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!

On this date in 1969, Hurricane Camille made landfall in MS – 1 of only 3 Cat. 5s to make U.S. landfall on record. pic.twitter.com/AkHBZugeLc

Its awesome to see something like this. Puts the meteorological field in perspective, and shows how far we have come.

The eclipse next year is going to rank up there among the greats all time in social media hype.

The tornado in Indianapolis last week was a bit crazy, honestly. We have a summary of it in the WxBuzz section from last week!

Another great capture by #Himawari-8 (Geocolor) yesterday of a mature cyclone south of Australia (via @CIRA_CSU) pic.twitter.com/Hq0kNan8lL
