In May 2019 I officially became a meteorologist but was saddled with $130K in student debt. I am beyond relieved to say that as of today, August 16, 2023 after 45 months of payments and lots of stress, I am officially debt free! Can’t wait to finally live my life to the fullest.

Me: Only immediate coastal areas will be impacted by Erin. Half my comments: Will Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Illinois be okay?. 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Finally hit a milestone I’ve been chasing for a while: crossed 150K followers on TikTok!. In a world where any jabroni can fear monger on social media for clout, I’m proud to have gotten there through honesty and education, spearheading the digital meteorology transition.

Looks like Erin is taking another wobble to the southwest as she completes her eyewall replacement cycle. Large storms tend to behave erratically, and that’s why we’ve seen some deviations from the forecast track. Does this change anything materially? Not really.

Genuine question. every year it seems models cannot grasp the rate of hurricane RI, why exactly is that? What physically are the models not keying in on? And what research is being conducted and still needs to be done? It just seems like a given to bet on the over in intensity.

Last year, I made a thread showing the step by step process of how I got out of that debt. It was a very intentional process that started while I was in school. Above is a sneak preview of a bloated spreadsheet I used to calculate the fastest way out.

1. Make Myself Marketable. The name of the game is ROI. Going to a top meteorology school, pairing it with a minor in Energy Business and Finance, and earning leadership positions differentiated me from my peers and set me up with a solid first job.

I am proud to say that today is my 2 year anniversary of being debt free 🥳. Paying off ~$130K in student loans was the most stressful thing I ever did but 100% worth the sacrifice. thanks to hard work and determination. Sadly far too many Americans struggle with crippling debt.

As expected, Erin is now officially a Category-5 hurricane at 919 mb, 160 MPH. In 25 hours, she strengthened by 79 mb and 85 MPH. This is DOUBLE RAPID INTENSIFICATION and one of the fastest to ever do it. Once a storm enters a pristine environment, it’s off to the races.

Seems likely that Erin will be upgraded to a Category-5 at the next update. While we knew she would strengthen quickly, this is classified as DOUBLE RAPID INTENSIFICATION considering she made it to Category-1 only 24 hours ago. Truly astonishing. Thankfully not a threat to land.

It's fitting that Erin became our first hurricane of 2025 on August 15, the unofficial start of peak hurricane season. This lasts through mid-October, peaking in mid-September. Roughly 88% of tropical activity (ACE) on average occurs after this date. We are only getting started.
