Severe weather, photography, science, & sports. I feast on the smorgasbord of atmospheric violence! Fiercely independent thinker. True-life Horatio Alger story.

1/12) A thread from somebody who has forecast, chased, and formally researched tornadoes for decades. This footage from the main part of Mayfield (NE of the candle factory) is awful... 2/12) ...reminiscent to me of scenes from historic events like Waco-53, Wichita Falls-79, Spencer SD-98, Tuscaloosa-11, Joplin-11, Moore (thrice!), etc. The collapsed buildings and slabbed houses in particular will tell a terrible story.

1/9 Those rooting for long-track tornadoes & destruction yesterday probably were wondering what went "wrong" with the forecast. Those not as sadistic wondered what we missed w/overforecasting in a results-based sense. I have ideas from deep professional/scientific experience. 2/9 Dedicated scientific forecasters are like best NFL cornerbacks: shake off previous blown coverage, be better next play, but learn from it in film room. Data is our "film room". Atmosphere speaks the language of data. We ought to listen/read its language.
