Today's Weather Fun Fact: The Fujita Scale (and EF Scale) is named after Dr. Ted Fujita. He pretty much 'discovered' downbursts & microbursts, plus the concept of multi-vortex tornadoes. He ALSO helped publish a model correlating to pressure and wind in tropical systems.

Today's Weather 'Fun' Fact: The most extensive tornado outbreak in history happened from April 25-28, 2011. A total of 367 tornadoes, most on the 25th thru the 27th. All EF5s (4) occurred on the 27th. The 2011 Super Outbreak holds the record for the largest # of tornadoes in 24 hours at 218.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: The closest any tropical system has ever gotten to the Equator is 1.4 degrees North, or 156 km (97 mi) from the Equator. This was achieved by Tropical Storm Vamei around the 26th of December in 2001.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: The International Fujita Scale is the "newest Fujita Scale", introduced in 2018. It's primarily used by the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) and other European weather agencies! The strongest tornado rated with this scale (so far) is an IF4 with winds of 236 mph.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: The Fujita Scale has a thing called 'Fujita miles' which we are definitely NOT gonna discuss further 'cause it's weird.

Oh my, I forgot some daily facts didn't I? Well here's a make up: There have only been two (E)F5s in October on record in the U.S., one in Iowa in '66 and the newly upgraded one in ND. There has never been an EF5 in November in the U.S. on record. Hurricanes can produce tornadoes!

Today's Weather Fun Fact: 2012's Hurricane Sandy is the largest tropical system ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin, with Tropical Storm-force wind diameter of 1,150 miles (1,850 km). That's the distance from Chicago the Boston.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: 1/2 Hurricane Patricia of 2015 holds the record for the largest 1 minute sustained winds WORLDWIDE, at 215 mph (346 kph), and the second lowest pressure at 872 mb. It is worth noting these were not directly observed measurements, but are quite sound estimates.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: 1973's Typhoon Nora is tied for 3rd in all time reliably recorded tropical storms reaching a minimum pressure of 875 mb. At the time this was at the top until '79's Typhoon Tip. With 1-min winds of 185 mph it is also in the top echelon of tropical storms by wind speeds.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: Yesterday (technically June 20th), the longest "EF5 Drought", at 12 years 1 month long, ended. A tornado in North Dakota reached instant wind speeds in excess of 250 mph (402 kph) to do the things it did, just scroll a little bit through my re-Skys to see it lol 1/3

Stream today w/ @experimentr41n.bsky.social for some modded stellaris at 3pm pacific :3

Excited to announce that my method for estimating wind speeds based on lofted debris in tornadoes was used as contextual evidence for upgrading the Enderlin, ND tornado to an EF5! doi.org/10.1175/MWR-... #NDwx #Enderlin #EF5 #Tornado

#FGF issues Public Information Statement (PNS) at Oct 6, 9:30 AM CDT ...Enderlin Tornado #1 Upgraded to EF-5... Link

This is the first F5/EF5-rated tornado in North Dakota in almost 70 years (last F5/EF5 tornado was the Fargo tornado on June 20, 1957)

An EF5 sounding.

The Enderlin, ND tornado from 6/20/25 has been upgraded to EF5.

BREAKING WEATHER NEWS: FIRST EF5 IN 12 YEARS A tornado from June 20, 2025 has been upgraded to EF5. Absolutely insane.

Today's Weather Fact: Hurricane Michael of 2018 is the most powerful hurricane to strike the U.S. in the month of October. It is also the 4th most powerful in terms of windspeed (160 mph) upon landfall & 3rd most in pressure (919 mb). It also became the first Cat 5 to strike since Andrew in 1992.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: October is an interesting "lull month" for tornadoes in the U.S. September and August are kind of like this toom Next month is when the U.S. sees a general uptick in tornadoes climatalogically, lasting until around July, then the cycle repeats.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: Typhoon Cobra in December 1944 did more damage to Task Force 38 than the entirety of the Battle for Leyte Gulf only a few months earlier. 3 destroyers were capsized / sunk, and more than a dozen ships suffered major damage.

Additional fun fact for today: A lab report, due 20 minutes ago, was something that I worked on for a collective 6 hours with zero progress (thanks code not working). Definitely NOT been lowkey livid for 2 days.

Today's Weather Fun Facts: The Plainfield F5 of August 1990 is notable for multiple reasons! It's the only reliably recorded F5 in August in known U.S. history. It went unwarned for more than 5 minutes due to NWS Chicago being responsible for THE ENTIRE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 1/2

Is it weird to update the apps on phone monthly / when absolutely required? 'Cause I do that.

Today's Weather Fun Fact: The 1925 Tri-State Tornado is one of the most researched tornadoes of all time. Even if its path is split into the two more likely tornadoes it was, the second most prominent path is still at the top of Very Long Track (VLT) tornadoes. It also moved at 60 mph FORWARD. 1/3

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Today's Weather Fun Fact: Some of the most powerful tornadoes to strike my home region of Central IL have happened in March (1942), and November (2013). The 1942 tornado was an F5, & is one of only 4 F5s to hit IL, the other three happening in 1880 (debated), 1925 (Tri-State), & 1990 (Plainfield).

Okay so... Today was last day at current job (good riddance). I don't start my new one until the 13th Time for some streams! (tomorrow. I'm going to bed now lol)

I am relatively lactose-intolerant. I also got a shake, because I deserve it. Will I regret my choices? No.

Fun fact: In 1953, a 3 day tornadic event in June spawned an F5 onto Flint, MI. This tornado is the last (until 2011's Joplin, MO EF5) to kill 100+ people in the U.S. The Fun part comes in because multiple congress people proposed ATOM BOMB TESTING CAUSED THE EVENT (It obviously didn't). Fun stuff.

HOLY FUCKING LIFE UPDATE BATMAN I JUST GOT AN OFFER FOR A REAL ENGINEERING JOB I'M GONNA CRY

Streaming is not a regular thing I'm able to do. It will be whenever I come home for the weekend from college & even then, not a guarantee. I won't go as long as I did last time, that IS a promise. I'll be better with my attitude, presentation, & more. I'm still glad I was able too strim. Ty all.

Definitely streamed probably too long tbh, that was nearly 10 hours LMAO but I had fun for a majority of it. Head and throat-ache means you had a good time, right? A massive thank you to @jarblesvtv.bsky.social and @charcoalmoth.bsky.social for joining me. I'm so glad everything went well, too!!!!

I am risking all the rains with the lovely wyvern @foursidedhexagon.bsky.social and the adorable Cyborg bunny @jarblesvtv.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/charcoalmoth

added @charcoalmoth.bsky.social to the strimm :3

www.twitch.tv/jarbles_ streaming with @foursidedhexagon.bsky.social today <3 currently in RoR2!

www.twitch.tv/foursidedhex... Uh, hi!

I'm not a VTuber (yet) but I'll badly describe my irl job with one gif.

You deserve rest 💙 #art #comics

I would love if cis and baby-trans people would stop separating nonbinary/third gender folks from transgender identity. Nonbinary people are transgender. Anyone who does not conform to a cisgender identity is transgender. It’s the white stripe in our flag.

Not meaning to jinx anything, but I am planning for a TEST strim over the weekend. Hopefully I'm even able to do so to begin with.

you know what, screw you (sets your vtuber to 240p)

Hi BlueSky. Been a couple days. Haven't been the hottest lately. Ya gurl/guy's been a bit depressed lately. Chronic stress plus more stressful events have not done this Wyvern well. I'll be okay though, I promise.

Pleased to announce this fantastic bun is at 120 now. And deserves 120 more ;)

Well… interesting first week. I’m exhausted, but I’ve got a better idea how things’ll be going from here on out! #PEAK stream tomorrow morning with lots of friends <3 looking forward to it! 9am pacific

They are the most lovely and amazing wyvern ever @foursidedhexagon.bsky.social I love you so much here is to many more months and years together 💚🧡

Some time has passed, I feel comfortable saying it. In very glad to be taken by the lovely @charcoalmoth.bsky.social!!! Happy (totally not late) one month, my love, and here's to many more 🧡💚

Hey, a fun thing to do today is support some awesome trans and non-binary creators! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Yesterday I discovered Enby is under the TransUmbrella The Trumbrella, if you will.
