We've had two years in the last five that actually got under 32°f which usually happens once a decade or less. Many plants here can't tolerate that weather so they die.

Tornados in other parts of the country seem more destructive. They are also happening further East.

Hurricane's are also a problem for the coastal regions. My area hasn't been affected by them but I am expecting that to change.

Weather is more extreme on each end of the spectrum.

Tornados are the one I was going to bring up. The area I'm currently in rarely even saw potential formations with only one ever really fully forming, and that one was devastating.

In a recent storm, we had 4 touch down around us. Didn't get down in our valley, thankfully, but they were extremely close. Even when we're not in a watch/warning, everyone has noticed that the storms are more intense, and more frequent. We didn't even have our full round of frosts before the temperature started climbing and the rain started moving in, which has also affected local flora and fauna.
