You: Why is the weatherman always wrong!

Me, an intellectual: It's because weather is governed by non-linear differential equations, which are inherently chaotic.

Me, carrying on as you roll your eyes: That means that the evolution of this system is prone to change greatly with even minor variations of the initial conditions.

Me, following you out of the shop: This is best exemplified by the infamous "butterfly effect," whereby the wind variation caused by a butterfly flapping its wings in the amazon can supposedly lead to hurricanes across the ocean.

Me, following you down the street: Thus, while they can collect very detailed data with satellites, weather balloons, on-the-ground measurements, and the like, there's always a certain degree of uncertainty in any attempt to model global weather patterns.

Me, shouting at you after you've broken into a run: REALLY, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I WOULD SAY THAT METEOROLOGISTS ACTUALLY HAVE A FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE TRACK RECORD!

rainy days r the best days💧

“Probably my image of the day. Sitting in the damage path of a large tornado, where it had passed not five minutes prior. Unreal. All the times Mother Nature has kicked dust in my face over the last four years… Today I worked a full day, came home at 5:00 and had dinner with my family, and then drove ten miles to see the best tornado I have seen in nearly five years.” “It did not come at no cost…… I’m still unaware if anyone was home at that farmhouse or not. That was an experience unlike any other I have had. I ran up on it to people yelling and screaming for anyone trapped to yell back. I made awkward eye contact with Dr. Jeff Frame at UIUC Atmos-Sciences who I’d been texting earlier in the day as a local resident frantically asked everyone to pray with her. We all joined hands in a circle while she prayed for anyone trapped, anyone in the path of tornado, and every there helping at that moment. We stayed for a while, but no one was calling back. Hope is that they were at the local high school football game, but I have no confirmation yet. There was plenty of support there eventually, so I made my way out of the way and began the emotional decompression process.”

Who knew? (Fun fact: To really “get” the dialogue right, I find myself creating silly voices for my characters out loud. But, it makes me sound crazy when I am out at a coffee shop by myself. Have you been overheard talking to yourself out loud? What were the expressions you received?).

Intense wind found in neighborhood of a black hole

Southampton, UK (SPX) May 12, 2016 An international team of astrophysicists, including Professor Phil Charles from the University of Southampton, have detected an intense wind from one of the closest known black holes to the Earth. During observations of V404 Cygni, which went into a bright and violent outburst in June 2015 after more than 25 years of quiescence, the team began taking optical measurements of the black hole’ Full article

Incredible chase day this past Saturday near Wray Colorado. Yielded one my best tornado photographs to date. Zach
