The Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory has officially launched at #WesternU. Backed by 60 years of expertise in wind engineering and climate resiliency—and a $20M gift from ImpactWX—it will revolutionize how we understand and prepare for Canada’s most extreme #weather. 🌩️ 🌪️

Thanks @WxCastle! I believe this opportunity is limited to Canadians exploring severe weather in Canada. It’s an important detail that I failed to work into the character limit in my message above 🤪!

ImpactWX Genesis Grant - Year THREE let's gooooo! The grant is now accepting applications for funding to community organizations that are developing new ideas related to severe weather preparedness, response and awareness. For more information, head here: impactwx.com/genesis-grant

@ericbkennedy @ericbkennedy, is the town of Jasper within the national park geographic boundary?

@illustratedword @CBCNews I was thinking the exact same thing. A town is literally on fire and we are being shown Canada’s village in Paris followed by news on American politics. Disappointing @CBCNews

👏🚨👏 The 2024 ImpactWX Genesis Grant recipients have been selected! Congratulations to @Archwayca, Alliance North, @EvergreenCanada & @Tbayfood- all working hard to improve #severe #wx #awareness #response #preparedness & #resilience in #Canada. lnkd.in/estv25x6

@tjfarncombe … and even then, that’s not fast enough 🤪🫠

@tjfarncombe “… because storms are fast and I am not” this made me giggle- You have to be an Olympian to outrun a tornado! #safetyfirst

It was a pleasure to Chair this conference alongside @RielZack for the benefit of bringing people together, to learn from each other, and to make new connections in our collective efforts to advance research and practice surrounding #wx #warning and #risk #communication. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Our team at @westernuNTP has been surveying major wind events across Canada this storm season! 🌪️🇨🇦 Check out all of our currently available Event Summary Maps for 2023 so far! (Thread will be continuously updated until the end of the season) 🗺️🌬️

The research team @ #YorkU is still hoping to learn perspectives of #Barrie residents impacted by the 2021 tornado. The survey will remain open until and including July 28th. Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories with us so far! #onwx @Instant_Weather @westernuNTP

There were uncontrollable sobs in my chest as I stood at Peez’uh near Pee-hee-mm-huh (Thacker Pass) where it’s being dug up for North America’s largest lithium mine. Indigenous Peoples whose ancestral territories this is that I interviewed, do not want their lands sacrificed to meet the world’s need for the “green” transition. The pain here is deep. Paiute-Shoshone were massacred here and their ancestors I spoke with told me some of them ran up this hill to try to escape. @ricochet_en @indiginews @therealnews
