This is climate change at its finest. This will continue to happen due to climate change.
Long track tornadoes like this are not supposed to happen, let alone in December.
An out of season tornado that had several tornado emergency warnings out for it; something that has been issued less than 200 times by the NWS previous to 12/10/21; let alone a full outbreak in the middle of December.
This overtakes the Tri-State tornado of 1925 in both distance travelled and number of states covered. It has not been officially rated yet, but immediate speculations upon seeing the damage put it at EF4-EF5 in the worst hit areas.
The supercell thunderstorm this tornado was generated by lasted 11 hours.
the effects of this were made worse by capitalist efficiency and top-down control. Capitalism requires ecological destruction, resulting in destabilizing natural cycles. It also rewards maximum extraction of labor (having workers work as long as possible). It also gives an owner near total control of someone’s life.
This two pronged destruction resulted in an unnatural storm that workers were forced to stay in. Climate change is here and will worsen for lifetimes now, and capitalists will grow more powerful from forcing their workers to die through the disasters they caused. It must be restricted in any and all ways possible if people are going to survive the collapse capitalism has already caused.
this same heat system is now causing even more tornadoes, storms, and wind damage a few days later
Minneapolis should not be under a tornado watch in December. It’s not supposed to be almost 70 degrees in December. There’s no recorded tornado in the history of Minnesota, per NWS.
These storms are unusually destructive, happening horribly close together, and are way out of season. I’m feeling my home suffer.
Climate change will kill us if we allow capitalism to do so. We have no choice but to follow indigenous land stewardship and radically change our ways of life and social relations to survive the climate change european colonialism is causing.
