Given that there was airbag deployment, the vehicle was likely being driven. It will still be very interesting to read what the survey will say though.

It will be very interesting to see in the survey what the assessment of that silver Mitsubishi Mirage is. Hard to tell if it was parked or being driven.

I would tend to say that, if it was parked, it was not parked where it is in the picture.

Storm damage in Villa Tasso.

@WCSOFL & @WCFRFL are currently in the area of Magnolia Street where a severe storm caused multiple down trees and power lines.

@rzweather Vividly remember that day, I was out riding my bike when Mobile County decided to become tornado ally on a marginal risk day

@rzweather No rain for like three months until I plan a trip, maybe I should plan more to help with this drought

@rzweather Presumably outdated server/processing systems. Website still has an early 2010s feel to it.

Would have to imagine that site upgrades aren’t anywhere close to being discussed given current budget restrictions.

@BrandyGriswold @rzweather @NWSMobile @spann In the Ashley Plantation neighborhood off of Quintette

Damage caused by a lightning strike in my backyard here in Pace, FL.

[Sean McAllister @nwfltracking]

@rzweather We’re all good, the actual house has been struck twice before so we’re (unfortunately) used to it

[Sean McAllister @nwfltracking]

@rzweather Can confirm the loud thunder as my power is out

[NWS Mobile @NWSMobile]

🔥Dangerous fire conditions are expected tomorrow as ongoing drought and gusty winds may result in rapidly spreading fires. Please follow guidance of local officials and use extreme caution. Any fires that do start may be difficult to control and spread rapidly. #mobwx

@SchlobohmAsa At least it’s not the full county this time

If AMS 2026 has taught me 1 thing about weather comms it’s that we must combat clickbait and misinformation on OFFENSE by calling it out directly. It won’t go away as long as people get rewarded by $. Most dangerous when it comes from large accounts including certain degrees mets

While driving down 98, I was in awe at how well Mexico Beach had recovered. It has rebounded into a beautiful beach town with plenty of people walking along the beach and throughout the area in general. It is amazing to see the level of resilience and recovery here.

[Sean McAllister @nwfltracking]

On October 10th, 2018, Hurricane Michael made a direct hit on Mexico Beach, Florida at category 5 strength, becoming the first category 5 to hit the continental U.S. since 1992.

Today, I had the honor of visiting this small beach town.
