This is wonderful. This page turns New York into a massive, zoomable, SimCity-style pixel art map. You can explore the city block by block: streets, skyscrapers, parks, waterfronts, bridges and neighbourhoods. A beautiful rabbit hole for map nerds: isometric.nyc/

SPC is highlighting the most significant tornado risk of 2026 so far. Central Illinois into southwest Michigan is the bullseye, with the highest threat this evening into tonight. Strong to intense tornadoes are on the table. We will be live soon.

Breaking from @hntrbrkmedia: China’s DJI, the world's largest drone manufacturer, has disabled U.S. geofencing on its drones, enabling flights over airports, military bases, and no-fly zones. DJI says it is putting “control back in the hands of the drone operators”

Cell phones across Orange County may have received an emergency alert for an evacuation warning. This is likely related to the #KennethFire in the West Hills area of Los Angeles and does not affect Orange County. There is no threat to Orange County.

Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches are in effect across many parts of California from 11 AM Tuesday through 7 AM Thursday due to strong offshore winds, near-critical relative humidity with poor overnight recovery, and dry fuels. These conditions pose a significant fire risk across both coastal and inland areas. As a reminder, California’s 2024 fire season runs through December 31, 2024. Some of California's most devastating wildfires have occurred in late autumn and early winter, particularly in November and December. Every dry, windy day up until then holds the potential for wildfires. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and make sure you’re prepared. #RedFlagWarning #FireWeatherWatch #ReadyforWildfire

Check out this ground-breaking drone footage of a likely F5 #tornado south of Greenfield, IA. Our multi-camera footage of this #tornado will be provided to Dr. Josh Wurman of the DOW team for photogrammetry! It was this rental that caused @Avis to ban me from being a loyal customer
