@WhidbeyWXGuy @The_Weatherman2 who’s outrageous?

@SeattleWXGuy Power transmission lines in the Midwest have structures on top for lightning ground wires (bottom). In Western Washington, they generally don’t— except near substations. (top, my photo near Emerald Downs). Same for the 12,500 KV distribution lines.

@weatherchaser5 Be aware of who owns ‘X’ and where his politics lie.

@KIRO7Seattle @MorganKIRO7 Time for the media to start talking seriously and regularly about conserving water and electricity use to try to stave off shortages or power outages later in the summer.

@WestSeaWx I was a passenger on “Connies” as a little kid in the late 50’s. They were awesome. But I also remember flying through thunderstorms in them, so when DC-8 jetliners replaced them, I was not unhappy.

@northbendwx 10-day solutions calling for heat wave next weekend. What’s your take? https://t.co/0hyiS1bAyX

@angryseattle The front looks stuck, south of us.

@The_Weatherman2 What about the long term 2026 Cascades snowpack and water supply?

@wspd2pio Thank you for your service under increasingly hazardous conditions.

Ever wonder what would happen if you could create a storm that combined the immense power of the historic 1962 Columbus Day Storm with an intense arctic air mass?

See how the Pac NW pulled it off in 146 years ago this week: https://t.co/gQ3Or8EAYC #wawx #wastorm #Seattle

@vulcanez @wspd2pio Too tall a stack, especially if gust side winds develop.

@NSDwx @elonmusk Why is political crap in a feed about weather? Left or right? aha; found the <block> button.

@RandySmall I remember the No. 13, 1981 windstorm. I don’t remember much advance warning of them. Better to be safe and get people prepared than to find out when trees blow down, boats capsize in harbors, and people get electrocuted. https://t.co/npaFmlF6mE

@tomandcharl @pn_weather Think of it as good “drill” for our own emergency preparedness. Got our go-bag packed, devices charged and backed up, made provisions for meds that have to be kept refrigerated; etc. So if a surprise hits, like someone driving into a power pole, won’t be so much scrambling/

@pn_weather Wish NWS would update their 4:09 a.m. forecast discussion.
