What exactly are you doing to assist those in our southeast U.S. in their time of need, instead of griping about OUR Vice President Harris? If you must know, I’m in Asheville, North Carolina, today volunteering assistance
This is a frequent harasser (this is his 3rd message to me this morning) and I block most of his comments as they are not constructive. However, I'm letting this one through because he has issued a challenge not just to me but to all of us. I wrote a HUGE check to the Salvation Army's Helene Relief Fund Saturday. I would like to request that all my readers to the same to the extent they are able: https://give.helpsalvationarmy.org/give/166081/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=USNDisaster&c_src2=disasterModule
BEFORE the disaster began, I worked day and night to get the message out that "catastrophic" flooding was likely in the region and advised proactive evacuation. You can easily verify that for yourself by paging down and reading my posts. This was in spite of the NWS forecasting, "Heavy rainfall will likely result in locally considerable flash and urban flooding across portions of Florida, with isolated flash and urban flooding possible across the Southeast, Southern Appalachians, and the Tennessee Valley Wednesday through Friday. Minor to isolated moderate river flooding will be possible." A great understatement of the threat.
As Biden was at the beach (again) over the weekend and Harris was in the West at a fundraiser, I will continue to criticize them until they respond appropriately to this disaster!
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
The title of this essay is from a press release that indirectly "blames the victim." The author is Sedgwick County Emergency Management regarding a fatal tornado that occurred just north of Wichita at 1:14 this morning. The tornado was rated EF-2 ("strong") intensity. I believe the wording is unfortunate as discussed below. Photo: KAKE.com. Note that with a basement, as little as seconds to dash down the stairs might have been sufficient to avoid injury. In what has increasingly and unfortunately become the norm in tornado situations, no NWS tornado warning was issued even though: Rotation was depicted on radar Radar shows lofted debris People from outside the NWS are observing tornadoes and bringing them to NWS's and the public's attention. I want to be clear: the tornado formed practically on top of the home and there was probably no way to have warned in time to help the man killed. But there is absolutely no reason a tornado warning could not have bee...
This past Friday, we had a great example of how a meteorologist can tell the difference between side-lobes (a false echo that mimics a tornado's circulation on radar) and one indicating a tornado is forming or in progress. I'm going to walk you through it so young meteorologists, in a similar case, won't make the mistake of mistaking side lobes for a tornado. This case was in north central Texas on February 2nd. I'm using the Abilene/Sweetwater WSR-88D and the software is RadarScope. When I draw on one panel of the screen, it shows up on the other in the same place, so the measurements are about as exact as any in meteorology. The Thunderstorm Cluster, 4:24pm Above is a cluster of thunderstorms with the two storms with arrows starting to transition to supercells. We already have the northern storm (just south of Aspermont) moving north northeast. In a situation like this, the storm will likely be "a hailer" -- meaning it is likely to produce hail, possibly ...
