Hurricane Laura is expected to bring 9+ feet of storm surge to parts of Louisiana and Texas. THIS is why it's so important to listen to evacuation orders.
When he says “you don’t know what’s in the water” I’m thinking: used needles, diapers, used toilet paper. Nasty. The flood waters are always brown too.
Dingle Stingle it did. But we can’t confirm because the water cadges are only in cities. The worst storm surge we’re in forest areas. Even with the cadges we got. There was 10 foot surges in Lake Charles. And it wasn’t forecast to be 20 feet inland. The surge was 20 feet on the coast but was only forecast to be 6-9’ inland. That’s still a lot of water. And still enough to cause billions in damage.
I read a report from the NOAA on Hurricane Harvey that stated the danger of storm surges could've been communicated better with modern technology. I suppose this is the realization of what they were talking about. Love to see innovations in meteorology and communication to the public! Hope it really did help save lives - I'm still catching up on the full extent of Laura's damage :(
@@Critical-Thinker895 Me in Florida breathing a sign of that's it's not Florida again. But maybe I spoke too soon, the hurricane season isn't over yet.
This was exactly what I was looking for. I subscribed, and beyond that, will be searching for other videos on your channel that are make sense. Your style is brilliant. Thanks!🤣💪
Lake Charles native here, I seem to remember extreme words like 'unsurvivable' being used to describe what Laura would be (not might be). Can I get a show on Discovery since Bear Grylls couldn't even cut it when there wasn't a hurricane going on?
I immediately remembered the hurricane haiyan that Many people were killed in our town 😭We did not expect it to be so strong! Stay safe Please be careful 🙏🙏🙏
@@howardty2733 Featured snippet from the web "difference between hurricane and typhoon " The only difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs
Personally, I'd say it's better to give a high danger estimate and have people evacuate even though you might not need to rather than give a low estimate and put people in potentially life-threatening situations.
@@maxireigl1919 Personally, it would be even better if they would stop with the dramatics... it is all about clicks and advertising dollars... and it works every time.
@@artistrymindsstudios2531 its not about please don't evacuate... its about how everyone lives by whatever the media says. Thete are tools out there for each of us to do our own tracking and research. Im a cross country trucker i drive through the worst of storm all year round. Part of my job is to pre plan and track storms when choosing my routes. So it sucks for the ppl that can't afford to evacuate because the media loves to sell a story with panic and chaos...
But Laura was very bad anyway, and it could have been what they showed here. I agree that sometimes they're dramatic, like standing outside while the storm blows. But the forecasts are all that we have for guidance. There are a few million people that live south of Interstate 10 in Louisiana, and we all know that storm surge can and has in the past come very far inland because we have no elevation. I live 40 miles from the coast and was in the path when both Marco and Laura were headed in the same direction. Our area has an amazing levee, but not enough to withstand Cat 3 or greater due to storm surge. We've been lucky for years that we haven't had a direct hit. I personally know folks in Laura's path who are out of their homes because of wind damage and one with major flooding who wouldn't have survived without evacuating. Don't say Laura wasn't that bad, please. Listening to the fear-mongering media for storms is better than nothing. (Oh, and do my own tracking and research as well.)
i need myself a grey circle to keep me safe
BRO ME TOO
Where u at I’m in Shreveport
I saw this in an episode of Spongebob before so it’s confirmed true. A circle will keep you protected from storms and sea bear attacks.
See I love how something tragic is happening and we can make joke about it...like our generation is screwed up😂 but seriously prayers to texas🙏🙏🙏
I got em 3 for 10. But for yesterday.. nd tomorrow only
They should start selling these grey circles
Joshua Clayton so true
We all need one, they can just protect you from everything 🤯
Ikr
It would save alot of lives
It is basically an invisible shield
props to the camera man who stood outside of the gray circle
So brave!
No, he has his own gray circle
Nice copy

What joke
They're like the seagulls from Nemo

@@AngelFish007 sorry I was just confused
And some kids even think its fun to play in the flood water.Ew
Poop
If we can get live footage of 9 feet in a city setting I will be surprised.
You probably will
It won't happen. It's all scare tactics from MSM
Cary Davis how is it scare tactics? There trying to keep you safe. You try surviving a 10-20 foot storm surge.

Flood: I will destroy all humankind
Gray circle: I am about to end this whole man's career.
Yeah, I heard they may start selling them soon!

Icing on the cake? Add burbling water effect to presenter's voice.
God bless everyone in this situation!
Great job the the Weather Channel team for creating such a stunning demonstration. Hope it reached the right people!
Super cool visuals make me actually wanna watch
No one:
Everyone: GrEy CiRcLe!
Me watching storm videos before bed, waiting to see the aftermath of Hurricane Laura in the morning
Sad, isn’t it?

Are you ok??
Me awakening in Houston breathing a sigh of relief that we were spared.
@@Critical-Thinker895 Me in Florida breathing a sign of that's it's not Florida again. But maybe I spoke too soon, the hurricane season isn't over yet.
Is amazing how they do the visuals. It really makes people say ‘Wow, we gotta evacuate.’ With a normal radar, many people wont mind.
wow! you guys did a good job with this presentation.
Weather channel: I have really good cg
Hollywood: did I find a chalange
This man doesn't realize he is a waterbender
God bless everyone down south I’m in north LA I pray for all of you GET OUT OF THERE BRUH
It's too late it's literally about to make landfall

The only tru way to survive a natural disaster is by standing in a gray circle

@@dankolo571 nah i dont care about the likes i just dont have anything better to say
God be with you
I personally experience this in Supertyphoon Haiyan way back in 2013
I wish I had that circle
This guy is the male version of Storm.
very impressive visualization.
Our dude is really water bending with his hand motions.
*Insert grey circle joke here*
good sense of humour
It's that time of the year lads.
Thank you for the graphics..... it most definitely painted the picture.
Screw the weather survival guides, all I need is a gray circle
I want a Gray Circle😢😂
everyone: a yes the gray circle
me: where da fish
I'm just appreciating all the grey-circle and avatar comments. Also, I wonder if they used Unreal or Unity, or something else for the animation.
Tell Spongebob to make you a circle in case if a sea bear tries to attack you
LMFAO
Well yet nothing like this happened
Just like spongebob's anti-sea bear circle.
Unreal Engine for the graphics! Nice!
Glad that theirs no real natural disasters in my country
This was exactly what I was looking for. I subscribed, and beyond that, will be searching for other videos on your channel that are make sense. Your style is brilliant. Thanks!🤣💪
Great visuals!
If less testing means less COVID, then less weather forecasters means less storm surge.
It's as simple as that folks.
That was funny watching Jim Cantore and gov. Edwards trying to out do each other with the fear mongering on live TV!
But there was *NO* storm surge at all. _Oops!_
High winds
Only 150mph winds that twisted and bent steel structures and oak trees like straws.
All hyped up ! It didn't happen in my area .. max it was 4ft
Bro that grey circle has so much plot armour
Man I love these weather channel clips - so informing!

The last water bender and is it just me or does the circle feel like the anti sea bear circle from spongebob
Lake Charles native here, I seem to remember extreme words like 'unsurvivable' being used to describe what Laura would be (not might be). Can I get a show on Discovery since Bear Grylls couldn't even cut it when there wasn't a hurricane going on?
I wish I had a grey circle for Laura and salta cause my house is gone I could’ve stood in my circle
The gray circle is back baby!
The camera man didn’t live through that one
THE CIRCLE HAS RETURNED
where can I get a circle like that?
That’s a creepy back ground
everyone is now rushing to get a grey circle
cameraman is in creative mode
I immediately remembered the hurricane haiyan that Many people were killed in our town 😭We did not expect it to be so strong! Stay safe Please be careful 🙏🙏🙏
Its not a hurricane its a super typhoon
You mean Super Typhoon Haiyan?
I went out for a run during Haiyan -- Life is a gamble.

The only difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs
this guy is enjoying himself
He’s in an anti seabear circle
he's tall asf
I love when weather channel do this
They STILL haven't told anyone where to buy these gray circles
Gray circle at the weather channel means its time to flex the graphics
The gray circle is like the yellow submarine but gray lol
Wow!i caught a legendary grey circle!
How is the camera man getting all of this? Man.
We need a life jacket in 2020
I dunno whose idea it was to invest in IMR productions, but it's clearly paying off.
Ah yes, my favorite restaurant *EAT*
I thought the Netflix Avatar Live Action reboot got canned.
Where can i buy myself a grey Circle?
Man I should get one of those grey circles
Why can’t the water get in the very circle??: Me well it’s strong
I found a red frisby in the garage, do you think I'll be okay if I stand on it?
Oh god i live in garland it’s hitting hard here
Wow I like your input and how you describe the surge nobody does that you guys do that more nationally
How much do gray circles cost
One gray circle equals one meal donated to a family in need, please buy a gray circle today.
Can you do a grey circle giveaway?😅🤣🤣🤣
Step 1: Go to your local news station and go to a store called the "Twinkle Toes News Store" and buy a grey circle for 2 dollars
The 6ft and 9ft surges looked terrifying. I truly hope people listen to the authorities and evacuate. Well wishes from Canada
I read that some people say that the issue is that some people got nowhere or ways to evacuate :(
Felixz Continue I hear that too and also got the mixed message to shelter in place for the 1st storm and applied it to Laura which is much worse
10% of the comments: thanks
1928310923812093% of the comments: I NEED THAT FUCKING GREY CIRCLE
That circle totally has frost walker boots on
Wow this was pretty informative you should watch the Mexican one
The only place it would be New Orleans and if you stay in New Orleans during a hurricane that’s just natural selection
as first as I saw that challenger I started to cry
Hail the Grey Circle !!!
The US military really needs to invest in grey circles
There's a sale at Penny's!
There has been an increase in global storm intensification rates over the last few decades.
