The most incredible sight in the #universe (according to me, anyway). #eclipse #totality @… https://t.co/uzJG9Aspo9

Coming briefly out of Twitter retirement just to say, Go ECCCO!! 🚀🛰️☀️🙌🎉🍾

Delayed by missing crew on our rebooked flight. No info in the airport. No follow-up by @united. I suppose they don’t monitor Twitter mentions, probably because they have laid off everybody in customer service or something. They must’ve, because their service is nonexistent.

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

And of course now @united sent our bag on without us, stranding us needlessly without clothes and many other necessities, just to make things even more annoying. It’s hard to imagine a worse top to bottom customer service experience than we had last night and today.

Finally, my daughter got so upset about this that she threw up. With all of our clothes headed to Denver. So she has nothing to change into. So thank you very much for turning a bad night into a horrible one, @united. You guys are the absolute worst!

The level of incompetence and failed communication by @united tonight was absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. They owe many, many people both a significant apology and compensation.

So turns out @united said the flight is back on… after dozens of people were out of the secure area. The @TSA checkpoint closed, stranding many people, even splitting up families. This is the worst airline experience I’ve ever had.

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

One @united baggage agent, the only United employee we could find anywhere in this godforsaken airport, is helping us. At a minimum, there are a few awesome people out there who will help somebody in need.

Now I’m the airport they are telling us the flight is cancelled, but on the @united website it says it is going. Wtf? How can the communication be so totally screwed? What a joke!

So @united just gave us some food vouchers for our massively delayed flight, but literally every store and restaurant in the airport is closed. Thanks for the meaningless gesture!! 🤣🤣🤣

I think I’m finally leaving this flaming pile of garbage and moving over to https://t.co/ewyv2jHgAl. Who is already there? Who’s coming with me?

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

@mitchellbyars Anybody who lives in Colorado knows that the only way to explain the size of a boulder is to compare it to another, different (or in special cases, same) sized boulder!

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

@MiddleCorona So proud of you and all the long-overdue recognition you’re finally getting as a vital part of the Sun’s atmosphere, buddy!

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

This work has been a long time coming. So glad it is finally out! #middlecorona

@ArianneTillay True, but several inches of hail is really extra super weird.

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

Kind of weird in #Boulder atm.

[Tomer Burg @burgwx]

Rotation spotted right on top of the @NCAR_Science Foothills lab @NWSBoulder

@grampapaishere Um, yes, it is. More energy in the atmosphere to generate severe storms is one of the central predictions of climate change models.

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

@chrisvanderveen Sure, why not?

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Significant flooding now as severe hailstorm continues in Boulder. #cowx

[dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @dbseaton]

@BoulderCAST “Some” hail — talk about an understatement!

[Boulder Police Dept. @boulderpolice]

Be careful out there #Boulder cause this ain’t snow #HailNo
