@nikolaiG22 @R34469777Gordon @SawyerMerritt I live in a cold, snowy climate and also own an AWD. The RWD Tesla does about as well as an ICE FWD in the snow (and you can preheat it in your garage!) and slightly worse than the AWD. My point was that you were spreading misinformation about electric cars with RWD.

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

@R34469777Gordon @SawyerMerritt Why do you think FWD is typically better in snow? It’s because the engine/weight is over the front wheels. That obviously doesn’t apply here. You’re living in the past, man!

@AccuRayno No way - your videos are the absolute best!!!!

@bungarsargon Good afternoon,
Your FP article on NASA has a major error. You state “The last four attempts to get a Starship into orbit it have resulted in failure…”. This is untrue. All of these missions were intentionally suborbital, and the last two missions were resounding successes.

Somehow we stumbled across this tornado warned storm as we crossed into Oklahoma!

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Beauty near Pine Bluffs!

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

After several days of tranquil weather, we’re back in the game! Watching towering cu in Cheyenne, WY…

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

So. Much. Dust. South of Lamesa, TX…

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Beautiful, rotating storm near Ropesville, TX

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Another day in the field! Watching towers go up in Wolfforth, TX…

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

What a day. It’s 11:00pm, we just got into our hotel rooms, and are about to scarf down a quick Mickey D’s for dinner. But totally worth it! This storm near Darrouzett, TX went tornado warned just after taking this picture and produced an insane wall cloud and later crazy ⚡️

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

This storm north of Clayton, NM is giving us fits. Just when we were ready to bail on it, it decided to get its act together…

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Watching a tower rise west of Boise City, OK

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Multicellular convection kicking up dust southwest of Fort Stockton. Probably going to bail on today and head north where we expect better conditions tomorrow…

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Wrapping up the tourist thing in San Antonio before blasting west to hopefully catch some late day convection…

@cemacey240 Hail collected at: 300 W Main St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Riding out some 1.5” hail in Fredericksburg, TX. Don’t worry, Avis, we’re under an overhang!

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

@cbsaustin Yes to all.

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

Mean tornado-warned storm near Menard, TX. There was a reported tornado on this beast, but we think it might’ve been a gustnado only.

[Adam Kalkstein @AdamKalkstein]

It’s amazing how a broken seat in first class can snowball into us not getting into our hotel in OKC until 10:30pm (I started at 4am). From a broken jetway to airport lightning lockdowns, it just wasn’t our day! Cadets are in good spirits, though, and we’ll target west TX today.
