@StormsOnErie I really enjoy threads but not much of the wx community / nws is not there yet.
Regarding X - Since they made changes to the visibility, I was only getting maybe 4-5 engagements per post, but usually I would get 90-500 per post.
Thanks for the info.

This Twitter change today is a total dumpster fire. Unless something changes, this platform is now pretty much useless for those of us in the weather enterprise.
Swimming in a pool isn’t the same as swimming at a beach with crashing waves, winds and dangerous #ripcurrents. Obey beach flags if they're in your area and learn how to escape a rip current if you're caught in one. https://t.co/9C3kG4NjL2 can help you #KnowBeforeYouGo!

5) Reliable social media
6) NWS websites
7) Tornado sirens (ONLY outdoors!)

Spotty rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches are possible in southern Iowa this evening and overnight from slow moving storms.
Urban/poor drainage areas would be most prone to flash flooding while long term rain deficits should limit widespread flash flooding concerns elsewhere. #iawx
