Blow Job

A cold front blew through the North Country July 8. We had clouds on and off but no rain in North Puffin; it did spawn a tornado in Syracuse that killed four.

“There is a pattern of extreme weather that is different,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a nod to Global Warming. “We don’t get tornadoes in New York. Anyone will tell you that. Well, we do now, and this new normal of extreme weather is a challenge for government, it’s a challenge for first responders and it’s a challenge for every citizen in this state.”

Huh. No tornadoes?

The 2007 Brooklyn tornado, an EF-2, was the strongest tornado on record to strike in New York City. Albany County has had six since 1973 and none since 1998. Cattaraugus County had 15 between 1961 and 2010. Essex County has had three, in 1952, 1958, and 1978. Then there was the 1900 Westchester County tornado and the 1904 Chappaqua tornado. And so on. Anyone with 30 seconds (that’s 29.69 seconds to type and 0.31 seconds to processing time) and access to Google can find 1,720,000 results on tornadoes in New York. That’s how I found the Tornado Project with its interesting data.

I understand politicians have agendas. I hate being lied to.

It’s worse when they think we’re too stupid to know the truth.

It’s atrocious when the media simply publishes the propaganda as fact.


“We do get tornadoes in New York,” WPTZ Chief Meteorologist Tom Messner said tonight.

  1. Thanks for this, Dick! I just fired off a nastygram to our uninformed Governor. It was the cathartic highlight of my day!
