Damage surveys will confirm and classify the intensity for record purposes.

But if a trained spotter or first responder gives confirmation of tornado on the ground, it's merely for grading and records. At that point, it's a confirmed tornado.

The majority of "radar indicated" tornadoes are circulation within the cell with potential to drop a funnel cloud, but they actually don't.

That's why the spotter confirmation is so valuable.

He'll have to lie or admit he was advocating another assassination attempt on Trump .

Or you're a f*&^ing idiot who follows the MAGA victim complex...

Some of the president's goals dovetail with things Democrats have been talking about for a long time.

I've been saying this since the 2020 election cycle.

It's hilarious to me to watch MAGA idiots adopt "liberal" positions and talking points as if they're newly realized problems they have the solutions for, completely devoid of any acknowledgement that their voting practices since Reagan have caused the vast majority of them.

Someone IN the storm had to send in photos of a tornado before the NWS could get it declared a tornado because it was so understaffed.

Tornadoes are identified and classified by different observations. Radar indicated is usually the first and will spark a tornado warning by NWS. The next is spotter confirmed, which will bump the classification and they'll usually update the risk associated with it (tornado watches are red squares on a radar screen, spotter confirmed will be red square with a black outline). Sometimes they'll upgrade if a radar indicated debris ball is observed.

But spotter confirmed is gold standard. Always has been regardless of staffing.

It's been an intense spring here. Probably the most intense I've experienced since moving here in 2011.

We've had two tornados pass within a mile of our house, one of which we watched drop from the cloud base from our front porch.

This last round of storms we got hit with a super cell that dropped golf ball sized hail with a consistent 20 minutes of grape to quarter sized hail and 60 mph wind gusts. That same cell dropped the tornado that ripped through St Louis city about ten minutes after it passed us.

Looking forward to the boring summer weather of 90+ every day with horrid humidity but low severe weather threat.

Has DOGE saved up enough cash for these new endeavors?

That depends, will they be hooked up to Starlink?

I could easily go on. According to your vote shame rules you enable all of that and then some.

Yes, we
Know you could add more bulls^*% to the list.

Expect this to become the standard line from folks who previously called any attempts to interfere with corporate profitability anti-American.

They're becoming more socialist than the supposed soshulistz they claim to be against.

And at least in my field, the firms have begun getting ridiculous in their requirements for investing. They essentially want all the riskiest stuff done before they buy in, but then want the majority of profit and benefits.

It's all about extracting as much easy money as possible, they couldn't give two s^*%s about the people or patients were trying to help.

Tell me you have no idea how innovative new small startups come along and make major breakthroughs in all aspects of our lives.

Talk about hating just hate... the party of love and tolerance my ass.

lol I've worked at startups.

Like anything else, there are good and bad. The last startup I was at, the OG investor is a great guy. Still friends with him.

The vultures who invested after all the hard work was done and paid for then started trying to tell us how it needed to be done? A bunch of -------- interested in rate of return, not doing it right.

Spare me your nonsense.

But according to JPW and Danforth, if we just elect Democrats it will all disappear overnight.

Cool strawman.

So does this mean no Republican will EVER complain of debt or deficits again?

#29 | Posted by Danforth

I think I've realized why your math, logic and history-based arguments fall on deaf ears like that skidmark ---------.

That s(*& stain's worldview is entirely 2D. 1D being the end of his own nose and the 2D being only about a year in the future.

Probably not a particularly insightful realization, however, I think it's still worth mentioning.

Also, I truly don't care what you think of me JPW. With that said, I will school your ass on economics and the market any day of the week.

#26 | Posted by Bluewaffles

LOL yes. You are a piece of s(*&. I have no doubt you can better explain to me the mindset of a piece of s*&^ than I can.

Finance, VC and PE are the bane of our existence. That you can "explain" how the market controlled by your particularly vile piece of s*&^ type of existence to your betters doesn't mean you know s(*&, f*&^bag.

So go ahead and give us your nonsense metrics that you think make you "successful." I'll just laugh because to decent people like me, you're just reiterating why you're trash.

Fox has announced a new show called ICE, it's said to be modeled after Cops.

So they want to televise the eventual violent resistance to the violation of constitutional rights?

I'm not sure that will work out the way they want it to.

Failing to pass tax cuts, it will roil the market into turbulence and would make the Tarrif spat feel as though you went over a speed bump.

LOL yeah right s*&^bag.

You're a finance douche. That tracks.

Y'all are the most worthless f(*&s on the planet.

Which is why you conveniently forget the fallout and cause of the two previous times this happened.

Has fistedp^&&(,fartfisher, scotts*&^head or bellrung bothered chiming in yet to tel us how this is different and not a big deal?

Again don't worry about S&P and Fitch downgrading our credit during Democrat administrations.

WE WERE YOU STUPID F*&^.

The hilarity is that you idiots who caused it are now pointing to it as if its existence means now isn't a big deal.

But that's because you're f*&^ing idiots. So STFU already and piss off. You idiots aren't worth a s*&^ and are the cause of more problems than solutions.

Everyone seems to be crickets regarding the credit downgrade during the Obama AND Biden era ...

What are you talking about s(*&bag? Many of us were quite vocal about the downgrades then because they were both caused by GOP theatrics and lunacy.

Idiot.

plans for a weekend celebration are being put together by.....Draftkings....probably in vegas.

What a ---- loser.

What a stupid waste of resources.

Especially from the people who think using guns to shoot s*&^ in political ads isn't a threat or insinuation of violence but suddenly a common phrase for "get rid of" is a threat...

MAGA is pathetic.

You have it exactly backwards as libs always do.

#63 | Posted by THEBULL

No, you're just a stupid, bitter, miserable f*&^ who makes s*&^ up as he goes to fill the void of ignorance he has in his head.

JPW implies that those who entered illegally with minimal vetting and were then released deserves years of "Due Process" ... not to be
Prosecuted for a crime, but simply to be returned back.

Bellringer implies he doesn't know what the Constitution says, nor does he support its enforcement.

rather than on Jan. 1, 2029, as the package proposes.

It's amazing how many poison pills are being packed into this bill. It seems like every policy I see discussed/analyzed has some sort of provision for expiration right when a new administration would take over.

This isn't about "the left" saying anything, dips*&^, this is about WalMart saying it.

Actual weaponized DoJ and idiot righties support it.
