Rapid intensification is not new, but now happens much faster & more often. @climatecentral.org data shows #Melissa is strengthening over oceans 2.5°F warmer than normal, made 500-700x more likely by climate change!! Let that sink in. More strengthening is still possible.

It’s so fitting that this week is 20 years since Hurricane Katrina. It’s also 20 years since a little girl set out to use her love for science to save lives, protect property, & educate the public. Katrina changed everything for me. It’s the reason why I became a meteorologist.

I’ve been trying to have more fun with communicating my science on social media. I’m incredibly grateful for a husband who not only runs with my ideas, but is supportive & understanding enough to shoot them.
Thank you, babe! I knew marrying my co-anchor would come in handy one day 😉

🦈 SHARKS! You hear the iconic beat from the iconic movie every summer. In the last 50 years since its release, “Jaws” changed pop culture & public perception of sharks. These creatures swam with dinosaurs, but it’s our human footprints that are changing their habitats more than ever before.
