Volcanos are so epic to me because they can literally be “silent” for 500 years and all of sudden they go “Nah”

Volcanoes:

"Tornadoes are very sensitive to their environment."

If I was a kid watching this dude explaining this stuff I might have been inspired to find out become a meteorologist. He's well spoken, explains things well and makes weather sound more interesting to me than it ever has been. Wish most educators were this knowledgeable and adept at teaching their subjects.

My family survived the 2017 Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, and they witnessed the eye of the hurricane and everything you described was how they experienced it. In fact it was so calm they thought the storm was over and then they could hear the wind rushing like a train and people scrambled back inside after they tried to investigate the damage.

This guy managed to talk about weather for 46 minutes and it wasn't even boring

Bruh, imagine this guy breaking down "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs"

Please invite him again to talk about anything he wants. Really like his whole interview

The Day After Tomorrow has been imprinted in my mind ever since I first saw it as an "educational film viewing" in 6th grade. I remember all of us leaving the room after the movie was finished, all feeling exhausted and shocked, as if we personally experienced those events 😂

He talks about tornadoes like they're animals and now I think they're adorable.

I need to add that Jake Gyllenhaal was playing Scott Fisher in the Everest movie and it is actually correct that his face wasn't covered, even though that was not something you would normally do. Fisher knew he was dying and took his oxygen mask off and sat down on the side of the mountain. His body remained there for a few years, but his face was completely blasted away by the ice and wind.

Learned more about weather in 40 minutes than I've ever in my entire life, what a guy, could become one of the best teachers ever.

This is somehow exactly what i would expect a GQ meteorologist to look like.

I'm waiting for the "Crackhead breaks down drug addicts in movies"

I wish he would’ve talked about at the end of “Twister” 🌪 when they are floating in the middle of a tornado. I’ve heard people say that could never happen because of all the debris in a tornado. It would’ve killed them. So it would’ve been nice to hear his opinion

I could listen to this guy talk about the weather all day long. He's so knowledgeable and he makes it sound really exciting despite most people thinking the weather is boring.

The best survival tactic to survive climbing Everest is to not climb Everest.

Today I Learned: dry storms aren't actually rainless, the water just evaporates before it hits the ground.

For anyone who wants to see two tornados simultaneously just look up the Pilger Twins. That's a well documented double EF4 event where a single supercell developed into 2 mesocyclones which dropped two tornadoes at the same time that leveled Pilger. Also another way to see two tornadoes at the same time would be a rare event called an Anti Cyclonic tornado which would mirror the main cyclonic tornado, but spins in the opposite direction. The reason tornados are called cyclones are because they spin in the same motion as the earth spins. So anti cyclonic tornado spins opposite the direction the earth spins. A large tornado, if you want to see just how big one can get. Look up the El Reno tornado. It wasn't the most powerful, but it was absolutely massive in size. The largest and one of the fastest moving tornadoes in history.
