I miss the days when Twitter was fun & informative.

One caller asked for help finding her brother. Another needed info about evacuation routes. A third worried if a nearby dam was about to burst. And many callers said "I'm just so proud of my neighbors."
Local radio in western North Carolina is a literal lifeline right now 🧵
I’m excited to be one of the Game Makers at this show! #avl

Feel like its been a while since you last saw snow outside the mountains? Well, we checked the records and it has been a long time. Can this winter bring any measurable snow? Guess we will have to wait and see.

Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material, traveling at 100 miles per second, shoot off the sun. Earth's magnetic field deflects most of it, but not all. The solar wind, a stream of charged particles, flows at 447 km/s (1 million mph), and while the magnetic field protects us, some particles still cause auroras and geomagnetic storms.

Congratulations to Prem Rawat who recently held a lecture in front of 375,603 people 😳
The hour long lecture titled 'Know Thyself' was given in Hindi to residents of Gaya in Bihar.
I’d say that @PatrickMcHenry might prefer to stay on the job as House Finance Committee Chair because it is a lot of power with less stress, but could end up a reluctant Speaker. #ncpol #wnc #Speaker

I’ve become the kind of person I despise, the kind of person who never wants to leave West Asheville.

It is almost certainly photographable from the high terrain of WNC right now, I hope someone is on it!!!
If someone is feeling adventurous, tonight is the kind of night that I would roll the dice on an aurora chase in WNC, if I were there…
It’s not a slam dunk by any means, but I’m pretty sure you could squeak out some reds using a camera from a dark, high elevation peak #aurora
