Landfilling Melissa is a 30-60 mile wide EF4-EF5 tornado! Nothing will withstand this monster!

The NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft (N42RF) flying into Melissa this morning had to return early due to severe turbulence. Melissa has 165mph winds and is expected to make landfall late tonight or early tomorrow morning at this same intensity...with gusts to 200mph. 🧪 #WithoutPay

Thanks!! Here is the 11am ET update from NHC. Also if you’re interested in our briefings…you can check out this one from yesterday. Another coming later this afternoon. youtu.be/iMpjSYb5uP0

Erin is now a CAT5 Hurricane with winds of 160mph. This monster storm is expected to double or TRIPLE in size over the next few days. This means the wind field will expand and push a lot of water toward the coastline if the U.S. major rip currents are on the way! 🧪 @elprager.bsky.social

Hurricane Erin’s eye is visible from the Puerto Rico NWS Doppler weather radar. NOAA Recon flight now in the storm just measured a wind of 157mph…that’s CAT5! The storm has undergone rapid intensification over the last 8 hours! Saharan dust is visible to the North of Erin. 🧪 @elprager.bsky.social

#HurricaneErin is now a CAT4 storm with winds of 145mph. We are monitoring as ‘Kermit’ (N42RF WP-3D) flies through the storm gathering critical data for hurricane forecast models. These @noaa.gov Meteorologists and pilots are heroes! Without NOAA Labs all this would go away! 🧪 @elprager.bsky.social

So…how’s your day going? The Pacific is on fire..(referring to activity). GeoCollaborate is monitoring and sharing real-time data to decision makers! Ocean observations are so critical! How do you think NOAA confirms a tsunami? We can not afford to lose ocean observations! @elprager.bsky.social 🔥🧪

@elprager.bsky.social was on CNN earlier this morning talking about the science behind earthquakes as we monitored the situation all night. She will be on The Weather Channel at 8:40am. Always listen to Tsunami warnings, watches and advisories. Tsunami.gov needs serious help.

Wait a minute! NOAA Weather Radio saves lives and it is now being ordered to shut down in some places???? How is this not criminal? Friends…help me understand this if this is even real!! This letter is dated one week AFTER the deadly Kerr County flood that has taken hundreds of lives!!!🧪

I LOVE the sticker we placed in every book!! 🌊 “Use more ocean data” That’s what #GeoCollaborate does too!!❤️🌎🌍🌏 #IOOS 🧪 #usemoreoceandata

CARICOOS is the Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System in Puerto Rico. Stand by for more information. It was fascinating for @elprager.bsky.social and I to visit and talk with Dr Julio Morell and his team about the importance of observations with ocean gliders and buoys for hurricane season!🧪

The hurricane season NOAA live stream is a disaster. Total avoidance of how local offices are ready to handle storms. Answer, “NHC is fully staffed.” NHC does not forecast locally..WFOs (Weather Forecast Offices) do.

Every local official should be very concerned about getting the best service!

Crowds are massive in Silver Spring, Maryland…the home of NOAA. People chanting, “Save NOAA Now!” and “We will not weather the storm.” Make your voices heard and keep it up. #NOAA #NWS Severe Weather is on its Way. And so is hurricane season. 🌀 🧪

This was such an amazing experience!! Thanks also to Alpha Omega for hosting a book signing at their event on Tuesday evening last week in New Orleans! 📖 It’s great to see so much interest in combating misinformation related to weather, oceans and climate! 🧪

A great session here at #ams2025 on Hurricane Katrina (20th Anniversary) that included @ltgrusselhonore.bsky.social Gen Russell Honore , Ashleigh Gardere, Allison Plyer, Nancy Rabalais, Mark Schleifstein.

Reality!

Thank you to #AMS2025 President Anjuli Bamzai for enabling AMS attendees to sponsor our @elprager.bsky.social book to students in New Orleans! Tue we will be speaking to students about oceans, atmosphere and climate change AND each student will get a book! We are so excited! #scienciteracy #ams2025
