I like weather and planes
@stephenking.bsky.social While I’m sure this is not an original thought…what if @melanielynskey.bsky.social got to play Annie Wilkes?

NEW: NOAA has now backed off a plan to defer maintenance to the satellites that form the backbone of the nation's weather prediction system. The $13 billion satellite program will now be managed rather than fixed after problems emerge.
In a bid to slash as many contracts as possible at NOAA, Trump political appointees went after the maintenance of key satellites that form the backbone of the 3- and 7-day weather forecast and warning system for hurricanes and tornados. www.eenews.net/articles/noa...
NOAA halts upkeep of critical weather satellites
The decision to defer maintenance of the Joint Polar Satellite System threatens to degrade the accuracy of meteorological forecasts.

Potentially tornadic storm moving right over the Paducah KY radar and NWS office. Hoping it’s not producing. Folks, the staff there deserve all the love regardless. They have worked multiple tornado events this spring already and their office doesn’t even have functioning toilets!

Chappell Roan setting her Grammy down on the stage so she could, rightly so, flip the page in her journal and continue to rip on record labels, while wearing a bedsheet and a princess hat was the most based thing ever.

I know things are crappy right now. I need to point out, however, that every disappointed Canadian dad looks the same.

451 claps of thunder in 10 minutes. Flight 343 circled Wuhan deciding to land. The FO suggested diverting. The plane was struck by lightning and wind shear then broke in two crashing into Sitai Village.

Weather: Ice
Aircraft type: DC-3
Fatalities: 0
After deicing they ended up delayed on departure, ice built up on the wings. Struggling to become air born they crashed (gently) into a house. Coming down through the attic and out the front doors, our pilot flying earned the nickname Rooftop Johnson.

I’m in the midst of collecting all of the aviation accidents I can that involve weather. Let’s see how far I get…
