Germany braces for tornados as 'Lambert' arrives – DW – 06/22/2023

Germany is preparing for the arrival of “Lambert,” a rare weather phenomenon that could bring tornadoes to the country. The storm is expected to hit southern and central Germany, with the states of Hesse and Baden-Württemberg in particular on high alert. According to meteorologists, the storm could cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. Germany has experienced a number of tornadoes in recent years, including a deadly one that struck the town of Roetgen in 2021. The country is not typically hit by such storms, but experts say climate change is making them more frequent. The government is urging people to take precautions and stay safe during the storm. This article caught my attention because it highlights the severe impact climate change is having on the world and how even countries that are not traditionally affected by tornadoes are now bracing themselves for their impact. It is important that we take action to address climate change before such weather events become even more frequent and destructive.
