WxOrNotBG Tweets of the Week

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!

#10 Mike Theiss

There will be a lot of Hurricane Matthew tweets in this, so get ready!

#9 Eric Blake

That is great! Well deserved for this NHC meteorologist and the other NHC meteorologists.

#8 Brad Panovich

Matthew was an incredible storm.

#7 Russell Dengel

Holy moly; in a week with lots of Hurricane talk, and destruction from Matthew, this sight is very cool.

#6 Taylor Trogdon

This was freakin’ crazy. I haven’t seen a band of precipitation that intense in a long time.

#5 Aimee Wilmoth

Whoa 😳.

#4 Philip Klotzbach

Interesting. Matthew was one of the rarer storms in recent times.

#3 FTVLive

Matthew was devastating along the eastern coast of Florida and up into the South Carolina coastline. Lots of storm surge, and lots of damage.

#2 Philippe Papin

Holy. Moly. Matthew was a very, very intense hurricane on Thursday, and the eastern shore of Florida was very lucky that Matthew stayed 20 miles east of the forecast path.

#1 Ian Livingston

This is an image that will live on after this storm. The name Matthew likely will never be used again, as it will be retired. But the beauty of having two intense hurricanes at the same time in the central and western Atlantic? That is a weather image that I’ll never forget.
