There’s one man left to sign for the Detroit Tigers to really bolster their offense…

If you really believe in “chemtrails,” then you also certainly believe that the world is flat and that we didn’t land on the moon. 🤡

@IffyTheDopester Walking out and seeing the field for the first time and also seeing the Bird pitch - I believe that was in ‘80

$199 is about $1,800 in 2025 dollars. But worth every penny to watch the Tigers in color win the last no-playoff World Series in '68! Oldsters, when did you first get a color TV?

@GrossWeather Somewhat related - if you have a vehicle with CarPlay, Radar Scope Pro now has a widget you can see a radar snapshot on your infotainment screen.

By your logic, give me a call to perform your next medical procedure, as I know a little something about medicine. 🙄🤡 Comments like yours further affirm the increasing lack of scientific literacy and critical thinking skills in society.

Lori4USA@Lori4usa

@GrossWeather Actually we all have some knowledge of science. We live it everyday. Libs always pushing us to NOT believe our ears and eyes. Typical. We don't have to be scientists to know the climate change theory is a hoax! It's all about money as usual!

@GrossWeather Paul, is this legit or an anomaly?

(Cont.) Just to be clear, I do not expect anything nearly as organized later today as what we saw early this afternoon. If you have outdoor plans, keep a close eye on radar to stay on top of this: scattered-to-isolated storms are still a severe threat.

(2pm Saturday) Answering the question about more storms later, once these storms blow through, the sun will come out again and destabilize things again. Scattered storms, possibly severe, are possible the remainder of the afternoon into early evening. #miwx

@GrossWeather I asked - she was at her uncle's house and could see the funnel cloud and debris field. Heard the typical freight train sound and was close enough to hear people screaming. Uncle's house was ok, but direct neighbors lost their homes. (quick summary)

Paul Gross@GrossWeather·19 Haz

Wow…would love to hear her story someday.

Dave D@DaveFloatOn

@GrossWeather Thanks Paul. I’m in the path watching close. At a panicked Moms house (she was in Beecher tornado)

Still seeing weak circulation in the storm headed toward Dearborn. Nothing too ominous…just need to remain alert in case we get a brief spin-up.

Not aware of an app that streams that audio. You need a @MidlandUSA weather radio…

@PatThiede @ChadLivengood It's sad, because I really enjoy the reporting.

English

Pat Thiede@PatThiede·19 May

@DaveFloatOn @ChadLivengood There are so many talented writers, who write on content I'd read, but they're spread across country. The moment I see a paywall, I'm out. I'm not going to pay for all the papers in Detroit, Dallas, Nashville, Miami, South Bend, etc. If they aren't blocked I love the content.

English

Chad Livengood@ChadLivengood·19 May

A digital paywall is no different than a newspaper vending machine or a kid hocking papers at a street corner. You can't get the content unless you pay. It costs $1 to read original, in-depth reporting: subscribe.detroitnews.com/offers?gps-sou…

@PatThiede @ChadLivengood I hate to say it, but I agree. Too many free sources to justify paying for any number of the hundreds of sources available. I do miss buying 2 or 3 papers a day, and had no problem paying for them. I really hope the "newspapers" find a sustainable model, but paywalls are not it.

English

Pat Thiede@PatThiede·19 May

@ChadLivengood Except that's old way to think of it. If you read from many different sources and locations, people aren't going to register at 200 different papers. The moment I see a paywal, I rarely go back to that source. Eliminating paywall has potential to increase traffic dramatically.

@GrossWeather Thanks Paul. I downloaded Radar Scope years ago because of you and I'm glad to learn about this!!

Paul Gross@GrossWeather·16 May

(Cont.) How do we know there’s a touchdown at night when nobody has seen it? Because of this radar product called Correlation Coefficient (“CC”). It analyzes the uniformity of the targets aloft. Falling rain/snow are fairly uniform. Debris is not. (Cont.➡️)

A few thoughts about Thu night: 1. As has happened before this season, we were saved by timing…pure luck. Significant severe storms weakened due to nighttime cooling. This won’t always happen…in fact two of our biggest SE MI 🌪️ outbreaks this century were at night. (Cont.➡️)
