Freak tornado kills three, causes havoc in Auckland

Geez! I guess it just proves that when your time your time is up, your time is up! RIP Kiwi amigos

As we had a town wiped off the map here a few years ago by a tornado, my sympathies

repeat after me, in unison:

climate change is a myth

climate change is a myth

climate change is a myth

Off topic. Read the last three paragraphs.

not obviously tied to trends in the large-scale climate

These types of freak events have been noted with increasing incidence in recent years, and many attribute that to climate change.

If there were "obvious" proof, I'm afraid that the situation would be much, much worse.

The system has more energy (heat) and more matter (moisture), that is a combination that increases entropy and spurs such events with higher frequency than normal.
