The 2025 storm season is getting started right away. Folks stay weather aware today please the main threat is wind. Stuff on your lawn like chairs and other stuff may get tossed. If you're in a tornado warning go to shelter do not wait.
This is a QLCS weather event (quasi-linear convective system) this means that the storm can move 40-60 miles per hour and with that can bring strong wind gusts. If a tornado warning gets issued do not go outside to see it. It will most likely be rain wrapped
Statement from Colt (founder of OKTDB):
Earlier tonight a great deal of confusion happened to spin up regarding our #ProjectEnlil and the progression of the efforts of Tornado Talk to continue their own mission in honoring those that have been affected by these horrible tornado driven disasters across the U.S.
While our teams are not familiar with each other, Jen and I are. We have had and continue to maintain a great collaborative and professional relationship. We both find it striking that it seems to be a fait accompli that this has to be a competition between these various brands and groups. No such "battle" exists, and it never is going to. Jen and I both come from a place in which competition has no home. In the core of both of our intentions is a mission to make sure the souls we have seen affected are never forgotten. When we first worked together during the COVID lockdown, it was apparent that all hearts and minds were in the right space and they have only gotten stronger in that space.
When "fans" of pages/storms/etc stoke the flames of drama or engage in competition it does not reflect the values of either myself or Jen. @TornadoTalk and @OKTornadoDB have and shall continue to work collaboratively to assure the descendants and victims of these storms that they shall never be forgotten. We hope to educate and empower future generations of like minded creators.
I encourage you all to contribute to and join us both on our journeys. The positive that came of this is that Jen and I have agreed to work together again to give BOTH groups' projects the best chance at total success in the endeavor. We thank you all for your support and contributions over the years.
Thank you!

#Helene is going to begin rapidly intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico very soon. As of right now, NHC expects a storm surge of 12-18 feet in the landfall area. Helene is expected to intensify all the way until landfall. All preparations need to be completed by this evening!!
