20 years ago today, a group of 12 @UAlbanyDAES students intercepted the Spencer, SD F4 tornado. We traded our video of the storm to the local CBS station for their damage survey footage. Both videos are staggering reminders of the awesome beauty and terrible power of nature.

Looking for ROI in hurricane forecast improvements? “These improvements imply an annual per-hurricane cost reduction of $700,000 per county, or $5 billion per hurricane”. nber.org/digest/202409/value…

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Hurricanes are more powerful than human technology. “If meteorologists could stop hurricanes, we would stop hurricanes,” says @ProfCorbosiero. “If we could control the weather, we would not want the kind of death and destruction that’s happened.” apnews.com/article/weather-c…

Control the path and power of hurricanes like Milton? Forget it, scientists say

In the wake of hurricanes that have disrupted lives for millions in the U.S., some people may wonder if extreme weather events could be somehow controlled.

Lightning enveloping the eyewall is typically a signature we only see in the most powerful hurricanes.

An extraordinary amount of lightning within Hurricane Milton's eye wall this morning. Milton is now a powerful, Category 4 storm.

Just hours after #HurricaneBeryl ripped through the Windward Islands as a major Category 4 storm, it has strengthened even further, making it the earliest ever Category 5 storm in the Atlantic. @UAlbany's @ProfCorbosiero shares her thoughts via @AP ⤵️ pbs.org/newshour/science/wer…

We're in literal hot water this hurricane season

The powerful storm Beryl is acting more like monsters that form in the peak of hurricane season thanks mostly to water temperatures as hot or hotter than the region normally gets in September,...
