Tracking Hurricane Ian: Less than 24 hours until landfall

[@phuckgmail7280]

I like this meteorologist. He has the demeanor of a good teacher or professor. Makes complicated stuff easy to understand.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

He also doesn't have rude, disrespectful loud kids interrupting him every 5 seconds. 😵🤔🤣Very easy to teach when kids sit down, shut up and take notes.

[@erinmac4750]

Absolutely agree!

[@liznel1]

Very entertaining and educational! The irony is that I live in Florida and I'm watching this channel and getting a better understanding than I have from the local news. THANK YOU!

[@SashasRevenge]

I know right! The best update I’ve seen so far with real informative reporting. ☝️

[@schechter01]

It also means you're smart enough to seek out the best info regardless of where it comes from. Props. 👍🏻 ...we should all do that. I only discovered KHOU yesterday afternoon.

[@bruceradz]

That happens sometimes, as strange as that may seem. And not just with the weather, other important things as well. Take care 💗

[@lisabrewer3472]

This gentleman has a great communication style. Insightful and clear, grateful for how well he conveys this information. Thank you for such a thorough report.

[@bkearnaghan]

We do all this warning to lower the chance of death from hurricanes, yet we have a President that is letting all this Fentynal into our country which is killing people off as much as Anthrax does. They call them Overdoses, but they are really poisinings and we're up to 90,000 deaths this year. The good news is that Biden has let in 5 million welfare-seeking people that can't speak English from 140 countries to replace the young Americans that are dying from a single candy-like pill. I am dependent on legally prescribed hydrocodone and my fear is that I will break the rules one of these days and be cut off cold turkey. When that happens, I might just buy something on the street for pain relief. It already killed one of my best friends.

[@healingvale]

I agree!!!

[@duniajolly]

You’re absolutely right.

[@megfeeley2559]

I thoroughly agree! Enjoying the detail and care with which he presents the info.

[@bobbysimons2635]

I have to comment to this. I wholesomely agree he is very informative and has great presentation and teaching skills. I discovered him last night following the hurricane and has to be a top favorite news anchor now. It makes me happy seeing so many other people think the same as I do. We need more of this in the world I feel

[@rashidaw8864]

This is the best explanation I've seen in my entire life. I really appreciate the way the meteorologist is helping us to understand with precision and clarity. Thank you! Great job!

Great job of explaining how the surges happen and how the water could be pulled out of Tampa Bay instead of pushed in. This year is my first year in Florida and it's helpful to have someone break it down and explain why something does what it does. This is my favorite forecast so far!

[@patriciamoore8758]

Sir you just gave the best explanation of what is probably going to occur that I have heard. the graphics showing the wind directions and the steering currents. Great job.

[@billtyack2564]

David Paul as a native Floridian I must say you did a wonderful job explaining the ongoing of Hurricane Ian I thank you sir I hope KHOU 11 can see what a valuable asset you truly are Good day sir

[@loiswells3062]

Excellent presentation! I've been binge watching Ian News for 2 days, & this is the first time I've heard about the shallow waters on the west coast of Florida as the reason why we are so prone to surge.

[@KB-ke3fi]

The shallowest waters in the entire Gulf of Mexico are in Texas.

[@brianfitch5469]

Pretty much the whole gulf coast has shallow waters. It'll be ok for most people there will be a 30-40 mile stretch where it makes landfall where old buildings will be damaged or destroyed. Lots of old power poles and trees will demolish the power lines. Since there havnt been a strong Storm in so long lots of old large tree limbs to clobber the lines. Shingles and a few roofs might fly off. In areas that get hit alot. The building codes require structures to be able to handle 150+mph winds now. I believe that's all of Floridas building code since the 1980s for structure integrity. It's the old buildings that arnt well built/maintained that may have some issues.

[@SashasRevenge]

I agree, not only that, he isn’t just repeating the same thing over and over with no real information that helps. It’s the BEST REPORT OUT THE RIGHT NOW for the storm watchers who want scientific data over drama and hype.

[@marcosmith2501]

No mention whether oil rigs out on the continental shelf are at risk.

[@smartmarketing173]

I grew up in Miami, so have seen my share of hurricane coverage; I must say, this is some of the best. It’s informative without being overly dramatic and alarming. Practical, actionable advice to inform my storm plans. Thank you. Well done.

[@russs7574]

I have two cousins that live in the Tampa Area. They both got out. One live near a stream (something like 5 doors away at the end of her street) that empties into the Bay, as is prone to backing up and flooding anytime there's a storm surge. The other lives on a street that borders the Intracostal Waterway...the people across the street from her house all have boat docks in their back yards, and can launch right into the Intracostal. They're with their brother (my other Florida cousin) up near Orlando. His house is a fairly new custom construction that's been built to resist a Cat. 4 storm, and has a stand-alone emergency generator. They are absolutely loaded, and the house is like an absolute fortress. Being from Pittsburgh, we don't have much experience with hurricanes. We did, however have on brush by (but not come on shore) the eastern coast of Florida one year while we were at Disney. Orlando did not catch the brunt of the storm, but we did get enough to know I'd rather not have to deal with a direct hit. Stay safe, stay strong, Florida.

[@FromG2eminor]

My aunt lives outside of Pittsburgh (near Butler) but is down in Orlando for vacation right now. She waited too long to leave but she isn't worried. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@tracyparenteintervention]

I know that's right. they smart because we from there in Saint Pete and it can get wild with the storms... praying for the people💕💕💕

[@Chainyanker007]

I think that whole Tampa area up and down the coast is under mandatory evacuation orders according to a map on the news this evening. Glad I live on the west coast with no hurricane threat, looks like a real pain to have to evacuate with 2.5 million others and not knowing if you’ll still have a house when you return. Good luck folks.

[@johncostello7502]

My dad and I may to take a trip to repair(portable generator to sump pump excess water in house) any flooding damage to their house. Sucks to be happy that you’re on the top side of the hurricane so to avoid the storm surge plus potential river flooding in coastal area.

I'm praying for my friends that live on the Gulf Coast hopefully they'll make the right decisions a cat "4" is no joke it will rip your roof right off the top of your house..And by being close to the water The Surge is the worst thing that could happen water just keeps coming..Stay safe Florida..🙏🇺🇸🙏

This was extremely informative how the gulf goes 10k feet deep vs Atlantic Ocean which is less but the shoreline is shallow on the west of Florida which makes it prone to storm surge. Where as on the east of Florida the shoreline drops a 1000 feet so the storm surge doesn't extend as far in. I feel earth scientifically smart now.
