A sad day for @washingtonpost readers as the standalone Metro section in print is eliminated and folded behind Style. As a lifelong Washingtonian and veteran of the Metro staff, I always admired the Post's commitment to covering Washington as a community not just a capital.

Come join @AP, @CKaster, @BrittanyKPeters and scientists as we drive into hail storms to better understand the underappreciated weather extreme that causes $10 billion a year in US damages apnews.com/article/hailst…

Ping. Ping. Ping. AP takes you into the heart of a hailstorm with storm-chasing scientists to find out how better to forecast & reduce the annual $10B in damage. Join me, @BrittanyKPeters & @CKaster inside a Texas hailstorm. Hear it. See it. Feel it. apnews.com/article/storm-…

@RCowley185R @BrittanyKPeters @CKaster silly man. We were there with 60+ scientists, who we talked with. We have video (below), photos, gas & hotel receipts. It's plain foolhardy and ignorant to say it's lies. What kind of reality do you live in? So sad. Bye.

Putting this article to good use while I do my laundry today. Thanks to @anthonyted for the fun idea and edit, @Jake_Seiner for his help, and the great Carolyn Kaster on the photos. apnews.com/article/laundr…
