April (❄️) showers bring May hail stones…or something like that 🤣. Brushing the snow off @dowfacility.bsky.social to do some @nsficechip.bsky.social testing.

Very sad news. I learned more about severe local convective storms from Chuck Doswell than anyone else. He was a friend and mentor.

LIVE: Local news crew captures fire tornado in LA. The largest of the LA fires, in Palisades, is still only 8% contained. Local news station KTLA 5 captured this fire tornado on its northern flank, funnelling flames hundreds of feet into the air. (🎥 KTLA 5 News)

Confirmed reports now of "hundreds" of cars that were abandoned by drivers on Sunset Boulevard amid frantic #PalisadesFire evacuation gridlock earlier. (Folks made it out on foot.) CalFire/LA County bulldozers are in process of clearing path for emergency vehicles. #CAwx #CAfire

Serious situation already w/#TemescalFire, which started above #PacificPalisades is now moving through populated wildland-urban interface. This is an extremely fast-moving wind-driven fire, with long-range spotting ongoing. Watch Duty link: #CAwx #CAfire app.watchduty.org/i/...

Abandoned cars on Palisades Dr about to be overtaken by the fast moving #PalisadesFire. KTLA reporter & cameraperson got waaaay too close and had to run down the hill due to flames rapidly encroaching. Can't understate how rapidly this situation is escalating. Horrifying.

Wind…or heavy rain 🤣. (Good thing the only measurement I actually care about is wind 😁). Blustery (clear) day in the foothills…and it’s not even garbage day.
