Is it me, or have tornadoes been exceptionally destructive the past few years?

I know we tend to have streak of bad years, but I don't really so many twisters spending so much time on the ground and causing so much death/destruction in a relatively span span of years.

1. Sure seems like it. And maybe it's just me, but people are a lot less likely to mention

gods having a hand in the whole thing (remembering Wolf Blitzer interviewing tornado survivors and was so used to everyone thanking the Lord that he automatically asked a woman if she thanked the Lord but she was an atheist and they giggled).

All these fires, floods, tornados, hurricanes, storms, heat waves are so common now, the Lord would be awfully busy deciding who was going to live or die.

2. Climate studies show more tornadoes in the South due to warming

With no decrease in the Midwest and also more powerful supercells. So, stronger tornadoes are affecting a wider region. It's not just you.

3. I read that as tomatoes instead of tornadoes .

Visions of destructive tomatoes damaging everything they touch. Climate change is making them more acidic.

4. It's not you, it is global warming. Expect them more frequently, bigger, and longer lasting.

5. It's a sign of the coming End Times

These acts of god not only express his wrath, but also prepare the way for the Antichrist

P.S. I've noticed that most of these storms strike areas heavily-populated by MAGATs

6. A google search will show you some very violent tornadoes way back in the early 20th century.

And a few in the 19th.
