I’m a meteorologist and can explain what happened here. The tree got struck repeatedly because of karma. It was a bad tree. The tree wore the chain it forged in life making it link by link & yard by yard; the tree girded it of its own free will, & of its own free will it wore it.

Look I understand the hair worm needs to eat but why does it have to be such a jerk about it? I don’t understand why it has to be so manipulative and controlling. It’s rude.
@OTerrifying
When you sleep, did you know that you inadvertently eat bugs like spiders, mites, centipedes, millipedes, lantern flies, stink bugs, etc?
There’s actually no basis in fact to what I just said… just one of those stupid myths that has been around for millennia.
@OTerrifying
It’s a crow bomb. Crows get bored and try to give a nice scare by crashing to the ground with great speed and spread out. They have a laugh or two and then fly away. This is quite common.
Thanks to everyone for providing pictures and video during the severe weather. For those of you calling in and screaming at us to get off the air shame on YOU! We will NEVER apologize for putting the safety of others over YOUR entertainment. EVER.

This is a trick question. No one is at fault. It’s just, sometimes, these things happen and we do the best we can to overcome them. It can be hard, I know. But we must challenge ourselves and accept what can’t be undone and not dwell in the past. We must move forward in harmony❤️
Caribbean Plate is bordered by a strike-slip fault which means quakes cause lateral movement as opposed to vertical. You need vertical displacement of water to create disastrous tsunamis. This is why the 2010 Haitian quake didn’t produce a

The time is bittersweet! This is my last weekend on the air at WSBT. I officially sign off next Friday. My career is taking me back to my roots along the East Coast. I have fallen in love with this area and it's why I've been here so long.

I understand why the coyote did what he did. I ordered a cheeseburger the other day, bit into it, and then walked away because I realized the burger was already dead.
This is Benny. He’s been in the family for 8 years suffering from really bad anxiety his entire life. He now has a bulging disc which means he can’t walk. I have to carry him outside to do his business. He’s a scared little guy but we’ve always been close. He lights up my world!
I keep starting my forecast looking at data in South Bend, Indiana forgetting I moved to PA. 3 days in a row now. 🙄 Hopefully I stop doing this by Christmas.

He has accepted a new position at our sister station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which is near where he grew up. There’s no place like home! We wish Ed the best of luck and we will miss him very much. --
A tornado moved through one of the most populated parts of the viewing area tonight and so far NO reported injuries. That's a success story! YOU helped us get the warning out by sending us video/pics to use on the air. Your information is invaluable. I can't thank you all enough!
That's a mighty big wave on

Harrisburg got into the 60s and 70s numerous times in the 1930s, 40s, 50s and so on. There are record highs that still stand to this day from those decades. So no, it’s not unheard of at all.
My cousin’s place in Savannah, GA. They are a couple miles inland from the Atlantic. A rare sight indeed this far south and so close to the coast.

Tomorrow's severe weather setup (left) is eerily similar to that of April 26th, 1991 (right)... at least at 500mb with placement of 500mb low and negatively tilted trough. The 1991 outbreak dropped over 50 tornadoes including an F5 and several F4s.

This was my resume tape that I used when I applied for the position at WSBT 5 years ago. I’d say that I’ve improved a little, not much, but a little. I still have some things to work on. I‘m pretty sure I floored WSBT with my ‘5 day’ planner. March 1997.

Large balloon moving thru NW Missouri right now. Per NWS... this is NOT a weather balloon. Suspicions are that the object originated from central China. At current speed, the balloon will be off the coast of the Carolinas around noon tomorrow.

I will remember today forever because this was hands down the best rainbow I have ever witnessed. I just wish my shadow didn't photobomb the picture! Strasburg, Lancaster County.

I always mention how much water is moving UNDERNEATH the ice. Well this video is a perfect display of just that. Look at the large waves moving under the ice & lifting it inside the channel in South Haven! Never walk on channel or shore ice.

It's a long day for me! I'm doing the morning show, noon show, 4pm show, 5pm show, and 6pm show. I hope to still make sense by the end of the day. The best chance for slurring/bad grammar will be between and 4pm and 6:30pm.

In 2011 I began searching for a roommate. I was looking for someone responsible, reliable, & fluffy. I found you Arnold. You’ve been my mate since Erie, South Bend, now Harrisburg. 3 masses were found on your liver, spleen, & stomach last week & we’re going to fight like hell 🙏🏻
One week ago I helped you put on your new shoes but they didn’t fit. It’s not that they were the wrong size but rather God knew you were getting your wings 🪽 . I’ll be seeing you, Nana. ❤️
One of the more reliable computer models has a record low 23 BELOW Thursday morning and 51 ABOVE Sunday (record high that day is 52). A 74 degree temperature swing in THREE days.
There is a time and place for the climate change discussion. This is not it. You had a hurricane expert at your disposal and instead of asking questions about an imminent threat (storm surge), you divert to talking point politics. Shame. Kudos to
@NHC_Atlantic
for their response.
I just got a new kitty. Unfortunately he developed FIP, a lethal form of feline coronavirus. There's no vet treatment approved by the FDA. The only cure is a form of Remdesivir... the same drug used to treat people w/ Covid-19. Arnold sent me Maurice because he KNEW I'd save him.

My cat, Maurice, was diagnosed with the deadly feline FIP disease in January and found out today he’s officially cured! It took months of treatment to get there and we finally did it!

Blankets, extra clothes, portable chargers should be in your car. If you haven't ever listened to that advice, it's critical you follow it next week. You don't want to be stranded w/o those things in weather like this. Even cars in good condition can fail w/ this degree of cold.

I’m a meteorologist, independent of government and use satellite technology that proves the smoke is from the wildfires in Canada… so… not sure what kind of evidence you’re looking for.
On any given day the chance of a tornado within 25 miles of you is well below 0.1%. Yesterday, the chance of a tornado was 2% since we had strong t'storms. Statistically, that's significant. The probabilities across Texas & Oklahoma today are remarkable, & terrifying.

Unbelievable snow squall just rolled through Camp Hill / Mechanicsburg. Went from 46 to 34 with a quick coating. Visibility was less than 1/8 of a mile! That might be the most impressive winter event I’ve seen this season!
