50 years ago today, an F4 tornado hit West Lafayette, IN, N of Purdue campus. Profs. E. Agee, J. Snow, and C. Church surveyed damage & collected dozens of eyewitness accts & photos. My URAs (@maliyah-wx.bsky.social, E. Girardi, @lgrose24.bsky.social) digitized them all & wrote up what they learned.

Earlier today, on our way to a North Dakota target, we stopped and did a little sightseeing! #SPOTTR

#SPOTTR Day 1: Our 2300 UTC sounding from Anamosa, IA revealed: ✅ Instability ✅ Moisture ✅ Lift ❌ No shear for you! Result: Pulse storms and multicell clusters

Our #SPOTTR class launched a radiosonde this morning to help NWS Indianapolis collect extra upper air data in advance of today's storms! It was great training for our upcoming trip! Photo from @paige-ashlyn-h.bsky.social. #inwx
