Damn, this took my breath away. Perfect description, you *are* right. I own a small biz, in a high-end touristy beach town. Business fell off a cliff in early August. I just returned from a trade show w/minimal new merch for '26. The vibes at the show were bad, super bad.

PURE EVIL. We can't let this happen.

Entered...Big nerd, HUGE!

Sunset, a stunner! Goodbye November. #sunset

Tonight's sunset was pretty close to perfection, w/mild temps for this gorgeous #sunset beach walk.

Conditions begin to deteriorate as Hurricane Melissa approaches. 5 AM NHC: 175 mph Cat 5. Pressure, 901 mb 😳 Western Jamaica looks to take the hit from the core of #Melissa.

6hrs 39mins, well done baseball. A momentary distraction from the hurricane disaster unfolding later today.

17th inning, Mary Hart is still at the game.

No change in intensity. Pressure still deepening. My thoughts are with all the people of Jamaica, tomorrow lives will change forever. #Melissa.

The monster eye at the center of a still strengthening Hurricane Melissa.

A star-studded view Inside Hurricane Melissa overnight as it further intensified toward Category 5 strength. Senior meteorologist @matthewcappucci.bsky.social was on the NOAA Hurricane Hunter flight and the poetically peaceful – and perilous – center of the atmospheric buzzsaw:

"The moon shines through the buzzsaw eye of #Melissa as seen earlier this evening by @matthewcappucci.bsky.social onboard the Hurricane Hunters flight." @myradar.bsky.social Truly amazing capture Matthew!

Hurricane #Melissa absolutely terrifying on infrared satellite. The pink ring of very cold -80C cloud tops surrounding the eye. ...oohboy she is just cranking, my heart is with you Jamaica.

It's hard to adequately summarize how destructive NOAA's 2026 proposed budget released on Monday is for hurricane forecasting, but I crammed all I could into today's newsletter. I encourage everyone with interests along the coast to read it carefully. ⬇️

Live Cam moments ago (time-lapse) from Grand Forks, ND. Derecho approached with 70-80mph winds. Heading towards Minn. #wx #derecho

"The NWS has received permission to break the federal hiring pause and will be adding 125 new employees." Some much needed good news from #NWS www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/w...

It's been death by a million papercuts to U.S. weather forecasts by the Trump administration, but yesterday's detailed 2026 budget feels like a deathblow. In today's @nytimes.com I ask: How far can we degrade our hurricane forecasting before people end up dead?

Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location? weatherstar.netbymatt.com

What we feared is now happening. This isn’t hypothetical anymore. This is real. Cuts to NOAA are putting American lives at risk, plain and simple. We’re witnessing the consequences in real time. 📢 Call on Congress to immediately restore NOAA's full funding and staffing. #SaveNOAA

Incredible footage. Just a remarkable capture. WOW #wx
