@TattedIrishGuy @bboyer_boyer @SleeperHQ Every time it comes down to player safety - "_____ has gotten soft". 🤔

It’s always “you’re autistic” and never “thank you for telling me that there’s a tornado in progress in Oklahoma”

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this week.

Together, we raised over $100,000 for storm victims, reached more than 7 million people, and hit over 150,000 concurrent viewers during our coverage.

The weather space online is growing in ways I never imagined, and I’m honored to be a small part of it. Thank you for watching, sharing, donating, and caring.

@WeatherNation Youre welcome to share it. Sheltered as it come over town. Just incase 🫡

View of the storm yesday just NW of Riverside. Baby tornado #IAwx

@FreddyMcKinneyR Was listening to the stream. The reason so many ppl were outside in riverside was school normally lets out and they were waiting for their kiddos. The school kept kids inside. But most parents didnt see the email on delayed release.

Science-y post: let’s talk about the visible APPEARANCE/“STRUCTURE” of the aurora you may get to see if a G4+ “severe” geomagnetic storm occurs tonight.

Auroras are located 60-150+ miles above the ground in the thermosphere, high above the ozone layer. The reason we see glowing gases (plasma) is because gas molecules are “excited” by a bombardment of energetic solar particles.

Stronger/more energetic solar particles burrow deeper into our atmosphere. The strongest ones ionize nitrogen molecules (N2), causing hues of violet or even blue. Weaker ones can’t make it as deep, and ionize oxygen. The lowest-energy particles, corresponding to the highest part of the atmosphere (since they can’t penetrate as deep), cause red.

That’s why the aurora isn’t one color. A single pillar may be blue or purple at the bottom, then mostly green above, and frosted with pink or red at the top!

If you live in far northern areas, you’ll see a mix of everything, especially green, IF the aurora manages to shimmer overhead. You might even see the “corona” effect as you stand directly beneath auroral pillars/columns. The motion will be impressive… reminiscent of garments on a laundry line fluttering in the breeze.

Most folks across the north central U.S. will probably see green columns of varying vibrancy. You may see some red at the top.

And lastly, those in southern areas will see mainly a red glow. Why? You’re the farthest away, so you can only see the top of the aurora. And it’s red! That’s why most photos from the southern United States have shown only a red “homogenous arc.” You won’t see any motion either.

This is the soundtrack to Taylor Swift's new musical. As she moves through the different Eras of her, Life as a Showgirl, she can throw in appropriate parts of hit songs. And she can play herself. This will be her new tour. #TaylorSwift #Thelifeofashowgirl

Matt Campbell re-enters a press conference to talk about why Iowa State sometimes wears black.

He's responding to K-State's AD cracking a joke yesterday at a pep-rally about ISU not knowing its school colors.

[TUSS @MatTrierweiler]

Appreciate the guys coming over to the East side of the state! Pretty damn cool! #Cyclones #CycloneFootball

[Hunte☈ Fowkes @StrmchsrHunterF]

Every single person in the US needs to go outside tonight. People in the Bahamas are seeing the Aurora. This is unreal. Everyone outside tonight!!!!
