Year ago.  Yup, take decades for every landscape to look normal again.  Reports were possible tornado with straight-line winds and hail.  Need a good name for it...but most of my ideas contain profane words.

I've never, ever heard anyone refer to these events as "derechos".  I just always thought they were called "storms".

I'd never heard of "Real-feel" either (the temperature is "this", but FEELS like "this") before I started hearing it in NC last year.  ::snort::

Welp, here ya go; I stumbled across this today:

Quote
Besides categorizing normal weather events as extreme, terms were created to increase the impression of abnormality. For example, the below map used by Alex Sosnowski, the so-called “expert senior meteorologist” at Accuweather, shows very high temperatures. But it is pure deception:



Most readers would naturally assume that actual air temperatures are being shown, but they are being tricked. Instead, a contrived measure called the “heat index” is displayed. Heat index, a statistic Sosnowski refers as the “RealFeel” temperature, is created by combining air temperature and relative humidity. It presumably reflects the capability of sweat to cool the body — but it ignores wind speed, which is a critical cooling agent that makes it seem less hot than it actually is. Of course, in the winter, media meteorologists always cite the “wind chill,” since that makes low temperatures seem even lower. Both heat index and wind chill are simply propaganda tools designed to make viewers think conditions are more extreme than they really are.

So, now we know who the stinkin' propagandist is who came up with that one.

Ask the tool how hot it feels when I give him a hot-foot.  Then, see if anybody feels like caring. 

 ;D

See, it's easy to be a tool!

People are getting dumber, and lazier...Idiocracy taking root...   ::facepalm::

You know what it takes to get that kind of heat index in St. Louis?  Normal July weather.  Temp in the 90's, dewpoint in the 70's.

Want to impress me?  Give me a day like we had here, 2 years ago.  Temperature of 96, Dewpoint of 84, equals a Heat index 120.  That impressed me.  Is it climate change, no.  It's more and morons (sorry if I offend some as a sometimes biker who gets tired of being squirted on by auto lawn sprinklers) shooting water up in the air, watering their lawns.  That really does add measurable humidity to the air in cities, as does crop watering do in the country.

It finally gets to be summer where I live and people are surprised and complain!

I wait a good part of the year so I can open my windows and people can't wait to turn on the AC.

Speaking of temperatures in the 90's, dewpoints in the 70's and a HI of 105ish...

Getting a little summer, finally, up here.

Or just a weather pattern shift.  After a cool summer, maybe this will hang on awhile, and we'll have a fall that lasts as long as winter lasted.

I like a normal October.  65 in the day, 45 at night, and color in the air.

Hotter than Africa.  Seriously, I work in Da Hood, I heard one immigrant say to another "I gotta move back to Africa, man, it's hot!"...I just thought, "Yeah, I wouldn't stop ya, but neither of ya look serious about that movin' back part, Kwame!"...definite FreeShyter's, they ain't going anywhere...they love ObamaMerika.
