So I’m shopping for a coffee table and spotted this beauty. Can’t help imagining it sitting in a box of staging decor somewhere. What’s the over/under that it boots? 😂 @ismh86.net

If Apple wins the US broadcast right to this, I wonder if they’ll put their fancy cameras in all of the cars like they did for the F1 movie, improving broadcast quality for everyone. No idea if that’s even practical, allowed etc.

These severe storms will likely be somewhat isolated, but could occur even at lower elevs & will have good chance of generating large hail (>1 inch diameter) & strong wind gusts (~65+ mph). Given local terrain/topography influences, could even see an isolated tornado. #ORwx #WAwx

Sudden shift to very wet conditions in NorCal with strong & very slow-moving atmospheric river poised to soak region in coming days; flooding likely in north - Weather West
A dry autumn to date in most of California! But hydroclimate whiplash to come... It did turn out to be a much drier than average autumn across most of California and the Southwest after all (except the northernmost part of the state). Well, that has been true through mid-November, at least--though it's going to change
