Yep, it’s a case of the HAZMAT mundays here in Chicago.

How’s your Monday going?
Well, this won’t make today better…

I see Mother Nature doesn’t want me to enjoy this #AlohaFriday
Reporting live from the leading edge of this severe weather…
Another social media class on this Thirsty Thursday…including a new jacket.

Most EOCs are relatively cold so appropriate apparel is always appreciated.

Seems like I’m pushing hard on the organic reach deets.

Maybe people can’t spell backwards…HA!

Just some random fireworks tonight…
Sometimes you gotta celebrate the future…

Not a bad view tonight…
People are waiting through the bad weather for the 2026 Chicago Air/Water Show.

Just hope that people bring a few extra precautions to aid the rain/wind.
Also, glad to see the interest and love for our DOD/DOW partners who are in town this week.

Current #HIWx with inbound #Hurricane #LaLa on the track.
To my family and friends in #Hawaii – stay safe and heed all warnings from officials.
Because if this hits, this will be the first hurricane to make landfall in Hawaii since 1992 (Hurricane Iniki).

It’s Aloha Friday so while here, I gotta check in with my favorite Buoy…

These sea buoys are used to marker rise/fall levels in the ocean…which should give plenty of warning to those in the way of a tsunami.
In case there’s an earthquake in the pacific rim, well in advance, these buoys report data which drives early warning messages to my my family in Hawaii a chance to get to evacuate and get to higher ground.
Gotta love these early warning resources to better keep the public (and my family) a bit safer during an emergency.
Happy Aloha Friday everyone!
Indeed!

One of my favorite signs from my friends at the DOD/DOW…
Applies to many things in life too
Shhhhhhh
Outstanding helistop…

Ground level helicopter like this make it easier for medium duty/heavy lift helos.
Always good to know rendezvous points at every Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
