Looks like a fairly decent earthquake happened near Melbourne, Australia.

Full sequence of the annular solar eclipse at Shiprock, New Mexico. This was a dream composition of mine. So much time, energy, and money went into making it happen. I'm forever grateful to the Navajo for letting me shoot it from sacred ground. An experience I'll never forget.

Hurricane #Norma looking impressive this morning with a well-defined eye and outflow spilling north, east, and south of the center. Outflow is only really restricted in the SW quadrant, a hint of the southwesterly shear that will eventually weaken the system as it approaches Cabo San Lucas

Facebook / Meta willingly allows hackers to retain control of business pages despite proof of business ownership citing policies that make recovery “out of scope.”
Screen shot of an email that says: “Thanks for your patience. Our internal teams have completed the investigation and as the issues has happened externally, Meta is not authorized to remove any pages as per Data Protection policies. We can try to recover the access back and restore the pages, but if they are already claimed by other BMs, then it is out of scope for us. We have recovered the access back for the admin's profile but we regret to inform you we are unable to provide any more support on this as per user data security and privacy. Please help us improve by taking a few minutes to complete a brief survey about your experience with us. You'll receive an email with a link to our survey shortly. We have marked your case as resolved, but if you continue to experience issues or have any questions you can reopen this case. We're happy to help. Thank you for contacting Meta Support Pro.

Seems we've had at least 3 tornadoes in Florida this morning: Trinity, Clearwater/Dunedin area, and Palm Coast. The Trinity storm was ongoing just after 2am and storms are still crossing the state here at 10am. Watch is in effect until 3pm.
Map of the tornado watch area in north and central Florida. This watch is valid until three o'clock this afternoon.

Partial annual eclipse viewing on Saturday appears far from ideal across much of the Midwest, with a midlatitude cyclone likely over Ohio and a large shield of stratocumulus clouds on the back side

If you have enough money to influence politics, you don't deserve privacy. I said what I said.

Kind reminders:

1—Palestinians don’t owe you a clarification or condemnation of any kind regarding their stance on the resistance. Unlearn your western exceptionalism

2—Calling it a “religions conflict” is reductive & lazy. It’s Israeli colonialism, racism, ethnic cleansing, occupation & apartheid

Found an awesome open source project to go alongside Supercell Wx. This one is called OpenStorm. I used it for that tornado warned storm in Southeast Oklahoma about 20 minutes ago.
