I hate this presidential administration just a little bit more than the intrusion of easily accessible gambling. I liked it better when it was just Vegas and Atlantic City.

This dramatic trough approaching the southern and southeast United States reminds me of Christmas Eve 2020. Here's a comparison of the 500 mb height anomaly. Won't be working with similar available moisture but upper dynamics are on par with each other. Left: (today, Monday) Right: Xmas eve '20.

One thing that happened to me personally after the hurricane was eating your stress and emotions. I gained about thirty pounds. Whether you know it or not, if you lived in WNC during Helene, you grappled with loads of feelings.

Sometime in the mid aughts, I think it was around 2006 or 2007, I caught wind of the term supermoon. I wrote an article and created a full moon graphic with the Superman shield watermarked over the moon. It was on the homepage of weather dot com for a day or more.

I'm not sure if Ryan Maue is being serious or if his tongue is firmly in cheek when it comes to his recent tweets on X. His sarcasm -if there is any- doesn't translate well.

NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska
NOAA cancels longstanding funding for seismic data collection crucial to tsunami warning systems
The Alaska Earthquake Center has long provided NOAA with seismic data for tsunami monitoring and warning purposes. That work will wind down in November, after the federal agency said it can no longer fund the contract.
