Looking back at video I took, I might’ve spotted a landspout or waterspout near Poinciana, Florida, at 4:21pm. Very hard to tell. It could’ve been rainfall at the edge of the RFD too. Either way, SUS!

Primm's neon is going dark, possibly forever. The Primadonna Company is permanently shuttering all of its casino resorts in the small town near the California border — including Primm Valley, Buffalo Bill's, and Whiskey Pete's on July 4, 2026. Truly the end of an era.

Shohei Ohtani has recorded the lowest ERA by a Dodgers starting pitcher (0.60) through their first five outings of a season since Fernando Valenzuela in 1985, El Toro finished that stretch with a remarkable 0.21 ERA. 🐂

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A total of 74 tornadoes touched down across Oklahoma and Kansas in less than 21 hours. At one point, there were as many as four tornadoes reported on the ground at the same time. The strongest tornado, rated a maximum F-5 on the Fujita Tornado Scale, tracked for nearly an hour and a half along a 38-mile path from Chickasha through south Oklahoma City and the suburbs of Bridge Creek, Newcastle, Moore, Midwest City and Del City. As the skies cleared, the states counted 46 dead and 800 injured, more than 8000 homes damaged or destroyed, and total property damage of nearly $1.5 billion.

Reminder we have almost no observed historical timeframes for large tornado outbreaks. We have less than a hundred years of good data. This is almost nothing in terms of a historical record, and even less geologically. For all we know…
