If I were to go, I would love to do so through means of which I could give back to the con/represent our science for the fandom :)

thank you :) that was a lovely gift from the both of you. much appreciated & always happy to share the blue dog!

Philippe, take it from me—I wouldn't work for the team I do if my concerns about your perspective here weren't being met & exceeded on our streams. My #1 goal is to have the highest CSI in where our work is most valuable, which is bridging the gap between SPC watches and NWS warnings in rare events.

Life is so much fun :) This week is super packed—two stream days in a row already with a third coming up, a meeting with SPC meteorologists, and I'm talking to a high school class about my work! Been absolutely kicking butt so far and ready to keep going!

Fun chase all around! I saw 3 (maybe 4) barely tornadoes, two in new states (TX/KS). Satisfied the storm structure checkbox. Enjoyed some good food, at this point honoring traditional spots for our group. Some pics below :) Thanks to Jared, Sam, Hunter and Wyatt for another dope year

Just for some context: I edit and ensure all video scripts are solid before they're created, as well as help choose thumbnails & titles to prevent unnecessary hyperbole + reach the largest audience. I also work the streams in full in an effort to maximize our POD/minimize FAR in nationwide coverage.

Good to hear you're prepared!

It sucks when someone is superficial though, and that's what your last post is. You don't need to spend time watching him to see his serious side & our millions raised for nonprofit operations thereafter, but you shouldn't diss them if you don't spend that time.

Clickbait is not for everyone, but everyone *does* have a different definition of clickbait. I'm sorry you feel like you're aggressed by the thumbnails; but, they have proven to get scientifically-vetted info out to exponentially more people (I edit the video scripts).

His chasing accident is a public video on his YouTube channel, there to be transparent & raise awareness for proper chasing technique and etiquette.

I'm the lead meteorologist, and the only one who issues the y'all watches right now. We bridge the gap between a watch and a warning. I'd recommend listening to the latest weatherbrains podcast from Spann, they talk about y'all watches for 20-25 minutes. Lead NOAA Social scientist supports them.

I take comments like this seriously, because I have dedicated years of my life & thousands of hours toward making his broadcast polished & statistically significant. To me, this is highly offensive due to the superficial nature of your observation/assumption about his work. What's wrong with it?

No chase today, at my bf's PhD graduation ceremony :)

Out chasin storms till the 30th. First day yesterday was decent, in 3 tornado warnings & saw 1 funnel in Portage, Wisconsin :) Two weeks of vacation to go!

funniest ears i've ever seen on a cat. looks like an owl

hi bluesky :) our coverage yesterday is #1 trending on youtube today in the US. pretty wild results

This was a compact mcs, not a supercell

If storms are closer to the low pressure center, they're closer to the jet streak higher up. Thus, the total winds affecting a storm as it towers up increases, and in this case the low pressure & jet stream are further north

This is bistatic coupling

This is MY ball

perfect pumpkin loaf

Ok... I think we did good. I believe I issued over 100 y'all watches, and I heard there were over 230 tornado warnings for the day. Coverage was immaculate and we peaked at 288,000 viewers for severe weather, a new high for the mode.

Never a good thing when your boss wakes up and the first message he sends you is "omg we could be live the next 5 days in a row"😅

I miss this little munchkin so much

hanging out in his pumpkin :D we still have the pumpkin on our couch so he can come visit whenever

I'm completely overwhelmed after the last two days' outbreak. I feel like I'm ready to do 12 more hours of coverage, yet at the same time I cannot motivate myself to do anything else lol. Severe weather paralysis of some sort

holding your hand

I didn't know this was happening, yeah I'll test it out and tell him

I'm glad you're safe! Thanks for sending this along :)

I'm proud to be your first target. Bite my gay ass :)
