A few lightning highlights from this year. Photos that are finally “finished” and will be available for prints at some point soon. I can remember all of these moments clearly in my head, and I cant wait to chase more bolts and get that rush again in 2025. #wxsky #photography
Bullfuckingshit what reality do these people live in

I can’t believe this is even a conversation. Shutting down radiosonde sites will cost orders of magnitude more $ via poorer forecast skill. NASA’s GMAO keeps tabs here: gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/forecasts/sy...
Being a piece of shit is just instinct for that dude
Solid 4 hours of offroading, recovery, cleanup, and bullshitting with locals around Rover after we all found ourselves trapped by several tornado damage paths earlier tonight.
That is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Definitely a vantage I gotta go for sometime
I was kinda waiting for this. Europe is dying to become the science powerhouse of the world
Also, is that photo taken from john hancock?
I was heavily considering sticking around for it, but i think STL might actually be a much bigger payoff
I drove >75k miles last year, I’ll re-register out of state or move over that one for sure.
Can we make or appropriate a slur for these dipshits
That kid has posted some of the dumbest shit I ever saw in my life when I still used twitter. Absolutely garbage human being with no clue how the world functions

That little black spec on the right hand side of this infographic is the total budget of the NWS. How is eliminating positions that exponentially increase economic dividends through enhancing commerce and mitigating/preventing disasters saving money or eliminating waste/fraud?
Rahm has always been a raging piece of shit idky this is even surprising to anyone
Did not expect to see a bunch of Chinooks from 160th flying over Lake Michigan
It works because even the post was messed up!
Looking forward to the definitely no consequences as we approach a major tornado outbreak
New: Layoffs underway of probationary employees at @noaa.gov Unclear so far how many were exempted for public safety reasons at the Nat'l Weather Service, NOAA Satellites and other units. www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.
Nothing says the sun is rising in North America like geomagnetic activity increasing.

Finally wrapped up working on my car and wondering why my hand hurts so bad since its not the one I’m usually wrenching with. Trip over my sledgehammer and suddenly flash back to full blast smashing my fist against the hub I was removing a lug from and feeling suspicious of the lack of pain.
2025 bout to be CRAZY for you my dude. I feel it
I hope IBEW and UAW see their opportunity to become the hardline labor forces of this country. The Teamsters were sold to the CEO’s and someone has to take up the slack and be louder than SOB
Sean O Brien got his position campaigning as a hardline workers rights fuck everyone else type of guy, then immediately fucking folded for the establishment the moment he had a chance.
A significant part of the problem on my end is probably that I’ve interacted with those posts so they get pushed to me (same as when i block AI on fb and now my whole feed there is AI if i ever log in) but theyre almost always pretty viral posts
