"Extreme Weather"

I see the insane members of the "AGW" crowd come on here and spout asinine nonsense every time there is a severe thunderstorm.

Here is a link to over more than 100 deadly fatal tornado outbreaks from the mid 1860's to the present. Including the deadliest in US history which was the Tri-State tornado outbreak of March 18, 1925, which was rare for the large number of F3-F5 tornadoes in which 695 people were killed. So who do I need to send my money to?

Weather is different than climate. Death tolls have gone down, while costs from damages have increased.
These aren't simple cause and effect analyses.

Hmmmmmm. That wouldn't have anything to do with the cost of everything going up would it?

Or improvements to infrastructure coupled with more dense populations?
Seems we have sacrificed things to save lives. Most people will say that's a good thing.

My exact point. Deaths decrease because warning systems are much better.
You can't just look at the raw stats without understanding the context.

Sometimes observations of weather are subject to human error. For example, yesterday the 3B umpire in LSU v. NSU baseball game said he saw lightening in the distance and called the game after only 6 innings.
What he actually saw was the score board lights:
LSU 27 NSU 0.

Unless it's healthcare.
