Little me in elementary school would be losing her mind right now, five classes left until I become one of those scientists she used to read about in tornado and weather books at the library! Nine months to go until I have my degree in Meteorology🌪️📚

This a dropsonde that was dropped into the most intense part of Hurricane Melissa eyewall with winds over 247 mph just a few hundred meters above the surface. It is expected to make landfall momentarily.

Am I finishing meteorology school…or is meteorology school finishing me? Tune in tomorrow at 7am MDT for the thrilling final season of Candyse Goes to Meteorology School—starring caffeine, chaos, and questionable math skills.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of world renowned meteorologist Gary England tonight. Know for his in-depth reporting on tornadoes, particularly the devastating Bridge Creek-Moore
Oklahoma tornado on May 3, 1999.

A year ago today, I discovered the breathtaking beauty of the Aurora Borealis in the heart of Badlands National Park during the incredible G5 geomagnetic storm, a night that left an indelible mark on my soul. ✨

The administration's plan to withhold NOAA's approved funds threatens vital research and the development of life-saving severe weather forecasts, from long-term mitigation to providing life-saving lead time before catastrophic weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes.

Katy Perry taking a quick 10-minute trip to "space" was supposedly a way to inspire women to pursue careers in aerospace/STEM fields. Meanwhile, women already established in STEM roles at organizations like NASA and NOAA are—*checks notes*—losing their jobs because of this crap of an administration.

Tomorrow is my 30th birthday as well as the first day of meteorological spring/tornado season and this year I just want NOAA to be fully funded and operational.

It’s unsettling to think I’ll graduate with a Bachelor’s in Geoscience next year while questioning whether there will still be an Earth able to be saved.

I have wanted a Subaru for the longest time, and tonight I adopted a 2016 Subaru Outback. Her name is Gaia, named after the Greek goddess of Earth. She is my first vehicle. I can’t wait to chase so many storms with her. Also, I am wearing my new destroy the patriarchy, not the planet shirt🌎🌲

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in 2024. This year has been filled with hard work and challenges, but it has also been incredibly rewarding and beautiful. I am grateful for the encouragement, kindness, and love that have helped me through it all. I couldn't have done it without you.

Something deorbited and punched through the ionosphere causing the red aurora effect around 1145 UTC this morning. Here is the view looking SW from Rapid City, SD with Nikon D850 full spectrum. Was heading SE. I have included a list of candidate rocket launches. @planet4589.bsky.social
