Bristol #balloonfiesta doing a somewhat noisy overflight at 07:00. When the balloons' burners are that loud it means they're a bit too low for comfort

Back in #Bristol to be greeted by sunshine in advance of the #BristolBalloonFiesta

The #BalloonFiesta is one of my favourite times of the year in Bristol, even if I don't have such a convenient nice view of them as I had at my previous flat and have to go out of my way to get a view...

I actually have. My phone switched to SOS at some point during the Albuquerque International #BalloonFiesta. I’m assuming mine was too much network congestion. https://t.co/PpXsGYXKnd https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1580639023596732416

Ya, no, I wasn’t tired last night. Nope, not at all…🤣🤣🤣. Also in the “sleep bank” you can see me go from Covid Sleep to #BalloonFiesta sleep. That #CrewLife is rough on the old sleep schedule… https://t.co/jUllVGMnlC https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1579527893767835648

Yes phone, this definitely meets my sleep goal. Getting up at 8am is gonna feel like sleeping in! #BalloonFiesta #SleepDepivation #WhoNeedsSleep? #WellYoureNeverGonnaGetIt… https://t.co/3ZyKtDxokt https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1579317476713988098

Another #BalloonFiesta is in the bag, literally! This marks my 20th Fiesta

RT @MayorKeller: These folks are celebrating more than 50 years of Fiesta, they're going on 50 years of marriage!

As heard in a very deep deadpanned midwestern: “Linda, the drone show is on.” #BalloonFiesta https://t.co/0EYSA7A31y https://t.co/OlKQ1bv8Aa https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578719886142234624

RT @Tom_Garrity: An isolated thunderstorm developed rapidly over #BalloonFiesta park. With an estimated 40,000-50,000 people onsite, guests were provided access to shelters (buildings, buses, tents) and encouraged to go to their vehicles. https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578587889788944384

RT @peakwx: Collapsing storms over Double Eagle II airport earlier this evening sent outflow boundary eastward into the RGV. Rogue storm over #balloonfiesta park was one of only two that formed along that entire boundary. The odds… #nmwx https://t.co/o3IyeNbYtW https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578587501383815168

From @BalloonFiesta: “Shelter in place has been lifted. School busses are being cued to take guests back to respective park and ride locations. Lost and Found centers set up at Sid Cutter Pavilion and Public Safety Center (mid field). No other events this evening.” #BalloonFiesta https://t.co/JHrlbMiYlA https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578571412444430336

Btw, this was all weather related. A VERY STRONG weather cell developed over the #BalloonFiesta park without any warning

RT @JoeKOAT: So sad, just as the first Balloon Glow of Fiesta 2022 was starting, a lone thunderstorm forms right at #balloonfiesta park. Spectators are being asked to move to a more sheltered area because of the lightning. #balloonfiesta #nmwx https://t.co/mEDnLbQjYC https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578559589162749952

RT @Tom_Garrity: New Mexico Weather can change on a dime. Guests are being moved to inside #BalloonFiesta shelters, Sid Cutter Pavilion and Event Center. School buses are arriving on the launch field as an additional shelter in place. https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578559353648336897

FYI, if you are at @BalloonFiesta tonight! “Friday, October 7, 2022 - 7:28 PM - Weather Alert - Guests who are onsite should move to the Sid Cutter Pavilion, Event Center or board school buses (arriving on the launch field) as a shelter in place.” #BalloonFiesta https://t.co/jfGAoesRWM https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578558537655259137

Super localized storm cell over #BalloonFiesta park (cus of course). Had the house opened up (Live super close to the park) and was like “Is that rain” and yep! And this was after the green flag went up. No offense, but glad we aren’t in the field tonight… https://t.co/oRQAKwDWwK https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578555290504810497

Let’s go fly! #BalloonFiesta https://t.co/KVy576ChHV https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1578393959990059010
