gollark: The trouble with using the containment class system for tornadoes is that it's not exactly very granular. You're not going to seriously have any Safe-class tornadoes, which means you can just say they're Euclid or Keter.
gollark: No, those are still there, it's an extra thing added on top. http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/anomaly-classification-system-guide
gollark: There's actually a shiny new containment class/disruption class/risk class system in place now.
gollark: I haven't heard anything about a war though.
gollark: Climate change is more of a long term issue than a *disaster* right now.
