R.I.P. Oklahoma

This is fucking unbelievable. During a quiet moment at the office this 
afternoon I turned on the tube. There was a helicopter shot of this 
massive funnel cloud just hovering over a suburban area- it seemed like 
forever. The commentator was rather dispassionately describing the 
scene, commentating on tornadoes of the past and what causes them to 
form, etc., as people were obviously being mutilated in the distance.

Is this up-tick in these mega-twisters and other weather phenomenon, 
like Sandy, the result of global warming?  If so, we're in deep shit.
