2025 is looking to be a pretty active year for tornadoes according to weather forecasters. That’s not exactly welcome news at the best of times, but it’s particularly concerning at the moment as Elon Musk and DOGE demanded staff cuts earlier this year meaning the organisations that deal with this sort of weather are not at full strength.
Numerous government agencies have seen mass lay-offs thanks to Musk. The National Weather Service (NWS) and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were told to eliminate 1,000 workers (in addition to the 1,300 workers who had already left) by the Trump administration in March of this year.
