    By Mr Marine Layer,

    Welcome to March Madness 2023, Weather Forums version. I have found 110 recent posters and they are ranked according to a formula, shown below.

    0.5 * (Member's Posts/Most Posts) + 0.5 * (Member's Reputation/Highest Reputation)

    The top 68 members were picked. The results of this contest are based on the actual results of the NCAA Tournament. Colleges are ranked according to the BPI Tournament Rankings on ESPN.com. The ranked members have been matched up with the ranked colleges. If your college (in the table below) advances in the NCAA Tournament, you also advance. Can you make it to the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 or the Final 4? Only one member wins, which will be determined by April 3.

    You can see the rankings and the brackets below. Brackets will be updated as the NCAA Tournament takes place.

    Mt. Merapi Erupts

    By Andie,

    Indonesia’s Mt. Merapi Erupts  

    • A mixture of hot rock, lava and gas travelled up to seven kilometres down the volcano's slopes during the eruption
    • No casualties have been reported
    • Merapi is the most active of more than 120 active volcanoes in Indonesia.

    Merapi, on the densely populated island of Java, unleashed clouds of hot ash and a mixture of rock, lava and gas that travelled up to seven kilometres down its slopes.

    A column of hot clouds rose 100 metres into the air, according to National Disaster Management Agency spokesperson Abdul Muhari

    Tornado Alley Has Shifted East.

    By Andie,

    https://www.accuweather.com/en/severe-weather/is-tornado-alley-shifting-east/1162839

    I grew up in North Texas and watched tornados bounce off the bottom of our hill about 1/4 mile south of us and fly overhead to land at the bottom of the hill to our east.  
    It appears twisters will be more commonly experienced to the Northeast of the Tx/Okla border.  A trend we will not mourn
