We’re living in the future. My first experience with #Waymo The ride was surprisingly pleasant. It drives smoothly. Its reaction time seems faster than humans. It’s wildly intuitive. I was impressed.

🌪️TORCON 4 TODAY🌪️ A low in Alberta, Canada with a trailing cold front through the Dakotas, will help trigger severe storms and a few tornadoes today. The TORCON is a 4 in South Dakota. This is a medium risk for tornadoes on the 1-10 scale. Storms should begin by late afternoon and continue into the night. Have safe place to go should warnings be issued. Large hail greater than 2” in diameter is also possible. Try to park your vehicle under cover, if possible. Be safe everyone. #weather #tornado #sdwx

⚡️Storms Where? Seriously?⚡️ The greatest risk for severe thunderstorms today will be in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Winds gusting to 60 mph, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are possible. Even though the TORCON is low today(2), it has been low for the last 5 days and we’ve had 15 tornadoes. Be safe. Oregon Tornado Sats: -tornadoes are rare -over the last 25 years, Oregon averaged ~2/year -Oregon has had 134 tornadoes since 1950 -Nobody has ever died in a tornado in Oregon -The strongest Oregon tornado was a F3 in April, 1972(This tornado killed 6 in Vancouver, WA) #weather #storms #orwx #wawx #idwx
