After fire weather reprieve this wknd, with lighter winds & higher humidity, another significant fire weather event may develop next Mon-Wed. Fairly high uncertainty with this, but range of outcomes is from weak-ish to very strong indeed. Will bear close watching. #CAwx #CAfire

Checked Twitter for more Hawaii fire updates this morning: the top results are still largely conspiracy and QAnon swill.

Twitter is now an exponentially less useful tool for disaster updates than it was just a few months ago.

How do you consume your news? Without Twitter, how can we make it easy to get/digest?
