I watched in real time the damage done to NOAA by Trump as a massive tornado was ripping through Somerset Ky. [View all]

When dangerous weather is in my region I will watch "Ryan Hall, Y'all" livestream on YT. He has a small private team and has set up an impressive operation and can relay the NOAA warnings and he and other meteorologist in his group help identify the severe weather when it is happening and even down to streets and business in the path of tornadoes.

Last night an extreme weather system was over the Somerset to London Kentucky area and a massive extremely strong tornado spun up very close to Somerset and intensified quickly. Ryan and crew often identify and call severe weather a few seconds before the official call from NOAA/NWS puts out the official warning.

But last night this thing turned into a monster tornado lofting debris over 30,000 feet into the air indicating a very dangerous storm probably in the EF4 range. Ryan was very upset that the official warning had not been upgraded for many minutes as the tornado was heading for these more populated towns. Ryan mentioned several times how understaffed NWS was with the recent DOGE cuts making it worse.

Finally one of the livestream watchers who also had their house damaged called a NWS office a state away in OHIO to relate his damage and that office was able to update the warning level to the highest 'PDS" (Particularity Dangerous Storm).

It is great their are private resources like this YouTube channel, but cutting these government services is causing real danger and injury to real people.

I hope the Billionaires enjoy their Tax Cuts.
