I am so tired of certain individuals saying every nor'easter has a chance to be a "bomb" cyclone. They are doing this just to generate clocks. #badmeteorology #nor'easter

Also since 94' the widespread use of the wsr-88d.

I forgot to mention the explosion of reporting tornadoes in tropical systems.

2 reasons, increased awareness of QLCS tornadoes since 94', and in the past few years, the introduction of EFU tornadoes.

A peaceful view of the Jan 26th, 2026 snowstorm in Wichita, KS. #djidrones #BKdronesllc #djimini

Sorry, that is not possible.

I havent really used an SLR much. And I am still getting used to the Osmo. I havent unlocked its full potential yet.

A tripod is a must for night shots. I used a DJI Osmo 5 pro for the Aurora shots. Play around with the exposure time.

My theory on the #Venezuela Oil grab. Its all about keeping China in check. Without the Venezuelan oil imports, China's army cant move or attack. Thats the end game.

Well there goes the Peace Prize. He should also give back his FiFa Peace Prize participation trophy.

Russ Vought (piss man) tweet about doing piss man shit: The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway & any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? πŸ‘‡

NCAR does a whole lot more than just climate research, and I think calling it a climate research lab paints an incomplete picture. Atmospheric chemistry, severe thunderstorms, radar, software and tools, etc.

Let me get this straight, #Mizzou A Hardy has more yards, and almost as many TD's as J. Love, but Love is a #Heisman finalist? #HeismanSnub

Seeing the #aurora #northernlights from NW Wichita, KS. Spectacular! Best I have ever seen. #BKDronesllc

So far #Mizzou is playing against 2 teams. #aTm and the Refs.

8 months ago I had a vision: what if we had a unified, track-based dataset of all severe events?

Still a lot of improvements I can make to the algorithm itself, but otherwise, looks like we have one now. I can't wait to see what we can do with this πŸ‘€

New stat suggestion for the #NFL. INT category for WR/RB, especially for balls that are tipped balls or obvious catchable balls. Shouldnt go against the QB.

Zollers played admirably. Shows some promise going forward. #CFP chances are probably over, even if they win out.

The #Mizzou season may be spiraling the drain late in the 3rd Q of this game.

What a disaster. No TD, Beau is lost, looks like Tib/Fib fracture.
