This may just be me but the notch in the line from Newtown Grant to Yardley/Ewing looks a lil… suspect to not be tor warned, let alone even have a tor possible tag.
Any day a Texas team loses is a good day LETS GO KNICKS WOOOOOOO
Did you know air temperature can actually feel hotter than what the thermometer reads? The Heat Index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in. Find out how hot it feels by using the chart or the Heat Index calculator found at: weather.gov/safety/heat-index
Aaaand tornado emergency. Incredibly fascinating supercell, yet horrifying. It’s taking full advantage of the volatile instability available.
Tiff Fortier@tornadotiff.bsky.social · 4mo agoGlad I’ve been tracking this cell since it initially entered Illinois. But good GOD that is nasty. Very defined debris ball too. Please please seek shelter if you’re northeast of this cell. #ilwx

I’m a renewables meteorologist with a focus on solar energy. I love hearing this news. Solar energy is clean energy year round! ☀️
Rep. Jared Huffman@rephuffman.bsky.social · 4mo agoThere you have it: solar is now generating more energy than coal. That didn’t stop Trump from lighting $700 million taxpayer dollars on fire to try and prop up the coal industry. But the proof is there. Solar is cheaper, cleaner, more reliable.

The Knicks doing so bad in game 4 is gonna make me crash out
Friendly reminder to please prioritize your mental health. Don’t let anyone minimize it.
I was sent this image and was asked about my own opinion on the “supposed mega nino”. 1st off, holy clickbait. Not all strong El Niño events are the same. 2nd off, are the “model update heart palpitations” in the room with us right now?The spring predictability barrier exists for a reason. 🤦🏼♀️
My health anxiety seems a little better about the whole “complex cyst in my boob needs a biopsy” type situation today. Just gotta keep myself distracted in the meantime until I get my official answer in a week. In the meantime show me your pets/fur babies 💕
Mammogram and ultrasound today shows I have a bilobed complex cyst of ovoid shape but they want to do a biopsy on it. Which will be next week. They told me my cancer risk is low but I still cried in my car.
To my ladies: No matter your age please please please routinely check your biddies. It can save your life.
Tiff Fortier@tornadotiff.bsky.social · 8mo agoWell this is fun. Yesterday afternoon I felt a pretty big lump on the northern quadrant of my right breast. My heart SANK. Without hesitation I called up my PCP immediately and they were able to fit me in early this morning. Now I’m waiting to schedule my mammogram and ultrasound. Prayers. 🙏🏼

During my hiatus: - was converted from contractor to full time permanent several months early AND got a raise - recovered from a back injury and placed 2nd at NC State Champs during a historic snowstorm - thought I was back in NJ with b2b weekends of wintry weather extravaganza and 20:1 snow ratios

The air in Charlotte feels very tense compared to last week.
Last Thursday, on our 10 year anniversary at sunrise, I said yes to forever to my best friend and love of my life 🥹🩷 #engaged
Hey so to the person shooting off fireworks after midnight on NOW July 5th, please stop okay thanks
The House just passed the One Big "Beautiful" Bill. Here's six key takeaways from REPEAT Project's rapid analysis of the bill on what passage means for U.S. energy costs, investment in new electricity supplies, and greenhouse gas emissions. #OBBB 🔌💡
Second time living in Charlotte (5th year overall) and I still get a bit of culture shock whenever I come across anyone wearing cowboy boys with a ten gallon hat 😵💫 aren’t we in a city?
That’s the craziest boundary layer interaction I’ve ever seen
