That gray circle is saving them

[@leonzbikowski3559]

I love this virtual background

[@rjpatel8173]

Same

[@christianwolf68]

i guess with the new FEMA flood maps, all of Florida is now a flood zone

[@michaelueberroth9553]

Not where I live, so far.

[@drewski1535]

How much are those gray circles of protection?

[@Easton555]

Don’t worry about if they’re in danger in that hurricane because they are in the gray circle.

[@VEM-ester]

Don't worry, the gray circle is saving them 😮

[@danielelise7348]

@@VEM-ester Oh thank God!! 😆

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Thank you Weather Channel But it’s important to note hurricanes can hit anywhere from Texas to Florida to Maine. Here in the Northeast we rarely get hurricanes, but when we do like 1938 or Sandy, they can be devastating. We need to all watch the forecast this year as every year we do :D

Those SFX are pretty neat, is it a green screen?

[@damienalicea8696]

Aye. A enormous green screen with Technodolly Crane Camera.

[@sincerelyriri]

good work! i looooveee these imrs as i've been hyperfixated on weather these past few weeks. (buttttt i always have been! :) )

While hurricanes are common in Florida, lightning is much more common. Hurricanes don't happen on the near daily basis in the summer, but lightning does. I don't agree that climate change is making them worse. Florida has had a long history of hurricanes. It's also important to remember that the deadliest hurricane didn't make landfall in Florida, but it Texas. Rapid Intensification occurred with Andrew, Charley, Michael and Ian. It also occurred with Opal in 1995, but Opal weakened just before making landfall, whereas those other 4 struck with full strength. But, I hope Florida won't be hit this year. SW Florida is very special to me and I am still angry and heartbroken at the devastation Ian caused. There was a 4 year gap in between Michael and Ian, Michael, the previous storm of similar strength to affect the state. Hopefully the steering currents will be set up to move them away from the state, or strong shear will offset the warm water temps.

gray circle is the new meta

I love Florida but not their thunderstorms

[@anti-naturevegan]

I love their weather but not their weather

[@ILoveOldTWC]

That's the best part of Florida's weather!

[@hiramrodriguez4722]

My place is Texas

[@InsanePandaWanderer]

Damn man these guys can start their own religion, Moses separated the seas but this circle they've made, protects them from everything

[@DJHLX3]

That's why we need more engineers and less gamers and streamers. eSports ain't a sport.

[@jperez9528]

Ya'll do realize all that's needed to prevent something like the Wildfires in an area like Hawaii is to build a spray jet system that shoots the water at an angled altitude directly from the sea over the land. Either that or straight up make an irrigation canopy that essentially open domes the island of Hawaii where there's cause for concern then soaks it from above. The impact of the saline content on plant life might be worthy of concern but there's a remedy for that I'm sure...

[@Bruhman_]

Early!

[@teufelhunden3606]

Oh " The Weather Channel " the place you go for your forecast...only if you live on the east coast of the US . Otherwise you'll never get the forecast!!

[@hiramrodriguez4722]

Am first

[@kkplum3575]

I don't believe anything these clowns have to say, for instance, right now they are saying it's sunny and clear where I live Wrong! It's very cloudy and has been all night. They can't even give an accurate forecast same day, let alone any time in the future

[@Camvo147]

you probably live in Florida but near inside America, that’s why.

[@DillDough-dn4eb]

Those sunny at night time predictions tend to be off.....

[@margaretbattista2298]

I love it when they say 80 percent chance of rain when it's sunny and stayed sunny. Lies lies lies

[@justrelaxand69]

I love how these talking heads can't accurately predict weather less than 24 hours in the future but have no problem telling us what to expect 2 months from now or 50 years from now.
