The WMO Hurricane Committee has retired the name Melissa because of the destruction it caused in the Caribbean in 2025. It will be replaced by Molly on the list of rotating names.

Broward County Transit purchased 42 electric buses from a California based manufacturer for $54 million
The electric busses don’t work, broke down every 600 miles and the company went bankrupt
Now these $54 million dollar busses paid for by your taxes just sit here abandoned

Wow, caught the lunar eclipse (blood moon) this morning. I guess that’s one advantage of waking up at oh dark thirty.

@jojozawawi @WeatherNation I agree. But then I would ask, is this fire "extremely bad"? Because it looks a certain way, does that make it "extremely bad"? :-)
English
@CraigSetzer @WeatherNation One of the definitions of the word "horrid" is "extremely bad." Many, many words in the English language have multiple definitions. One finds the appropriate definition and correctly applies it to the sentence.

NEW VIDEO: Horrid scenes along I-75 in Florida's Everglades as the National Fire continues to blaze. The fire has grown to just over 24,000 acres & continues to burn with zero containment established thus far.

@CraigSetzer @WeatherNation Sensationalism . All in all, I’m glad we traveled after our Ft Lauderdale Celebrity cruise last Saturday to Naples

@CraigSetzer @JackLinFLL Like with orange county fire rescue, said fire is named by a street name or something to do with the location.
English
@CraigSetzer I know they do it on other states but the buggy fire was the first one I noticed having a nickname around here. All I remember is people informally calling them by the MM they started near. Like the MM39 fire. It will be interesting if every lightning fire gets a name!

Almost desert like dry air flowing down the peninsula today setting the stage for high fire danger and a cool night tonight. Spring is a month away, enjoy this while it lasts...

@BrowardCounty Every time I’m sitting in traffic, or red light when there is no cross-traffic, I think about 8 years ago, when I was told how things would improve with more taxes.

While sailing today came across some sailfish. Didn’t know they are so jumpy.

@JDross44 @GoBrightline Thanks for the update. Hope they’re okay

@CraigSetzer @GoBrightline Train vs pedestrian in Broward County is causing the delays.

While using the “crew entrance” to board Silver Ray in Ft Lauderdale this morning, somehow got behind a balloon procession. Despite a few loud pops, made it on board just fine to meet with the Captain and bridge team. And no, I didn’t stay for the sailing but wish I could have

@ChrisMartzWX Meanwhile, "most extensive sea ice in 15 years" x.com/chigrl/status/…

oil, fuel >> Iciest Baltic in Years Threatens to Cut Russia Commodity Exports The most extensive sea ice in 15 years around Russia’s key Baltic Sea commodity ports could curb a chunk of the nation’s vast exports program because of a shortage of vessels that can cope with the conditions. From Monday, the key oil terminal of Primorsk, and the Vysotsk fuel port, stipulated non-ice-class ships had to have individual ice-breaker escorts, according to orders from the two facilities, published on the website for the administration of Russia’s Baltic ports. The Gulf of Finland, home to 40% of Russia’s seaborne oil exports, is now mostly covered with ice and the affected area continues to grow, according to Alexander Kolesov, chief weather forecaster of St. Petersburg. The icy conditions, combined with a shortage of vessels with strengthened hulls, are complicating exports of crude, fuels and other cargoes from the region, according to five people involved in the industry.

Two years ago, CBS News reported on a brand-new study suggesting that the Arctic could become “ice-free” within ten years.
CBS said the same thing 16 years ago.
