Twitter is a meteorologist’s best friend and worst enemy. Meteorologists send out hundreds of tweets per day, and it is such a useful tool for dispensing information. Many times, though, hype will begin and spread like fire on Twitter. Other times, it saves someone’s life. Therefore, Twitter sees the best and worst out of meteorologists every week, and it gets really fascinating to watch. These are the 10 best Tweets I found from this past week!

A great example of a CC hole in the inflow region of a supercell. This is NOT a TDS. #txwx pic.twitter.com/2Ms8Ctdx9b

This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. You can see the corkscrew that the updraft is taking, indicating the rotation of the updraft, and you can see the rainshaft in the background, indicating the organization of the storm. So, so, so cool.

This storm was awesome, and was a monster to look at. It cycled in close proximity to the same spot for quite sometime on Saturday.
