Just a reminder the National Debt crisis and resulting government shutdown was created by the unnecessary massive tax cuts for the Top 0.1%

November might be the most interesting month for extreme weather in the USA. Potential for tornadoes, hurricanes, Nor'easters, and intense lake effect snow.

JD Vance is lying. He knows he’s lying. But he doesn’t care. Trump has taught Vance & all the others in my former political party that the truth doesn’t matter.

Certain the US Government could've sold every brick and window of the White House East Wing as historical momentos and cherished keepsakes to and for the US Citizens/Tax Payers, instead of just obliterating and trashing a historical structure... but what do I know! SMH

October 29-30th, 2011:
A nor'easter swept up the Appalachians into New England. Over a foot of snow fell from West Virginia to Maine, with more than two feet in Massachusetts and New Hampshire mountains. Winds over 50 mph were reported on Nantucket Island and Martha's Vineyard.

Something like this hasn't happened since 1935: a high-end, sub-900mb CAT 5 Tropical Cyclone made landfall at/near peak intensity in the Atlantic Basin. The October 28, 2025 Hurricane Melissa Jamaica landfall event is a rare meteorological moment in history.

Appears CAT 5 Hurricane Melissa made landfall near New Hope, Jamaica with an incredibly low estimated minimum central pressure of 892 mb and devastating maximum sustained winds of 185 mph with higher gusts possibly exceeding 200 mph. Also, tornado or tornado-like whirls possible!

Have to wonder if the Jamaican high terrain and/or trochoidal wobbles will have a significant impact on the potential landfall location of CAT 5 Hurricane Melissa. Localized enhanced steering currents can develop between the core of tropical cyclones and high terrain islands...

Lightning flashes within the powerful eye wall of Hurricane Melissa.
Incredible imagery this morning of Melissa, a Category 5 storm, south of Jamaica.

Even with all of the structural, intensity, and SST/OHC changes underneath Hurricane #Melissa the last few days, the diurnal cycle still remains undefeated and inevitable

Incredible outflow channel ventilation for CAT 5 Hurricane Melissa over the Caribbean.
The most intense tropical cyclones typically have massive outflow channels like these.

CAT 5 Hurricane Melissa looks incredibly intense on satellite just south of Jamaica. The storm is likely to turn north today and tomorrow and cause catastrophic damage over Jamaica as a powerhouse.

A dynamic extratropical cyclone produced a wide array of significant weather events in the central & eastern US. 63 twisters and hundreds of damaging wind reports were spawned by a high risk derecho event & tornado outbreak. In the Upper Midwest, a blizzard occurred.

Hurricane Melissa looks like an absolute beast this morning. It appears to slowly be chugging toward Jamaica and then Cuba the next few days. These islands will probably get incredible amounts of rainfall likely resulting in devastating floods and mudslides. #HurricaneMelissa

OTD 25 years ago, October 22, 2000, I saw my first tornado over the Southeast-side of Oklahoma City, OK with friend and fellow newbie storm chaser Jim Bishop.
Saw powerflashes from a tornado near Crossroads Mall. Later, we were hit by possibly the same circulation northeast of the mall. #OKwx

OTD 3 year ago tonight, October, 22, 2022, I was in Nayarit, Mexico waiting for Category 4 #Hurricane #Roslyn. It made landfall during early morning hours the following day, the 23rd, as a strong CAT 3.
