Aww darn! I wish we had seen you this year! So glad you randomly sat at our table! It’s been awesome getting to know you! Are you gong to summit next year?

Thank you Chris! That truly means so much!

Thank you. So sick of these entitled chasers complaining because a legit tornado outbreak wasn’t *worse.*

“It’s just a little pressure,” they say as the provider ripped out pieces of my cervix and uterus last year during a colposcopy and uterine biopsy. 🤬

I keep pressing and she finally performs a cervical block.

Ladies, never stop advocating for yourself.

Also, it’s criminal that women are expected to “tough out” procedures like this with zero pain management.

Tornadoes are apolitical. They don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat. They will kill you regardless of what you think about the weather. Everyone should be calling their elected officials to protest the unjust cuts to NOAA and the NWS. Lives depend on it.

Privatizing weather looks like model data, forecasts and tornado warnings behind paywalls. It will result in more missed warnings on hectic days. Rural areas risk being left behind entirely when forecasters are forced to triage coverage or cover urban areas with more customers.

Last night, two critical Texas radars at the southern end of the threat were down.

We all know Trump and Project 2025's endgame is to privatize weather. if this comes to fruition, we can expect more radar outages and downtime during higher risk days.

QLCS tornado events like last night are notoriously difficult to warn. These tornadoes spin up quickly, birthed by embedded supercells in a fast moving linear system. It requires increased manpower to monitor these events and keep communities safe.
