The dozens (?) of NVDOT traffic cameras along the strip are a fun way to watch F1 qualifying without worrying about your ESPN subscription - all have real-time video feeds.

That's never a good way to start your day.

Another sign of an intense event - when SWPC goes _hard_ down. Reminds of the NHC site during big events way back in the day.

I already got some great clear-sky shots earlier this evening before the clouds came back in a second time, but views like this of the current substorm are just a tease

This photo from Sept 2022 was surfaced to me and, uhm, I think we're going to need more of this beverage all too soon...

Nauseatingly intense winds. That ML150 value is likely what supported the 10a ET bump to 160kt.
Remember dropsonde winds are the equivalent of gusts, but 172kt gust at the surface is beyond insane.

Finally a dropsonde message got out. 892mb.

Must've been some mess that got made on the way through the eyewall to have this long of a hold inside the eye. Typically it's either a cleanup or, on occasion, an equipment check.
The up-and-down blue lines and low red line values in the top left chart indicates the time spent circling in the eye.

Lightning only now beginning to encompass the entire eyewall of Melissa, or at least an uptick in lightning counts if you don't fully trust the GOES lightning mappers.

I've seen a lot of dropsondes over my years, and a peak wind of 210kt - even at the top of/just beyond the boundary layer - is wild to see. Might be up there in the ranks of all-time strongest dropsonde-measured gusts as well.

The chargers on the AF 223 fleet has a leg up on the KLM 195s. Also makes sense given that AF bans all in-flight use of power banks.

It might seem modern to only have the "universal" plug but these USB-A ports went out of style 5-10 years ago for charging. I don't even have a cable worthy of traveling that is compatible.

This is one of the saddest public transit headlines I've ever seen.
Major sporting event? Either drive home from the massive parking lot, or take a train that can only run because of a sports betting company.
The SEPTA funding situation is so beyond sad at this point.

Sure, it's already produced a gust to 101mph and has a rear inflow jet of 130mph+ and several tornadoes from that blob out ahead of it, and perhaps embedded in the main line as well, but JEEZ is this a beautiful confluence of dynamics in North Dakota tonight.

Yes, the location of the t and b in those numbers appear to be accurate.
