An EF4 tornado could pass down 7th Ave during rush hour and New Yorkers would barely notice.

That’s what nerds are for. To notice the stuff most people don’t give a shit about. Pay some nerds to hangout in the park and be pedantic over every weather event.

I’d say 111 degrees at EWR or LGA is within the realm of possibility but not Central Park. KNYC is a lost cause.

Really wish the nws put more prioritization on knyc. Such an important spot in the world and a fair amount of data output gets scrutinized. 

Good rains rolling through the region.

You live in New Jersey’s attic. 

This is a knee slapper of a beautiful day.

desolation and ruin, the very breast of nature from which humanity has nursed for thousands of years turned into a curdled stream of horrors we cannot yet conceive of even as the architects of its corruption.  a future of endless decline and suffering as billions of crabs fight to escape a bucket that only grows taller, our collective breath quickening and evermore desperate as we suffocate and scream to the last.  the dead lucky, the survivors mere wraiths devoid of any semblance of civilization.  still not as bad as fucking ohio dude are you kidding have you been there

We got hit with a microburst yesterday that knocked out power to about 2500 residence yesterday for over 10 hours. 

She is a politician so she is obviously an expert. I guess there were never Thunderstorms, Blizzards, Heat Waves before the 20th century, I'm so glad she cleared things up for me.

Nice storm here. 

Gotta be some hail in that cell near Rockaway NJ

My folks retired to Las Cruces, New Mexico. I couldn’t understand why until I visited them for the first time. The desert is incredibly enchanting and beautiful. Living in the desert comes with serious questions of sustainability. There are laws where my parents live that prohibits them from having non native plants on their property and they have their own well that’s actually heated by seismic activity. They’ve installed solar panels on their roof that more than powers their house and the excess gets directed back into the grid. Also having a grass lawn is very illegal. I believe there are ways to make the southwest sustainable but it’s going to require investments in infrastructure and a better understanding and conservation of the water shed for the entire region.

On my way to Saint Vitus to listen to some Stoner Doom Metal and this weather is increasing the vibes. 

I can feel the air. I almost forgot this was a thing. I very much dislike this.

Most interesting atmospheric event since the Tonga pressure wave imo

Completely agree. Having a hard time categorizing it with other natural events but this is very noteworthy.

The smoke smell is insane right now.

I was in a lyft ride home yesterday during that thunderstorm. Lots of loud bangs, rumbling thunder, and the crackle boom ones. Nice lighting as well. 

There was a ground strike that shook my building. It was LOUD. 

Some decent lightning here. 

@Wannabehippie you hear that one?
