Always amazes me to go from drought to flooding so quickly. I suspect there's a clogged drain down there, but the roads around Truist Park are turning into rivers with this stuck storm. #GAwx

I have photographed multiple shelf clouds on top of the University of Oklahoma parking garage, this one was one of my favorites. #okwx #weather

Today starts the Eastern Pacific hurricane season and with a strengthening El Niño in play, it is likely to be an active year for the basin. Quiet for the next week, though. https://t.co/8U3B3J3eIN

[Sean Breslin @Sean_Breslin]

We might have a super El Niño later this year, and it might be the strongest one ever recorded. https://t.co/IeysiAfVny

Intense heat from this large wildfire in Broward County, Florida is rising so rapidly that it’s cooling and condensing onto smoke particles, creating these towering pyrocumulus clouds. ☁️🔥Ash was even found on cars in Pembroke Pines. More than 11,000 acres burned so far. #FLwx

It's concerning that the @Braves are still playing. It's been thundering for 15-20 minutes.

Amid all the negative news in 2026, how about this — a neighborhood in Oklahoma was *wiped off the map* with ZERO fatalities.

The watches and warnings happened perfectly.

The science unfolded right.

The residents did exactly what they should have.

This is so encouraging.
