There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME with this Asperitas Undulatus display this morning with elevated storms over Colby, Kansas!

Team #Dominator is targeting some High Plains insanity this afternoon as Colorado is forecast to cut loose with a gorilla hail and isolated #tornado threat, including Denver International Airport, Deer Trail to Limon.

The #Dominator 3 PDS rebuild has already begun!

The new hood has been removed and next the motor will be removed.

Never say die!

What a magnificent beast of a spider at Team Dominator headquarters

WE GOT DATA!

Check out this first-ever 3-D data set of wind and thermodynamics from the ground up from inside a #tornado!

With a peak wind of 131 mph measured above ground, and greater than 115 mph at ground level outside of suction vortices, it appears this tornado was at least an EF2.

This data set sheds light on the 3-D structure of the dynamic pipe from ground through the vent, showing a high swirl ratio tornado here. The vent is the powerful updraft at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe, the strength of which is proportional to the ceiling of the tornado cyclone below.

We also computed a pressure perturbation with height, with two maximum deficits happening at launch and farther above ground in the dynamic pipe.

Notice the little loop the parachute probe made at the backside of the #tornado at the same time as an RH decrease. We do not believe this is a subvortex here so far above ground.

What do you notice with this data?

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25

My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning.

Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.

His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money.

He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd.

Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Jeff Bezos cries and complains about paying taxes. Stephen Colbert gifted 2.5 million dollars to the world central kitchen to feed people. Fuck Jeff Bezos. We need more people like Colbert in this world.

[Ariana Jasmine @arianajasmine__]

Zohran Mamdani just forced Jeff Bezos to pay New York City $9 million in fines his company owed.

This is exactly why we elect politicians who aren’t bought by corporations: they actually hold powerful people accountable instead of protecting them.

We are having an emergency meeting with Jake’s Custom Diesel on the rebuild of the Dominator 3 motor.

Never say die

[AnalogtoDigital @AnalogtoD]

@ReedTimmerUSA I'd try and get in touch with the folks at Eggtimer Rocketry, they got a mini gps transmitter than runs on the 70 meter HAM band that works great.

[Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA]

I have some incredible news! The #tornado probe we launched into the St Libory, Nebraska violent twister was found! And the parachute was ripped off. We likely have an amazing data set on this probe.
They are shipping it to Will Clay.

We are still searching for the Blue Rapids area sensor

[Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA]

We confirmed the Dominator 3 needs a new motor. Sadly, it is likely done for the season.

We will continue to never stop chasing, however

[Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA]

HISTORIC #TORNADO INTERCEPT southwest of Frankfort, Kansas! We launched a sensor into the tornado and it went up past 10,000 feet and did at least three revolutions around the tornado. Incredible data on this sensor

The replies to these tweets are filled with hatred and racism. This site financially rewards accounts for farming that engagement. Whenever there's a tragedy you will find accounts looking to profit from it.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

Yesterday morning something terrible happened in Brighton. The bodies of three women were recovered from the sea. They have now been identified and their next of kin's notified of the horrific news. Sussex Police have asked people not to speculate on the cause but unfortunately high profile accounts on this site have done just that.

Team Dominator will be activating storm chase mode for conditional severe weather threats Thursday-Saturday, and #tornado outbreak potential Sunday-Monday across Kansas and Oklahoma.

Peak storm season is about to arrive across the Great Plains. Stay tuned!
