#OTD 10 years ago I witnessed my #1 tornado of all time near Chapman, KS. Documented this tornado for 90 minutes from start to finish across its 16 mile path with multiple close range intercepts and a singular tornado taking on about every shape and size possible. I’m not sure this tornado ever will ever be topped from its benchmark. I’ll remember this chase for the rest of my life.

"Get a @_BoltHunter" they said, "it'd be fun" they said. They weren't wrong.

Talk about most documented lol... Here's data from the Bolt Hunter @Healey_Photo was using at the time (in Night Mode). The brightest part of the return stroke lasted only 60 millionths of a second!
One of the most documented lightning bolts? I captured this in 4K at 120 fps from inside my car just north of Pawhuska, Oklahoma, on 4/26. The strike was so close I felt gravel hit my arm, and moments later I saw the road on fire. Not long after, other storm chasers started reaching out about the bolt. I later got to see the same strike from the car behind me, captured by @300MphEF5, along with an incredible high-resolution photo from @Healey_Photo. This was from the same storm that produced the twin tornadoes near Foraker just before.

Finally we're hearing from local @NWS WFOs what has been quietly circulating over the last few weeks. A @NWS reorg underway now with absolutely NO invited input from the NWS partners. This is unacceptable.

can't understate how crucial the next few days are
"Qatar expects all Gulf energy producers to shut ​down exports within weeks and drive ‌oil to $150 a barrel, the country's Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times in an ​interview published on Friday. "Everybody that has ​not called for force majeure we expect ⁠will do so in the next ​few days that this continues. All exporters in ​the Gulf region will have to call force majeure," Kaabi told the FT." #OOTT

Indiana has just introduced Senate Bill 27 to raise taxes to pay to support the Bears new stadium wishes, surprise surprise ... "Fiscal impact statement on Bears stadium bill outlines millions in tax increases" Indiana taxpayers, enjoy
bears only care about money. that's it. that they prioritize handouts over location/their fans says everything. i hope the bears move out, let indiana's taxpayers pay to have them. can't wait to see the Hammond Bears & the look on their face when they pay NIPSCO rates

$98 billion in planned AI data center development was derailed in a single quarter last year by community organizing and pushback, according to Data Center Watch, more than all disruptions tracked since 2023.
