Also: I am looking to grow my team in Boston and have open positions across various levels, and would love to chat with anyone who is interested in studying patterns of rare variation in large genomic datasets. #ASHG22

Reach out or find me if interested!

Interesting, Hael (sometimes spelled Hail) may well be where the word “hail” comes from. Earlier in the year it had some amazing hail storms. Weather in the Middle East atm really is seriously cray cray.

Extremely violent thunderstorm in Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 delivered enormous #hailstones.

Catastrophic damage costing over $50 million.

Short thread...

This is insane. From Brisbane 🇦🇺

One of the worst #hail storms this decade.

Some aerial footage of the damage.

While extremely dangerous, this is a nightmare for insurance.

1/n Regarding Friday's Burkburnett, TX 5.33" diameter #hail...(Photo: ToniRieScott/FB)

NOAA's Storm Events Database documented 24 other 5"+ hail events in Texas since 1950.

The last one was almost exactly 1 year ago (5/20/2019) in Collingsworth County.
2/n NOAA's database only has four other Texas events with larger #hail than Friday's Burkburnett event.

Per Christopher Burt (@wunderground), the "unofficial" state record appears to have been 6-8" hail on Dec. 6, 1892. wunderground.com/cat6/record-ha…
3/n Among these past 5"+ #hail events in TX:

- Jun. 14, 2017: Hail driven by a microburst (est'd winds up to 100 mph) hammered Odessa, TX.

- Apr. 11, 2016: 80% of Dallas suburb of Wylie damaged by up to 5.25" hail.

I'm seeing numerous--and presumably incorrect--news reports that #Guadalajara, Mexico received "2 meters" (6.5 feet) of #hail accumulation during a thunderstorm. While the photos do show extremely impressive piles of hail, there's lots of evidence in photos/video that... (1/n)
...these enormous #hail drifts are almost certainly the result of an urban flash flood during hail-producing thunderstorm, which washed huge volumes of hail ice from around city into culverts & low-lying areas. Ice floats, so it can go wherever floodwaters do. (2/n) #Guadalajara
There are numerous documented reports of very deep hail drifts due to transport by floodwaters. A spectacular example occurred in desert of New Mexico in summer 2003. During that event, flash flooding washed hail into "glaciers" 15 feet tall! wunderground.com/cat6/record-ha… #NMwx (3/n)
