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!

The fires in the southeast have been bad. Read about them!

May 9th, the highlight of the spring for me…Wynnewood, OK and the best tornado I’ve seen so far in my life. pic.twitter.com/lBqXToWsOv

This tornado was bad, but very photogenic!
#5 NWS Atlanta
#Smoke from numerous #wildfires continues to blanket most of north Georgia this afternoon. #gawx pic.twitter.com/CUHS6RRrdC

This is one of the bigger issues with the wildfires. The smoke has gotten into regions where air quality is already bad.

No words. In any other week, this would have been first. But this week it was second. What a travesty!

Who doesn’t love snow? This type of snow is especially beautiful. I miss snow so much.
