Sudden Increase In Seat Belt Sign use?

Hello all,

I'm a moderately heavy traveler, particularly lately, and I've noticed something positively strange in my last three long haul trips:

The seat belt sign. It goes on. It rarely goes off. And its presence is fairly zealously being enforced, both in person and over speakers.

Now, I'm a scientist, and I'm well aware that my sample size is limited. Thus me posting -- perhaps this is just something that's always been there, that I filtered out?

I've asked the attendants, and they're saying people are being extra cautious due to tornados in the US. And I suppose we've had the volcano in Europe. That leaves that fight over the pacific, though.

Anyone else seeing this?
