Craig Ceecee, Ph.D.

My new business cards are in production. The information is in the front of it. My name and information are on the rear. I've added a WeatherCall NexGen QR Code as well.

Thoughts while it is still being developed?

NWS is hiring! The first of several top-priority, mission-critical positions posted Friday on USAJobs.gov! Others will follow soon. Visit USAJobs.gov and search “NWS” to learn more.

At a M8.8, this #earthquake is tied for the 6th strongest since 1900.

1. Chile 1960 - M9.5
2. Alaska 1964 - M9.2
2. Indian Ocean 2004 - M9.2
4. Japan 2011 - M9.1
5. Kamchatka 1952 - M9.0
6. Ecuador 1906 - M8.8
6. Chile 2010 - M8.8
6. Kamchatka 2005 - M8.8
9. Alaska 1965 - M8.7

The Richter scale for #earthquake intensity is logarithmic. A one-point increase (i.e., from 7.0 to 8.0) represents nearly 32 times more energy released (and about 10 times stronger wavelengths). So the jump from M8.0 to M8.8 was ENORMOUS. This is in rare territory. #tsunami

One challenging aspect of my work is that it involves sometimes hours of research just to verify a few new #tornado shelter locations. I have to look it up if there's a hint of it, then look around on Google Earth AND Google Street View, often block by block. Some images are 10 to 17 years old!

Preparing my stuff for the NWA (National Weather Association) conference in September. Also deciding if I want to go to AMS in January either in person or online. The sticking point for me is that AMS is often TOO big for me...

You're welcome and thank you for all you do!

I'm sure it will be great! I'll be on the lookout for it!

After a month of frustration with a broken computer and delays, I finally just re-submitted my article for scientific review - based on the broadcast meteorology realm and tornado shelter communication.

If accepted, that completes my series from the Ph.D. dissertation. #PhD #AcademicSky #scicomm

How to find a tornado shelter near you A new website helps people locate tornado shelters nearby.

I was featured in an article on tornado shelters which is focused on the Cincinnati (and Tri-State) area. There aren't many there, but the discussion is moving. Thank you @erinashleywx.bsky.social and @ethanemerywx.bsky.social at @fox19.com for the discussion!

It was on WMTV that someone saw it.

I saw my interview with your old station (with Erin) has been aired on several other stations. One friend in Madison, WI saw it as they picked up on it this morning.

Are you freelancing or working at another station now?

Watching all these stories about the flooding and the broken families - especially with the kids - is just heartbreaking. It's hard to watch.

@dansmithweather.bsky.social how did you manage to get verified here?

When you watch the skies for fireworks, you will see an incredible array of colors. What produces them? Chemistry!!! It's a good #science lesson for the #FourthofJuly. You'll see them on the Periodic Table as well. No matter how you feel, science rocks! #scicomm #fireworks #TheMoreYouKnow

I have put thousands of hours of work into my #tornado shelter map over the past 3 years, and I know it has saved lives (based on testimonials). I never imagined this when I started it. I appreciate so much the support from everyone. #EMGsky #WXsky #AcademicSky

I'll be doing a poster for #NWAS25 in Huntsville this September. It's a local-focused discussion for that area and a traditional poster. North Alabama is blessed to have a large number of #tornado shelters and the case study will use it as an example for other areas. #ALwx

Back in March, I received this testimonial about the work I do with my #tornado shelter operation and mapping.

It's something I keep reading - and I know there have been other stories this spring, even if I cannot be directly attributed to them.

A product I have a working partnership with is Storm-GPS, which is a corridor-specific storm tracking system. I'm happy to set you up for a trial.

With it, Somerset (KY) had its #tornado tracked within 1 mile with 28 min. notice last month. London (KY) had 50 min. notice. #KYwx

One thing I sometimes wonder is what would happen if some of the big historic hurricanes - from long before my lifetime - would happen today.

Some of them would be unimaginable in today's environment with far more people and development. And they could happen again.

This was aired a few weeks ago, but I forgot to post here images from an interview with @13abc.com that I had with @dansmithweather.bsky.social. It related to the #tornado shelter issue, both nationwide and in NW Ohio, and how my map is very useful. Link to video: www.13abc.com/video/2025/0...

Wow that is impressive!!

I'm at a loss of words for the devastation after last night's tornadoes in southern Kentucky. At least 21 people are confirmed dead (according to @wkyt.com) and there are homes completely flattened.

These events are the hardest ones to deal with. You do as much as you can, but it's not enough.

I wonder why science is being targeted the most? Because the people in charge think it is fake?

These are the #tornado shelters that are known to exist in the threat area. Not too many in the area of greatest concern - they become far more abundant farther south. I'll look in the morning to see if more do exist.

Congrats Rachael!!!

Do you have contacts with TV stations that might be interested in discussions with me?
