@JLaDue Yep, that statement in the interview does not match the text of the bill…

Just awful. 😢

Official statement from the FAA:

“A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local time. PSA  was operating Flight 5342 for American Airlines"

@thestormandsky I had something similar happen very recently when my power supply failed and hard drives on the SATA ports lost power. Windows took forever to boot, etc. Fixed by replacing power supply and doing a system file scan/repair.

@danrothenberg Hmmm, the main issue to me to be seems to be the lack of precip below the base for such a well- developed Cb that is close to glaciating

Quick reminder that the term "bomb cyclone" is not a new term, nor was it invented by the media - it's been in use since at least 1980 and used in academic literature to talk about storms that develop extremely rapidly:

Nice viewing of the comet from the foothills west of Boulder tonight! A few unedited shots from my Canon 6D. Exposures range from 4-8 s with ISO 3200-6400 and a variety of focal lengths. Antitail clearly visible! Hope to do some better editing and stacking when I get a chance!

[Daniel T. Dawson II @Meteodan]

Thanks for your contribution! (And I just want to chase now, too!)

Great job @storm_spotter_K !

@kileyqallen @AMSSevereStorms @ametsoc Great job on a very important topic!

[Kiley Kortright @kileyqallen]

Very proud to have had the opportunity to present my M.S. work on handling the lower boundary in supercell storm simulations this morning at #31SLS! & thanks to everyone who woke up early to watch!! 🌩️
