Tornado in Los Angeles

I'm surprised no one on ATS is running with this news. Didn't "Day After Tomorrow" show a tornado in LA as evidence of climate change? True, the MSM is totally downplaying the importance of this 'weather anomaly' and points out that while tornadoes are rare in California, they are not impossible. Still...

What say you ATS?


Tornado rips through Los Angeles

While not as common as we see out east, California has seen hundreds of tornadoes over the past six decades

We actually get at least a funnel cloud or two per year there
abouts. Lately at least one touches down seems like every year.
Never a real badass twister tho. I think one ripped
a metal awning apart a couple years ago. You just don't hear of
'em cause they're rather weak and not a big event out here.
Rarely any damage.

How is a tornado in LA as evidence of climate change?
Seems like a drastic conclusion to me

It was a movie. And a really bad one.

California got hit by a storm. The "tornado" was part of that storm. The world is warming but a "pineapple express" event is not a sign of it.

I always thought the conditions in So. Cal would be considered
hospitable to twisters at least once in awhile. Often times the
Santa Anas blow warm air offshore. When arctic air comes down
and collides with the wind off the desert? I think that'll work.

I saw that the other day! Wow! Growing up in Los Angeles, I never heard of such a thing, and it never entered my mind it could happen. Left my mind blown.

I used to visit LA every summer as a kid, and lived there for 9 yrs as a young adult, and as I recall, there was never a tornado. Definitely, the time of strange weather is upon us but this is just the early stages.

Any sharks sighted in that tornado???

Just askin!

As the ocean currents change due to global warming; we are in for global weather changes that will have people exclaiming
"why didn't you warn us"


well.....

The whole storm system was an anomaly, of late.

Welcome respite from the drought we were all drying up in. North and South California welcomed it.

Need more of same.

Hmmmmm as an LA resident I wonder what's next? And here is the video from the Day After Tomorrow showing the tornado in LA.

I live in northern California...they are not that rare, they have been happening every year for a while...but, ours are nothing like the monsters they get in the Midwest, ours are limited to damaged buildings, in the Midwest, entire blocks of houses, along a wide swath, are obliterated into broken piles of debris

I was just talking earlier today to someone about how the weather is really weird. I didn't know about the tornado is Los Angeles. But I'm in Ohio and man... Last year I thought I was going to freeze to death it was so cold. This year winter has felt like end of summer/fall weather.


If that doesn't show somethings up, I don't know what will. Growing up, I remember having snow every winter, and it being cold... Every winter. Now the weather is all over the place.


And you know what? That evidence isn't enough proof to convince people that something is wrong. People who don't want to believe something is wrong, won't acknowledge when something is wrong.

I've heard that we need about 7 or 8 more just like it to catch up. a lot of this nations food is grown here, so if we don't have enough water, prices on fruits and veggies will be rising in your local grocery.

Evidence does not a conclusion make.

Water spouts (small over water tornados) are not uncomon that occasionally come on land. But these are small and short lived. Very entertaining though.

Ef0 hardly comparable.

Dam, that movie 'day after tomorrow" really has brainwashing people.. .. . lol

Don't believe ANYTHING from movies or internet until you see your own eyes.

Yes, I find tornado in L.A. a bit puzzling though. .. ...
