Tornado damage in Winterboro… photos from Bill Castle

From Anna Donner “My parents house in Gordo. In the video you’ll see the safe room was the only room intact. They are lucky to be alive, God was with them.”

Heart-wrenching scenes are emerging after last night's powerful EF2 tornado ripped through Talladega County, Alabama. This morning, a school bus was found overturned on the roof of the severely damaged Wintersboro High School.

Exciting to have Michael Fischer to share his hurricane research at the UAH AES seminar and BLM class. Students showed high interests in the TC-RADAR dataset and future AI applications of aircraft observations. A long Q&A session is the proof. Way to go, Professor!

The Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane #Milton (October 5-10, 2024) has been posted on the NHC website. Milton was one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, reaching category 5 intensity with a minimum pressure below 900 mb. Milton made landfall near Siesta Key,

Well after about 3 weeks of reinstatement, I, along with other probationary employees at NOAA, officially got "re-fired" today (6 weeks after the original firing) after a temporary restraining order was lifted by an appeals court earlier this week. What a wild and silly process

Need to sound the alarm on this one. As I understand it, this is from the "President's Budget Request", which often isn't really used that heavily by Congress (who actually controls funding). But this would essentially end all research and development within NOAA and NASA if

The last BLM class in SP 2025. Students had fun by sharing the 3 most important things they learned! Go, chargers!

Another image from last nights (4/24/25) tornado that occurred NW of Miami, TX. My wife snapped this photo. I don’t think it could get anymore classic than that, #txwx #tornado #supercell

the greatest show on earth

Reed Timmer and crew just zero metered a tornado near Huntsville, AL. 👀

Insane #tornado intercept spins the Dominator after Will Clay shoots a sensor by air cannon into the violent vortex. This will give us ground up data inside the tornado LocalMan Weather

Check out this camera angle of the #tornado intercept with LocalMan Weather capturing the impact of the violent #tornado core. It spun the Dominator 3 while in park either 460 or 100 degrees. I thought we were airborne for a split second but the Dom3 did its job! Will Clay

BREAKING: Widespread auroral displays possible in the northern/central U.S. and much of Europe! NOAA is now forecasting a *SEVERE* geomagnetic storm – reaching G4 level on the 1 through 5 scale – on June 2. That corresponds with Sunday night/Monday morning U.S. time.

Inside the EF3+ Spiritwood, ND wedge tornado near peak intensity from our research drone!

The official NOAA "budget request" to Congress (which is a detailed version of the "President's Budget" would be devastating, and basically end all research and development. Purportedly, the proposal moves a lot of weather research and development under NWS, but doing so while

It's hard to adequately summarize how destructive NOAA's 2026 proposed budget released on Monday is for hurricane forecasting, but I crammed all I could into today's newsletter. I encourage everyone with interests along the coast to read it carefully. michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/noaa-propose…
