I get off the plane in Dallas for my 3 hour layover and the FIRST thing I see is pappasitos and pappadeaux, which are my all time childhood favorite Mexican or seafood/cajun restaurants from my childhood in Houston. Yes, I WILL be having one of these at 8AM. God is good!

I hope my younger brother knows I love him because this departure time is brutal. Excited to see him graduate and officially become METEOROLOGIST Chandler Pruett! It’s been a long time coming.

Ladies and gentlemen, remember the bet with the father-in-law? Well, the results are in. It’s May 1st, and the seasonal snow total stands at 29.5” of snow. I’m grateful for the snow we DID get, and I can’t wait for this free dinner? Where should he take me? 😂

Active shooter at Mount Horeb Middle School in Dane County, Wisconsin

This past weekend, I achieved something that took me like 4 years of attempting… a full 1 year streak of reading in the Bible app!

I probably achieved this a while ago, but sometimes it would be just after midnight and it would reset. One day, I lost the streak because I used…

If this death count holds at zero, it's not a fluke.

It's because science worked.

The advanced outlooks 4, 5, 6 days out from NWS Storm Prediction Center.

The timely alerts that made your cell phones buzz from NWS Omaha.

The broadcast meteorologist on your TV, streaming device, etc.

🚨 #BREAKING : MASS DESTRUCTION REPORTED AS TORNADOS RIP THROUGH NEBRASKA

This is horrifying stuff to watch.

From the Omaha, NE Emergency Dispatch:

“Chief, we have 30-40 houses gone. We need mass casualty resources.”

As of now, there have been at LEAST 28 touchdowns across…

Shoutout to Eastview High School in Apple Valley! This was my second year in a row attending the Bravo production, and once again I’m beyond impressed! The Lightning have some EXCEPTIONAL talent, and comedy, among the student body!

40 years ago, at this time, storms were developing across the Twin Cities metro area. In a matter of minutes, devastation would occur in St. Anthony Village. Tonight, I take a look back with the St. Anthony Village Historical Society, and Meteorologist Dave Dahl, as they recount…

Omaha Nebraska today

This is one of the biggest tornadoes I can remember watching on video and the radar images look just as bad. A sturdy structure generally does the job, but you have to hope people have basements here…

Midwesterners waiting for a day that doesn’t have 30mph winds, rain and is above 50°

Fantastic news of a 45%+ increase in people in downtown Minneapolis during the most recent 12-monthly-period: the BEST recovery of any city in the nation. This is based on actual cell phone data, so is very reliable and not based on anecdotes (positive or negative).

i stopped to take a photo of the flowering trees outside the minneapolis institute of art and a woman walking by turned to me to say

“The art starts outside, doesn’t it?”

Woah!

Sometimes it snows in April - Prince

A powerful read in the NWS FWD discussion today. Everyone should give this a read

Just found out the family that owned my house in Minnesota before I did.... Is from KENTUCKY! When I first looked at the house, I was with a college friend who now lives in MPLS, and we both agreed that part of why we liked it so much was it reminded us of Kentucky.
