Correction: the plume from the ground appears to be the #Airportfire which started recently today

The #Linefire from the sky and the ground 😬

@KManleySci @STOTEN_journal Congrats Kyle!

More than 10 inches of rain has fallen across the Los Angeles area since Sunday, with plenty more to come. Significant flooding is ongoing and expected to expand/worsen as rain continues to fall. Don't put yourself in harm's way, turn around, don't drown!

@janewbaldwin Thanks, @janewbaldwin!

Just to emphasize how poorly hurricane & global models performed for Hurricane Otis... here's the intensity forecasts initialized 24 hours ago, with the dotted black line showing verification:

@savferretti Thank you!! :)

For the first time ever, a tropical storm watch has been issued for California. Never thought I would have to think about a tropical storm here in SoCal! #CAwx

I had the amazing opportunity to take part in the @CLaSH_org Graduate Summer Field Course last week! We looked at post-wildfire erosion and flood hazards after the Cameron Peak fire. Such a rewarding experience with incredible people!

[CLaSH @CLaSH_org]

🏔️ Day 3 of the CLaSH Summer Course is in the works!

Our students are out in the field conducting data surveys around Colorado State University's Mountain Campus.

Great example of bringing climate science to risk modeling - @uciess Prof. Baldwin @janewbaldwin + @WorldBank @columbiaclimate => open-source model to help countries w high cyclone risks calculate how storms will impact people & economies
