It has been a while, but I am looking forward to starting this back up! Twitter is a meteorologist’s best friend and worst enemy. Many times, 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!

Every time I read “wedge” tornado, I just think of the potato wedges instead.

I, along with many meteorologist, was angry with NBC for falsely claiming that, “The tornadoes came without warning”. That is total bologna.

Wow, look how fast that #tornado spun up west of Guin.. Id imagine it’s lifted by now pic.twitter.com/aTiIuAAiIr

While we can’t definitively say that was a tornado based off of radar alone, it is very cool to see how radar shows us where a tornado might be.
