#OTD in 1988: An F2 tornado carved a 6-mile long path through north-central #Indiana. The slow-moving tornado passed 1.5 miles north of Nappanee, just 300 yards north of a high school, and shortly after that moved through a subdivision where 11 homes were damaged. #wxhistory

15 years ago today chain-reaction accident on I-95 near White Marsh, MD injured 49 people...caused by the glare of sudden hail. Also check out the deadliest hurricane ever...the 1780 Hurricane https://t.co/WPOcmtRRh7 which killed 20,000 plus. #wxhistory #knowyourweather

@JamesFallows @Slate One of the biggest omissions: code for modeling the circulation of the atmosphere in the late 1940s. This made possible great advances in weather forecasting and now is crucial to understanding global warming. #wxhistory

Crucial omission from otherwise nice piece: the code behind models of atmospheric circulation written in the late 1940s, which became basis for weather forecasting and climate prediction today. #wxhistory #ClimateCrisis
