Rare "high risk" warning issued: Central U.S. braces for "significant" tornado outbreak.
USA Today reports: "A high risk is the highest-tier hazardous weather forecast that the Storm Prediction Center issues. ... The forecast comes a week after a tornado outbreak killed four people in Oklahoma."
Weather forecasters issued dire warnings Monday for a significant tornado outbreak that's expected in the central U.S. on Monday that could impact millions of people from Texas to the Dakotas!
Something that I've had heightened awareness of since moving to Northwest Arkansas is that where we live is in the bullseye for seeing the highest frequency of derechos in the country (now more so even than our first house in NWA).
A derecho is a straight-line wind event that spans a length of at least 400 miles (643 km), is 60 miles wide (97 km), and has winds exceeding 58 mph (93 kph) over most of its length.
So I bought a bunch of stuff to build an #epaper#weather display based off an #esp32 board, sort of mixing and matching stuff up from a few project I had found.
I had assumed that the hardware would be supported by #esphome, but the amount of stuff that especially me actually supports is... Disappointingly low.
So, besides learning how esphome works, I now get to figure out how to add a 3rd party library in there and how to write a panel description so it can drive it.
