I came here to say this. Dude is brilliant! Very good communicator.

[@SigFigNewton]

I think maybe they’re getting better in general at communicating this stuff. Like.. in addition to having training in meteorology and in understanding the model outputs, they’re now getting better instruction on how to communicate issues such uncertainty in a storm’s path.

[@robertbluestein7800]

I grew up in Houston watching Sid Lasher (hard to imagine!) I watched Neil Frank and others who have taken the time to teach what is happening and how it happens. You are EXCELLENT at explaining complex things. I can imagine some kid watching your video and being inspired to study the earth sciences. This is the first time I have actually watched you (I live in Austin) but just wanted to encourage you to stay the course. Reporting on fatalities and damage these storms can bring can often get inside your head. I am good friends with a retired Armed Forces Radio meteorologist and he told me (almost every time we got together) that a typhoon that hit Bangladesh was one he reported on in the late 60s. He described it as if it happened yesterday, and admitted that he wished he could 'unsee some things."

Damn. We can’t catch a break. Neither can Florida 😭

[@kellibarnhouse6160]

Last night the temperatures were down to -90C and more and more of the cloud top was moving up to those heights and temperatures. Now the entire head of the storm is in really super cold air.
