Unlikely tornado busts February record
| Quote From Source: | Who would have guessed that a lonely tornado over a southern California oil field would ruin a perfectly good severe weather record? Probably no one. But that is exactly what happened last month.
Up until February 28, not a single tornado had been reported for the month over the entire country. Record-keeping began in 1950, and since then we have never had a tornado-free February. That record stands.
On March 1, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) received and subsequently confirmed, a weak EF0 tornado over an oil field near Bakersfield, California on the afternoon of February 27. So the final tally ends up being one tornado. This is still the lowest number of tornadoes for the month since 1950.

An EF0 near an oil field? That means there was likely no evidence the tornado ever existed. An attempt maybe to cover up the fact that February was tornado free?

Indy not much of a cover up
A dry fart of an EF0 is not going to cover up anything, the truth is that the "Normal outbreaks of tornadoes" that was due on the 8th thru 12th and the second 22nd thru 25th were just too cold along the gulf coast due to the low position of the jet streams probably due to the low solar activity the AGW peeps don't want to mention.
The fronts came through on time the shear was there just not enough heat to produce more than some hail, sleet, freezing rain, and some snow. |
