This event encapsulates a bookclub discussion we had about hope. I had a lack of hope, according to another member. I explained that, as a meteorologist, there's a sense of hopelessness with events like Melissa. Unlike cancer researchers, we can't stop these bad events. Only watch. Its heartbreaking

*Following.

It's been a long week. And it's only Monday morning. But I shouldn't complain, I'm not in Jamaica waiting for Melissa. Just watching the collision from afar.

Not going to lie, hearing that song in 4th grade music class is what for me into weather!! And the Oakfield tornado warning. I still remember my mom saying "there's no tornado, it's sunny here." (We were 100 miles north.)

I'm not sure I'd call AI-RI cutting edge because I grimace whenever I look at the training code. But I'm glad the display is useful!

Yeah and just so harsh. 5 days notice, little time to prepare.

Here's an example of all of the D-MINT intensity estimates for Erick. We thankfully expanded to include other satellites with 183GHz imagery (with help from SSMIS), but losing SSMIS will still leave major gaps.

Mine busted as soon as Stephanie Izard lost so I haven't even been checking it but I'm guessing it's worse. We're finally through the first round.
