Shout-out to the lawn guy ruining the audio at the end, but I'm too lazy to re-shoot 😅

[@netta358able]

We still appreciate everything you do🙏 always watching from Ormond Beach FL.

[@susanmcewan302]

Absolutely appreciate you uploading no matter any distraction! Ty!

[@adam56usa]

Thank you!

[@deepquake9]

😂😂 you are good!

[@seeharvester]

No problem here.
I feel like I'm getting a free college course in Meteorology with every one of your videos.
Todays lesson: Determining storm shear direction through triangular vectors.
Or something like that. Guess I should have stayed in University. :)

Living on the Space Coast in Florida, never really got hyped up over hurricane season until the terrible 2004 season.... then every year was suddenly just an awful anxiety filled 6 months during the season. So glad I just randomly stumbled on your site a few years ago. I really appreciate how you don't sensationalize anything for views. You just give us the facts in a calm and informative manner, and it really helps. So just, thank you for that! The season is so much more manageable with your input, as well as the information you provide on your site.

[@barbaraemanuel1379]

Im on the west coast (60+ years) north of clearwater. I agree never saw such crazy storms and glad to have this info

[@AUJanna]

You seriously hit the nail on the head. We were displaced for 7 months after a hurricane in 2020, and I had such terrible storm anxiety.. I would check weather patterns multiple times a day.
He has helped me feel so much calmer and able to let go of checking for myself.

[@pinkcupcake4717]

I was 9 in 2004, and that summer is ingrained into my memory for all time. Charley's eye went directly over my house and I remember how clear and quiet it was almost 20 years later. I've been fascinated with and in awe of hurricanes ever since.

[@carloscortes5570]

We are so happy and relieved here in Puerto Rico!!! This hurricane would had totally destroyed us..our power grid is still not totally rebuilt after hurricane Maria!!! I got all the metal storm window shades up...the boat out of San juan Bay and secured...etc etc...I just hope and pray it doesn't hit land and stays in the ocean...for those who have never been hit directly by a hurricane of this strength I will assure you it's no fun..it's absolutely total destruction and the aftermath are weeks of suffering!! No water.no power.no ice.no fuel.no food.no medical facilities open .no road access..it's a total nightmare

[@meyer629]

I just cant say enough great things about Dr. Levi Cowan and this channel! His passion for meteorology and weather always comes through each and every video. His thorough preparation and experience and analysis. It's like we're getting a mini course in science. My utmost thanks to you Sir. Always look forward to these with anticipation. Thank you Dr.!

[@michaelthescreechowl9427]

I've been watching you for years and I love your videos. Thank you for what you do.

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks for today's summary on Hurricane Lee. Watching from Miami, FL with numerous friends, and family in the NE.

[@boldasalion6436]

Thank you so much Dr Levi 💙 my son working in the Bahamas this week, you put my mind at ease considering this is one strong 🌀

Thank you sir.

[@titanbrew8493]

Thank you Dr. Cowan, sharing with my family on the SE Massachusetts shore!

[@bobbyesamdahl]

thank you

[@karlfair]

Thanks

[@TJ-jf4ez]

Why do the models keep initializing 30-40 mbs higher than what the hurricane hunters are finding? Do they not add in the info they find into the models?

[@Jonathan-qr7gx]

I wondered the same thing!

[@Tropical-Tidbits]

It really depends on the model. Some models take the human-assessed intensity (often from recon aircraft) and incorporate it into the model analysis (e.g., HAFS and GFS). Others don't or incorporate that information less strongly (e.g., ECMWF). Even if they do, model resolution may be too coarse to resolve a strong hurricane fully, making it appear weaker than it actually is.

[@TJ-jf4ez]

@@Tropical-Tidbits thanks for the clarification Levi!

[@leduped6146]

Great job as always!

[@ruelfunelas9389]

Great analysis! Thank you so much!!

[@merrillthompson8248]

Always a great explanation! Thank you!

[@rowanbarrows7724]

Thx Doc

[@jasonnoel3813]

Thanks for the update, overcast with thunderstorm right now. We had some showers in the morning some areas got rain for hours.

[@michaelfkessler2685]

Levi, as powerful and slow as this storm is developing, what kind of ACE do you expect it to generate?

[@Tropical-Tidbits]

A lot.

[@elderbob100]

Hurricane Hugo was a major storm right off the coast of Africa. It made a perfectly straight line across the Atlantic to North Carolina. Every day the forecasters kept predicting "the turn" right off the US coast. Hugo made "the turn" at the Great Lakes into Canada. Every time I hear the phrase "the turn" my anxiety level goes up.

[@geekgee]

Bermuda appreciates your insights... thank you.

[@JustAllinOneResource]

Thank You. Liked, and Shared.

[@deepquake9]

You really know your business 🌀

[@sooofisticated0499]

This is just a fantastic channel and Dr. Levi is the Jeff masters of our time. I love the scientific tidbits in the videos too it really adds a lot of value to the channel

[@vaderjones357]

Thanks Levi!!💜🌀

[@BrettL250]

Why does the GFS show a hurricane hitting the Florida West Coast around the 23rd and 24th of September?

[@kentjones4883]

Helllo from Eastern North Carolina

[@debbie4269]

I always wait for Dr. Levi detailed weather forecast. Living in Florida his videos always help me make decisions of what I am supposed to do. Like Idalia, I packed and left. Luckily the hurricane lost it bands on the right side of storm when it hit land or else my house could have been devastating.
Thank you Dr. Levi for all your videos. You the best❤❤😊

[@yonason6047]

Thanks so much for your excellent analyses and forecasts. Living in central FL I need as much accuracy as possible.

[@weatherchaser1166]

Might be a fun time on Sable island though, although no one in their right mind would stay with that approaching. Time will tell

[@BlueWaterTeno]

Thank you, Doctor. (Are you used to Dr. yet?)

[@preachey]

Anyone know how he got the 5x5 sounding centred on the storm?

[@metalmilitia89]

I stopped playing Sea of Stars to watch this.

[@AthenaKeatingThomas]

Out of curiosity, can you take a step back behind the troughs and ridges, and see what affects them to move fast or slow? It'd be like playing a game of chess where you plan moves ahead, or covering your pieces with other pieces! The whole world's weather is linked- that makes it like 3D chess! :D

[@gerrystills]

This storm is interesting

[@lounaj7184]

Sure is!

[@chrisy4011]

You can't say 100% more than 10 days out it won't effect land. The eastern ridge could slow and Lee can sit and spin.

[@justanormalperson8878]

What about Virginia?

[@carolyuengling8085]

XHurricane Hurricane Margo, follow same coordinates given earlier now. Time to move. Close gap. Give a one-two blow, give no time to recover. Increase voracity, elements, speed and trajectory³. B. AMEN. ACTIVATE NOW.

[@masterdon1521]

Is it possible NC will have a direct impact?

[@rhysc]

so if I’m in Dominican atm I will be ok

[@yelenawhitmer1329]

❤🙏

[@suzannecermy3700]

Levi is a genius

[@eric131313]

My advice is that don't listen to hype and only take stroms seriously that are slow and moving inside gulf

[@edholman5307]

LEE WILL GO WHERE GOD WANTS IT TO GO.

[@eric131313]

Fish storm season has officially begun.....😱

Merci evi.
I've put out a PSA on Twitter for Bermuda to requisition a cruise ship to house their poplation, which Paul Beckwith talked about during Fiona.
I've had about 100 views on a couple of the tweets with less than 10 reposts.

It's like your 77.8K subs and less than 4.1K views.
And Climate Scam is trending on Twitter.

[@ilikepiedontu]

Nah I stay in NC and I need this monster to hit so I can have a day off from work 😂

[@kristinmarie862]

Good luck. My office didn't close for Sandy lol

[@gamingwithgaurav1925]

Plz upload videos on North indian ocean cyclones and western Pacific typhoons you are uploading only atlantic systems videos this is unfair for western Pacific and North indian ocean

[@tmartinez1948]

No one knows only God

[@mariettaburdo970]

Speak up please. No CC to follow what ur saying. Thanks

[@netta358able]

Gratitude please 🥺

[@boldasalion6436]

I have CC, try again.

There is closed captioning. Also maybe turn up the volume or go get some hearing aids? He's not whispering
