August 28th, 1990: 1990's deadliest tornado carved a devastating path through Plainfield, Illinois. The F5 damaged or destroyed over 1,000 structures and produced extreme ground scouring. Twenty-nine people were killed, and 350 were hurt. Dr. Fujita personally surveyed this event.

Chicagoland is the statistical derecho capitol of the world. And for some reason, the south suburbs and NWI often seem to take the brunt of many of these events. I have personally experienced quite a few derechos in my life, including some rather notable ones.

Exciting results from my #32SLS talk include the ability to faithfully represent rapid, near-storm environmental response to supercells. Our 3-minute analyses yield a dang near spot-on inflow evolution of the 23 May 2022 Morton, TX storm over a multi-hour window.

A PhD isn’t about “mastering a particular literature and making a contribution to it.” That’s a MS. A PhD is about whether they have made deep enough connections to be able to ask novel questions, design novel experiments to address them, and identify the new questions that arise from that.

Gonna be some "Belgium is that good" talk and you don't have to fall for these lies. USMNT fell head first into a trash can here, Belgium just accepted the win that was there to accept. Didn't need to get out of 2nd gear.

June 30 - July 1st, 2014: A "one-two punch" derecho event impacted much of the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. The most continuous and intense damage occurred over eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and northern Indiana, where some locations were affected by both storm systems.
