The Big Wind on June 29, 2012 Empty The Big Wind on June 29, 2012

The Tri-State Tornado that occurred on March 18, 1925, was the deadliest tornado in U.S. history with 695 confirmed fatalities with a one (1) mile wide, 220 mile long path of death and destruction that began in southeastern Missouri and ended in southwestern Indiana.

If that same storm were to have occurred on Friday, June 29, 2012, it would have caused ten (10) times the death and destruction caused by Friday’s Big Wind.

And it would have caused fifty (50) times more problems and hardship for the people because in 1925 electrical transmission infrastructure was as scarce as hen’s teeth and virtually non-existent in all rural areas.

Friday’s Big Wind was an inconvenience, nothing more, and which the effects of the high temperatures were exacerbated by the position of the Jet Stream.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with the claims of CO2 causing AGW.
