The media is flooding the world with the false claim that a storm such as the one depicted in Art Bell and Whitley Strieber’s The Coming Global Superstorm and the new movie The Day After Tomorrow cannot happen.

175 tornadoes were reported over the weekend. The years 2003 and 2004 have seen a dramatic increase in the number of tornadoes being reported in the US.

This easily broke the old mark of 399, set in June 1992. But May 2004 may break all records for numbers of tornadoes. Global warming models predict dramatic increases in violent weather. An increase in the severity and frequency of tornadoes is consistent with this model.
