3 weeks after Irma hit I was in the cereal aisle at Publix and overheard two elderly women talking. They said they would never evacuate again. I’m going to think about that for a long time.

If you do not feel safe in #Cheney ... here's how to leave town safely! #GrayFire 904 to I-90 is no longer an option! If you want to go to Spokane: 1. Cheney-Spokane road through Marshall 2. Cheney-Spangle road to Spangle and then north on 195 🧵

#Lane has the makings of a major disaster across Hawaii due to torrential rain and the accompanying flash floods, mudslides and landslides. It's this, not necessarily the winds that are the main threat. This image is a general idea of what the rain totals could look like.

#Dorian is pretty small compared to what many of you remember, Irma... more of a Charley size at this point. We'll have to watch if the wind field expands this weekend... a possibility if the storm becomes a monster and then weakens.

It's not uncommon for air quality to improve during the afternoon and evening before worsening by the next morning as smoke lifts and settles with the heat of the day and cool of the night. However, winds are in our favor to keep this trend going tomorrow! #airquality #spokane
