My SIL is at a church youth camp near Mount Hood and sent me a video of her hiking through a thunderstorm in the woods yesterday. I inquired further and she told me the leaders didn't know it was going to storm.

I reached out to our bishop and we're going to put together a workshop so that the adult leaders can be empowered to know what to look for to avoid this in the future rather than relying on a simple phone weather app.

I don't fault people for not knowing, but now that I know it's a problem I feel like it's my responsibility as a meteorologist to help improve the situation. For now they're proactively texting me asking for updates through the end of the campout. Glad to see they're doing what they can.

Meteorologist Jonathan Belles explains how terrain like #valleys can funnel the sound, while temperature inversions create a megaphone effect that amplifies it. Positive lightning strikes carry up to ten times more #energy and produce much louder #thunder than typical strikes.

This article about the recent heat wave in Europe, which killed so many people, gets to the heart of the problem — in places beyond Europe, too.

“The signal is clear: heat is now the deadliest weather hazard we face, and the majority of these deaths are preventable,” she says. “We can now forecast these events with considerable accuracy; what we have not done is build the systems, across health, housing, social care and transport, for example, that translate an accurate forecast into actual protection. Adaptation is not keeping pace with the risk.”
