I've been sitting on a little secret since @VAlonsoWeather called me just a few days ago. I'm happy to report that I'm officially an @ametsoc Certified Digital Meteorologist. I'm only the 16th to earn this designation so far, so I'm one of only a few. 👏 📸 cred: @ABC13Elyse

I've been pretty swamped in recent weeks. And now I can say why. I officially tested for the @ametsoc exam for their new Certified Digital Meteorologist designation and I passed. I still have to submit samples of my work, but I'm one step closer. PS: I only wish I scored 100%.

If you're being asked to evacuate along Florida's Gulf Coast and you're still not sure if you should, let this video from Ft. Myers Beach during Ian highlight what storm surge can do. I know it isn't easy, but it's the right thing to do if you're being asked to evacuate.

I made this…with my hands. I had some lemons kicking around and figured why not attempt making my own lemon curd. So I did that. Then decided to make (some of the biggest) macarons to stuff my lemon curd between. #Foodie #LemonCurd #Macarons #Homemade #Weekend #RENAISSANCE

I have to take a moment to brag. @DerrahGetter did such an amazing job during her on-air debut tonight for @WUFTNews ! She was so confident, which can be a difficult task starting out. Give her a round of applause. #Meteorology #Meteorologist #UF #GoGators #GatorChomp

If you're without power in Harris County, chances are higher than not that you'll be without power through most of the weekend if not longer. Quick note here: highs this weekend will be in the 90s and heat index values make a run at 100°.

Residents across Harris and surrounding counties need to be prepared to be without power for days not hours. Mutual aid resources are enroute from various areas…but restoration will take time #houwx #txwx

I am so happy to have started with @FloridaStorms , @UFWeather , and @SCETV . This Niner has to adjust to being in #GatorNation now, but I welcome the change of pace.

I made this with my own hands this evening. Pizza delivery who? This meal scored major bonus points for not containing turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, or mashed potatoes. 😂

I love events like Storm Spotter Training. Seeing so many community members that want to be part of building a #WeatherReadyNation gives me the warm and fuzzies. @NWSJacksonville @FloridaEMJen @AlachuaCoEM

It's a tale as old as time. The meteorologist forgets the umbrella. 🤡

I did a little experiment for the @HoustonChron today. It's as simple as setting some crayons on a canvas and letting them melt in direct sunlight. Dark colors were first to melt because they have a low albedo. What the heck is that?

Tonight was the most fun I've had in some time. The incomparable @AlyssaEdwards_1 performed at @ImprovHouston and we enjoyed every second of it. Alyssa: "Are you eating a sloppy Joe?" The audience: 💀💀

When you share your electricity, you reap the benefits of my fried chicken abilities. This pile of fried chicken is enough to feed a small army. A very hungry army.

I love this image because of the shifting color gradient from the bottom to the top.

This is how you do a New Year's Day dinner in the South. I've got my pork. My greens. My beans. And my cornbread. What's your NYD food tradition? #NewYearsDay
