@ChrisMartzWX Fiat currency is not the problem. Deficit spending is. Governments with metallic currency have failed throughout history. We have a moral problem, not a monetary problem.

@NWSLittleRock "satilitte" ????

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@Drewshearer444 @Grok, what does this mean in terms of the likelihood of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Little Rock area?

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@ConvChronicles Unfavorable for who? Storm chasers or everyone else?

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@JamesBryantWX I'm guessing that this means that you strongly disagree with StormNet's prediction based on currently available data? I sure hope you're right. That bullseye right over LR is not good.

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@WxZachary So are we going to stop all tornado chasers and get them off the road, too?

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@weatherninja Wrong tornado. That pic was from the Moore tornado (2013?).

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@StormNetWx Oh, and another two to the south, one in the blue and one in the gray zones.

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@StormNetWx 4 of the tornadoes were in Iowa, well outside of the probabilistic bullseye, with three in the blue "Low" risk area and the remaining one apparently right on the border between the blue and green "Medium" risk area. Is that acceptable or does it warrant further adjustments?

@RonDodson We've had satellites in geo orbits for 50+ years. Satellites at that distance lose resolution, which can partially be made up with technology. Whatever tech China is using is prob a copy of what we've been using for 20+ years. GEO/LEO both have advantages and disadvantages.

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@Brady_Wx Are StormNet's forecasts and maps available to lay people or just Wx?

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@StormNetWx As a layman, am I correct in concluding that that differs a bit from the SPC's forecast for Friday? If so, it will be interesting to see which one ends up being more accurate. Love your work! Keep it up!

@JakeAuch Did you give this same speech during the wars started by Clinton, Obama, & Biden?

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@RonDodson I'm missing your point, Ron. "Real" photos have been misused and abused since photography was invented, or was that not your point?

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@WxZachary When I was a kid in the 60s in Germany (my dad was in the Army), I loved watching the contrails high in the sky left by US aircraft. Little did I know that they were actually spraying chemicals in order to subjugate all of us. 🙄🤣

@marcthiessen Does this set a precedent for charging transit fees through the Straits of Gibraltar? For all passages within 12 miles of a coast?

@ToddYakoubian @ToddYakobian Can't get it to work on your websites. It works on mobile devices & TV app, but not websites. It matters because I'd like to watch it on my second computer screen while working on anther.

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@WxZachary Great suggestion! I had already done this by printing out a county map of AR to keep handy.

[David Spoede @DavidSpoede]

@ToddYakoubian Todd, you can't retire! We're not going to let you, buddy. Plan on riding into the sunset still in the saddle.

@DataRepublican @DOGE_GSA @PunchbowlNews @AndrewDesiderio @DOGE_OMB Great post, @DataRepublican Many conservatives demand term limits, but ignore the staffers, where the real power lies, and who have no term limits. Any Cong'l term limits has to be accompanied by staff term limits or some other restriction on staff power.
