.@united #1826 (SFO to DEN) taxiing back to the gate because someone left a door open underneath the plane. Folks on the flight are livid. Can't wait for the app to say "weather delay".

.@weatherchannel Your headline right now says that 5+ million people are under a Tornado Watch but the @NWSSPC has put out zero watches so far. Revise this ASAP and change to "5M+ Under Tornado Threat Today" or something that doesn't make people think NOAA products are out.

The supercell that produced the Rolling Fork tornado had a ZDR column area of 107 square km (based on our algorithm) just prior to tornado formation, one of the largest column areas in the ~200 cases we've looked at, and consistent with other EF3+ tornado cases. cc @TheDarrel

A friend attempting to fly on a cancelled @SouthwestAir flight from Oakland to Denver was told there were no flights he could be rebooked on for the rest of the year. He had to spend over $900 to get on a @united flight tomorrow. People have jobs and families to get back to.

Thank you #NWAS22 for this award. As a result our work, 20 NWS offices were able to evaluate and issue long-duration winter & non-precipitation weather watches, warnings, and advisories for millions of people from 2020-2022, years ahead of the operational transition in 2023-2024.

This week we're evaluating how forecasters issue severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings using Hazard Services developed at NOAA's Global Systems Laboratory. The NWS hasn't had a warning software replacement in 20+ years and we're bringing decision making to the 21st century!

To the house at mile 11, Thank you for having your sprinklers on. I hope you have a video doorbell camera and captured a grown ass adult attempting to get as wet as possible as I ran through your front yard. Love, Darrel

This is what happens when you set an alarm for your Southwest flight but the Spotify song that plays is quiet for the first 2 minutes.
