           Here’s my favorite shelf cloud photos from Wednesday evenings storms. You don’t see them like this in South Carolina’s low country very often. #scwx #chswx #stormhour

             I'll do you one better, as I highlighted over the last 3 weeks. The 2025 @NASCAR season is the first since 1994 in which ALL THREE National Touring Series had ZERO races postponed or rescheduled pre-race due to weather. #NASCAR | #NASCARPlayoffs | #Championship4
          
           This race is now official. The NASCAR Cup Series will go entire season without a single race postponed by rain! Which, correct me if I'm wrong, @SethEggert91, is the first time that's happened in the Cup Series since 2005. #NASCAR

             Off all the championship seasons robbed of that recognition with this format, these stand out as the worst

             I’m so sick of the format that “rewards winning” giving the championship to drivers that fail to win the most races.

             So few stats by drivers other than Heim. Glad he was able to win the race and championship last night as nobody else deserved it.

             I listened to so many inspiring tales of survival in Crawford #Jamaica today. The common threat: everyday people doing their best in an insane situation: the core of Cat-5 #Hurricane #MELISSA. * Keith ("Benji") Carey survived the storm surge in a tiny cement building on the

             Man. #Hurricane #MELISSA. Incredible power. Perhaps the mightiest hurricane of the 83 I've witnessed. My location (Crawford, a tiny beach town in St. Elizabeth Parish #Jamaica) took the full force of the inner right eyewall and may have seen the peak winds in this historic,

             Small taste of #Hurricane #MELISSA on SW coast of #Jamaica, just as we started getting raked by violent right eyewall. Belive it or not, this was before the peak conditions, when everything turned white, the screaming sound became unbearable, & we needed to bolt the door shut.

            #Hurricane #Melissa has restrengthened to a Category 4 hurricane as it approaches eastern Cuba. The most recent Category 4+ hurricane landfall in Cuba was in 2017, when Irma made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane.

             The St. John Parish Anglican Church building which is also a national heritage site has been destroyed by another disaster after around a decade namely Hurricane Melissa this time Black River, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica

             I would imagine that this piece of data, along with the insane sonde winds and low-level TDR, will be looked at in post-season to see if the peak intensity of #Melissa might have been even higher and tied or beaten Allen (1980) for the all-time strongest Atlantic hurricane. 
           The Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) satellite-derived intensity estimate peaked at 185 knots for #Melissa -- which, according to the developer at CIMSS, is the highest value to date for any tropical cyclone.

            #Hurricane #Melissa has made landfall in Jamaica with max winds of 185 mph - the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall since Dorian (2019). Dorian also made landfall with 185 mph winds when it hit Abaco Island in The Bahamas.  https://t.co/KhxD2KySZX
