8 months ago I had a vision: what if we had a unified, track-based dataset of all severe events?
Still a lot of improvements I can make to the algorithm itself, but otherwise, looks like we have one now. I can't wait to see what we can do with this 👀

New stat suggestion for the #NFL. INT category for WR/RB, especially for balls that are tipped balls or obvious catchable balls. Shouldnt go against the QB.

Ever wondered how hailstorms vary across the year? Here's all radar-estimated hail swaths by month since 2011. Love seeing the northwest flow monsters come alive June-August!

Just a reminder that NWS is considered essential during a government shutdown. Meteorologists will still go to work, forecasts will still be made, watches and warnings will be issued, data will flow. We won’t be paid until the shutdown ends, but we’ll still protect life and property as always.

You wanna avoid ties in the #NFL overtime. Make the OT 15 mins instead of 10. 10 mins only allows one long possession each way. Still like that, each team gets at least one possession.

If the 2026 elections are "called off", do you think America will finally wake up and see what's happening. That your rights are being taken away.

Its almost like the 2025 hurricane season knew that FEMA under the current admin was a mess, so decided to give the US a pass. #hurricane
