I was so scared during hurricane Ian. I honestly thought my mobile home was going to fall apart and trap me. Right now I am in a rehab. I think I will ask my doctor today if I can stay at least until the storm passes. I think I am safer here than in a mobile home.

It's nice to see your professional update here. First time I have seen you do this Reed. You should do more of these. We need to hear your expertise more. You give feedback that other meteorologists ignore. I appreciate your input. Usually you are on the ground and in the midst of things. This is a nice change of pace for you. Now that we are Entering in Libra season, hurricane season is becoming super charged. October 2024 is going to be one hell of a month for the cosmos. Mark my words. 3 epic events are about to occur. They are going to affect our weather and planets in our solar system.

[@michaelhancock937]

We don’t need this in the south east as we are just starting to gather cotton and peanuts. My god this year has already been bad enough for us.

[@lifepro77777]

Right on schedule with that forecast buddy, but you already knew that. The tricky part now is to coordinate with your time and target precisely the area range landfall will occur. The saddest irony is another direct Mexico Beach confrontation but still predicting it being steered more easterly once entering the loop current Gulf. Footage and experience should be scientifically worthy.

[@JimWalkerMusic]

Long time no see Reed! I live 90mi North of Panama City Beach now. Maybe I'll see ya???

Reed, you're one of the best for years in field meteorology and respect what you've done throughout the years. I promise that will be a MAJOR CAT 4 veered along the Florida Gulf Coast from a westerly front once it enters the Gulf in general.

[@evapayton29]

🙏🙏🙏

[@FreedomTooBe]

Any chance that this same type of interaction is what kept the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 from hitting Florida and instead directed it to Galveston? Though Roker's posit that it was the high pressure over FL that did it makes sense to me.

Please lighten your Opacity on the map. We cant really see the land borders. It makes it hard to follow you.

[@yellowbird5411]

The different models are all over the map in terms of intensity. I was watching other channels who predicted everything from a tropical storm to a Cat. 1, 2 or possibly a 3. Because it hasn't even formed yet, they can only go by the models that have it all over the place. They are saying that they have to wait until it is in the Gulf before they can make more accurate predictions.
