I'm tracking the current line of #storms with #RadarScope, which is the same app that showed me the #tornado that dropped in May, 2019.

One minute it was this angry, red, rotating blob all by itself on the radar screen, and the next minute, it dropped a big ole twister south of town. That twister was then on the ground for 32 miles!

The thing I no longer have now is the friend who is a trained weather spotter (that went with the ex). He was watching the same cell I was, and warned us about how quickly it had changed.

One minute he said, "I don't know if the sirens are going off but, nothing to worry about right now. The rotation is super weak and broad."

The next minute he was like, find shelter!

Watching 'The Toys That Built America' that was on History and is now on Hulu. Fascinating stuff on early board game and video game stuff, from Scrabble, Clue, Yahtzee, Trivial Pursuit and Pictionary.

The video game one is good, talks about the history of Miyamoto and the Game Freak guys, from Donkey Kong to Pokémon. Lots of stuff I didn't know (surprising since I've seen so many other of these).

'Radar Scope' was mentioned as an early Nintendo failure, and then Game Freak makes 'Quinty' later. (See screenshots below). I've seen and read so much video game stuff, but I hadn't even heard of these. Need to try them both 😂

Spotted this earlier. I’ve seen Particularly Dangerous Situation watches and warnings, but NEVER BEFORE have I seen an Extremely Dangerous Situation.

2 PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado warnings right now in Texas and Oklahoma. Intense hook echoes and velocity couplets. I hope people in their paths will be okay. :( It has been SO BAD recently.
