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)
OtherWx: Nothing of major significance happened but we want to reiterate that March 2022 would lead to a prolific fire weather season in the S Plains & S Rockies. The Eastland & Crittenberg Complex fires did burn over 30K acres through. (4/4)

[🧵] 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)

(🧵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)

(🧵of 9) August was that month that literally went ham on us. So today, we will be reviewing that in our #WxWrapUp for August 2021!

(NOTE: Some events in this review occurred in September however, due to the main event starting in late August, we will be adding that here.) (1/9)
Tropics: The ATL went crazy, especially with 1 of Louisiana's worst hurricanes to impact the state. Ida ruined many communities with its destructive winds & storm surge flooding. And we can still see recovery efforts underway still. It's 1 of 7 LA landfalls within 3 years. (2/9)
Ida is the deadliest TC in the Lower 48 since Harvey '17 with 95 dead. As of now, it's the 6th costliest TC worldwide on record sitting at nearly $65B. Our hearts still go out to the victims of this monster we had & hoping the folks there have a safe recovery. (3/9)

Admittedly, July had more stuff than June. Alot of material to cover & all. We will be happy to reveal them all in the #WxWrapUp for July 2021. (🧵 of 10; (1/10)
#Tropics: Elsa may have brought the memes, but the impacts were no laughing matter. Elsa nearly caused $1B in damages & effects were felt from Barbados to Greenland where it snowed. Elsa is the earliest "E" storm on record. (2/10)
The EPac had the furious Felicia which brought us a treat of an amazing annular structure. It was a very small tropical cyclone with the CDO extending out ~80mi in diameter. You can put Felicia in the eye of Typhoon In-fa because it was that small, and speaking of which... (3/10)

(🧵of 6) #DidYouKnow: The name #Ida has been used 19 times for a tropical cyclone? It’s been used:
Atlantic: 3
West Pacific: 13
SW Indian/AUS/SPac: 3
Here are the storms that were tagged the name Ida in this thread.
Atlantic:
1. Hurricane Ida ‘09 (C2)
2. Tropical Storm Ida ‘15
3. Hurricane Ida ‘21 (C4)

Also fun fact: Ida replaced Isabel as a TC name when it got retired. Should Ida get retired, that means all Female “I” names on the Atlantic naming list as been retired twice.

(2/6)
West Pacific:
1. Typhoon Ida ‘45 (C1)
2. Typhoon Ida ‘50 (C1)
3. Super Typhoon Ida ‘54 (C5)
4. Super Typhoon Ida ‘58 (C5)
