Learned more in this 13 minute video than I would have on a 4 hour documentary series about the storm on the Weather Channel. Actually, the WC would leave me with more questions than answers. Thank you sir.

The Weather Channel has been garbage for over a decade now. They overhype everything, even by naming winter storms. All they care about are their own stupid documentarys and reality series that no one watches.

Thanks for videos, I live in central east Florida and not getting enough info from news on the track. They seem to give enough to keep you watching. I have noticed since Saturday 11 o'clock the models trend was moving back west but the models after 11am Sunday haven't been updated keep showing same model? Keep up the good work !

It almost looked like the storm was moving a tad toward the south in the last few frames on the radar. I find it hard to believe that it's going to turn and completely miss Florida entirely but we shall see what will happen in the next day or two.

Thank you so much for your in-depth videos. Even I could understand the idiosyncrasies and will now know what to watch for.
Levi- thank you for all of your hard work! You make it so easy to understand all of the components regarding Dorian! I love your practical delivery and your calming voice. You are definitely our Hurricane Go To Guy!!
I'm fascinated by literally if this thing is not tall enough it could come to Florida
I have learned more in the last two days than in a lifetime...only 4 years here now and what you say actually makes perfect sense....Thanks for giving a no-nonsense factual report instead of the weatherporn from most MSM outlets.
Thank you, Levi! Very much appreciate the explanation of HWRF track vs. other models
Thanks for the great videos and pics, they really help.
Thanks for your work, Levi. This is the first storm for which I've gone to your videos for updates. I really appreciate all the details and explanations.
Best updates anywhere. Thanks Tropical Tidbits!
Amazing & knowledgable summary! Looking forward to your next update! Don't think it's turning, hope I'm wrong.
What a great lesson in how this all works. Thanks. I live on the Gulf Coast in south central Florida and praying for all the human and animal life facing this storm.
Thanks for the update. In less than 15 minutes you were able to provide more and better information that the weather channel in two days! I just subscribed and liked the video. Looking forward for your next update
9pm still at 26.6 north latitude, West Palm is at 27 north latitude. Still moving west. Gulf stream temp 87deg. Subbed earlier , watching you and BP
Excellent. Answers questions before they're asked. This has been my go-to throughout the storm.
You Are the one we go to now, Thank You for being here!:)
Absolutely awesome report sir!!!! I salute you. So much better than any report on television by miles!
This guy is awesome! Best explanation of the day--better than anything I've seen on TV. Thank you!
Thank you sir, this is what I've been looking for. No off the shelf suits and bobble heads. Good analysis of where it's currently at.
Wow, excellent summary and presentation. Better than anything I've ever seen! Great work!
Extremely detailed and informative analysis! Love the detailed breakdown and graphs, we never get to see on TV Weather Channels! Spectacular job, great video/storm update!
you do an awesome job. ever since I discovered your video updates, I am always looking forward to and am excited to watch.
what an AWESOME explanation...WELL DONE!!!
The cross section view of the storm was very helpful! Thank you!
You are so very good at what you do! I would be forever grateful for your forecast if living on the eastern coast of any of those states!

The best report that is thorough and easily understood. Thanks so much.😀🇺🇸
Brilliant..I c uv done lots of homework in the past... awesome!
I’m strongly considering watching this as my go to tropical forecast! You sir should have you own forecasting program! Brilliant work!👍🏽
Super interesting video! Thanks, Levi!
Best weather information online! Thank You!
Your explanations are insightful! Thank you
Your videos are simply outstanding. I've never seen someone give the exact details of what's exactly happening and how it could effect the future of this storm.
Fantastic work as always!
This is the best expanation of the complexities involoved in predicting a weather event I have ever heard. Couldn't be more clear. Thank you Levi. You are a pro's pro.
👍👍👍👍 we need a dedicated detail weather events channel like this.
Thank you! So concise and easy to understand.
Awesome analysis, thank you!
Thanks. Learned of your presentation from my brother-in-law who lives in Palm Bay, Fl
Great video as always! So sorry for the Bahamas 😭🙏🏻
Awesome presentation!
Amazing analysis. Thanks for all your hard work!
Brilliant analysis!!! Best I’ve ever seen!!!
Amazing video Levi...as usual.
Excellent video! Thank you for mentioning storm surge. Many are not talking about this and it can also be very damaging...
This is absolutely the best explanation of what is going on with the storm! Keep it up, please. I hope you get hired by a national channel soon because you are great!
Amazing analysis, excellent work!
Thanks for your detailed technical analysis.
Thanks Levi. Much appreciated.
That was very informative. Thanks for your efforts!
Amazing presentation.
Wow!! Amazing info. My new go to spot on hurricanes!! Subscribed!!!
Being a boat captain and a surfer i have always had a deep interest in weather, especially tropical systems. They are so powerful yet can be influenced by small variations in the climate around them. So interesting! I live in panama city and was in the eyewall of hurricane Michael. I will never forget the awe inspiring power of mother nature. Thank you Levi for your very professional videos. I wish I knew about your videos last October.
Even though I'm here in Los Angeles, I greatly appreciate the information provided. Excellent job.
GREAT analysis!
Great coverage !
Thank you so much for another informative video!
Wow a big storm . Thanks for that update . I've been a weather nut for a while and you showed a graph I've never seen on any other channel . I'm impressed and am glad I stumbled onto this channel . Does anyone know if he does tornado and winter storms ??? 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks SO MUCH for your informational video. Really appreciate it! We live on the east coast of Florida very close to West Palm Beach.
Great job in detail....
Interesting analysis of the HWRF model, let's hope it's wrong. Also hoping all those poor souls in the Bahamas are okay and as always thanks and stay safe Levi.
As always, thanks Levi
Amazing analysis that's completely understandable...thank you Levi!!
Very informative, Thank you Levi. 🍁
This should be part of every newscast in the affected areas.
Great information and explanation Levi..I live in Panama City, Florida. We faced the CATASTROPHIC "Michael" CAT 5 last October..It was, and is, and will be for years, the most difficult natural disaster our town and surrounding towns have faced thus far.. Our community and surrounding communities have not recovered. It will be years.. We just NOW got our insurance settlement and can finally put on a new roof, replace windows, rebuild our front porch, etc.. It was and is a devastating thing to have a CAT 4, or 5 hit you.. Living in the immediate aftermath was insane..like a bomb went off in every direction..debris everywhere, 12 ft high along the roads and neighborhood streets once cleanup operations began 3 weeks later.. For 4 months you could only see debris fields out every window.. Millions of trees in the county..gone..half the homes gone.. Tons and tons of debris, demolished properties, belongings, etc... had to be removed truckloads at a time..that was a monumental task.. Breathing was hard for many of us.. as air quality was poor..due to mold, demolition, ..and still is a constant health issue, due to all the teardown and construction all around on a mass scale. But we got through it all and will get through...with the help of Almighty God..my Heavenly Father. He provided many miraculous ways for our family and our neighbors who lost everything/homes/ businesses..to remain positive and hopeful. We had our lives and that's all that mattered! May God's protection be with all our fellow Floridians, and may prayers go up to Heaven for "those survivors" on the islands this storm just destroyed.. And a friendly reminder..Jesus loves you and me.. Call upon Him in times of trouble..He will hear and help you..He is the ROCK on which I stand..He will be your Rock too.
So informative! Thank you
Congrats on headlining on Drudge!
