Tornadoes in Texas have caused billions of dollars in damage over the last few years. A shift in strong tornado activity would be welcome news for Texans, but not for other states.
that records dating back 70 years show Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska have had stagnant or less strong tornado activity.The big picture:
Overall, the frequency of tornado activity in the U.S. has been declining, and peak tornado activity has shifted to earlier in the spring from late spring and early summer.The eastern part of the country is more densely populated than the traditional tornado alley, elevating the risks to people and property.
More than 50 people died in the past two weeks after severe thunderstorms and tornadoes tore through the South, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.Between the lines: Climate scientists have studied thunderstorms for many years to understand how our warming environment may impact their severity. "Climate change is altering the frequency, the intensity, maybe the location of where these things are happening, but at the same time, humans are increasing our footprint, our cities are growing larger," Gensini says, adding that this would need to be factored into urban planning.
