Traveling in California for #Christmas (especially #SoCal)? Do it tomorrow! Wednesday and early Thursday will be very dangerous. This is what NWS Los Angeles has to say. Strong winds will also be an issue. Intense flooding and mudslides are likely, especially in the mountains. #CAwx #socalstorm

With the leaves starting to fall, that means more cold fronts + low pressure systems, and the opportunities for #severe weather. More #tornado shelters are being added regularly, so this should be shared to save lives. The map is at findyourtornadoshelter.com and keeps expanding.

My new business cards are in production. The information is in the front of it. My name and information are on the rear. I've added a WeatherCall NexGen QR Code as well. Thoughts while it is still being developed?

When you watch the skies for fireworks, you will see an incredible array of colors. What produces them? Chemistry!!! It's a good #science lesson for the #FourthofJuly. You'll see them on the Periodic Table as well. No matter how you feel, science rocks! #scicomm #fireworks #TheMoreYouKnow

4 million views and counting. I have put thousands of hours of work into my #tornado shelter map over the past 3 years, and I know it has saved lives (based on testimonials). I never imagined this when I started it. I appreciate so much the support from everyone. #EMGsky #WXsky #AcademicSky

A product I have a working partnership with is Storm-GPS, which is a corridor-specific storm tracking system. I'm happy to set you up for a trial. With it, Somerset (KY) had its #tornado tracked within 1 mile with 28 min. notice last month. London (KY) had 50 min. notice. #KYwx

Back in March, I received this testimonial about the work I do with my #tornado shelter operation and mapping. It's something I keep reading - and I know there have been other stories this spring, even if I cannot be directly attributed to them.

This was aired a few weeks ago, but I forgot to post here images from an interview with @13abc.com that I had with @dansmithweather.bsky.social. It related to the #tornado shelter issue, both nationwide and in NW Ohio, and how my map is very useful. Link to video: www.13abc.com/video/2025/0...

These are the #tornado shelters that are known to exist in the threat area. Not too many in the area of greatest concern - they become far more abundant farther south. I'll look in the morning to see if more do exist. Map at findyourtornadoshelter.com - please share!!

With more #severe weather likely later this week into next week, I'd appreciate any information and tips on missing #tornado shelters on the map at findyourtornadoshelter.com. There are over 2,200 on the map, but I would like to find out about more if possible.

There aren't many known #tornado shelters in what is now the highest threat area (partly because basements are more common, but not everyone has them). More do exist farther south, where the threat may increase with later outlooks. This is for Monday's threat. Maps at findyourtornadoshelter.com.

Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @ccstormwatch.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
As far as Monday, it looks to be a 2-pronged event. First, in the warm sector and early on, numerous tornadoes (possibly an outbreak) are likely, some significant and long-lived. With time, the threat should expand farther south and east with a squall line - damaging wind and #tornado threat.

Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @ccstormwatch.bsky.social · 25/04/2025
Things are looking more concerning for early next week, especially for Monday. Indications are that a significant #severe weather threat will exist across a broad swath of the Midwest. All threats will likely be in play, including significant tornadoes. Still fine-tuning needed for specifics.

Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @ccstormwatch.bsky.social · 25/04/2025
There aren't that many #tornado shelters in the threat area in the Midwest, but there are more to the south. It makes sense because there's a lot more basements, however, not everyone has them even in areas where they are more common. This is the map for Monday. Map at findyourtornadoshelter.com.

These are the known #tornado shelters in today's threat area. They worked wonders on Wednesday and they are there to do so again if they exist in your community. Contact your EMA for specifics. It would be great to share this too. Map + locations at findyourtornadoshelter.com.

These are the #tornado shelters in and near the recent PDS tornado watch. They are likely opening or now open - if you're in a mobile home or otherwise uncomfortable, they are excellent options. If any are missing, send me a message and I'll add them. Map and locations at findyourtornadoshelter.com.

These are the #tornado shelters in the area in today's area of concern, as well as some zoomed in perspectives. Given the threat level, they could save lives. For locations, you can check them at findyourtornadoshelter.com. Very useful if in a mobile home or uncomfortable.

Here are the #tornado shelter locations inside the risk areas for today and for tomorrow. Since there are so many, you should zoom in on the website to find more. The map is at findyourtornadoshelter.com. About 30 new shelters have been added since yesterday.

Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @ccstormwatch.bsky.social · 14/03/2025
In the threat area tomorrow and especially Saturday, there are more than 1,000 #tornado shelters. These could SAVE LIVES for many people if tornadoes hit their communities. I've also zoomed this map into areas of higher densities of them. Locations are mapped at findyourtornadoshelter.com.

I was featured today in a story on WKRN in relation to the #tornado shelter availability in #Nashville and Middle Tennessee (of which there aren’t that many). With a major severe weather threat this weekend, the issue has come back to the front page. Additional interviews are planned soon as well.

These are the #tornado shelter locations in the threat areas on Friday and Saturday, both a wide shot and zoomed into the maximum threat areas. Now is a good time to research them - and more could be added before the event as they are identified (you can help!). Maps at findyourtornadoshelter.com.

Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @ccstormwatch.bsky.social · 10/03/2025
The #severe threat late this week into the weekend continues to increase, and the SPC is starting to introduce stronger wording. The areas and the timing will be fine-tuned, and we aren't confident enough yet on supercells vs. QLCS. However, a #tornado threat will likely exist as a result.

These are the #tornado shelters in the area under the threat tonight. Most of these will open as they are needed, even though it will be overnight. Go to the map at findyourtornadoshelter.com to find the exact locations. Remember to have a way to get alerts! Also let your friends know. #OKwx #TXwx

These are going to be overnight storms for many. You may be wondering - how will I know? Take comfort in that a simple phone call can tell you if a #tornado is coming or a warning is issued. Sign up for WeatherCall NexGen, and you'll be ready for $15/yr. Scan and you'll sign up.

Here's the #tornado shelter map in relation to Tuesday's #severe weather forecast map by the SPC. Notice that there's a lot of them in some areas, but there are also large gaps. It's possible I am missing some (I added one new one today) so I'd be happy to get some more up and ready.

These are the #tornado shelters in and near the threat area for next Tuesday. It is possible that more locations will be identified - help me out and I can add them. (Map at findyourtornadoshelter.com) It's rare to see a Day 7 SPC outlook area. That said, the specific threats remain very uncertain.

Scan this and you'll be signed up for WeatherCall NexGen. You'll get a phone call if #severewx is coming and text alerts for lightning and watches. Another call if a #tornado has been sighted. It's not an app...it's a phone service and useful any time of day or night, for only $15 for a year.

In Saturday's #severe threat area, the southern part has far fewer shelters (none in Louisiana). However, northern and central areas in Mississippi and Alabama have many of them. Now's a good time to know where the closest one is to you. #LAwx #MSwx #ALwx #TNwx #GAwx Map: findyourtornadoshelter.com

Tomorrow's #severe (and #tornado) threat is well covered by tornado shelters in central Alabama, although the coverage of them decreases dramatically farther south and west. Map is at findyourtornadoshelter.com - you want to know before you go where the closest is. #ALwx #MSwx

Remember the Rolling Fork, MS #tornado in 2023? Storm-GPS identified the track through its direct corridors with over 15 minutes advance warning. Right down to a tee. That additional warning could save many lives. You should try the system yourself - I can help in setting you up. #EMGSky #WxSky

Do you know what county (or parish) you are in? Or that you are visiting or driving through? It's very important to know since #tornado warnings are issued by such. These are maps, with the county/parish seats, of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. #ALwx #MSwx #LAwx

This would be the #FireWx equivalent of a PDS Tornado Watch during an SPC High Risk day. However, a spark is needed to allow such to develop, and they are often man-made in these setups. Stay out of the backcountry, and definitely don't light any kind of fires! #CAwx #CAfire #SoCal

An isolated #tornado threat will exist across southern Louisiana, mainly along/south of I-10 and I-12 from Lafayette to Slidell. This area includes Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Instability is low but shear is sufficient and warm air pushes ashore. #LAwx

It's quiet now, but won't be forever! If you want to try out a radar system that can pinpoint #severe weather to street level, Storm-GPS is for you. Here's a few OLD examples of it in action. Ideal for storm chasing groups, emergency managers, utilities, fire, 911 centers, transport and more.

Thanks to additional research, I was able to increase the number of #tornado shelters on my map in Russell County, KY from 2 to 7. Sometimes I just have to dig deep. South-central Kentucky actually has quite a few overall. From what I've heard, more are in the works too. #KYwx
