Firing of NOAA employees will put nation at risk

 Cutting employees from NOAA may be one of the worst ideas I have ever heard, and now those in power are executing that terrible idea. Earlier today DOGE, a completely unnecessary branch created by those in power who are bribed by money, greed, and are under the influence of Musk, forced NOAA to cut hundreds of employees who carry out extremely important work to help our nation run. DOGE can’t seem to wrap its minuscule brain around the fact that NOAA is a critical part of the United States. These mass layoffs will put the entire nation at risk because we will be losing valuable resources and forecasts that do everything from help us in our daily lives, to helping us prepare for natural disasters. NOAA helps save thousands of lives every year, but due to frivolous cutting from those in power, those thousands of lives may no longer be saved in the future. But since those in power only care about money and staying out of jail, this is the reality we now live in.

  Windstorms Windstorms are some of the most damaging weather scenarios we receive in the Pacific Northwest. Winds we typically receive in the Pacific Northwest are only high enough to be classified as “blustery”, but with the right conditions aloft, areas of the PNW can be hit by highly damaging wind speeds. Wind is caused by a gradient in pressure. By “gradient in pressure” I mean a change from low to high pressure over an area. The tighter the gradient, the higher the wind speeds. PNW wind is caused by a low setting up off the coastline, and then moving over the area. The favorable trajectory for high winds is when the low sets up slightly to the north, because the pressure gradient is typically denser on the south side of the low. The SE corner of the low, (where it begins to curve north), has the highest winds, and these winds are known as Bent Back Occlusion winds.  Wind can also be impacted by local terrain features. Some features can amplify the wind. One of these is t...
