In the news last night and early this morning I kept hearing that Trump stormed out of court, but in the video, they showed of him leaving the courtroom, it looked more like he shuffled or waddled, not stormed.
If the video is meant to depict him 'storming', I think I'll have to readjust my expectations of what is meant by the news media's exaggerated statements.

Unlocking the Secrets of #Storms and #WaterQuality: A Closer Look at #River Dynamics
Frequency of hailstorms increases by 40% around Sydney and Perth since 1979, research finds.
That's The Guardian headline. What does the paper say:
"statistically significant increases in annual hail-prone days on the southern parts of the east and west coasts, which cover several major Australian cities. Relative changes in cities in which increases were detected are up to ~10% per decade around Sydney, Perth and Canberra, and up to ~20% per decade around Hobart."
The Guardian article is here, and there's a link to the paper at the end. The paper is great, full of maps of hail trends in Australia. And for those interested, the detail of the method for how to estimate if hail has occurred when there is no one there to see it.

I just freaked myself out in the kitchen because I could hear whispering.
I couldn't work out what it was. I checked the google speakers, the TV, my devices and computer.. everything I could think of. It was definitely coming from inside the house, and definitely coming from the kitchen. I couldn't make out what it was saying.
I started worrying that it was auditory hallucinations, but even though I've been sleeping badly, I have been sleeping.. and in the past my hallucinations have been paired with extended periods of insomnia.
It literally got to the point where I was almost going to message my submissive to see if he'd pop around because I couldn't work out what it was and I was starting to really worry.
Then I figured it out.
It was the wind coming down the stove hood.
This weather is fucking haunted, man. 😐

These powerful winds slam into the ground, causing damage that rivals a weak tornado."

That can be especially dangerous in areas with #EmergencyAlert systems narrowly tailored to the types of disaster that have historically occurred there."

Most summer afternoons when the east coast & west coast seabreezes collide, a line of intense thunderstorms are generated & march west towards the Gulf of Mexico. This was taken at a downtown marina as the dark, ominous clouds began to roll in. Loved the contrast of the glassy smooth waters ahead of the impending turbulence.

Atmospheric scientist Chris Nowotarski explains why the science is so hard.
