As if the last go around wasn't enough

A destructive, dangerous and historic December day is ahead for Wednesday, with all weather hazards possible including strong and long-track tornadoes, high winds and explosive wildfires.

Approximately 100 million people were under some kind of weather alert stretching from the West Coast to the Great Lakes.

On Wednesday morning, 9 million people were under the risk for severe storms across portions of the central Plains and Upper Midwest. The main risks were anticipated to be damaging winds in excess of 75 mph, followed by the threat for long-track and strong tornadoes.

Two factors compound the danger level: storms after dark and the forward speed of the storms.

For cities like Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa; and Minneapolis, the storms were expected to arrive after sunset. Nocturnal tornadoes are more than twice as likely to cause fatalities.

On top of that, the storms are expected to be moving as fast as 80 mph. That means people in the path should prepare now because the storms will approach fast.

Global warming/CC. The deniers claim right to screw things up for everyone, like virus science deniers.

They don't have right that imperial me, and should be eliminated from the gene pool when they overstep.
