TheMaximumHornetSting Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Georgia has officially Doubled out Oklahoma and Texas... As the tornado leader. Recently Georgia Tech conducted a study. They thought maybe Tornado alley was expanding but it turns out its far worse than that. Georgia has become a hot bed... No one knows exactly why but Georgia Humidity has been hitting all time highs during times it shouldnt be... These are the areas that have been hit the hardest and are prone to the most tornadic activity in the state #1: Coastal GA: Savannah-Chatham County- Swampland Humidity and Air colliding with storms rolling off the ocean can be a very chilling experience... it makes for some very dangerous conditions.-Red Zone Camden County Brunswick-Glynn County. #2 Southwest GA: Red Zones-These are counties that have recorded Tornadic Activity higher than the state average. Colquitt County Tift County Lowndes County Cook County Doughtery County Seminole County Lee County Turner County Worth County Sumter County Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 For one thing Southwest GA has the perfect conditions for Tornadoes. A mixture of Gulf winds and Swampland humidity. And its always warm and mucky.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean in winter? Seems more people would be concerned with the increase in tornadoes bc of the increased cost associated with it. Not to mention the loss of life. Are we talking about climate change or a natural shift of some kind? Seems every year out west, be it winter or summer, we never know what were going to get. I haven't seen normal weather patterns like the ones I remember growing up in a long time. The farmer's almanac does fairly well but not as well as they use to. Imho.

The thing out here is Normally Winter is cold. But the past 5-10 years the weather has been shifting . Lets take 2016 for example in December the average temp for GA was 91 degrees... It was 91 degrees on Christmas day the day after there was a Statewide Tornado Outbreak. Then we had another 2 in March 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get hail (especially on a warm day) that's the first sign to look for them.

You can get cones all the time, but to me it's really neat if they hit the water and start pumping spray. Most people don't ever stay out in that weather so they don't see it... The Stand was only a Woodframe (not like a building or some Baywatch thing), but I only found one piece of it after it got hit (like it literaly just sucked in with no debris) and that was a splinterd 2ft 2X4 that was brought back to HQ to frame...aonther local lore (in the heights) is a melted ma-bell type stand phone they used to string on the stands from the boardwalk that is half melted after being struck by lightning Park HQ that got taken out by Sandy......Guarded in Seaside NJ for years, I was in the park (south side) and worked the surfing beach mostly (to get paid for it haha) That's a while back tho. Most people think Sandy they think of the 'Star Jet' Rollercoaster pic and think of Seaside Heights and Casino, while the Park and Funtown home of the real 'Star Jet' (red coaster loop in left center ) were Waaay worse off from the hit. ....nothing left of the pier and boardwalk at the end of my street.. For the last time CNN and Google fake news....This was the 'Jet Star' at Casino Pier ('Star Jet' was Funtown LOL ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very scary. They show a few in the news now and again, cause AC has alot of camera's and can get some real nice camera shots...the clips I've seen from those AC ones look alot bigger, and like the rare ones you see out at Sea here...not these smaller whisps and spouts. They (meaning AC's) are coming off the mainland though....Two miles out has it's own crazy micro-weather.. You can sit on the bay side and watch all these storms every day in the summer hit 'the bay wall' and get busted up or pushed back. Check Toms River and Seaside's Rain totals...it can pop rain in TR any day in the summer from the heat, where as Seaside is a desert by comparison... Many day's guards have been seen doing indian rain dances as cheerleaders for that black line that never makes it out to cool everyone off...

Haha after writing that I looked back at the pick.... Look close...even in late fall/early winter you can see the bay 'line up' and 'bust up' the west to east shift....and the difference in height of the thunder line the further in you go mainland... Figure's anytime you try and take a pic....raining in TR, yet cameras somehow still dry in seaside LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
