My favorite had me all in my feels before I even made it to church this morning. Congratulations A'ja🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊

In a den full of tigers, be a lion. We might get slaughtered tonight, but no matter where I am, I'll ALWAYS have SLU across my chest 💚💛🦁 #LionUp

Last night was the first time in 21 years that I sang in front of a crowd. Nerves: Bad Sweat: Moderate Song Selection: A vibe by one of my favorites Seeing the crowd reaction: Priceless Moral of the story: You're never too old to face your fears and always enjoy time away from the phone.

If you or someone you love have been through hurricanes in your lifetime, here's some good health information to know and how you can keep yourselves safe and informed ahead of and after the storm.

Aces had me stressed but they got the W!!!! On to the semis!!! WHEW! #RaisetheStakes

Definitely need more time being in the moment and less time being attached to our screens. Be in the moment and not miss the moment❤️

One of my favorite things to do is give back when however I can. Today, college alma mater #1 had their annual Giving Day and I couldn't be more proud to support them. I'm forever grateful for them opening their doors and giving this girl from the country a chance 💚💛🦁

Sharing to help more good people during their time of need. Times are hard and we are in some dark times. However, we have a chance to bring some light in a dark world by providing some support to those in need. Let's help out where we can ❤️🙏🏾

So glad that these guys are keeping this going! If you're able, show some love and support to this group as they're doing something special here at home ❤️🙏🏾

September 15-17th, 2004: Hurricane Ivan produced 119 tornadoes from Florida to southern PA. This event remains the largest tropical cyclone-related outbreak in US history. The strongest tor was an F3 near Remington, Virginia. 7 people were killed, and 41 were injured.

Cannot wait for tomorrow!!! What a turnaround for the season!

29 yrs ago the world lost Tupac. So many of his songs are still fitting today when he called for change in the world. "I see no changes all I see is racist faces Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races " RIP #Tupac forever missed. 💜 youtu.be/eXvBjCO19QY?...

50 years ago today, The Beatles released "Yesterday," and the most covered pop song of all time, with over 3,400 versions recorded. At any given time, anywhere in the world, a version of the song is being broadcast on the radio.

So I just learned that today is Cloud Appreciation Day and because I love weather AND clouds, I'm sharing some of my favorite snapshots before I take a mental break for the weekend. Hope you get out and enjoy some clouds and fresh air if you can!

Of course the M'VP is the AP Player of the Year & Defensive Player of the Year! 💅✨

If the last 24 hours have taught me anything, it's that I simply don't have the patience for what social media has become anymore. I'm so close to going off the grid and resorting to the old school ways of keeping in touch....definitely making some decisions this weekend.....

I am outraged and deeply disturbed by the recent threats made against #HBCUs, including #SouthernUniversity, #BethuneCookmanUniversity, #VSU, #HamptonUniversity, #CAU, & #AlabamaState. These reprehensible acts are not only an attack on institutions of higher learning —

Threats against HBCUs are attacks on our history, culture, & future. As Congressman for Louisiana — home to some of the nation’s best HBCUs — I’m calling on the federal gov’t to use EVERY resource to find & prosecute these hateful cowards. We stand united. ✊🏽 #HBCUs

This is so true

I remember when we sang this at an event after 9/11. Our hearts were still heavy, yet our high school was still finding ways to contribute something during a rough time. Years later, it's still a beautiful reminder that we can still help carry the load... youtu.be/wPTkoEFX1pw?...

In loving memory of all the lives lost on this day 24 years ago, my prayers & thoughts are with their families. My prayers are also with all of the first responders & survivors, my heart is with you all. #911 #NeverForget 💙🕊🙏🏽

This.... including social media...

Twenty-four years later and this is still fresh in the minds of everyone across our country and the world on today. Love and prayers to all and may the fallen continue to rest in peace. #NeverForget

In the midst of the madness, it's also World Suicide Awareness Day. At 18, I nearly took my own life as I felt low and unimportant. By His grace and my nephew's actions, I'm still here 21 years later. You are never alone, are special and are loved always. Be strong and encouraged 🙏🏾💚

No matter what color you are, violence is NEVER the answer to anything. We are truly in a battle against evil and a lot of it is around us each and every day. As mad as we may be about certain things and towards certain people, we must not let hate and evil consume us. Spread love and be love always

Today is near the statistical peak in the Atlantic hurricane season but it is quiet. My explanation of why? www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Before Katrina, this was the storm that I felt had several people in a state of complacency across Gulf Coast. It was also impressive that this storm did a loop and missed us twice!

Despite all the negative stuff we've had going on for the past month and some change, it felt great to know that people were interested in what I had to say with my weather content. Got my 1st focused recognition today and couldn't be more proud of myself 🥰😄 #blessingsonblessings

Pause.

My girl is on a TEAR!!!! GOOOOO ACES🖤🩶🤍🏀

In the long list of new laws that Dems need to enact if they ever get control of Congress and the White House again is a law that determines the Executive Branch cannot rename any geographical name if it is named by an intergovernmental agency, such as International Hydrographic Organization.

Two different events. Two great organizations. Two separate weeks. One important cause. I still may not be where I'd like to be right now, but know I have opportunities to serve and make my voice heard to what I'm passionate about has been nothing short of a blessing. More on the way! 🙏🏾❤️

August 30, 2008: Hurricane Gustav struck Cuba as a Category 4. The 155 mph winds damaged over 85,000 homes in the Pinar del Río province and caused massive agriculture losses. A local weather station recorded a 211 mph gust. Luckily, no fatalities were reported in the country.

Another one of my favorite photogenic tornadoes to see and study. At first glance, you'd think it was a smoke stack with how it appeared!

This entire week has been a full one leading up to today as we reflect back on one of the worst hurricanes to devastate the Gulf Coast. I spent part of my day giving back by serving with part of my team and other coworkers to restore a home and I am grateful to have been part of something special. ❤️

Amazing words of wisdom here! I will also add that it's important to behave as such and just to be kind in general because you never know what people are going through. Spread love and be the love you give. ❤️🙏🏾

Twenty years ago, this was the storm that changed my entire perspective on hurricane forecasting and preparedness. I can't begin to tell you how many fights I got into in my classes behind Katrina until I was told I was right all along! 🤣🤣

@stimpycole.bsky.social Just got a somewhat Jupiter looking sky here at home 😄 Hope the weekend is off to a great start!

Another change I'd love to see is electric companies being more clear when outages happen in addition to compensating customers for their losses. We had an outage well after storms passed last night, was just resolved before I left for the office, AND I lost half of my groceries...Happy Tuesday🫠

August 17-18th, 1983: Hurricane Alicia made landfall on Galveston Island, Texas, as a Category 3. Thousands of homes were destroyed by wind and storm surges, and nearly all skyscrapers in Houston lost windows. 21 people were killed, and $3 billion in damage was left behind.

We’re teaming up with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to shine a light on Triple Negative Breast Cancer 🩷 On August 17th, every 3PM by the Aces will support programs that improve access to quality cancer care for under-resourced women. Donate/make your pledge ⬇️ lasvegasaces.com/cancerawareness

The National Hurricane Center has raised the odds of a tropical depression or storm forming in the Southern Gulf during the next day or two. We want to quell any fears this may cause Texans. In the Houston area we can expect elevated rain chances on Friday and Saturday, but nothing extreme. #houwx

Sade’s 1988 album ‘Stronger Than Pride’ balanced warmth, restraint & independence—self-produced by Sade Adu, written across continents, and still celebrated as an ’80s classic. Here are 5 amazing facts about the album: zurl.co/tJgZk

Pretty much where I'm at currently. Hadn't even gotten my FB back up after it was hacked and there's just too much negativity for my liking. Got enough going on offline. When I'm here, I'll do my best to be positive, but sometimes like now, I just need a mental break.

Just when I thought I was going to have a good day today....the complete opposite happens. Things are happening and I will admit that I am just not okay. Probably going to step away again for a while to process all this mess. Send prayers and positive vibes. This is so scary😭

Another reason why having NOAA is imperative. The apps you see, models you run...however you get your weather information, it all stems from NOAA. Still keeping hope alive that we can keep it running and that someday, they'll have a place for me, too. youtube.com/post/UgkxPIh...
