(🧵of x) September was full of surprises and all. So now we can finally show them all to you in our September 2021 #WxWrapUp. (1/7)
Tropics: The WPac had 2 notable storms. Conson (Jolina) did some notable impacts to the Central Philippines. With damages estimates reaching $1B PH, it's likely the local name Jolina will be retired. We also had the monster typhoon Chanthu (Kiko) with winds up to 180mph. (2/7)
In the EPac, things were quiet with only 1 storm which was Olaf which hit Baja California Sur & hugged the coast. They were reported damages & 1 death unfortunately. It managed to reached C2 status before all was said & done. (3/7)
And we can't forget the ATL as there was an uptick in activity with Larry, Mindy, Nicholas, & Sam being the most notable ones out of all of them. We already reached Victor as well. Nicholas did the most damage out of all, sitting at over $1B. (4/7)
SevereWx: In the early part of the month, we had quite a few tornadoes in ON. We had a waterspout the moved onshore & caused significant damage in Lucknow. And there was another strong 1 near Kenilworth, both rated EF2. (5/7)
Italy had a few strong tornadoes that month. The 1st one was a strong waterspout that moved onshore in Pantelleria that was rated F2 & 2 were killed. Then, a small outbreak in N Italy with 7 tornadoes (4 F2s). And in NSW, AUS, we had a strong tornado that injured a few. (6/7)
OtherWx: There was a devastating flood in Central Mexico. Landslides were reported everywhere & the disaster got worse from an earthquake as well. At least 17 people died in a hospital when the power was knocked out & were unable to get medical help. (7/7)

#OTDwx: A winter tornado outbreak like no other, occurred last year. A Moderate Risk was put up for the Mid MS Valley area as the environment was ripe for intense tornadoes. Many of the tornadoes deserve to be mentioned, including the Monette EF4, Defiance EF3 (1/4) From Max Olson Chasing
(2/4) Edwardsville EF3, Bowling Green EF3, & most infamous, the Mayfield long tracked EF4. The Monette EF4 was the Quad-state supercell that soon spawned the longer tracked EF4 in KY. This destroyed multiple buildings including a nursing home. The Defiance EF3 quickly grew & hit From CBS NewsFrom WTTW NewsKSI RadioWKNR News
(3/4) a 100 year old home & NWS St. Louis had to briefly take cover. In Edwardsville, an EF3 destroyed an Amazon warehouse, killing people & eventually led to a lawsuit. The Bowling Green EF3 was a nightmare that killed several overnight. And the Mayfield EF4 tracked for miles on CNNWHAS NewsFOX 2CNBC

[🧵] One word, asinine. That’s the word we can describe April 2022. And that’s what we will be reviewing in the #WxWrapUp of that month. (1/7)
#Tropicswx: It was very problematic for many w/ the 1st being Megi. It generated massive landslides & flooding that killed 200+ people. The current damage toll stands at ₽4.7B. It’s likely both Agaton & Megi will be tossed off the naming list. (2/7)
In South Africa, a deadly flood event occurred from a system that became Issa. Issa is the deadliest TCs in 🇿🇦 history. Most of the impacts occurred in KZN Province where cleanup is still underway to this day. (3/7)

March was very interesting with what it had. Weather stories made some serious headlines & we'll shear that in March 2022's #WxWrapUp. (1/4)
Tropics: We start with Gombe. It left a mark on Mozambique with serious impacts. A total of 72 have died from the storm. This storm's circulation even reached Malawi as a depression (barely), becoming the 1st to do so since Idai '19. (2/4)
SevereWx: The start of it was deadly w/ 7 dead in a nasty IA outbreak w/ an EF4 in Winterset. Then in Mid-Mar., Jacksboro, TX & Arabi, LA were hit by damaging EF3s. Lastly, on the 31st, a deadly EF3 killed 2 in Cottondale, FL. Overall, 11 were killed by tornadoes in March. (3/4)

[🧵] A December to remember. That's the words we had for this crazy conclusion of 2021. So much went down that we now have to break our rule on 10 tweets or less. So here it is, our monthly installment of #WxWrapUp for December 2021. (1/13)
Tropics: Nyatoh reached super typhoon status all due to the jet stream. Admittedly, it's not the best looking super typhoon but it reached that status. Nyatoh was 1 of 2 STYs in Dec.; the 1st time since 1959. (2/13)
Ruby came next in the AUS basin. At one point it was forecasted to rapidly intensify as it moved into New Caledonia; thankfully that wasn't the case. However, the center went through almost the entire island of Grande Terre. (3/13)

(🧵of 4) I know we have been seeing people saying "It's just normal winter" & "I survived the last storm so it's not a big deal"
But there's a couple of things wrong with those statements. 1st, just because you survived 1 doesn't mean it will be easy the next time. (1/4)
2nd, if the NWS is telling you that extreme impacts are likely, they are being right, things will get to be serious, & potentially life threatening for those who are ill-prepared. This has that chance. Now people have been comparing this to the Blizzard of '78. (2/4)
While every storm is different in each way, places could feel less impacts compared to that storm but others may feel it worse. It all depends here. All you have to do is prepare accordingly & stay safe. We're here relying official information to people in this storm. (3/4)
