Such a bad look for Amazon. Clearly management didn't heed the warnings. Wow. Sad. $15/hr isn't worth your life. 

Meanwhile they’re pissing away millions on space tourism this morning. Launch should have been canceled out of respect for the loss of life.

What’s the biggest issue with weather warnings? Many times they do not live up to their hype…that is our biggest issue. My theory is the people in that plant dismissed the severity of that warning and felt the Christmas rush was more important. It’s sad that this was the case in both plants and now there will be years of second guessing protocols in these situations.

64 degrees here

Not get off the wind event we’re about to endure, but, the ensembles have really perked up after this week ahead, and big changes may begin in about 8 days. The MJO appears to be driving into region 8 which looks to be setting a ridge over the North Atlantic drawing cold air down into the northern tier of the US. The 6Z showed this beautifully and would give us quite the clipper pattern through Xmas.

..DANGEROUS WINDS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...
...SIGNIFICANT LAKESHORE FLOODING WILL START THIS AFTERNOON...

Damaging winds will start abruptly this afternoon and last into
this evening. Wind gusts will be widespread and will reach 70 mph
at some locations. The very strong winds will reach far western
New York including the Buffalo metro area between 2 p.m. and 3
p.m.

Winds of this magnitude can result in extensive power outages and
significant property damage, including damage to roofs. If you
must travel be prepared for downed power lines and debris on
roadways. Always assume downed power lines are live. Falling tees
and power lines will create a dangerous environment to be outside
in. Seek shelter in a substantial building until the strong winds
subside this evening.

Also, lake levels will rise rapidly after 3 p.m. resulting in
flooding along the Lake Erie and Upper Niagara River shores.
Flooding is likely along Route 5 and Hoover Beach in Hamburg,
Buffalo Harbor, Canalside, Dunkirk Harbor, and other flood prone
locations. Along the Upper Niagara River, flooding is likely to
affect Grand Island, Cayuga Island, and beneath the North Grand
Island Bridge at the Lasalle Expressway ramps.

...STRONG GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...

Strong winds will start abruptly late this afternoon and last
into this evening. Peak wind gusts will be 60 to 65 mph. The
strong winds will reach the Upper Genesee Valley around 4 p.m.,
and the western Finger Lakes around 5 p.m., and Lewis County
around 6 p.m.

Winds of this magnitude can result in power outages and
significant property damage. If you must travel be prepared for
downed power lines. Always assume downed power lines are live.

@SouthBuffaloSteve You want to meet up somewhere this afternoon? I'll grab some beers and we can blow away together. 

What time are you heading down?  I’m shooting for about 2ish to get there.  Thinking about starting at Wilkinson point and maybe try and intercept the front on top of that hill.
