Gotta love it. The preseason hype...the preseason doom..above average season! Be on alert! It's going to get crazy! Hmmm...La Nina will be strong..tons of storms in the Atlantic! Florida always hears these reports but take it as it comes.

[@t.d.harris1311]

Except for the insurance companies, they are raising home owners policies like crazy in Florida. Price we pay to live in a state that every foot of real estate is subject to hurricanes. Your right all this hype makes the companies nervous, gotta love it or leave.

[@risingoneagleswings1776]

@@t.d.harris1311 I totally agree. I'm in Florida and insurance is out of control

[@jamesbishop9156]

Thanks for this valuable information. 👍😁✌️

[@stacyfabiszewski4633]

Thank you so much for the very important information. I just 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 my fingers that the hurricane season is calmer than predicted

[@karronlaneNOLA]

that would be great!!

[@johncoviello8570]

Great and informative discussion. Thanks for the information.

[@peterdelaire9654]

Must you use the words“eerily quiet”?Just so we can maintain a certain level of fear?

[@Indomitablespirit108]

Becca rocks!

[@prdamico]

ALL THAT FEAR MONGERING EARLIER ABOUT HURRICANE SEASON........and NOTHING !!!!

[@G.Dandres]

Tell that to the people in Sarasota...they lost their Homes in No Flood zones.

[@crazymanyt5126]

Peak season has not even happened yet. 80% of tropical activity to come.

[@SpookyRedz]

Please Hurricanes do not come into the GULF !

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

Very simple here's the scenario calm now mean's dangerous storm to come

[@KeithLeeman]

Great discussion. Thank you

[@JimwombatLand]

ALL THE WEATHER IS IN THE PACIFIC

[@ChrisFigura]

Great video!! Just subscribed! I really don’t think it’s going to be an extremely active season that they originally predicted. I think it will end up being average or slight above average 15-18 total storms.

[@SpookyRedz]

We need a way for the Hurricane Hunters to drop something into the Hurricane while it’s out in the sea to dissipate the storm , wish there was a way !

[@MusicMan-pg8hs]

No way. Hurricanes act as air conditioning for the earth. Disrupting hurricanes would be detrimental for earth

[@SpookyRedz]

@@MusicMan-pg8hs where do you live , what state ? Cause in my mind there is nothing good about a Hurricane , it’s pure devastation

[@brandonbrady3Brady-u8d]

Hadley cells are drying. Long track storms are not the same as in the past. Also September looking like unfavorable phases of MJO 4,5,6. Also negative phases of AO and NAO as well as positive PNA lends to TROUGHINESS IN THE EAST. Increased wind shear will result in lower amount of storms

[@3ngi_n33r]

Cloudseeders on lunch?

[@sweettina2]

Maybe the PTB are deciding where to strike next.

[@goku7196]

Is it not live anymore

[@sergeisergei4700]

Because of God's grace towards the small islands. Thats why.

[@MusicMan-pg8hs]

Just goes to show that nobody really knows what will happen. La Nina is not as strong as it was wxpected to be. It takes more than warm water to support a storm. Dont buy all the hype but stay prepared

[@G.Dandres]

Sarasota people that lost their home dont belive it was quiet or fish storm.

[@midlife_minimalist]

They were talking about Ernesto, not Debby

[@tuddysyung1711]

Why area the Storm poping because the Storm have a mime of their on to much hyper

[@janetclark8606]

PRONOUNCED CAPE VERDAY, NOT CAPE VERD.

[@16MedicRN]

To be clear, it's Portuguese. Locally, it's called cah-pay vair-day. In English/British it's cape vurd.
