God’s mercies are new every morning.

America. Always. 🇺🇸

This is a chilling, eerie map – it depicts all the tornado emergencies to ever be issued in the United States... including Thursday night's. On Thursday night, southeast Enid, Oklahoma found itself under a tornado emergency. Tornado emergencies are the most urgent, life-or-death alert that the National Weather Service can issue. In the past 27 years, there have only been 316 tornado emergencies issued. The National Weather Service in Norman, Okla. issued a tornado warning for central Garfield County in northern Oklahoma at 7:59 p.m. At 8:13 p.m., they warned that “a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado was located near Vance Air Force Base, moving east at 25 mph.” The agency upgraded to a dire tornado emergency at 8:21 p.m. based on realtime video from local news stations. Tornado emergencies are only issued for the most high-end, life-or-death situations. “You are in a life-threatening situation,” wrote the Weather Service. “Flying debris may be deadly to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be destroyed. Considerable damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles is likely and complete destruction is possible.” Tornado emergencies are reserved only for anticipated catastrophic, high-end tornadoes – intense-to-violent EF3, EF4 and EF5 monsters on a crash-course with population centers. On April 27, 2011, there were 37 of them issued. THIRTY SEVEN. The tornado emergency was invented on May 3, 1999, when a mile-wide F5 tornado was barreling up the H. E. Bailey Turnpike into the Oklahoma City metro area. Forecasters knew that dozens would perish, and that entire neighborhoods would be obliterated. At the National Weather Service in nearby Norman on the University of Oklahoma campus, the warning meteorologist on duty felt a run-of-the-mill tornado warning wouldn't cut it. Their 6:57 p.m. message reflected it. The warning began “tornado emergency in south Oklahoma City,” the phrase “tornado emergency” never having been used before. The pioneered phrasing is now reserved only for the most significant events with the highest fatality potential, famously being issued on May 20, 2013, as another EF5 tornado barreled into Moore. (Joplin, Missouri SHOULD have been a tornado emergency, but infamously wasn't.) This tornado season, take ALL tornado warnings seriously – but, if you find yourself in a tornado emergency, know what it means. If you hear the phrase "tornado emergency," know that the decisions you make in the following 5, 10 or 15 minutes will determine whether or not you survive. Have you ever been in one?

A wrinkle in the atmosphere developed over the Gulf Waters on Thursday. High pressure at the surface is interacting with a mid level disturbance. Strong upper level winds should push the disturbance into So FL on Friday.

Hey @ambermruffin, I’d like to help you find all the people who you know who disappeared because of Trump. Can we get their names?

ONE OF THE GREATEST ATTACKS OF THE DEVIL IS TO MAKE YOU BUSY, TO MAKE YOU HURRIED, TO MAKE YOU NOISY, TO MAKE YOU DISTRACTED, TO FILL THE PEOPLE OF GOD WITH SO MUCH ACTIVITY THAT THERE IS NO TIME FOR BEING ALONE WITH GOD. Ignore the enemy today. Find rest in God.

@katieporterca We want your tired evil ass to “get the fuck out of our shot” just like that poor staffer of yours. Go get some help. Read a book. Take a hike, lady.

We've had enough of leaders who are bought and paid for. It's time for a leader you know only works for you.

ALMOST FRIDAY.

GOOD NEWS -> The parts of the US experiencing some of the worst drought conditions are expected to get a lot of beneficial rainfall over the next 7 days! As you know... this also comes with a severe weather risk.

Even Jesus withdrew to rest and recharge (Luke 5:16), showing us the importance of stepping away to refuel. When you pause to care for your soul, you’re not quitting—you’re aligning with God’s design for your life. Let Him fill you so you can pour out His love to others. How will you make time to rest this week?

Dads rule.

Keisha, I grew up in the projects you abandoned. You let Atlanta burn and you walked away when the city needed you. Now you want a promotion? Not going to happen.

Elevated threat of tornadoes detected for Tuesday, April 28th, 2026. See attached map for details. This forecast initialized on Thursday morning. Follow for future forecast updates.

The @Braves have won 12 of their last 15 🔥

@BuzzPatterson This behavior is very common with most @TheDemocrats elected and their appointed heads of agencies. I can name names.

Katie Porter, in case you’ve forgotten.

Critical rains coming to drought stricken areas in the lower MS River Valley and parts of the OH Valley next week. Highlighted area is where guidance indicates higher potential for 1.5"+ of rain.

Severe weather probability over the #CHAwx tristate area is less now than earlier thought. Still need to watch though. tje CSU MLP product still has some threat over us. However, a larger threat that may actually affect us is looking to be on tap later next week. See the map below and notice the strong jet we will have. One thing good. Rain is coming and desperately needed.

Dear Ilhan Omar, please stop committing fraud 🙏🏼 Sincerely, The US Taxpayer

An active severe weather sequence kicks off today and will last through next week. Out of these days, Sunday and Monday still look the most impactful but Monday overall catches my eye as you can see in the loop we have a really nice overlapping of wind ingredients over the open warm sector. This is due to an overall slowing trend we have had over the past 24 hours on models. Stay weather aware if you are in any risk area for severe weather over the coming days.
