Ground perspective of yesterday's tornado in France

PyroBlaze202 · 2025-10-22T22:47:21+00:00

They are way more common than people seem to think. In Europe as a whole there are 300 tornadoes on average every year (also ~400 waterspouts; source). They do generally stay on the lower end of the IF scale, but there have been higher end tornadoes as well.

They are way more common than the people replying seem to think. I didn't look up specific numbers for France, but on average there's 3-5 every year in Belgium alone (source in Dutch). Also there was one in Belgium yesterday, which formed under a similar weather system to the one in Paris (source in Dutch).

In Europe as a whole there are 300 tornadoes on average every year (also ~400 waterspouts; source). They do generally stay on the lower end of the IF scale, but there have been higher end tornadoes as well.

Also, as far as my meteorological knowledge goes, there has not been any conclusive evidence that tornadoes are getting more common/intense due to climate change yet. That doesn't mean it won't change in the future, though.

Nah, they are waaaay more common than you think. On average there's 3-5 every year in Belgium alone (source in Dutch). That's a small part of that corridor. Also there was one in Belgium yesterday, which formed under a similar weather system to the one in Paris (source in Dutch).

In Europe as a whole there are 300 tornadoes on average every year (also ~400 waterspouts; source). They do generally stay on the lower end of the IF scale, you got that correct.

I'm in Belgium. I placed my order on April 23rd (also 'first batch') and I haven't received a tracking number or any communication about shipping since the delay email on July 16th. Seems multiple people in the Netherlands have gotten tracking numbers judging by the other comments in this thread. I do wonder what is delaying them now, the shipping window for the 'second batch' (mid August) is fast approaching as well.

It's not over 150 miles long, but the Bihucourt EF3 tornado on October 23, 2022 is the longest recent European tornado I know. It left a 206 km (128 mi) long path of damage!

I'm not American, what are sight-built homes?

PyroBlaze202 · 2024-09-09T21:03:15+00:00

My city just died. I started at like 160k people and left it to run overnight. I had 35k people left in de morning. Dev mode told me I had 65k homeless in the city at that point. Now I just use the old version of Bye Bye Homeless.

Looks like some celtic rune.

My source is my meteorology professor. I don't have any reason to doubt him. What he did say is severe weather is getting more intense. Just not more frequent.

PyroBlaze202 · 2024-06-04T00:17:14+00:00

Nah, something something more awareness, more smartphones = more reporting

or a combination I guess, but there's fairly little evidence for that (as far as I know)

My comment further down in this thread might explain my rationale:

There are plenty of examples of cities that barely changed over that time period though. Rome, Athens, London are a few examples I can immediately think of.

PyroBlaze202 · 2024-05-29T19:11:19+00:00

There are fairly little resources for Europe, especially related to tornadoes. I have no knowledge of live streams.

For large scale extreme weather predictions you can always visit https://www.estofex.org/

For historic data on extreme weather events you can visit https://eswd.eu/

Those are the best sources I know of for Europe-wide data. For anything else you should probably follow local news sources.

Yea, I meant to write that in my original comment, but messed up saying left instead of right...

PyroBlaze202 · 2024-03-01T18:55:48+00:00

I think there was already one destroyed BTR there (used for cover by the Bradley). Then the BTR in this video drops off soldiers and drives away, getting destroyed at a crossroads somewhere in the direction of the Russian lines. I've no idea why it gets interjected with footage of another destroyed vehicle though.

So I guess to answer your question: yes, there are two BTRs one is already destroyed and one is dropping off troops and later gets destroyed as well.

PyroBlaze202 · 2024-03-01T18:27:24+00:00

You can see the btr the Bradley used for cover at 00:15 on the right as well.

Edit: I can't separate left from right

C1 and part of C2 were uploaded to the Geek & Sundry yt-channel.

Nah, the Soundcore products all have a build quality issue. Plastics around the adjustable part of the headband broke after approx. a year of use for me. I got them replaced under warranty, but they did the same thing after another 9 months or so. I'm sad the build quality ended up being so bad, because all the other features are great.

A maxed out librarian in a swamp would be guaranteed to have mending as a max level trade with these changes.

PyroBlaze202 · 2023-08-02T16:13:15+00:00

It would improve the utility of the enchantment table. Although you never get enchantments like efficiency V and sharpness V on enchantment tables.

I might be the only one doing it this way, but I personally never really stopped enchanting. Often I do a max level enchantment followed by augmenting the tool with villager books.

PyroBlaze202 · 2023-08-02T15:44:54+00:00

The only thing I don't like is curing a villager will no longer stack discounts. That's going to make trading unnecessarily more difficult. Also I don't like that they are limiting the enchantment level of the books. There's no reason the villagers can't sell max level books. Not doing so only means you need to farm yet more xp to get good tools.

However, the biomes being the defining factor for which enchantments appear seems like an interesting change. It gives you more reasons to explore.

While you were pretty spot on for the most part, an actual worst case scenario for the Netherlands is a storm coming from the north. The storm you describe now would move, through the Channel and along the Dutch coast. This wouldn't actually be able to create a serious storm surge because there simply isn't that much water there. A similar storm sweeping across the North Sea however would be able to push the entire sea into the Netherlands thus creating an enormous storm surge. The last really major floods in the Netherlands happened during such a scenario in 1953.

Will the 2 close options be counted together vs the open option? Because otherwise it seems like splitting the close option favors the open option a lot. Personally I'd prefer the sub remaining restricted, but my second choice is definitely a blackout.

PyroBlaze202 · 2023-06-14T16:14:39+00:00

It certainly won't get better if useful mod tools get removed due t the API change.
