Chris and I are deep in this Brownfield, Texas cluster of storms - they are sucking in Mad Max levels of dust. It is apocalyptic around here! SO MUCH VIDEO to come! ✨🌪️✨ #OzOrBust #stormchasing @chriskridler.bsky.social

Much of the technology featured in “Twisters” was based on real-world instrumentation developed at the National Severe Storms Laboratory. If the passback budget is to be believed, NSSL will be eliminated, cutting off taxpayer funded research like that featured in this video: youtu.be/V6n8VH4C17Q

Break it, then privatize it. Building up private U.S. forecasting ability to current NWS levels after such a ruthless and foolish decimation of the NWS will take many years. Billions in costs will occur that would have been avoided had we kept the NWS intact, and many avoidable deaths will occur.

My grandfather was a Japanese linguist for the US Army in WWII. He translated intercepted Japanese military communications for the US military. Sadly, some military web sites describing the contributions of his and other similar units to the war effort appear to have vanished off the web. 🧵

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Shared with my by an NWS Meteorologist: NWS is potentially in trouble. We are struggling to get our public safety exemption approved from higher ups in the government. Without the exemption, we could face steep cuts. 1/2
