Hey bro, there was a significant tornado in Japan, and you didn't tell me bro? I thought we were friends bro! Why bro? WHY?!

Question. We had pretty heavy lightning here, as with many places yesterday, but when the lightning was overhead, I kept hearing some kind of a whistling noise in the air after every bolt. Never really heard that before, but it was definitely from the lightning. Any ideas?

Wild weather in Yufuin today. Caught some pretty active rotation in a storm that I actually started to think might try spawning a funnel cloud at one point, but then it lost cohesion. @weathermizu.bsky.social

@weathermizu.bsky.social Morning buddy. My gut's telling me there's some potential in these clouds today. What are your instruments saying?

@weathermizu.bsky.social We have one HELL of an active lightning strom here in Yufuin. Saw four close, visible sky-to-ground strikes within ten minutes. Took video, will upload once I check it.

Well, I am officially on leave again for two weeks due to burnout and a desperate need to figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong with my life.

Need to take a few days to let my mind and body calm down, then I'll see if I can't take a trip somewhere for a day or so.

Here's cool rotation though.

Hello my friend. Looks like you have some juicy action firing up to the north of you!

Quickly, too, from the looks of it. Hopefully we'll get at least a little action here, later.

#kyushu Very unstable atmosphere in thermal is expected for upcoming Monday associated with a upper cold low. It may bring severe thundery shower to N Kyushu in the afternoon. Updates later.

Just a little over an hour ago, I caught this over the bay between Beppu and Nishi-Oita (This is what I was talking about @weathermizu.bsky.social):
March 27, 2025 at 9:06 AM
Oh man, what a day for weather! Caught two moments of clear rotation in the clouds both directly overhead, then off in the distance. Nothing that evolved into anything properly tornadic (that I saw), but cool anyways! What do you think, @weathermizu.bsky.social?

So, these guys are hovering over Yufuin today. They look like asperitas to me. What do you think, @weathermizu.bsky.social? Seen a lot of them over the last 8 months here.

A video appeared online that reportedly shows Chinese people wearing a Russian military uniform.One of them has a marking of a Russian Bars military unit

It’s reported that the video was filmed in the Pokrovsk direction.

The video hasn’t been verified, it’s unclear where&when it was filmed

Some very strong, chaotic winds blowing this morning. Actually raised some of the hairs on the back of my neck. How do things look over there, @weathermizu.bsky.social?

Flashing back to the end of summer last year, when I caught this little funnel just outside Yufuin.

Makes me wonder what surprises we're in for this year.

Cloud clusters are formed over Kumamoto by so-called orographic uplift (as wind flow lifted up and over mountains, moisture condenses to build clouds). It very often happens in the area. #kyushu

Interesting, but dangerous. Not that I disagree entirely, but that would immediately force us into armed conflict with China. I am... not convinced that we have our shit anywhere near together enough for that.
Two dozen House Republicans are backing a resolution to formally recognise Taiwan. The resolution would encourage President Donald Trump to abandon the US’s long-standing "One China" policy and formally recognise Taiwan as autonomous. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...
Trump must dump 'One China' policy and recognize 'free' Taiwan, House Republicans say
Two dozen House Republicans from across the political spectrum are backing a resolution to formally recognize Taiwan – a break in U.S. policy that would rankle leaders in Beijing.

Graham Allison's views on China and Taiwan need to be decisively rejected: "Allison suggested a new communiqué could include a promise by the U.S. never to recognize 'an independent country called Taiwan' under any circumstances..."

The KMT has initiated a recall motion against legislator Tsai Chi-chang, who also serves as the head of Taiwan’s baseball league.

His wrongdoing? Handing out New Year couplets with the phrase “Taiwan is the bravest” on it. The phrase originates in baseball and is mostly apolitical.

This reveals that RFK’s whole “oh you can get a vaccine if you want to, just no mandates” thing is bullshit because he’s going after the vaccines themselves.

Vaccines which, for the record, are one of the keystones to our civilization. Particularly regarding the survival of children.
