I get the images from the NOAA website.

@MichaelLaman video?

Definitely Typhoon Haiyan was stronger. According to Wikipedia, Typhoon Haiyan's highest winds were 230 km/h (145 mph) while Hurricane Milton's highest winds were 180 mph (285 km/h). One death is one too many, but worst of all was 6,352 deaths and 1,071 missing from Typhoon Haiyan (6,300 deaths in the Philippines!) and 35 deaths from Hurricane Milton (3 in Yucatán, Mexico and 32 in Florida, USA).

I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been there. 🙂

Thanks for asking. It's a map overlay of city lights if you will. The descriptions of my videos include: "At night, the blue colors represent liquid water clouds such as fog and stratus, while gray to white indicate higher ice clouds, and the city lights come from a static database derived from the VIIRS Day Night Band." The white and gray bands are created from data the satellite gathers when the Earth is dark underneath it. I hope this helps.

@@MichaelLaman had to be. It would have been cooler to see the map reflect the power outages but that's just my opinion. I was on the north east part of the storm and my entire county lost power. It would have added to the dramatic effect to show the reach of the damaging winds

​@@libbyliberty2885 I hope you and family are fine. I agree that seeing the wave of blackouts would be cool - certainly more informative. The GOES weather satellites are not "spy"/surveillance/reconnaissance satellites so the night time is completely black - completely. I've made a few vidoes from the Himawari satellite (e.g. Typhoon Ampil) and I had to cut out the black sections and fade clips together. Without the cities for orientation there is nothing(!) to see. Thank you for your reply. 🙂

Thank you for your generous compliment. I have a big smile now.🙂

You're being deceived.

Only a complete idiot, or brainwashed cult member, believes that crap

these are 100% man-made and it's pretty damn sad and terrifying..

Reported for misinformation. Stop spreading lies, cult member

Good question @mikeyc8139. Thanks for asking. It's a map overlay of city lights if you will. The descriptions of my videos include: "At night, the blue colors represent liquid water clouds such as fog and stratus, while gray to white indicate higher ice clouds, and the city lights come from a static database derived from the VIIRS Day Night Band."

Katrina was 19 years ago and people still aren’t over that

Yes, the description describes the data used to create the evening images rather that just complete black. The satellite's instruments gather nonvisible information all the time (for example water vapor at different band levels). The created images do well at giving us a great representation of what we'd see from satellite if there was sunlight. Note: I had to cut out a lot of black frames and merge sections together for my Typhoon Ampil video to make it watchable.

@@MichaelLamanthank you for the explanation.

Hurricane are actually just big babies.

Luckily it encountered some wind shear and settled down to a Cat 3 before landfall. It could have been much worse.

I'm glad you like it. I like a video that shows the entire life-cycle. Unfortunately for me that means I have to post later than others so thanks for the encouragement. Many more satellite tracking vidoes to come.

Totally-

I would say because weather satellites are not surveillance/military/spy satellites, so they don't need to record with such precision. I use the highest resolution images as much as possible - I too like the detail such as the daytime detail of around the eye of the hurricane. High resolution makes a big difference but it certainly takes more time and effort. Also keep in mind that the GOES satellite is in a geosynchronous orbit so it's effectively stationary over a fix point in the sky relative to us on Earth - which is not how you want a spy satellite whose orbit moves it around the world. I hope this helps. The description has more details. Thanks for your comment. 🙂

​@@MichaelLaman thx for the detailed explanation. Well deserved like and great vid!

Don’t yo me “beryl towards you” 😂

Thanks for letting me know 🙂

Thank you. I enjoyed the story 🙂

是山陀兒⋯⋯

@@LuckyBall777 是山陀兒沒錯

"May the world be safe" Yes, may it be safe 🙂

Thanks a lot. Creating this video took an extra effort to get the higher resolution. Thanks again 🙂
