Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Year to date (1/1-5/22), @nws.noaa.gov offices have issued 10,939 #SevereThunderstorm and #Tornado Warnings, slightly ahead of 2011. Of those, 2,126 (19.5%) were issued in the last week alone. I want to express thanks to my colleagues, #meteorologists, EMs, & first responders for their hard work!

What a fucking mess.
Some workers at NOAA who were fired in February, rehired in March and then fired for a second time in April, say the agency has missed some salary payments during that period, and failed to have their health insurance plans restored or provide basic paperwork.
NOAA workers report 'intentional chaos' during personnel cuts
Some of the former government employees who were fired, rehired and fired again said they're owed pay and their health plans have been frozen.

I know we always laud the SPC on big ticket days. But a day like yesterday should not go unnoticed. A somewhat sneaky tornado risk and damaging wind risk in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and their forecasts were stellar.
