This has long been an established truth in the southeast in particular as so often with the dynamics and path of the low pressure systems and cold fronts for the changing of seasons will cause set ups that spur severe weather. It’s not even debatable as far as truth goes. Maybe debatable to someone who is ignorant or dead set on pushing some climate change agenda BS.
Winter outbreaks are not that uncommon. People living in the south know this more than most.
The year before we moved to Memphis, a February outbreak tore through the Hickory Ridge neighborhood. There was a fatality in an office building off Raines Road.

I posted this earlier. Going to repost because I just can’t get over how much destruction happened at such a massive building.
Mayfield Consumer Products (candle factory) before and after tornado strike.
The building was around 120,000 square feet. Workers were in the building when it happened.

My thoughts too. The Earth is 10’s of 1000’s of years old and we’re reading the last page of a book that’s still being written. Basing energy policies off of that is incrediblelu stupid.

Oh my. Wonder if they had ample warning to send people home?

My question is why were there so many people at a candle factory that late at night?
To meet demand for the holiday season?
Is it regularly running 24/7?

Wondering the same.

TWC reported EF3 tornado went through downtown Bowling Green, KY

Read the first few pages and it’s quite impressive the forecasts days ahead of time that something like this was likely happening. It’s very sad that people lost their lives when it was predicted.

Weather channel has a resident of Mayfield saying that lots of people got out of the candle factory. A couple he knows personally.
Family owned a grocery store and says they will rebuild.

Thats all it is.
I never connect a single event like this to climate change but its not just natural.

We have a very small amount of data relative to the age of the earth to make predictions on which is one of many reasons man-made climate change is a scam and people that believe it are idiots.
We have numerous methods to get at the climate record beside just temperature record. Its tiring to see the same old arguments, but not surprising.

Yeah, you just dont know the state of the science.

Postel saying the data he's seeing along with the damage in Mayfield from all the video... he would not be surprised at all if the NWS rates the tornado an EF-5 while it was in Mayfield
ETA: would be the 1st EF-5 in the USA in 8 years

And there wasn’t adequate warning about this by the TWC.
That just not true. They were talking about the severe risk all day yesterday and explaining the severity of their Torcon 7.

Wouldnt be a surprise at all. Ive never seen debris thrown that high (though we have two examples, an EF5 and an EF4 that did, i just never seen the loops) and the gate to gate velocity was elite.
I mean to produce a hail spike by the debris picked up... nauseating
Posted on 12/11/21 at 11:26 am to rt3
Postel saying it may have actually peaked in intensity all the way back at the AR/MO border where the gate-to-gate on radar was >300 mph

A lot of people are extremely frustrated that TWC essentially went off air at midnight eastern (11 PM CST) while that tornado was still causing destruction and several other active warnings were ongoing
The Bowling Green tornado happened completely after TWC went off air

100 people dead at the Candle factory. How terrible.
Has this been confirmed? I would like to know the story of the folks who went to and were in the storm shelter there and were rescued, from the Twitter video, as it relates to those who didn’t make it. Some of these survivors stories should be epic.
