From 1980-2002 THREE storms acheived extreme rapid intensification.
From 2003-2025 EIGHTEEN storms achieved extreme rapid intensification.
6X increase!
It’s not coincidence, it’s climate change!

NOAA’s hurricane research division staff has been cut from 52 in 2020 to 28 in 2025, almost a 50% cut. They’ve resorted to using volunteers to man the critical radar and dropsonde stations on Hurricane Hunter flights. Senseless cuts in an era of climate change making the strongest storms stronger.
@peterbukowski.bsky.social Are we sure Jeff Harley is the second coming?
How can anyone be against a challenge system?
The Packers go home with a tie and a 2-1-1 record.
Rich Bisaccia's special teams were the difference in the outcome tonight, and that will be the discussion over the next week.

@bfawkes22.bsky.social Hey Ben! What do we know about who the sharps are backing today?
What an insane catch.

@enosarris.bsky.social One more updated SP ranking before end of season?

Was just about to ask you that very question
The first two batters of the game reach on walks and Contreras taps into an easy 5-3 double play. It is probably time to move him down in the order.
If William Contreras is going to catch every day and bat third, he's gotta put together a better attempt to block a two-strike changeup than backhanding it.
ICYMI Really need this one to get around. Discusses cloud seeding, geoengineering and more. Your Wikipedia reading, You Tube Watching relative needs this in their life :)

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️

Storm preparedness and response continue to be systematically degraded
Disaster waiting to happen.
Today was the last day at NOAA for hundreds of employees who took an early retirement offer. Collectively, an estimated 27,000 years of experience left the agency. It goes without saying they will be missed. Their decades of service is commendable & appreciated.

1000 or so+ (at least) National Weather Service/NOAA employees took early retirement today alone with more likely. NWS offices in many cases were already understaffed and services are being cut. Mark this day. So many implications....
27000 collective years of experience...Gone
Remember: NOAA is not its social media accounts. Do not let the takeover of NOAA communications take away your support of the real NOAA and the very real scientists behind it. The administration would want nothing more than for us to stop supporting our science agencies 🧪
Here’s tonight’s @nbcnews.com report about the National Weather Service reducing or eliminating some weather balloon launches and the agency’s response to reports about staffing and operational cuts.

Please note, the National Weather Service has NOT yet been granted a public safety exemption, despite the order reading:
"This memorandum does not apply to military personnel of the Armed Forces or to positions related to immigration enforcement, national security, or public safety"
