This clip of LeBron reflecting on his favorite Kobe memories after he surpassed him in all time points is so surreal to watch now knowing Kobe died less than 24 hours later.
An incredibly powerful tornado devastated portions of Dayton Ohio tonight yet meteorologists were getting hate messages because they “interrupted” The Bachelorette and hockey.
We don’t care if we “interrupted” “your” show. If it helps save lives, then that’s what matters.

Shoutout to Sean McDermott and Zac Taylor for coming together and overriding whoever’s awful decision it was to resume the game 5 minutes after Damar Hamlin was carted off the field after receiving CPR. Absolutely ridiculous.
It’s okay to be white.
It’s okay to be black.
It’s okay to be female.
It’s okay to be male.
It’s okay to be gay.
It’s okay to be straight.
It’s okay to be YOU.
But it's NEVER okay to drive a Tahoe, Charger, or Explorer in white or black unless you’re an actual cop.
Accidentally bumped into someone and we both exclaimed “Ope.” We then did a double take and I asked “Are you by any chance from Iowa?” He said “Yup, Ankeny. I take it you’re from Iowa, too?” We both shook hands and laughed.
White people love to say the following things at restaurants:
- (when the line is getting long behind them) “We came at the right time!”
- (when getting the check) “Alright, what’s the damage?”
- (coming out of the bathroom) “You ready to rock and roll?”
For the record, this tweet came about because we Googled the “official” lyrics before the 10:00 news last night, but we know it will always and forever be “Ope” regardless of what the official lyrics claim.
@Eminem
Can you please clarify
Stop talking trash about different cities in Iowa:
Okoboji is ICONIC
Pella is INSPIRING
Des Moines is MAGNIFICENT
Decorah is STELLAR
Fort Dodge
Ankeny is CUTTING EDGE
Insane footage from the derecho moving through eastern Iowa this morning. This is from Belle Plaine, Iowa which is east of Des Moines but west of Cedar Rapids.

A devastating typhoon is hitting Japan and is going directly over Aoshima, Ehime aka Cat Island. In addition to the residents, hoping these guys are all safe...

Someone named Jackie called the weather office to ask when it would be done raining because she’s sick of it. When I told her it’ll still be a couple of hours, she got mad. It took every ounce of me not to respond with “Well, damn, Jackie, I can’t control the weather.”
First failure on Wordle today. I will be making no further statement on the matter and would ask that my privacy will be respected at this very difficult time.

Seeing awful tweets directed to a meteorologist in Houston because he interrupted the Lions/Bills game due to a Tornado Warning.
We as meteorologists have an obligation to cover the entire viewing area. No program is more important than someone’s life.
In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!
You know you’re from the Midwest when you have the following commercials permanently engraved in your head:
- “Save Big Money At Menards”
- “Come on over to Adventureland, you’re gonna have a fun-filled day!”
- “O-O-O O-Reillyyyyy... auto parts”
Anyone else get offended when someone passes you when you're already going 5-10 mph over the speed limit? Like sorry 70 in a 60 isn't good enough for you... I hope you get pulled over.
Thinking about those in the farming community tonight. This is just a sampling of many cornfields across Iowa after the derecho moved through today. Absolutely devastating.

Anyone else get annoyed by how many questions gas pumps ask you when it’s cold? No, I don’t have a rewards card, No, I don’t want a car wash, No, I don’t want my receipt, No, I can’t feel my hands and Yes, I just want my gas.
*Apple Watch vibrates*
Me: Cool! I wonder who texted me!
Apple Watch: Time to stand! Stand up and move around a little.
Me: Seriously, Apple Watch? Mind your own business.
Apple Watch: Take a minute to breathe.
Hi, I’m that slower driver in the snow and ice you hate because I care about my life and find it to be too valuable to get into a crash because you want to drive fast.
This morning, I woke up with intense chest pains - it was a feeling I’ve never experienced before. While I’m starting to feel better now, we’re awaiting lab results. I also gave a personalized forecast to the doctors and nurses once they discovered who I was. 🤣 Staying positive!
Severe weather is possible in southern Iowa today including the threat for tornadoes in southwest Iowa; Meanwhile, northwest Iowa will get a blizzard tomorrow.
Iowa, you’re drunk.
Due to the blowing and drifting snow, some roadways in South Dakota resembled a real life rendition of Sherbet Land from Mario Kart 64.
This is why roads have been closed and why travel hasn’t been advised!

A male that does the weather is called a meteorologist. A female that does the weather is also (𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳) a meteorologist. They aren’t “Weather Girls.” They, too, experience the same years of hard work, hard classes, and stress.

So Carson King ends up (through matching donations) raising over $1 million (and growing) for the Iowa Children’s Hospital from just simply requesting beer money via Venmo on his College Gameday sign, but someone decided to “dig up” something he posted at Age 16?
Ridiculous.
