This is Officer Brian Santos and his K9 partner Kyra from Cocoa PD in Florida. They’ve been a team since 2018.

Impressive!

@AuburnFootball @MalcolmSimmons0 In all my years I’ve never seen such lack of decent Referee’s! Obviously they’ve been paid to look the other way AND make bad calls! It’s sickening to say the least!

Every day is a new opportunity to rise above excuses and show up as the best version of yourself.

Being your best doesn’t mean being perfect, it means giving your all with what you have, refusing to settle for less than you’re capable of, and pushing yourself beyond comfort zones.

Attention Storyful, Viralhog, Jukin Media, and others in the same business.

This has happened over and over.

*People send me tornado video by private message for me to post. The video was sent only to me, for use on my social platforms.

*I post the video.

*A few days later, I get a copyright violation from you claiming YOU own the video. In many cases the original sender says they have never heard of you.

*You ask me to pay several hundred dollars to you to remove the copyright claim.

This is basically extortion. If it keeps up it will become a legal issue for you. Please stop it now.

When someone hurts you, does you wrong, if you keep thinking about it, then you’re letting them continue to hurt you. Don’t give them your power. You have to let it go. Give it to God.

When you say, “I am weak. I am tired. I am lonely.” You’re inviting the very things you’re trying to get rid of. Pay attention to what you’re sending invitations to.

Real victory is not when God does everything you like, changes all the negative circumstances, fixes all the people who get on your nerves. Real victory is when all that happens, but it doesn’t bother you anymore. You’re content while God is working right where you are.

@spann That’s not chicken livers

[Debbie H.S. @shackmomma]

@spann Sometimes I think you need to show pictures from previous years of the severe damage caused by tornadoes in AL Seems like the younger people don’t take your warnings as seriously as they should. They need visual proof of severity🤷🏼‍♀️Wasn’t it Roebuck that got hit hard around 1970?

DANGEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM/TORNADO OUTBREAK AHEAD: Most of Alabama will be dry, mild, and breezy today, but a dangerous outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes is expected across a large area beginning late tonight. Alabamians will need to pay very close attention to the weather tonight through tomorrow night as a dynamic storm system will bring two rounds of severe thunderstorms.

ROUND ONE

*The broad window for the first round of severe thunderstorms will come from around 11:00 tonight through 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

*SPC has defined an "enhanced risk" (level 3/5) for much of West Alabama for this event, with a "slight risk" (level 2/5) as far east and south as Scottsboro, Prattville, and Jackson.

*Highest risk of severe storms with "round one" will be over the western half of the state, mainly along and west of I-65. The severe threat is much lower over the eastern counties, where the air will be more stable.

*Where storms develop, they will be capable of producing hail and damaging winds. A few tornadoes are possible as well, mainly over West Alabama.

ROUND TWO

*This is the "main event"; the window is from 12 noon tomorrow through 3:00 a.m. Sunday.

*A "moderate risk" (level 4/5) covers most all of Alabama in the "Day 2" outlook issued by SPC.

*Storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. A few violent, long track tornadoes are possible.

KEY MESSAGES

*We don't use strong wording often, but in this case it is needed. The threat is real, and the event poses a dangerous situation for all of Alabama and most of the southern U.S. The goal is no loss of life, and no serious injuries; we all have a big role to play.

*It is critical that you hear warnings. An outdoor siren is never, ever a primary way of hearing warnings. The "siren mentality" has killed more people than anything else during tornado events in Alabama. The baseline for every home and business is a NOAA Weather Radio; unfortunately many retailers have sold out of them due to the high demand this week. On your phone, be sure emergency alerts are enabled in notification settings... this is the tone you hear for tornado warnings and amber alerts. Have the free ABC 33/40 weather app installed. Turn the sleep/do not disturb modes OFF for the weekend so you will receive notifications at night.

*In your safe place, have helmets for everyone, including adults. Most serious injuries in tornadoes involve blunt force trauma above the shoulders. Wearing hard shoes is also a good idea. Have a portable air horn for everyone; they can alert first responders to your location if you are injured.

*If you live in a mobile home, know the location of the nearest shelter, or business open 24/7 that can serve as a shelter. Have transportation arranged so you can get there quickly. You cannot stay in a mobile home if you are in a tornado warning polygon.

*A car is a death trap during a tornado. If you are driving and get a tornado warning notification, pull off as quickly as possible and go into a gas station, fast food restaurant, or any other business that can serve as a shelter.

*You can be a hero. If you are reading this, you pay attention to weather. Let friends and family members today know this is a dangerous threat. During the event, if you have a friend or loved one in a tornado warning polygon, call or text them to let them know of the immediate danger. You can play a huge role in saving lives.

*Subscribe to the James Spann and ABC 33/40 YouTube channels so you can watch our live coverage. During the event itself all of my attention is focused on the live coverage. We are thankful for the out of state YouTubers who do long form severe weather coverage, but to be truly successful in reaching people and communicating warnings in high end severe weather events like this, you have to understand the people, culture, geography, and microclimate of the region impacted.

*We don't share any of this to scare people. But strong wording is necessary on occasion, and this is one of those times. Get the warnings, have a good plan, and we get through this together.
