Was digging through Highland Weather archives during the #Hurricane #Helene time, and found this video I posted when I was helping clean the River Arts District 2-3 weeks after Helene. Here is the footage, as it was lost in the YouTube videos: youtu.be/or8xH5DuxC0?si…

11:20 AM- We are watching a threat for both severe weather and localized flooding Thursday as #Invest90L will move through the viewing area. A slight risk for excessive rainfall remains for the mountains and SC, while a marginal risk remains through the entire viewing area.

@spann This is why I say “Gulf” in my posts from now on to avoid any sort of drama from either side.

THE GULF: Let’s have a quick discussion this morning about “the Gulf”. Earlier this morning, I posted the tropical weather outlook from the National Hurricane Center, which referred to the “Gulf of America”. I immediately received some nasty messages from people calling me everything from some type of “phobe” to a “racist”. Last season I made the mistake of calling it the “Gulf of Mexico”, and was quick called a “libtard” and “communist”. In an ocean of mindless intolerant political extremists that are not capable of critical thinking, they are always looking for a reason to attack someone, I guess this isn’t surprising. In early 2025, the U.S. government directed federal agencies to use “Gulf of America” in certain official U.S. contexts, and some U.S.-based maps and documents adopted that terminology. It is used by all National Weather Service agencies. However, many countries, international organizations, publishers, and maps continue to use “Gulf of Mexico”, which has been the standard name for centuries. I do my best to simply say “the Gulf”. No doubt I will slip up and make the mistake of saying “Gulf of Mexico” or “Gulf of America” at times this hurricane season. I am asking that you have a little grace here. I don’t do politics here… I’m sorry. I am just a weather guy passing along information, sometimes very important. Thank you.

I had the honor and privilege this evening to present in front of Rotary to speak about my operations at @HighlandWX. I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity!
