Just trying to simulate a tornado but the ring of turbulence I added turned out to be the one ring of power, and I have captured the direct attention of Sauron himself.

If it entices you: the essay prominently features a bonkers housing nonprofit called "Aspiring Anew Generation" that was almost entirely generated by ChatGPT and, shortly after their presentation at the OKC City Council (who voted to approve their involvement) was suspended on suspicion of fraud.
A year ago, I heard that Oklahoma City had approved a plan to build Legends Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the entire Western hemisphere. Why were we building the Tower of Babel in the Heartland? I decided to investigate. This essay is the result. (gift link) thepickup.com/whats-so-wro...

This is a remarkable image from the NOAA-P3 #Hurricane Hunters in #Erin.
You can actually see the wind speed gradient by the color of the ocean as you go from extreme #eyewall winds to the relative calm of the #eye.

This Sunday, we collected a close range dataset of multiple tornadoes near Arnett, OK in RaXPol. Despite scrambling to find a position, we captured the debris cloud, a debris ejection associated with intense RFD, and surface-layer vorticity worms in the inflow and RFD.
