May 12, 2022:
A powerful derecho roared through the Central Plains and Midwest. The line produced wind gusts over 100 mph, spawned 32 tornadoes (five EF2s), and was accompanied by a prominent haboob. Five people were killed and the damage toll reached $1.3 billion.

What does TWC’s @GregPostel have against LeBron and Bronny? I mean, def a lot of nepotism going on there but dang. And LeBron (I’m from Akron area and not a huge fan) played amazing. No Luka and against the hottest team since Jordan’s Bulls imo.

LeBron and Bronny made NBA history tonight.
First Father-Son duo to get swept.

On this day 3 years ago, we were tucked just northeast of a tight surface low in Nebraska and caught this incredible tornado near Spalding. The day before, we also saw a slew of photogenic tornadoes on the same low in Western Kansas. Favorite chase stretch of 2023 fosho

Supercells suck

Our sonde got sucked into the updraft of the Elk City, OK storm yesterday! Not shown on the graph due to data smoothing, the max ascent speed of 41mph! Typical ascent is 9-12mph, or around 4-6 m/s. Looks like it also behaved as a hail stone on descent…. Notice the tendency for the descent rate to slow/move closer to zero? It was in the middle of the updraft at this point. I believe the upward force was attempting to slow the ascent. The sonde only weighs 100 grams. Basically it was getting sucked up. @RadarOmega @stsweathereye

@GregPostel Had that happen last year and diverted to Indy as well. 50mph cross wind and came in way too low and pilot ripped it back up just before touch down 🫠

It wouldn’t be a flight into Chicago if I wasn’t ready to puke violently upon landing followed by smacking the ground

Coolest LP last night near Chattanooga, OK. Was tornado warned, before it shriveled up here. #okwx

Had just a moment to stop and watch this pretty supercell spin near Rush Springs, Oklahoma earlier. Keep tracking these in the @RadarOmega app

Oh … and there are millions of light years *between* galaxies. And there are trillions of galaxies in our observable universe.
So … have fun & make the most of today! 😁

It’s kinda terrifying how big space is. We are effectively alone. Voyager 1 space probe, launched in 1977, traveling at ~40,000 mph, now in nearly dark emptiness, is about 75,000 years from the *nearest star*, 4 light years away. Our own galaxy is 100,000 light years across 😱

Article provides helpful context, but I take issue with the headline. It is entirely unclear we're going to see a "record-breaking El Niño". The current consensus forecast is for a Niño3.4 value of similar magnitude to 2023/2024 (~2.0C) & much smaller than 2015/2016 (~2.7C)
