I'm repeating myself by saying that yet again I've learned something new from you about the nature of storms. You're not just giving us accurate forecast information, you're also educating your audience. Thanks again!

You have been and still are the best on the Internet. Up here in the Florida panhandle many of my friends rely on you as the first and best source of tropical expertise. We appreciate you very much!

[meowsmix]

Thank you again Dr. Levi. NC here, I've always kept an eye out for your videos for insightful information on exactly what is going on with these storms and why. You were an invaluable resource during Florence.

Watching from an apartment in a water-damaged building located on the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers - still suffering from Ian's storm surge damage. Paying attention. We weren't given sufficient time to evacuate last year, so, just trying to be a bit more proactive. It does appear that Idalia will most likely make landfall a bit further north of Lee County, but, this is yet early in the season. No doubt, there will be more to come.

As usual calm, cool and collected. Thank you for this respectful delivery of current information. When will we have all the reconnaissance information uploaded to the models?

Can't count the number of times I've listened to your videos and been impressed with the manner in which you explain the factors in play that affect hurricanes. It's allowed me to focus on making preparations and not over reacting or ignoring warnings from my local authorities. Thank you!

There are a lot of weather forecasters out there, and some are pretty damned good. If you want the “Gold Standard” for in depth analysis for Tropical storms, it is right here. Thanks, doc.

Very great update, very interesting to see the meteorology behind this in specific detail. I’m from New Jersey and while they are rare, Hurricanes have happened up here and we should always be on the look out.

We have had a good strong wind here in Cozumel all day today. A few rain showers and the port closed for the second day in a row!

[IreneFerris]

Thank you, Dr. Levi! Glad you're on the case!
