Fireworks cover sky,
From a plane, they shrink to specs.
Lightning's the whole sky.

#SEVERE #THUNDERSTORM #WATCH:

The threat for severe #weather has picked up with a watch until 11 p.m. for most of the #Northland.

We will be monitoring the current #storms passing through the #Arrowhead for additional strengthening, with more developing to the south and east likely to get underway soon.

Greatest threats are for high #winds, large #hail, and a possible weak spin-up #tornado.

Many places have seen intense weather in the past few months, especially thunderstorms.

Science News explains how thunderstorms "can spawn damaging 'downbursts.’
These powerful winds slam into the ground, causing damage that rivals a weak tornado."

#Hurricane #Idalia could become 2023’s costliest #climate #disaster for the #US - Analysts estimate the category 3 storm has already racked up a preliminary cost of $9.36bn, straining the insurance industry.

The category 3 storm that barreled into Florida’s west coast from the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, then carved a path of destruction and flooding through Georgia and the Carolinas, has a preliminary price tag between $9.36bn, based on early estimates, from risk analysts at UBS, and $18bn-$20bn calculated by AccuWeather.

It follows 15 previous “individual weather and climate disasters” recorded in the US already this year by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) as unprecedented #heat, #wildfires, #storms and #floods escalate.

Cumulatively, #Noaa said that by the end of July, which #Nasa said was Earth’s hottest month on record, the total estimated cost of the damage caused by the disasters was $39.7bn. That figure does not include the estimated $5.5bn cost to rebuild the town of Lahaina following devastating wildfires that razed the Hawaii island of Maui this month."

Deepest sympathies to everyone without power. It's frustrating that we can't do better. It sucks that we have to worry about this every time there's more than a stiff breeze.

From the Detroit Free Press: 374,000 without power after Michigan storms; tornado confirmed in Ingham County - https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/08/25/michigan-storms-power-outages-tornadoes/70676578007/

I'm usually sad to see Summer go, but I'm ready for Fall this year. The weather has been seriously wicked. Sending love to everyone dealing with damage and power outages this morning.

Germany: Storms force evacuation of more than 1,000 campers

Something randomly popped up in my feed, and several times I've had people make incorrect statements about this, so for today's #FactFriday I'm going to debunk the myth that " #Hail #Storms normally happen in Winter".

People who say this think "it's cold in Winter, so makes sense", but in actual fact the opposite is needed for hail (well, maybe if you live somewhere where it's already below freezing, but if not...). What is needed for hail to form in warmish climates is... heat!

Yikes. 333,771 out in Michigan so far and probably more to be reported. At least one confirmed tornado. I feel very lucky tonight. Stay safe, everyone!

Sure sounds like a tornado neat west side of Cleveland, but no warnings or watches out. Just flash flood and t-tstorm warnings

When natural disasters fueled by a changing climate grab the headlines, #FEMA gets most of the scrutiny on the government response. But feds generally swoop in 2 aid recovery after storm has passed. Local #emergencymanagers are first 1st on the ground. They know the roads, access points community dynamics. Rapidly #warming #planet makes #fires, #storms more frequent, intense, localities R facing unprecedented conditions and they are not prepared. #ClimateCrisis https://www.politico.com/newsletters/power-switch/2023/08/22/climate-disasters-are-clobbering-local-responders-00112247
