Video Description

The Super Tuesday tornado outbreak of February 5, 2008, was a devastating and historic event, unleashing 87 deadly tornadoes across multiple U.S. states. This outbreak not only caused widespread destruction and loss of life but also signalled a troubling trend—tornadoes are becoming more frequent, more intense, and are striking outside their traditional seasons and regions. This video explores how climate patterns like La Niña and the shifting jet stream are reshaping tornado behavior. Learn how cooler winds, intensified wind shear, and rising equatorial temperatures are driving tornadoes into new territories—including northern cities like Chicago, raising urgent questions about preparedness in areas previously considered safe.
