Here's an article published March 1, 2011 at Weblog's 2011 science blog of the the year Watts Up With That?. 

A distinction they could have never earned prior to "Climategate".

That last part was an editorial comment.

Big-Time La Nina Tornado and Spring Flood Season Possible?

By Joseph D’Aleo, CCM, AMS Fellow

 

Tornado season kicks off in February most years, and yesterday’s storm had tornadoes, and other severe weather and with heavy rains after a snowy winter, major flooding. The tornado seasons tend to be more severe in La Ninas with larger outbreaks and stronger tornadoes.

 

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, because the original photo that appears with the above post at Watt's Up With That? is a bit long and skinny for the format we use here, we went out looking for a different tornado photo to use as substitute.

So we googled for an image search of tornadoes, and got this.

Now, if you click the photo above, it will as usual link you up with the story about La Nina and El Nino weather patterns at Watts Up With That?.

But if you click it at the page that results from the google image search, you get this, Mother Nature Network's list of the top ten tornado videos of all time of which the following vid is number three.

 

 

Thanks to Kenneth S. over at our facebook page for the idea,

Hopefully, that'll do it for the tornadoes for a good long while.
