What about solar flares and the appearance of tornadoes?

What about the influence of the moon on the appearance of tornadoes?

What about geomagnetic storms/geomagnetic fluctuations and the appearance of tornadoes?

What about the billions of tax dollars given to you and your apparent inability to predict any appearance of tornadoes?

Not Driving Through the Heartland, Yet.

For several days if not longer, my tornado-prediction model has been suggesting the possibility of tornadic storms appearing in the Heartland of the Nation.  These on-going predictions from my model seem to have been confirmed with the continued appearance of tornadoes throughout much of the Nation’s interior. 

My condolences to those afflicted and injured thereby, of course.

However, given the seemingly never-ending and unfavorable predictions from my model of late, I am delaying my planned travels through the Heartland and on to the East Coast –  as I typically traverse from SoCal to New Jersey and New England, of which I sometimes chronicle on another blog.  (See:  The Ultimate Road Trip: Driving Across America C2C, located at: http://theultimateroadtripamericac2c.blogspot.com/ .)

Not Wanting to 'Cry Wolf'

 

My tornado prediction model seemed to be inspiring me to blog a couple few days or so ago.  Because, I have not been able to hear any saints singing or the like for several days.  Such is usually an indicator of the likelihood of tornadic activity for the Heartland – at least according to my model.  But, for whatever reason, I felt as though I might appear to be unnecessarily ‘crying wolf.’  My sympathy and condolences to those afflicted by the recent storms.

Even Lower than the Higher Low

 

December 21, 2023

Tonight, I cannot hear the saints or the angels singing.  Not even negligibly.  And, as I should have blogged a couple of weeks ago during a similar event to which tornadoes seemed subsequently to appear in the mid-eastern portion of the Heartland, I make this brief blog entry about it all now.  

Potentially of more specific interest than the current lack of any singing to be heard, at this time, two significant weather systems seem stacked longitudinally on top of one another, here out-west.    Of course, local events always seemed to have effect on the issue – albeit as yet unquantifiable. 

However and consequently, the next few days could prove to be of interest to my still unrebuked model to predict the appearance tornadoes appearing in the Nation’s Heartland.

Oddities to Delay My Journey

 

Tonight, was an odd evening.  Maybe it was merely the passing storm.  However, I heard combinations which I don’t recall hearing before.  At the better listening spot, SB was clear across the middle.  But SD was nowhere to be found on the low end - regardless of the specific location. 

Again, I don’t recall hearing such combinations before.  So, I’m not sure how to properly interpret it all. 

Nevertheless, I should heed to my model and delay my roadtrip a day or so.  I don’t see any harm that can come from waiting another day or two to head east.
