I don’t sleep

[Skyla☈ @SkylarJwx]

Currently pursuing my emt certification to then become a firefighter. Let me tell you I have never been happier in my life. I do miss meteorology, but I’m glad I made this choice.

How it feels having failed to pursue a meteorology degree

[NWS Wichita @NWSWichita]

Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected late Monday, with all severe hazards are possible. There remains some uncertainty on how this event will unfold, stay tuned. #kswx

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted, unleashing lava fountains soaring more than 1,500 feet in a stunning wing-shaped formation.

Praying for Kansas. Just took this picture outside of Plevna KS at 23:56

One of the harshest realities in the world of weather are these facts:

People still die/get hurt in significant weather despite you screaming at the top of your lungs.

People choose to act or not in the presence of severe weather.

The average person does not think about the dangers of weather on a day to day basis.

The natural human disposition believes bad things won't happen to them until it does.

Significant weather at night will always be more deadly than severe weather during the day.

People do not understand that if the most significant risk is not over them, then they think they will be fine.

On the left is a high-resolution satellite image from April 28 of Somerset and London, Kentucky, USA. On the right is a satellite image taken today, May 17.

The line you’re seeing is the evidence of a large, violent tornado which obliterated everything in its path on May 16, including the thick green forests which once stood.

[Josh Morgerman @iCyclone]

Cutting National Weather Service funding so offices are grossly understaffed, and then being surprised an understaffed office didn't get life-saving tornado warnings out, is a uniquely 2025 level of stupid. We get what we pay for.

The eye of the Arnett, OK tornado, captured by one of our UAVs as it collected scientific data on the environment within.

[Ben Williams @ben_williams_wx]

This tornado prompted the tornado emergency earlier near Essex Iowa…

[Hunte☈ Fowkes @StrmchsrHunterF]

Freaking neat.

Despite being an essential part of a severe weather forecaster’s toolkit, hodographs have a notorious learning curve. So, I have put together this 3D animation as a visual aid to help those new to hodographs understand what they’re showing.

🚨#BREAKING: A person in a Pikachu costume was captured on video fleeing alongside other protesters from riot police during anti-Erdogan demonstrations

📌#Antalya | #Turkey

Watch as footage taken from Antalya Turkey, captures the bizarre moment when a person dressed as Pikachu runs alongside protesters run away from riot Turkey police . This comes as thousands of Demonstrations have erupted across multiple cities over the past week in response to the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. The Pikachu-clad individual was cheered on by Turkey’s Republican People’s Party on X, which remarked that even Pikachu isn’t immune to pepper spray.

[NWS St. Louis @NWSStLouis]

Debunking Weather Folklore: It is NOT recommended to open your windows to "equalize pressure" in a tornado. By doing so, you only open the interior of your living space to invite tornadic winds inside the structure. This will surely lead to more devastating results.

Looks like a nuclear fallout map 💀

[NWS Weather Prediction Center @NWSWPC]

Here is the latest on the winter storm that is likely to produce widespread heavy snow and ice from the Central Plains to the Mid-Atlantic this weekend into early next week.

@ReedTimmerUSA I’m glad my town has something meteorologically important to its name
