The US NWS is soliciting comments on the possible use / trial of Bluesky. I plan to encourage them to also look at the fediverse and, at a minimum, use Bridgy Fed to bridge to Mastodon (hat tip to NWS Boston, which is already doing this). #NWS#NOAA#SKYWARN#USWx#MAWx

Lots of watches and warnings right now in the US. (Flood watches/Flash Flood Warnings/Heat Advisories, all the red stuff in the PacNW etc is Red Flag Warning and wildfire risk). http://nowcoast.noaa.gov

"Let’s be clear: this isn't about #RosieODonnell. Trump is testing the waters for how far he can go in punishing dissent. If he thinks he can strip away someone's rights because he doesn’t like what they say, we’re already in authoritarian territory. #Trump knows exactly what he’s doing.
He’s trying to distract us."

Several more inches of #rain are expected Sunday in areas of Central #Texas already devastated by #flooding. Up to 4" could fall Sunday, w/ isolated areas potentially receiving up to 10" thru Monday, per #NWS.
Jason Runyen, a meteorologist for Austin, San Antonio & the surrounding areas, said that while river levels across the region had receded, more rain could exacerbate flooding in the area. Flash flooding in the region killed >67 people, w/dozens missing.
There was a recent #flashflood #flood in #Texas which killed a lot of people. Most tragically a girl's summer camp is still missing many girls
Here law enforcement in Texas blames the #NationalWeatherService. The same #NWS#Trump has cut funding for
If you think #MAGA will learn, no they won't
They blame "libruls" "Demoncrats" and the media. This is a reflexive, almost religious conviction, even when it's obviously their own damn fault
We'll see this again with a disease outbreak

"As the best and the brightest were being fired at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by senseless and draconian ‘DOGE’ cuts earlier this year under Trump, with no reason given except for the need to cut a paltry amount of the government’s budget, experts warned repeatedly that the cuts would have deadly consequences during the storm season. And they have."
