@ItsRobbAllen I'm just sorry you had to leave your church. That's a very personal affront. I know of some who were involved with the formation & structuring of bylaws for the Global Methodist Church, which many former-UMC congregations have migrated to, and I hope this can be a bridge for you.
The famed @UnionPacific Big Boy, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, chugs east through Allen County, Indiana on its coast-to-coast tour in celebration of America's 250th anniversary.
🕰️Today marks the start of our multi-day stretch of EARLIEST Sunrise time of the calendar year. From now through the 16th, that 6:13 am figure will remain on display.
On the 17th, it will tick forward to 6:14, as the Sunset time continues stretching slightly for another couple of days through the 20th. #etxwx #txwx
The Reflecting Pool at the National Mall is nearly full on Sunday morning after weeks of construction as part of President Trump's push to restore Washington, D.C.'s iconic landmarks.
Saw the movie today!
Regarding D-Day to JFK:
“We had better meteorologists than the Germans”
Dwight D.Eisenhower
I absolutely loved this movie! Never saw a movie where the meteorologist was the hero!
SHV issues Severe Thunderstorm Warning [wind: 60 MPH (RADAR INDICATED), hail: 1.00 IN (RADAR INDICATED)] for Camp, Franklin, Titus, Wood [TX] till Jun 7, 1:00 AM CDT https://t.co/9gxaeUJSaM
That really is a question that's getting NATIONAL attention in the face of this kind of event. Most of the time, it slips under the surface amongst all the other news of an election day. But this way, it's on full display for the world to see, and for anyone paying attention, this is bananas and screams third-world corruption.
I can't echo this loud enough. We had enough challenges with trying to forecast in the Spring of a transitory ENSO cycle without being also blind to the upper air data to the west.
Who can't agree on trying to better equip the weather industry? #etxwx#txwx
The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.
This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
🚨PRIDE MONTH🚨
The Texas Rangers are the ONLY MLB team not acknowledging “Pride Month.”
The Rangers are again not hosting an LGBT night event.
Instead, on June 18, they will be hosting a Faith and Family Night.
According to their website, the event will feature “personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.”
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
