I often have dreams of tornadoes. Some are just mild rotation that never develops into a fully developed cloud to ground tornado while others are well established and intense. In real life we are not particularly bad around here when it comes to tornadoes. I can only remember a couple of < EF1 twisters that touched down briefly a mile or so away and did very little damage except for the usual downed trees, downed wires, etc. The last few seasons have brought surprisingly very little in the way of thunderstorm activity to my immediate area. In fact the absence of thunderstorms round here these past few seasons has been kind of unusual. Seems these days most thunderstorm activity is mostly well to our north. In fact over the past 2 years I've seen more lightning and heard more thunder in the winter than in the spring-summer. Climate change ? Maybe ? maybe not ?
