“Waves as high as "three or four-storey buildings" whipped up by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred have gouged millions of cubic metres of sand from about 500 kilometres of coastline between Coffs Harbour in New South Wales and Queensland's Sunshine Coast”

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred gouges 500km of coastline
Ex-Cyclone Alfred has caused beach erosion so extreme, it's left escarpments up to six-metres high in some dunes, including on iconic Gold Coast tourist stretches.

A massive storm that brought a record storm surge to Alaska was poorly forecast, and “this is one of the clearest possible examples to date where missing upper air soundings due to NWS constraints may have led to a degraded forecast.”

Sunday a massive storm surge event from the remnants of Typhoon Halong caused catastrophic damage in remote western Alaska. Thanks to @alaskawx.bsky.social for his help with this deep dive, including the forecast challenges in an area dealing with reduced NWS upper air soundings

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

I'm not convinced. Ukraine has no naval capacity for MIM-104 launches, leaving only the technically troubled land-based Army TYPHON system. Arm TYPHON with SM-6 missiles defensively.

Ukraine makes 27 FP-5s a day, 810 per month. Longer range/payload. Have allies build FP-5s. Crush Muscovy 🦾💀
