Today is the 50th anniversary of the Big Thompson flood of July 31, 1976: one of the deadliest disasters in Colorado history. An intense rainstorm led to a rapid flood wave down the canyon where many people were commemorating Colorado's centennial. 144 people lost their lives. #cowx 1/

This is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

June 2023 pales in comparison to this event. There were ~3 total monitors back then that recorded a 24-hr AQI in the Hazardous category (all in PA). Yesterday there were dozens affecting tens of millions of people

Scientists--if your funding was cut over the last year (for research on climate, global health, DEI, LGBTQ or womens health, etc) but you managed to keep the research going, I want to talk to you for an upcoming article! Plz contact me: gewin at me dot com. Re-posts appreciated!

It’s important to take a beat & say it out loud. This is the president of the United States. How undignified. How diminishing of our country. You wouldn’t let your kids talk like this, so why are you willing to tolerate it from the leader of your country?

So this covers individual radars, and @stormscale.io 's Heimdall Radar site covers MRMS. Both easy to use, free, and fast! No having to launch a script, no visits to multiple sites or opening multiple programs. Just awesome tools!

I'm happy to announce the launch of malpais.app, a free NEXRAD/TDWR radar viewer that lives in your browser. malpais downloads Level 2 or Level 3 data from NOAA's Open Data Dissemination archives and renders it in WebGL on your desktop or mobile device. For free.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

I'd like to introduce you all to a personal project I've been working on recently. It's called Heimdall, and it's an MRMS + ProbSevere situational awareness monitor for CONUS scale severe weather. It's got roaming, alerts, archive mode, and is fully client side. heimdall.stormscale.io

I’m very excited to announce the latest release of SHARPlib, v1.4.0. This might be one of the coolest updates yet (in my opinion) and results in dramatic performance improvements through the use of pseudoadiabatic lookup tables. Available on PyPI/conda-forge. github.com/keltonhalber...

I miss the band Dopapod.. they were solid. They come up every so often in my playlists and it makes me smile. Saw ‘em a few times at intimate venues in Madison

The current heatwave in the US Southwest is utterly destroying many records for this time of year. Phoenix, Arizona has ~90 years of daily temperature data, and yet recent temperatures beat the previous March record by 5 °F (2.8 °C), and would actually tie the record for April.

Plot wrapping daily maximum temperature history for Phoenix, Arizona for every year since 1933, and showing the anomalously high temperatures in 2026.
