless the radio warns at the last minute you are directly in the path - which you do listen for and in which case you run like hell to shelter - if you took every watch and warning as a serious risk, you'd be spending a heckuva lot of time in shelter for no reason. Serious hits are just not that predictable and very rarely such a wide path of destruction. It's usually a very low risk crap shoot and those few who bet wrong lose. And in December? "No way, never" is what most people probably thought.

MYTH BUST: Tornadoes can, in fact, cross a river. And keep going. And then cross a river again. And keep going. Rivers do not protect you from tornadoes.

Crazy Weather!! Tornado in Arkansas and near St. Louis, Missouri - USA! ... https://t.co/zBJfDyWsVO via @YouTube
Friday night 9 tornadoes ripped through five states, including mine. One of them hit 10 miles from my house so I just try to be grateful every day. We were lucky.

I live in Arkansas and basements aren't much of a thing even though we get hit by tornadoes. A lot of people have storm shelters though. Also, my cousin was in St. Louis preforming The Nutcracker and they stopped the show twice bc tornado sirens.

re: on thread about the Amazon warehouse

Like I have said a million times already today: not a single warning went out until the radar had the system right on top of us. I live right down the road from this, I got the same amount of warning as they did, which was hardly any at all.

Ok, so, I’m going to say both of these things very slowly, so you can understand how this all happened. One, we got very little warning of the tornado, possibly because the NWS office in St Louis had to shelter because of a tornado.
— christina @ destiny 2 lore hurt me (@_jetpackbluess_) December 12, 2021

Two, the tornado itself *formed directly on top of the warehouse*. Now, combine that with the minimal warning and you have a complete recipe for disaster. You can risk management all you want, but when it comes to tornadoes, it can end up being a crapshoot.
