Guests: Nelson & Louis TuckerWhen it comes to tornadoes, getting close is both the goal and the danger. For decades, scientists have relied on radar, storm chasers, and ground-based instruments to study these violent storms. But what if we could send something right into the heart of a developing tornado? Maybe something small, nimble, and packed with sensors? That's the mission behind the OTUS Project. Using cutting-edge drone technology, this team is pushing the boundaries of what we can safely and accurately observe from inside tornadic storms. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by members of the OTUS Project to talk about how UAVs are changing the way we study tornadoes, what it's like to deploy them in the field, and how this data could lead to better forecasts and ultimately, save lives.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Otus Project01:37 Personal Journeys into Meteorology06:12 Understanding Tornadoes: The Need for Data10:17 Drone Technology in Tornado Research14:59 A Day in the Life of a Tornado Chase19:39 Challenges and Risks in the Field21:32 First Experiences Inside a Tornado24:50 Collaborations and Data Sharing26:34 Measuring Wind Inside Tornadoes30:19 Choosing Storms and Navigating Obstacles32:12 Regulatory Hurdles and Networking34:17 Future Aspirations for the Otus ProjectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We see righteous Muslims praying, fasting, and following the Sunnah — yet when disasters strike, they're not spared. Floods sweep away families. Earthquakes crush entire neighbourhoods. Oppression increases. And even those who stayed obedient to Allah suffer alongside others. Why does Allah's punishment descend on a whole community — even when there are righteous people among them? In this episode of Ad-Daa wa Ad-Dawaa, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains Imam Ibn al-Qayyim's deep insight into collective punishment. Backed by Quran, Sunnah, and the words of the Salaf, the lesson explores why staying silent in the face of sin… may cost us all. Watch now. The reason might be closer to your life — and your silence — than you think.

Guest: Dr. Brian Bledsoe, University of GeorgiaWhen a hurricane makes landfall, we expect the strongest impacts to hit the coast. But Hurricane Helene proved that the story doesn't end there. With hurricane-force winds reaching more than 350 miles inland, this storm challenged the way we think about extreme weather risk. Are we truly prepared for the full reach of a hurricane, not just this decade but for centuries to come? Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Brian Bledsoe from the University of Georgia, who is an expert on infrastructure and making future building more resilient. There are many opportunities to build back better, smarter, and safer after these events happen, and hopefully strive to not have to rebuild in the same places over and over. From infrastructure challenges to communication gaps, we'll explore what needs to change to keep these communities—both coastal and inland—safe.Chapters00:00 Understanding Hurricane Helene's Impact04:58 Assessing Infrastructure Resilience15:11 Lessons Learned from Hurricane Helene28:02 Addressing Multiple Natural Disasters40:00 The Importance of Comprehensive Infrastructure PlanningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Dr. Anne Heggli, Assistant Research Professor at the Desert Research InstituteWeather forecasts are more than just high and low temperatures or the chance of rain—they're a complex mix of data, models, and probabilities.

It may be easy for us Weather Geeks, but we need to make weather forecasts accessible to as many people as possible, which is exactly the challenge our guest today is tackling!

Recent studies have shown that the production of textiles contributes nearly to 8-10% of global carbon emissions, superseding emissions from the aviation and shipping industries combined. Designer and CEO, Pamela James, joins us today to discuss her take on sustainable fashion and the concept of modularity. We're a society of mass production and overconsumption, but today you'll see that less really is more.

Guest: Dr. Levi Boggs, Georgia Tech Research InstituteWhen we think of lightning, we picture bolts striking the ground during a thunderstorm—but not all electrical activity stays within the lower atmosphere. High above the clouds, mysterious and fleeting flashes of light dance across the sky—sprites, blue jets, and gigantic jets—phenomena that are still not fully understood. Today on Weather Geeks, we're exploring the enigmatic world of upper atmospheric electrical phenomena with Dr. Levi Boggs, whose latest research is shedding new light on these elusive events. From cutting-edge observations to the impact these events may have on aviation, space weather, and even our understanding of lightning itself, we're thrilled to have Dr. Boggs here to break it all down!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Upper Atmospheric Electrical Phenomena04:58 Transient Luminous Events: Types and Characteristics10:58 Differences Between TLEs and Traditional Lightning16:02 Observing TLEs: Opportunities and Challenges20:58 Research Focus: Gigantic Jets and Their Impacts25:14 Challenges in Studying Transient Luminous Events28:22 The Importance of Observations in TLE Research31:31 Field Campaigns and Citizen Science33:05 Understanding Lightning Through TLE Research36:24 Future Aspirations in TLE ResearchSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
