Hiya folks who I may already know,
I'm Meredith or MSJ! In my 20s, AF vet, at undergrad college 5/5 (long story), consuming knowledge about nature and disasters since 2004.
My research focus is TC RI and storm surge.
I shoot everything you see with my phone (SE) or my mom’s Canon EOS 350D.

December’s full moon is commonly referred to as the Cold Moon. You can guess why. It’ll certainly live up to its name, as tonight’s full moon will oversee record cold low temperatures from Illinois to Maine. Visit weather.gov for your latest, local forecast.

Often on social media, when I post something related to my expertise, I'm immediately told, “But you forgot X!” ... as if a single post encompasses the contents of my entire brain + an encyclopedia to boot.
What’s your most constructive response? Genuinely asking, as I'd love to improve mine!

"Confidence is increasing that we will see a widespread, potentially significant river flooding event across western Washington throughout the first half of next week," said the National Weather Service office in Seattle.
Ten consecutive days of rain in Seattle. Twenty inches of rain in the Cascade Mountains.
Those are just two highlights of the stormy forecast for the Pacific Northwest, where a parade of atmospheric rivers are predicted throughout the next week.

Just a thin layer of ice on roadways is enough to make driving hazardous⚠️
Bridges and overpasses are especially prone to ice formation that is difficult to see, as winds beneath the structures accelerate cooling and maintain lower surface temperatures.
Remember -- Ice or snow take it slow!

A really nice analysis of the strange 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
Lots of excellent data-packed figures.

Here's 10 different views on the 2025 hurricane season from a report we did at Oak Global.
1) ACE was pretty much bang-on average, but the number of hours of Cat 4s was almost double the usual: these contributed nearly all the ACE as we had so few weak Cat 1-2s this year.

The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."

I want to clarify a few points.
First, there was no earthquake or significant ground motion near Reno. Here is the recording from a seismic station nearby. The purple dot is the time that the false alert was issued. Nothing. No ground motion.
