May 2024 Observations and Discussion
Coming from the "Valley of the Sun"...this is a legit SPRING forecast for Chicago...I'm so happy the sun will be out for 3 days straight! I guess I brought some of that valley sun with me, however, mid 40's definitely feel a wee bit chilly. We have the furnace on this morning and I'm hoping to have a fire later on this evening if the wood is dry.- 1

Polite Politics
Tim Scott is the embodiment of a sellout and yet Trump is seriously considering making him a VP. So that doesn't make sense. Unless you mean he only threw out the sellouts who didn't worship at his feet? Which is, like, pretty much my entire point. -

May 2024 Observations and Discussion
Hello from Chicago! I flew out to my old stomping grounds to visit my family for my nieces communion. I've been watching this weekends weather like a hawk and I'm thrilled that the clipper system is tracking just quick enough and to my east into MI on SAT. Glad to see the rain has been completely taken out of the forecast for both SAT and SUN. Mother's Day is just going to be gorgeous. As some of you know, I just love flying and my flight yesterday was literally my Top 3 "smoothest" flight ever. Not even one bump of turbulence coming out of PHX, or even over the mountains in the SW...not until we began our descent into ORD we had minimal bumps from the clouds, etc. Not to shabby! Oh, and to top it of, we flew in record time as the pilot came on and said the flight will be 2 hours and 45 min! #winning. Normally, its just about 3.5 hours or less.- 1

Some weather History for May 10 1902: A snowstorm drops from 1 to 6 inches of slushy snow across Lower Michigan. The four inches of snow at Muskegon is the latest measurable snow on record there 2006: A small weak tornado, determined to be a “landspout” moved through an open field near Schoolcraft in Kalamazoo County, doing no damage. On May 10, 2003, 1-inch hail was reported in Wyandotte at 12:10 am. 3/4-inch hail was also reported in Redford and Wyandotte on this day. 1880: A tornado estimated to be F4 intensity moved across 20 miles of Scott and Morgan Counties in central Illinois. The tornado touched down near Alsey and moved northeast, passing 8 miles south of Jacksonville. The tornado was strongest in the Pisgah area, where 30 buildings were destroyed. Seven people were killed. 1905: On Wednesday, May 10th, 1905, the Oklahoma Territory was struck by one of the worst natural disasters in early American history. Tornadoes pounded the southwest part of the Territory, one of which flattened the town of Snyder. The “official” death toll is listed today as 97, but the actual number of victims may never be known. One hundred years later, this single tornado remains the second most deadly in Oklahoma history. 1953: Four, F4 tornadoes touched down in parts of eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. One F4 tornado moved northeast from northeast of Fountain City, Wisconsin to Colburn, Wisconsin. The total damage from this storm was $1 million, and it caused ten injuries. The second F4 tornado moved from 5 miles southwest of Chester, Iowa to 4 miles northeast of Chatfield, Minnesota. One man was killed as his barn was destroyed one-mile southeast of Wykoff. A rural school was leveled 3 miles south of Chatfield as well. The third F4 tornado moved northeast and passed about 2 miles northwest of St. Charles, Minnesota. Farms were torn up all along the track. An infant was killed, and four other people were injured in a car that was thrown 100 feet. Overall this tornado killed one person and injured 11 people. The final F4 tornado moved across Rusk, Price, and Taylor counties in Wisconsin. Over $150,000 worth of damage resulted. An F3 tornado moved northeast across Clayton County, Iowa. At least 60 head of cattle were killed. A farmer was carried 700 feet but suffered only minor injuries. 2010: On this day, Oklahoma experienced its largest tornado outbreak since May 3, 1999. Fifty-five twisters tore through the state, including two rated EF4. The EF4 storms took three lives and injured 81 people. Ironically, both EF4 tornadoes struck Norman, Oklahoma, home of the Storm Prediction Center and the National Severe Storms Laboratory. Fourteen additional tornadoes hit Oklahoma during May 11-13. The May 10 disaster racked up insured property losses of $2 billion.
