Trust me, I’ve been ready for this day just as much as y’all have. Friday, we ride.

🚨 URGENT WEATHER ALERT: THIS IS THE REAL DEAL 🚨 Folks, I cannot stress this enough: Please prepare now! We have all day today (Friday) and most of the daylight hours on Saturday to get ready. After that, the window closes. This is not a "bread and milk" situation—this is a major to extreme ice threat. We are looking at a setup we haven't seen in at least 10 years, and if the higher ice totals hold, we could be looking at something we haven't dealt with in 20 years (think back to the 2002 ice storm). Here is the reality of what is coming this weekend (Sat PM - Monday): 🧊 THE ICE THREAT Look at the maps attached. That pink and purple area isn't just "snow." It is freezing rain and heavy ice accumulation. The forecast shows potential for 0.25" to 0.75" of ice. What that means: At 0.25", tree limbs snap and power lines go down. At 0.50"+ (which is possible in the darker purple bands), we are talking about widespread, long-duration power outages and impassable roads. 🛑 IMPACTS: WHAT TO EXPECT POWER OUTAGES: This is my biggest concern. With ice accumulating on trees and lines, outages are likely. If you are in the high-risk zones, you need to be prepared to be without power for days, not hours. TRAVEL: By Saturday night, travel will likely become dangerous to impossible. Do not plan to be on the roads Sunday. If you get stuck in an ice storm, emergency crews may not be able to reach you quickly. TREES: The weight of the ice will bring down weak limbs and trees. If you have large trees over your driveway or home, be hyper-aware. ⏳ YOUR ACTION PLAN (DO THIS NOW): You have until Saturday evening to get this done. Do not wait. 1. CHARGE EVERYTHING: Phones, laptops, tablets, and power banks. Do it now while the grid is 100%. 2. HEAT: If the power goes out, how will you stay warm? Have blankets ready. If you have a fireplace, get wood. **NEVER** use a generator or grill indoors—carbon monoxide is a silent killer. 3. FOOD/WATER: You don't need to panic buy, but have enough food that doesn't require cooking (sandwiches, dry goods) and water for 72 hours. 4. MEDICAL: If you need prescriptions or oxygen, secure it today. The Bottom Line: This isn't a "fun snow day." This is a damaging ice event. We have been lucky for a long time, but the data is showing a setup that demands respect and preparation. Use today and tomorrow to prepare your family and check on your elderly neighbors, then stay off the roads once this starts. Stay safe, stay warm, and stay tuned for updates. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc #iceOMG #icestorm #wxbrad

Today is a big day for @Zoox 🚗 which is opening to riders in Las Vegas! Every detail, from the carriage-style seating so you can face your friends, to the seamless way you're able to curate your journey with music, creates an incredible experience. Can't wait for you to try it!

Pumped to see @JetBlue become the first airline to sign on with @ProjectKuiper! JetBlue is a long-time Amazon and AWS partner, and we're excited to build on that relationship with Kuiper-powered Fly-Fi and transform travel for JetBlue passengers. aboutamazon.com/news/innovatio…

100+ Kuiper satellites now in orbit. Thanks to Atlas V and Falcon 9 for four nominal missions to begin our launch campaign. spr.ly/6015fWiQ3

Orbital launch no. 169 of 2025 🇺🇲🚀🛰️➕ Kuiper KF-02 | SpaceX | August 07 | 1401 UTC @SpaceX to launch @ProjectKuiper mission KF-02 adding 24 Kuiper🛰️ to @Amazon's internet constellation on its Falcon 9🚀 to LEO (Low Earth Orbit) from @SLDelta45 SLC-40, Cape Canaveral.

Another 24 Kuiper satellites left our payload processing facility on Monday, and our KF-02 mission with @SpaceX is on track to launch tomorrow, Aug. 7. For launch and livestream details, see spr.ly/6014f9LRI.

We showed up at the @wsl U.S. Open of Surfing so you could surf the waves and the web with ease 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 #wsl #usopenofsurfing #wslpartner

Our next mission is set for no earlier than Thursday, August 7. Designated KF-02 for our second launch on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the mission will send another 24 Kuiper satellites into low Earth orbit. Follow along for the latest on this and other Kuiper missions: spr.ly/6017fptyd
