Comment: Other rare, unseasonal and very large tornadoes have formed around the planet in recent times including: Study: Tornado outbreaks are increasing - but scientists don't understand why. A coauthor of this paper states "What's pushing this rise in extreme outbreaks is far from obvious in the present state of climate science."

A couple of years ago other climate scientists were saying hurricane Harvey "should serve as a warning", as they continue to push the man-made climate change/global warming lie. They are not considering the importance of atmospheric dust loading and the winning Electric Universe model in their research.

Such information and much more, are explained in the book Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection by Pierre Lescaudron and Laura Knight-Jadczyk.
The accumulation of cometary dust in the Earth's atmosphere plays an important role in the increase of tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes and their associated rainfalls, snowfalls and lightning. To understand this mechanism we must first take into account the electric nature of hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones, which are actually manifestations of the same electric phenomenon at different scales or levels of power.

Hailstorms hit Rhône valley in France resulting in 30-40% fewer apricots

APRICOTS
Hail storms in the Rhône area in France have caused significant damage to apricots. This is according to Theo Kampschoer of Kampexport. This company has a branch in La Grande Motte, France.

"We had a lot of bad weather about ten days ago. I heard of a walnut farmer in the area who had thousands of his trees blown over. They were thick, 40-year-old trees," Theo says.

"You should see what is happening with the apricots. In the Rhône valley, you can write off 30-40% of the apricot harvest. And that is a large area. About half of the Bergeron apricots are grown there."

More than half of Caspe's queen plum crops have been scorched by heat.
Fruit crops in the Spanish region of Aragon, mainly plums, apples, apricots and pears, have been devastated by the high temperatures recorded in eastern Aragon in recent days.

In the area of ​​Caspe, more than half of the Reina plum production has burned just a week after the harvest started, so up to one million kilos are estimated to have been lost. Farther north, in Fraga, the main crops affected have been pears, apples and apricots. The heat has even made it necessary for the schedule of seasonal workers to be changed, getting them to work several hours earlier in order to avoid the higher temperatures of the afternoon.

The secretary general of Asaja Aragón, Ángel Samper, is asking for more protection from the central government in these extreme cases, as well as the regulation of sales without fixed prices.
