"Tornadoes are very sensitive to their environment."

Never thought I'd have so much in common with a tornado.

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

[diekje]

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

[navtektv]

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.

[omarmier]

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

[ExoHazzy]

There's something so cool about seeing an expert explain stuff and know what they're talking about

[Purrfect_Werecat]

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

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.

[k.ottophillips]

I like this guy, he's extremely knowledgeable in everything he spoke about, and he explained it in such a way that it wasn't over the viewers head, nor wasn't talking down to them.

[nobodyexceptme]

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

[shinlee]

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

[SaraSaniA]

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

[brandocommando]

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

[KelvinR]

The fact that GQ brought in a whole meteorologist and didn’t have them break down 2012 is actually criminal.

[shadylane]

Volcanoes: *goes off*
5, 000 years later
Volcanoes: AND ANOTHER THING!

[ngaireoleary]

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.

[marielleallen]

This is one of those rare 45 minute videos that is genuinely interesting for 45 minutes, he did a great job explaining

[TheAzngo]

Woooo that’s my local Austin weatherman! Awesome job David! He has always been great at explaining weather events and breaking it down for us on local tv, so it’s unsurprising how well he did this for GQ.

[Emm_er]

Everything this man says about The Day After Tomorrow is curing my childhood nightmares. Cold-cored hurricanes aren't real, Little Me, they can't hurt you.

[yanniesays]

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 😂
