Today’s NWS/NOAA firings are an atrocious decision. We’re losing hundreds of our best and brightest going into tropical and severe season. With further cuts on the table that would cripple essential services reach out to your congresspersons.

I’ll add to this with my thoughts. If you do this refer those people to weather.gov. That’ll bring more attention to what we provide and where that information comes from. Show people NWSs utility.

I will mourn the day that our knowledge, research, and passion in the Weather Service is ever disposed of in favor of that used for the gain of a business or individual. I kept my job today, but I will miss everyone else who was motivated by the greater good of all people.

Bottom line: The intentional loss of exceptional scientists and other terrific public servants at NOAA leaves our country less safe and more vulnerable.

I don’t have words for what’s happening to my friends and colleagues at NOAA right now… absolutely reckless destruction of one of the world’s premier science-driven, public-serving organizations.

The Stephenville/Dublin #Texas β€œMother of all ships” back in 2015 was an absolute unit of a storm. Never got to fully stop to enjoy this beast as it was dropping SOFTBALL πŸ₯Ž Sized Hail on us!!

Storm clouds roll above the North Dakota grasslands, a lightning bolt reaches out and hits beyond the horizon. The last orange light of sunset is barely visible behind the blue hued storm.

A deep blue structured supercell throws bolts out of the top. The silhouette of the plains is just visible at the horizon.

A bright lightning bolt illuminates a low wall cloud as a supercell combs the farmlands of North Dakota. A dirt road ambles towards the storm and over the horizon abutted by bright green fields.
