Yikes! Good thing I decided to stay home yesterday! (I sometimes venture into #PortlandME during the week.)

If you are in the path, or just like to watch storms, this is for you:
-
There is a confirmed tornado with a debris field in the area of Parker County, Texas. One of the storm chasers drove into it.
-
It's almost 9PM in Dallas, isn't it? Or is it 8PM? Big backup on one of the freeways the 2" hail is headed for.
If you own an auto repair and paint shop in Dallas, this is your time to shine, and also to afford that boat you've always dreamed of.

There are 911 calls about a building collapse in northern St. Louis, where strong winds have been pounding parts of the area.

#NIRS - The Global #NuclearWaste Crisis
"Clean air and drinking water and healthy food are the very foundation of a just and livable world. They are already more precious than ever due to the climate crisis.
#NuclearPower and #NuclearWeapons are poisoning our water, air, and lands with vast amounts of #RadioactiveWaste. Much of the harm is inflicted on #Black, #Indigenous, #PeopleOfColor and #LowIncome white communities, due to #StructuralRacism and #injustice.
Radioactive waste poses a global #EnvironmentalCrisis, in tandem with #ClimateChange. The sheer amount of nuclear waste is enough to threaten clean drinking water and healthy food for the whole world.
We are on the frontlines of this problem.
- Nearly one-third of the worldwide total of radioactive waste is in the United States.
- Some communities in the US are already losing their drinking water sources to radioactive contamination.
- Just one part of the radioactive waste in the US – irradiated nuclear fuel – contains enough radioactivity to make every drop of drinking water on Earth unsafe to consume.We must solve the twin global crises of climate change and nuclear waste. Global warming amplifies the dangers of nuclear energy. Increasingly #SevereStorms, #flooding, #SeaLevelRise, #wildfires and other extreme events increase the risks of nuclear disasters and #RadioactiveLeaks and spills. And, in turn, the impacts of nuclear energy magnify the dangers of climate change:
- Poisoning drinking water and agricultural land on top of more frequent and severe droughts and crop failures.
- Compounding hurricane and flooding evacuations with #RadiologicalDisasters.
- And causing people to lose their homes and communities permanently due to radiation.It’s clear: we can’t afford the dangers of climate change or nuclear waste. And we certainly can’t afford them together.
The solutions to both are at hand. We must act now.
1. To start, we must stop the problems from worsening: no more greenhouse gas emissions, and no more nuclear waste.
2. We need to protect people and the water, air, and food we rely on from the dangers that are upon us. The climate is changing, and we need to protect people for extreme weather, drought, sea-level rise, and food supply disruptions. And we must safeguard our water, air, and land by securing and storing nuclear waste and toxic materials as safely as possible.
3. And, we need to repair the damage and make our world healthy and vibrant again: restoring communities that have been dislocated or polluted, and cleaning up the air, land, and water so we can all thrive, for generations to come."Learn more: (includes https://www.nirs.org/the-global-nuclear-waste-crisis/

There have been 80-100 mph sustained winds for an hour in areas of North Dakota and northern Minnesota tonight. Unreal. Light or no rain in the high-wind areas in the influx behind the storms. Allegedly, there exist videos of people trying to stand upright in the winds.
The Paul Bunyan statue apparently has survived, for those of you on the edge of your seats.
