I wonder if stuff like this will become the norm due to climate change and such; guess we'll have to wait for the coming decades to fully see how severe weather patterns will be impacted by it.Pretty much everywhere in the world except the place that's SUPPOSED to get them (the Plains/Midwest U.S.) has been getting them this spring/summer (with a few exceptions such as the DuPage Co., IL overnight one earlier this week).
What was the town closest to this initial tornado? I know the second one hit Guyuan.
Also stating the obvious, but this has been maybe the most intense Europe/Asia tornado season I can recall, especially in China. I wonder what July and August will bring...

There is this recent study about the severe weather environments and climate change that shows CAPE is increasing while shear is decreasingBaoying was the closest town to the initial tornado.
This year was weird. What makes It more intriguing is that US still had waaaay more tornado favourable environment than China and EU as far as I noticed.
All these intense tornados this year in China had STP no more than 2-3, some of them much lower than that. It looks more like mesocyclone accidents at some time but these accidents happened over and over again.
In climate view, One thing I know is the precipitation over most places in China have continuely increased since 2012. Some research predicted that the precipitation will continue to increase due to warming. Some anti-desertification have already noticed in Northern Region and some semi-arid and semi-humid areas have become wetter, which may plays a role in the tornado activity in these region. The overall tornado activity in China seems can be a good fit for the precipitation curve over past several decades.
For US, It was very common to see severe drought before the season in Plain in recent years. Some seasons didn't have a drought in Plain like last year was still inactive due to other reasons. I once read a paper said the dryline was shifting east in Plain over the past several decades, corresponding to the "Tornado alley shifting east" paper published in Nature.
I am in my opinion that It was still a year-to-year fluctuation thing in the short term but climate definitely plays a role in the long term. I think Grazulis already had some opinions about this and would be mentioned in his new book.
Yes. Another paper last year showed that CAP in Plain was increasing even more rapidly than Cape which plays a prohibitive factor in severe weather. The trends showed every per decade CAP change in OK was especially distinctive.There is this recent study about the severe weather environments and climate change that shows CAPE is increasing while shear is decreasing

Are you referring to the main archive or the Historic Images outlet? There's a lot of overlap, but last time I checked the outlet included photos that weren't in the main archive. Been a while though, and either way, it's definitely not comprehensive. There are a few aggregators out there as well but I haven't been able to find one that includes all of their past + current photos.Does anyone know of a comprehensive archive of "HistoricalImages" Press Photos? Their site is missing a lot of stuff. I was able to dig up these ones that you couldn't find on the site below:
Damage from Baochang tornado
That's obvious EF4 damage I don't get the "at least EF3 part." Those homes are built with very strong materials, much stronger than here in the states.That is intense damage, at least EF3, probably even EF4.
