@bobdirects @ryanweather Your confusion is exactly why they recommended removing the center line, and why it is an optional parameter on the website graphics.

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

@bobdirects @ryanweather Right, because the line is misleading. It is a MEDIAN point of where the center of the storm COULD go. Anywhere in the cone is where the CENTER of the storm could go, not just along the center of the cone. Everything to the edges of the cone is a possibility.

@Microsoft - whomever is making all the changes to the choice fields in Power Apps and Dataverse, could you just stop please. This moving target SUCKS!

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

My options? Don't do that - let the user make the choice. Yet, the user should not have that power, and I want the values to be absolute to prevent bugs!

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

I don't know who is working on @microsoft #PowerPlatform, specifically #PowerApps, but what you have done to choice fields is driving me INSANE. Copilot is supposed to help surface the latest information, yet it keeps giving me old documentation and code that will not work.

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

I am working on the last bit of an application, just trying to move from one choice to the next automatically, to keep track of where we are in the process and I can't do it programmatically. At all. Everything fails. I can't be the only one doing this!

This post has become a fascinating Rorschach Test. What strikes the vast majority as a commonsense remark has ignited identical, angry responses from both ends of the ideological spectrum.

TEXAS FLOOD: There are many questions about the tragic flash flood on the Guadalupe River late Thursday night and early Friday morning. The death toll is now over 50, including some children who were at Camp Mystic.

Here are some key points about the warning process...

*A flash flood watch was issued for Kerr County at 12:41a CT (just after midnight Thursday night). The watch mentioned isolated rain amounts of 10 inches, and stated "Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks." This followed a flash flood watch that was issued Thursday afternoon.

*A flash flood warning was issued at 1:14a CT For Kerr County, which mentioned "life threatening flash flooding of creeks, streams, and rivers".

*A flash flood "emergency" was issued at 5:34a CT for Kerr County and the Guadalupe River.

*NWS Austin/San Antonio had five on staff during the event; normally two would be on duty. Extra staffing was planned before the event started.

*This type of flash flooding on the Guadalupe River is nothing new. Similar events happened in 1998, 1978, 1935, and 1921. This year's event was related to deep moisture from a tropical system (Barry) that originated in the East Pacific and made landfall near Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, on June 29.

Social scientists will do much research on this in coming months and years. In my opinion one of the primary problems is the high number of false alarms; flash flood warnings that are issued with only minor flooding involved. This is also a problem with tornadoes in many parts of the country. I am very thankful locally NWS Birmingham leads the nation in lowering the false alarm ratio.

One takeaway is the importance of having a NOAA Weather Radio at every home, business, and any place where there are large number of people gathered (like a camp on a river). I would imagine cell service is very spotty along the Guadalupe where the camps were located. NWR does not use cell service and will wake you up. The alert is very loud, and can't be missed.

Again, I ask that you keep political rhetoric off the comment section here; left wing and right wing extremists are pushing false information and narratives are not close to the truth. Now is simply the time to support families that are suffering after the tragedy.

We will have a long discussion on this event with the WeatherBrains crew tomorrow night. In addition to the audio podcast you can watch it live as well on the WB YouTube Channel: https://t.co/pEMFNVP8hl

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by @DeptofDefense and @NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from 3 weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond https://t.co/0Zk92kjKNB

@DiabloHeights @MichaelRLowry @DeptofDefense @NOAA Nobody else here remembers that. Maps on paper grocery bags. I was a kid, GenX. All the younger generations, no idea that even happened.

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

@MortyIsReal @MichaelRLowry @DeptofDefense @NOAA Except everyone uses this data, including your AI models that you mention. You think they just randomly come up with it? You have to start with ingredients to create a recipe. They just took the ingredients away and said: good luck! 🍀 No replacement ingredients.

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

@DavidAlGregory @MichaelRLowry @DeptofDefense @NOAA Yeah, except EVERYONE uses this data for their forecasts. You think every company is putting satellites up to collect the data? Literally a one stop shop just got closed.

[👾 weatherangel @weatherangel]

This is so dangerous for hurricane season. It doesn’t matter what you use to track the storms. Every single forecast track has the potential to be widely incorrect and the cone is going to take a hit. This puts forecasts back YEARS.

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.

It’s time to say goodbye. You can find me in the sky. It’s a bummer, indeed, but it is time to leave. The platform isn’t what it was, and hasn’t been for a long time. There is history here, and that’s the only reason to have stayed.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

@newbiedm @ONLYinDADE Depends on how many people are going to challenge Darwin on the tracks in a month.

@glitchedheart She is 4 years older than that battle.
84… just retire, stop trying to die in office. I can’t believe these people are just not retiring… I wonder how many over 80 white hairs we have in office now?

@ValforNevada My girlfriend works in a pharmacy. They are seeing zero denied claims this morning, when usually close to half are denied/requiring prior authorization. Everything is going through today.
