All this shows is that the US has no idea what it’s doing and it’s being played by Moscow. Complete humiliation.

Some of you ask how a potential CFB playoff team could also be a Sickos Team. Well Oklahoma has 6 plays for -7 Yards after the first quarter.

Just a legendary run for FSU football:

- NCSU punt so bad it bonks off a blocker's head and the punter recovers

- Defense gets stop, punt is dropped

- Defense gives up 4th down TD

- Return flight diverted due to fog

- Bus breaks down on drive from Jacksonville to Tallahassee

BalancedWx Special: Revisiting the Texas Hill Country flash flood catastrophe Recent New York Times article provides details about events at Camp Mystic

New details from media reporting and lawsuits by victims families suggest July 4 TX flash flood response was plagued by poor preparedness and deep misunderstandings. My perspectives on what has been learned about the tragedy and what we need to do better going forward.

Extremely cold conditions have prevailed under surface inversion in Lapland now for several days. Some stations have not risen above -25 °C even in the daytime, which is exceptional for the time of the year.

For example, Kittilä Lompolonvuoma *highest* today is -27.1 °C.

Sitka, AK, has reported a thunderstorm two days in a row now. November is the most common month for thunderstorms in Sitka - followed by October and then December. Oct-Dec thunderstorms in Sitka are 14x more common than summer thunderstorms. @alaskawx.bsky.social

The climate change issue to me is about people understanding their risk going forward. The threat for this flood was apparent, climate change or not.

Maybe letting the HHS secretary override medical professionals and the DHS secretary override emergency management professionals (see my link) is not the optimum way to run a government.

Thanks, Justin, I fixed the map, I thought I was zoomed out on that original one but now clearly see where that original map was. It's funny, I had several people review this and nobody noticed that. Anyway, thanks for letting me know!

I may have it wrong. I asked the map server for Hannibal. I will check it, thanks!

Media reports that FEMA council report being edited by DHS, raising concerns about FEMA future Active weather for much of country today, along with more record warmth in the south

The more I think about the reports that the FEMA council recommendations are being edited by DHS, the angrier I get. If an expert panel was brought in to develop a plan to reform the air traffic control system, would we be OK with the DOT secretary rewriting it? tinyurl.com/mp93fdkm

Multiple media outlets report that DHS Sec. Noem is making major edits to the recommendations for FEMA crafted by the administration's hand-picked council of experts. It is crucial that those with actual disaster experience should guide how FEMA is reformed. https://tinyurl.com/mp93fdkm
