Hey, anyone know if @NOAA's SciJinks site is down permanently? 😖
Assigned their Precipitation Simulator for a few years and now it's not accessible.

Colleague went to NY and brought back so many new-to-me flavors of @PolarSeltzer to try: First up were Poolside Grape Pops and Blueberry Lavender...Both were DELICIOUS! Can't wait to try the other ones.

If you live on the upper floors of an apartment building, you need to ask about the location of publicly available tornado shelters

Don't think I've ever seen such a clear video of structural failure in a tornado.
This is why we always say get to the lowest floor, away from windows. Tougher in apartment buildings like this but still important.

Now people are posting and re-posting fake images of the St. Louis tornado. Sometimes I really hate this season.

So, there's been a development with my aloe plant that I rescued from a dumpster back in 2007...Have never seen it do this before - very thankful for such surprises! 😍🪴
ALT A large, potted aloe plant sits in a sunny window, with a long spire coming out of the center of it. Atop the spire look to be closed flowers. The aloe has been in my care since 2007 and it has produced numerous offspring. This is the first time it has produced a spire, however.
