Seismic shifts in weather patterns have shifted the crosshairs of dangerous tornadoes from the Midwest to the southeast. The discovery of this disturbing trend comes on the heels of scientific analysis that indicates most deaths as a result of tornadic activity now occur in the south. So, what does this mean exactly? Mother Nature has…

An earthquake is one of earth’s most powerful and disruptive forces. It can destroy bridges and buildings, start week-long fires, and totally shift the geography of affected areas. Those who live in areas across California know this all to well, as they are under the constant threat of destructive tremors. However, new findings may create an even…
As weather patterns have begun to change over recent years due to rising global temperatures, it seems that our climate has become more violent and unpredictable. Hurricanes, floods, droughts, and blizzards have all been affected by the increase of heat energy in the atmosphere. Tornadoes are even becoming more frequent and severe. Tornadoes hit Louisiana,…
In early November, the NOAA announced that a La Niña phenomenon had arrived in the Pacific Ocean.
