The Florida Forgotten Coast and Big Bend are some of the most surge-prone areas in the world. The terrain is essentially flat inland a long way from the coast. The NHC’s storm surge maps for a category 4 hurricane show the potential for 6-9+ feet of surge 10 miles inland. #Idalia

A somber afternoon after hearing of the unexpected passing of Fuqing Zhang, a giant in the field. I & a few others overlapped with him during PREDICT. I have many fond memories of that trip, but none fonder than a personal chat with him on the trip back. He will be dearly missed.

Is anyone else who attended #AMS2024 dealing with fraudulent hotel bar charges from the @Hilton that the hotel is not addressing? I’ve tried twice now & am getting nowhere. And to whoever spent $252 at the hotel bar and put my room down on the receipt: I don’t like you much rn.

Looks like my home weather station in Grafton recorded a ~1 hPa blip from the #Tonga volcano’s shock/pressure wave earlier this morning. #wiwx @NWSMilwaukee

The other half is because of our students. I admire them so much. It has been an absolute pleasure working with and learning from them as their advisor, teacher, or colleague. I hope that I have served them well, and I hope they know that I will always be their champion. (3/x)

One big plus of this year's virtual #AMS2021 : no #AMSplague ! (Though it sadly comes thanks to a worldwide pandemic.)

I’m looking for 2-3 graduate students to join our team in the fall. Interested in severe storm environments, inland tropical cyclone intensity change, and/or TCs and climate? Contact me!

Neighbor’s tree collapsed in half with the weight of the snow. Sheesh. Got their roof over the garage unfortunately that’s all of the house it got. #wiwx #graftonwi

While it is exceedingly rare to see this occur with an eastern North Pacific tropical cyclone, #Hilary appears to be an exception. This movie depicts Hilary's upper-level divergent outflow (vectors), trough/ridge pattern (black contours), and winds (blue/red shading). (3/6)

Of all of the potential weather I would have expected for #AMS2020 in Boston, mostly sunny and 65°F was really low on the list. I’ll take it!
