This is what Hurricane #Lee has transformed into in the last 24 hours. Incredible intensification into a cat 5.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The storm shown here is Hurricane Jova, not Hurricane Lee. Infrared imagery for Jova (tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.…) does not match up with infrared imagery for Lee (tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.…).

Dear, whoever released an entire Pacu (a South American fish closely related to Piranha) into a NEIGHBORHOOD pond; how dare you.

Death Valley at 1 am this morning was a mind-boggling 120°F (49°C), before bottoming out at 105°F (40.6°C) at 7 am. One of the hottest nights in Earth's recorded history.

Persian Gulf International Airport in Iran reported a heat index of 152°F (66.7°C) today at 12:30 pm. Those are intolerable conditions for human/animal life.

When you burn people out, you push them out. Stars are the first to leave—they have the most opportunities. The solution is not to pile on the perks. It’s to pinpoint the root causes of overload and design more manageable jobs. If you want to keep people, stop exhausting them.

Holy shit! This video of Wisconsin State Rep. Chuck Wichgers arguing against access to contraception is INSANE! Honestly, if you told me it was parody, I would believe you. Only it’s not. It’s real.

Here's an update on the recently observed and model forecast of #smoke from Canadian wildfires. Numerous communities in the eastern U.S. can expect another day of poor #AirQuality per the near surface smoke forecast. re.ssec.wisc.edu/s/v2BVKT - Outlook through 07 UTC on June 8th -

This is making my existence very difficult and uncomfortable. Ugh.
The recent surge in Canadian wildfire activity underneath a highly stagnant anomalous ridge has resulted in smoke overspreading much of the northern half of the US in the last few days. Here's a loop of the smoke evolution (RAP-Smoke model images from rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/RAPsmo…):
