I think not. Tornadoes are events which are driven by weather patterns...like warm moist air from the Gulf interacts with cool air from the NW. And it has happened many, many times over Oklahoma, and no doubt it will happen many more times...and perhaps the intensity will increase....but forecasters also say the frequency will probably decrease.
OK, I do not have a degree in climate science, but I hope I just have enough science background and common sense to assess the evolving climate situation...and provide you with some informative links:
From Andrew Revkin: A Survival Plan for America's Tornado Danger Zone
And from NASA Earth Observatory: Moore Oklahoma from satellite May 20
And if you want to contribute to Moore's recovery, here are recs from Charity Navigator.
Tornadoes...and Hurricanes, can be SO devastating, we should pay more attention to our options for protecting lives and property. That is something we can do more or less short term.
