β€œThe River House Broke. We Rushed in the River.” The July 4 Texas flooding ripped our Kerr County home from its pillars, pulling us into the water and into the night. Then morning came.

This first-person account of bring swept away by the Texas floodwaters is harrowing & an incredible piece of writing.

We definitely saw 3 tornadoes between Sterling and Akron, CO this evening. I think the long-lasting one (pics) was probably two distinct couplets and tornadoes, so maybe there were 4 total. #cowx

This persistent landspout a few miles southwest of North Platte (around 7 pm) was a fun way to restart chasing in the Plains after a very calm week. #newx

Thinking about the good people of @noaa and @nws today. Such a dark day for our nation and our safety.

You're right about some subset, especially in a capitalist society, but you're grossly overgeneralizing.

From a 3rd middle-aged MS native quoting a 4th (Wright Thompson): "the accusation is the confession."

If he assumes that all your work is fraudulent and motivated only by personal profit, then you now have an understanding of how he operates.

However many times this was on your feed today, it wasn’t enough. Absolute perfection.
