this twitter shit is going to be a huge blow to the NWS alert system, especially for people without weather radios/cable.

like. tons of people use twitter to stay aware of warnings in their area, and the NWS uses twitter to see where they may need to survey for storm damage.

on top of this major news accounts watch the timelines intensely during breaking news issues and will retweet things that are currently happening, such as tornadoes, floods, and fires to keep their followers aware

in the case of tornadoes, a lot of people won't shelter without enough stimulus, and a lot of the stimulus people need is visual confirmation of a dangerous tornado in the area.

twitter was /excellent/ for seeing proof of big scary storm in your area.

i just

dont like how we might lose this, especially since a lot of older people relying on twitter aren't the most tech savvy otherwise.

I think the weather situation is more than concerning right now. if I weren't stuck in a constant apocalypse-expecting mode, I would maybe actually be worried.

so today, 18th October, the temperature situation has been the following: near-zero degrees Celsius at night, 14°C maximum during the day. quite ordinary for the season here. BUT. forecasts say that on Friday, which is less than 48 hours from now, daytime temperature is to be expected at 28-30 °C, with a nighttime lowest above 20°C. and it's not a mistake. all different forecasts say the same.

I have no idea whether such sudden changes are normal in some other parts of the world, but for us here they are certainly not.

funny thing is, in the past few weeks I have outlined some serious weather anomalies for my writing, just to bring a little apocalyptic scare to my poor babies lol. (just last week I introduced a new character who studies global weather phenomena). life imitates art.

Where do people now go to get detailed weather info?

I used to check the #cowx tag on twitter for up-to-the-minute info from all the weather nerds, but now I’m not sure where to look. Local news affiliate websites are THE WORST for actually trying to read anything of relevance, and none of the large weather sites (.gov or .com) have the microcosm view that I enjoyed from twitter.

I guess I mostly need to know where are people posting their photos of snow-covered patio furniture and complaining about flickering power because we have had about 8 inches of slushy snow (that feels more like a Spring snow than an early Winter snow) in the past couple of hours and it’s still snowing at a steady pace, so I want to make sure the power flickering isn’t just in my mind.

But I also want it to be the same place where the weather nerds sigh and point out to all of the metro area reactionaries that are like “WTF, a foot of snow in like an hour???? No one told us it was going to be this bad during rush hour! THE INJUSTICE!” that the meteorologists kept telling everyone out that this was a tricky storm to predict and snow accumulation predictions may not be totally accurate, but hey at least they were right about there being some accumulation.

Anyway I guess you should anticipate a snow-covered patio furniture picture from me in the morning, because I have no where else to go.

(Hmmm. Maybe I should attempt Instagram again?)

#perks of having this week off is I don’t have to be out in this slushy mess #tbh that’s also a perk of wfh #whatever the point it is I am still curious about the rush hour impacts #even if I no longer have to worry about rush hour either way #weather stuff

With what happened in Mississippi last night I know I'm gonna see people hit it with "well it's tornado season so we're used to this shit, it's not a big deal!" and "who cares it's a red state lol"

1. Most tornado seasons have small spin up twisters and not monsters so clearly defined on radar they are textbook examples of a supercell, plus most tornado season twisters don't track on the ground for almost 100 miles.

These were night tornadoes, which are the most dangerous kind, and the largest tornado of the night was wide enough to wipe a few towns off the map completely.

2. Mississippi and Alabama are two of the most vulnerable states to tornadoes, and not the kind you see in tornado alley. They get obscured by forests and hills on top of being rain wrapped, making them hard to see. Especially at night.

3. Both states have a large black population, and both states have large amounts of people under the poverty line living in mobile homes or homes without basements. People under the poverty line are more likely to be disabled or not have reliable transportation on top of living in homes not of sound construction.

4. Many of the towns hit were smaller, rural towns. Some don't have good internet or cell service. Some don't even have tornado sirens.

5. Both states are red because of voter suppression and jerrymandering. You should take this into consideration before writing off an entire state's worth of people who are suffering a natural disaster outside of their control.

6. Actually you should never celebrate or be ambivalent to an entire state or population of people suffering from a natural disaster. There's no correlation between natural disasters and how "good" a person or group is. Thinking like this is for jackasses and will rot your brain.

So idk what to tell you but maybe you should fucking care about other people who are hurting and going to be hurting for a long time. Some of these people may have had their lives completely ruined and lost all they had. Some towns may never recover and simply vanish off the map.

There's been over 20 fatalities already and the sun only rose an hour or so ago.

edit: made this post while i was half asleep, and i am going to clarify here;

point 3 is being made as such: don't fucking clown on an entire states worth of people.

the south isn't just white racist hicks or whatever people like to stereotype it as, there's a lot of different people who just happen to live there, including a large population of minorities living in one of the poorest areas of the damn country.

and even if it were just white racist hicks or whatever the fuck, you still shouldn't clown on a state or minimize human suffering

to the person who added "you're saying if the state was all white this wouldn't have happened?" you are a fucking moron taking this post in the worst faith I have ever seen.

natural disasters don't work that way and it would have happened if the conditions were favorable for strong tornadoes anyways, despite location.

my wording wasn't the best due to me having just woken up and being full of emotions i couldn't process, not everyone is good at words and I am sorry if I'm being a jackass here.

But the point stands: DON'T BE A JACKASS ABOUT AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE WHERE THEY ARE FROM.
