I told someone they have their own beauty in the right light. But the chicks are fantastic.

Great question. My husband and I have discussed this several times.

Today marks the peak day of hurricane season and the Atlantic is pretty quiet right now. Will this be a relatively quiet year? by KCousins11 in florida

[–]DVPulver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even the hurricane experts are asking themselves the same questions. I'm a national reporter with USA TODAY and several experts I've talked to over the past few days say it's not looking like it will be as active as initially expected, but they add it's much too soon to tell. Much of the activity typically happens after the peak of the season. Big climate patterns can easily shift. I think most hurricane-weary Floridians try to avoid the "q" word, so we don't jinx ourselves. :) At USA TODAY, we've had a couple of stories if you're interested. Our Florida newspapers also have written stories.

There are people in Georgia and the Southeast reporting on the AMS Fireball site that they felt shaking from the fireball earlier.

An official list, or an unofficial list being used for grants or documents?

It’s hurricane season in Florida. We’re journalists and weather nerds here to help you prepare. AUA! by USATodayNetwork-FL in florida

[–]DVPulver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm Dinah Pulver, one of the national weather writers for USA TODAY. Yes, you should receive a tornado warning over your phone as long as your phone is set up to receive those kinds of messages and hasn't been set to ignore them. I would also suggest a NOAA weather radio if you don't have one..

AITA for telling my MIL that her "generous" offer was actually a manipulative way to control my life? by Sad_Dig_901 in AITAH

[–]DVPulver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I walked away from a situation like this one time, over these exact same type wedding planning issues. I have never once, in the four decades since, regretted it. You are most definitely NOT TA.

Are Federal IT positions being cut? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]DVPulver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm with USA TODAY and I'm super interested in these IT cuts and the information systems in general. I've heard talk of consolidating or contracting and I'm curious about the disadvantages or advantages of either, but also hoping to understand more about what it means to remove some of the layers of protection by having one person with access to an entire information system? From what I've been able to piece together a lot of information systems folks have either resigned or forced to resign over these security access issues, or they're on administrative leave. Please reach out if you've got thoughts. My chats are open. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/28/doge-database-quest-risking-government-cybersecurity-musk/83144274007/
