Michael , I’m a forecast Meteorologist with NWS SF Bay Area and you are highly regarded in our office and with my colleagues . You don’t need to explain squat . Stay safe up there still waiting for the rain to start here
Us followers gave up mainstream mockingbird media and found better news all around. He's better regarded by us, than any big channel weatherman. He loves it. We can tell.❤
@@brandonboulton2776 10000%. Not that I have Cable TV to start, but the big box weather people simply don't have the ability to give the level of precision Michael does. Nobody in the game will 100% accurate, but I'll take 99% with Michael.
2800+ wx enthusiasts(nerds) were with you 100%, I believe in applied maths, science, your forecasting ability, and on occasion the tooth fairy. I'm conflicted- do I want to see another Bomb' Cyclone form off our Coastal waters? I'm thinking it's an inevitability with climate delta at a breaking point.
We live on our 50 foot boat, currently in La Conner Wa. We cruised to Alaska this year for 5 months and we live by weather forecasts. This channel is by far the best, most accurate, and is easy to follow. Thank you Michael.
It's been a hype for me so far... I'm over on the Nor Cal Coast just a couple miles inland and it's pretty much just been another weak *** storm so far haha I keep waiting for it to get worse... I think localish media might have hyped it up a bit.. norcal seems to be kinda just getting the tail of it.
Don't let people talk you down! I was trying to explain the topography and easterly winds to other weather forecasters and because they don't know the area, they just weren't getting it. And they were trying to say it would stay on the coast...I was like "NOOOO!!", lol. Thank you so much for your knowledge and time! I was on the Live. Thanks again!
I found you because I wanted snow and stumbled on you talking about some crazy ice storm. You helped me understand the models and talked us all thru the possibilities for a week before it happened (just like you worried it would). You’ve been my weather guy ever since. Heat domes, snow storms, mountain & fantasy forecasts. You do it all without unnecessary hype. Thank you for keeping me prepared but not over stressed. And for the Record… You were right about this one too!
Hey Michael no over hyping this storm you did a great job! I'm sure there's a fine line between over hyping and getting folks to take notice. Also really enjoyed the stream last night! Many thanks for the heads up!
Hey i work in construction down in pdx. Appreciate you and your hard work. We love knowing whata coming our way so we can prepare our jobsites to be as safe as possible. Keep up the good work!
I strictly watch your channel to get my weather updates I don't watch any of the TV channels they always get it wrong Michael has always been out in front of it very informational and always accurate.
I don't even watch local news anymore, I check your channel for accurate storm or weather info. You're highly respected by many in the PNW and beyond. Please keep it up!
Thank you Michael! I live in Orting and thankfully we weren't affected by the wind and power outages, but you can bet that, thanks to your warnings, we were fully prepared for it. I always say, it's better to prepare and not need it, than need it and not be prepared. I was in Enumclaw for a while yesterday and you were right on the money! 🍃💨🍃😮
Hey Michael, I've been following you for a long time. It's the only place I go to for my weather here in the PNW of WA. Always checking for when I'm going to the forest Mushroom Hunting. I share with the Mrs and my family and friends and you are the only main source of weather we follow. Always accurate and the very best info for weather out there. We got hammered out near Granite Falls. Tree damage everywhere, roof damge and outside structure damage, no power as of 7 pm last night and still out, but we were prepared mainly because we live in a place that warrants being ready, but also because we watch you and go by the info you research and provide. We will always be fans and followers. Thanks Michael appreciate you very much. Stay safe👊🍄💚
You are my main weather source and I've also learned a great deal from watching your videos. It's great to see someone who obviously loves what they do. We got slammed on the south end of Camano Island. Thanks for being here.
Thank you for the heads up… yes, the “news” didn’t cover this until the day before…. We did get a huge storm in our area but was able to prepare cause of you (Lake Stevens, Wa). Thanks again and this is why I watch you almost daily!!!
This channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for! So tired of all of the extra nonsense that comes with corporate news and weather. I live in on the Kitsap peninsula. You are very much appreciated.
Grateful to Clallam PUD for getting our power restored last night in Sequim. THANK YOU for all the great videos and info - this channel is so helpful. 💕💗💯
What the Hell Michael, your stream ended last night without a word if you guys were safe. Glad you had fun out in the storm and that you're safe. Thanks for the hours of live coverage
Don't let the trolls get under your skin, you are very much appreciated for your expertise and the time you take to run this channel and keep us informed!
You were so right. Somehow this channel just popped up on my feed about a week ago and you are so much better than any weather channel. A woman died last night...
You called this so far in advance, man. You were noting its record-breaking pressure drop many days ago. It helped me plan a serious construction project and get it done on time. Keep up the great work, man!
I’d much rather watch you than the National Weather Service since you are specializing in the area in which I live. Keep up the good work! And thanks for your dedication.
I've watched a lot of weather reports in my time and from the Pacific Northwest, been through the Columbus Day Storm in Portland and for me your weather reports are the best I have seen.
We are next to a hill (to the east) in a valley so wind from the east barely touches us. Not even a power outage last night however, tons of people without on the hill that protected us. I always prep for weather after watching Michael. He knows our topography and the marine influence on the weather. Totally dig the live streams!
When you first started taking about this system, I told my mom a storm was coming and she didn't believe me. "Where did you hear that? I haven't seen anything, he doesn't know what he's talking about." Then last night I had your stream playing and as she walked past she asked who I was watching. "Oh, just the guy you said didn't know what he was talking about." She asked for the link to the stream. Pretty sure I converted her. 😂
Even the MSM was warning about the incoming storm yesterday morning and for a couple of days prior. Both the NWS and the MSM nailed this one dead on. No hyping as so many claim!
I've encountered a lot of people that downplayed the potential severity of the storm- "It won't be a big deal" they said. Well, it was certainly a big deal for some...and it might only get worse for others. The lack of empathy and awareness from some people make me sick.
Even without the internet I can predict a "storm is a brewin!" I get vestibular migraines and I always start feeling like **** a day or two before. I don''t know if it's pressure chages or what. Anyway thats irrelevant haha just my 2 cent thoughts in a hat. You comment made me laugh and is such a large contrast to my own mother haha my mom is a regular meteorologist, she's basically my own personal weather channel lols
Michael sadly UA-cam is full of haters. I rely on your forecast. I was watching your live last night. I don't live in Washington State (used to) but live in the Willamette Valley area. I appreciate your updates. Just ignore the trolls and keep doing what you do. Love your channel.
Hi Michael, I’m so glad that I found your channel, as I work outside as a Carpenter and the weather has a large impact on me and my ability to work and earn a living. Your experience and knowledge of the weather and especially the storms coming our way is very valuable information to have. I live 6 miles south of Philomath on the shoulder of the coast range, just 3 miles as the crow flies from Marys Peak , at just over 4,000 feet elevation, the highest point in the coast range, which has a substantial effect on the weather I experience. Often it’s quite different than what’s happening in Philomath or Corvallis so hearing and seeing the information you present in extremely valuable to me. Keep up the great work and congratulations on nearing the 100,000 sub- scribers mark ! I will continue to be one of them and tell people about your channel often. Sincerely, Chris Mildwater
Great update Michael! Those mountain waves here north of Arlington were so amazing around 11 last night, can't believe how the trees can take those gusts
Michael you're my go to for real weather forecasting. I trust your knowledge & your accuracy supercedes any weather I get elsewhere. I'm a subcriber & will stay so!! ❤👍👍🌟
Love your forecast, never click bait, never hyped, just what you observe. Highly recommended over any news station who do nothing but parrot NWS forecasts trying to claim it's there own creation. With you, it's pull assets together that most of us dont have or would understand and present in a clear fashion. Happy Spokane subscriber despite being outside your area of focus (Puget sound to Portland).
Michael, there will always be those who find fault with anything and everything except when they look in a mirror. You do a great job and are far more spot on than so many other sites. Keep up the good work and we here in eastern Washington appreciate your information greatly!! Thank you!!
I was surprised to learn that many work colleagues were not aware of this storm coming. I posted a picture of the storm on an all staff teams meeting telling everyone to be prepared. Following the weather geek guys can pay off. Thanks Michael!
You have had credibility as far as I'm concerned since the snow storm Jan 6 2022. Everyone else said 5-7" you were the ONLY one who said upwards of 22" and we totalled 21"! Spot on! I trust your forecasting more than the guys on the news who rarely zoom out enough to see central washington
Dont worry what others think. You were dead on and even knew where to be at during the live stream. Alot of people under estimated the storm and you were ahead of reporting by days compared to the news outlets. Nice work!
It was incredible how localized the wind was. Practically no wind in Bellingham east of interstate 5. Though Sudden Valley and highway 9 got slamed. Definitely was a bad idea to be driving out there, got hit by some sizeable branches and had to drive over trees, had to turn around as highway 9 was blocked in two places north and south of Wikersham. Woo, what a night!
@@eltopia11 I know what you mean! Our road was fine with only a few small downed branches, but I could hear popping power lines only a few hundred yards away. They were very channelized gusts.
Can confirm. The strongest gust we in Lynden was 30, according to my weather station. Most of the time the wind was ~18-24 mph range. I was hoping for more of a storm, but it went as predicted here.
My best friend lives in crescent city ca, and they got slammed last night- 100ft redwood down, branches everywhere, power out…said it was roaring like a jet engine all night. Thank you for your info!!
Thank you for your excellent reporting, models, numbers and satellite images. It helped us prepare for this one. So grateful for your information, love your channel. Meteorologists rule!
I got lots of comments on my Facebook about the storm being overhyped. You and I both know that is not the case. It just didn’t materialize down here around Newport as it did up there around Enumclaw and the surrounding areas. But we got the lowest millibar values ever on record as you pointed out last night, Michael. That ain’t no hype. Great coverage from the car!
Thank you Michael. We took this storm very seriously. I have been watching your stream for about 2 weeks now. You are now my "go to" for PNW weather. Also just wanted to say a BIG heartfelt THANK YOU to Linemen/women everywhere. Stay safe everyone. Heed the warning too please.
So weird on south Whidbey, the wind was so loud, howling, and felt like it surrounded my house, but never really hit my house, just all around me. Had some good gusts, but not our normal direction, right on the water, going north. It was strange. Hope this makes sense. The ferries were struggling on the water. Thanks for the update! Appreciate all you do!
Checking in from Nanaimo, BC. It’s dark and windy, and we lost power just after we finished dinner last night. I love a good excuse to not have to do the dishes! 😹 Thanks for the heads up. We’re well prepared over here because of you.
It was a good thing we were prepared for a power outage here in the Grande Ronde Valley. With plenty of firewood and lamp oil we fared quite well. Hello from Summerville Oregon in the heart of the Blue Mountains. The winds are blowing, the temperature is up, and the valley snow is melting causing some minor flooding, but the power just came back on and we didnt lose any more trees. We still have a few hours of high winds forecast but as stated, "the worst is over." Thanks Michael.
Reporting from the farthest Northwest tip of Washington State, just heavy rain and we're used to that no high winds no big storm😅 we never lost power and we're in the rainforest next to the coast
Thanks for the detailed coverage, Mike. The predictions showed that western Pierce County would have minimal winds and that's exactly what happened. A few outages but mostly we were in a quiet donut hole.
Hey Amigo, thanks for all you do. We got hammered here in Jordan River. Big outages all over Southern BC, trees down everywhere, highways closed. Sit tight and take good care.
Early morning on the Long Beach Peninsula and I am just a short distance from the Pacific Ocean and we have power. I heard a lot of wind blowing stuff around in the middle of the night which was scary. The cyclones that hit in 2007 knocked out power here for almost a week. Thank you for your reporting and live storm coverage.
Your forecasts are great! Really enjoyed the live stream last night. Very interesting chat room updates from all over Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. Loved the cows :)
You do a good job. Puget sound weather is probably the most difficult thing to predict and deal with in the entire northern hemisphere. Not just the United States. So considering that you do a great job. Thank you for your work and everything you do
New to your channel, but a Long time atmospheric observer that goes back to the Radio Faxchart days. Mike, you are providing an Excellent Service to the public. Kudos to you!
I've been following you for awhile. You are spot on for your forecasts... I also appreciate your range in your forecasts. We are traveling in our RV, so from NW Montana to Southern Oregon Coast
Crazy lightning and thunder absolutely shaking the house from 5:30-6:30 am 1 mile from the coast in Nehalem OR......dogs under the bed!!! Tempest is really good at lightning!
Last night was crazy. I mentioned yesterday I live off grid in wall tents. Don't confuse me with "homeless". We survived. I hear a lot of generators going. NOT us. We only use gens to run ACs or charge batteries. Lots of trees topped and a few big ones fell. The one thing that was interesting during the hours from 6-10pm was the sky flickering emerald green. Not seen lightn ing like that before.
@snippee1438 Many theories were passing in convo last night. along with the lighting up sky, we also could hear engine sounds just right before the gusts would come in. I live extremely rural and have lived on this property for 5 years. I know every neighbors car and habit. This engine sounds was LOUD. And the last is the military plane flying high altitude ALWAYS when there is cloudy cover. ALWAYS. and last night they were busy,!.
@snippee1438 I was going to record but people would just naysay or make up some silly reasoning to what we were witnessing. Mind you I SAT in the weather last night. Outside for 6 hours. It was the safest. So I saw things and heard things people would never have.
I'm a mobile mechanic, and I was informed not to come into work due to the power outages and blocked roadways. So luckily, I didn't have to drive all around King County today
Where I am in Vancouver, we got a period of wind, rain and lightning/thunder, not lasting more than an hour - oddly the wind died down, and through the night didn't change. But, I'm not sure yet of other parts of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The Island took the brunt of the storm - my best to them who are without power. And to you down south of here who have had power outages and wreckage. Be safe...
I saw drones the size of a car flying around Maltby and the Snoqualmie valley. I assume they were assessing the outages. That said I see the same drones surveying the Snoqualmie valley around Duvall often .
Fortunately we dodged a bullet here in Ocean Shores and didn’t get damaging winds although we were prepared for worse. We woke up to lightning and thunder around 4am and at 8am it is still going on with some house rattling thunder. Quite different from our usual one and done Pacific Northwest thunderstorm.

❤❤❤
This is the BEST WEATHER CHANNEL . Thank you Michael .
Not sure about others, but we have found you to be the best source of reliable PNW weather information. Keep it up -
Although the wind didn't cause any damage to my house I was well prepared for the storm thanks to your early warnings. Thank you ❤
It wasn’t a hype. Huge damage on my property. Thank you for the heads up. We had plenty of time to prepare because of you.
It's been a hype for me so far... I'm over on the Nor Cal Coast just a couple miles inland and it's pretty much just been another weak *** storm so far haha
I keep waiting for it to get worse... I think localish media might have hyped it up a bit.. norcal seems to be kinda just getting the tail of it.

Well said! Happy to second your sentiment - Michael is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
I found you because I wanted snow and stumbled on you talking about some crazy ice storm. You helped me understand the models and talked us all thru the possibilities for a week before it happened (just like you worried it would). You’ve been my weather guy ever since. Heat domes, snow storms, mountain & fantasy forecasts. You do it all without unnecessary hype. Thank you for keeping me prepared but not over stressed.
And for the Record…
You were right about this one too!
Awesome !!!
Hey Michael no over hyping this storm you did a great job! I'm sure there's a fine line between over hyping and getting folks to take notice. Also really enjoyed the stream last night! Many thanks for the heads up!
I think trying to read that chat thread gave me ADD!
So thankful for your channel! Best weather in the PNW.

So weird on south Whidbey, the wind was so loud, howling, and felt like it surrounded my house, but never really hit my house, just all around me. Had some good gusts, but not our normal direction, right on the water, going north. It was strange. Hope this makes sense. The ferries were struggling on the water. Thanks for the update! Appreciate all you do!
Checking in from Nanaimo, BC. It’s dark and windy, and we lost power just after we finished dinner last night. I love a good excuse to not have to do the dishes! 😹
Thanks for the heads up. We’re well prepared over here because of you.
It was a good thing we were prepared for a power outage here in the Grande Ronde Valley. With plenty of firewood and lamp oil we fared quite well. Hello from Summerville Oregon in the heart of the Blue Mountains. The winds are blowing, the temperature is up, and the valley snow is melting causing some minor flooding, but the power just came back on and we didnt lose any more trees. We still have a few hours of high winds forecast but as stated, "the worst is over." Thanks Michael.
Reporting from the farthest Northwest tip of Washington State, just heavy rain and we're used to that no high winds no big storm😅 we never lost power and we're in the rainforest next to the coast
Thanks for the detailed coverage, Mike. The predictions showed that western Pierce County would have minimal winds and that's exactly what happened. A few outages but mostly we were in a quiet donut hole.
Same for the Willamette Valley. The hills got slammed but the valley was benign.
Hey Amigo, thanks for all you do.
We got hammered here in Jordan River. Big outages all over Southern BC, trees down everywhere, highways closed.
Sit tight and take good care.
Great live stream last night, your coverage is amazing, thank you.
Bro you’re out here saving lives.. thanks
Early morning on the Long Beach Peninsula and I am just a short distance from the Pacific Ocean and we have power. I heard a lot of wind blowing stuff around in the middle of the night which was scary. The cyclones that hit in 2007 knocked out power here for almost a week. Thank you for your reporting and live storm coverage.
Your forecasts are great! Really enjoyed the live stream last night. Very interesting chat room updates from all over Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. Loved the cows :)
Awesome work once again. Thank you for the insight and enthusiasm for good science.
You do a good job. Puget sound weather is probably the most difficult thing to predict and deal with in the entire northern hemisphere. Not just the United States. So considering that you do a great job. Thank you for your work and everything you do
New to your channel, but a Long time atmospheric observer that goes back to the Radio Faxchart days. Mike, you are providing an Excellent Service to the public. Kudos to you!
I've been following you for awhile. You are spot on for your forecasts... I also appreciate your range in your forecasts. We are traveling in our RV, so from NW Montana to Southern Oregon Coast
Wild night didn’t think we were going to get hit! Boy was I wrong😅grateful for getting my power back! Thanks Michael!
Crazy lightning and thunder absolutely shaking the house from 5:30-6:30 am 1 mile from the coast in Nehalem OR......dogs under the bed!!! Tempest is really good at lightning!
Michael, you do such a good job forecasting! Our family checks your forecasts over anyone else! Thank you!❤😊
Been with you since early days. You channel is awesome!!!
What a wild night!!
You are the Best forecaster.. PERIOD.. THANK YOU 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Last night was crazy. I mentioned yesterday I live off grid in wall tents. Don't confuse me with "homeless". We survived. I hear a lot of generators going. NOT us. We only use gens to run ACs or charge batteries. Lots of trees topped and a few big ones fell. The one thing that was interesting during the hours from 6-10pm was the sky flickering emerald green. Not seen lightn ing like that before.
HAARP?
@snippee1438 Many theories were passing in convo last night. along with the lighting up sky, we also could hear engine sounds just right before the gusts would come in. I live extremely rural and have lived on this property for 5 years. I know every neighbors car and habit. This engine sounds was LOUD. And the last is the military plane flying high altitude ALWAYS when there is cloudy cover. ALWAYS. and last night they were busy,!.
@snippee1438 I was going to record but people would just naysay or make up some silly reasoning to what we were witnessing. Mind you I SAT in the weather last night. Outside for 6 hours. It was the safest. So I saw things and heard things people would never have.
My husband saw similar at work over in Bellevue. Then when I was recording the storm at home I saw pinkish red flashes towards the west. It was odd.
I didn't hear the engine sound but I do on occasion hear those HUGE jets fly over and it never shows up on my flight app.
shockingly our spot survived well with those strong Easterly winds. Quite the storm, never lost our power , but everyone around us did.
I'm a mobile mechanic, and I was informed not to come into work due to the power outages and blocked roadways. So luckily, I didn't have to drive all around King County today
Wind still howling thru the valley east of Kelso. Cowlitz PUD is great...power only out for about 2 hours last night.
thankyou for your live coverage last night, cows were alright!
Thank you again for your coverage.
Where I am in Vancouver, we got a period of wind, rain and lightning/thunder, not lasting more than an hour - oddly the wind died down, and through the night didn't change. But, I'm not sure yet of other parts of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The Island took the brunt of the storm - my best to them who are without power. And to you down south of here who have had power outages and wreckage. Be safe...
Last night in Battle Ground there were pockets of power outages but did not appear widespread.
Thanks so much ❤ God bless
In Oregon valley, lots of rain but mild wind. Happy for the snow. Ty for you info.
My apologies bud you were right,we got hit hard in Marysville last night lost power stuff flying everywhere 👍
So glad we found you! Thanks so much. We have about two feet of snow here in Mt. Shasta. Wind wasn't too bad.
Excellent summary! Thanks for all you do for us, Michael.
I saw drones the size of a car flying around Maltby and the Snoqualmie valley. I assume they were assessing the outages. That said I see the same drones surveying the Snoqualmie valley around Duvall often .
😮
Our power co. has them, and uses mainly to assess damage as well.
Fortunately we dodged a bullet here in Ocean Shores and didn’t get damaging winds although we were prepared for worse. We woke up to lightning and thunder around 4am and at 8am it is still going on with some house rattling thunder. Quite different from our usual one and done Pacific Northwest thunderstorm.
