Generational storm... That's terrifying. I've been through Matthew and Florence, so those words are personally haunting. Thank you for keeping us updated Gerald! And congrats on 10k! 🎉
Well, it just got real here in the Midlands of SC. We're under a Tropical Storm Watch, but the NWS also said: "Prepare for a dangerous tornado event." Yikes. I'll be storm prepping today. Thanks for the forecast--you and Mitch stay safe!!
I watch Mitch as well!! He’s an awesome guy and fellow veteran. Can’t wait to see y’all’s videos!! Be careful. I live in fort Myers and Ian was awful. This one could be worse.
I just finished Mitch's forecast I've been on his cast ...close to the beginning 2 years ago....Ryan hall yall....will live stream ..the tornadoes.....very helpful...
Actually, earlier “wobbles” produce greater variation in eventual landfall in most cases. In this case, the most significant steering influences have a steep gradient of influence so that their influence is RELATIVELY negligible right now but as the storm approaches landfall, the influence of the cutoff low over the Missouri area and the ridge to the east increase rapidly and - excepting some radical change in path - will channel the storm right into that least resistive path. The only thing that I think would change the cone radically would be if that LP to the NW made a completely unexpected change in its position. My main point was just that earlier wobbles are significant. Hurricanes do not have guidance systems that lead them to a target for landfall. Major wobbles long before landfall that are not reflected in model runs mean that there was some variable that unexpectedly influenced the motion or even indicate a new surface low that has become dominant. If those wobbles were insignificant, then they wouldn’t be reflected in the next initialization of the model run. BTW… you are doing an excellent job on this storm.
You referred to Roanoke Island as "Roanoke" again. Roanoke is a city in Virginia with a population of 315,000 people. Roanoke Island is a small island on the coast of North Carolina with a population of 6,724 people. Even people from Roanoke Island refer to that as "Roanoke Island."
With the massive size of this, Will it still be able to increase in strength after hit hits land? Still so much of the storm will still be over the Gulf.
Not click bait but a calculated post! If you know anything about weather with FujiWhara effect in place Helene will be slingshot into Georgia where hurricane conditions will travel well inland and the size and intensity will cause catastrophic conditions in places!
@@kevineldridge6958 this will be a Helene; she will make her own mark! The only hope is for some dry air to interact on the left quadrant to limit its intensity but that’s a hope 👍
Generational? Like Hugo, Andrew, Katrina. You seem very young. Just wait a few years and you'll see some hurricanes brother. 2004 was a crazy year for hurricanes in Florida. We had 4 hurricanes in a row.
@GMengelWeather I agree. My brother lives in Atlanta and is currently prepping for the storm. Just purchased a decent size generator. Keep up the good work on here!
One of two hurricanes in 2004 went right over Pavo, Ga. I watched it all night long from my parents house next door. I would rather not experience that again.
A generational storm, Get used to it because this is going to be the new norm. Wait till you see what this storm does to georgia and tennessee. Not to mention north florida.
And why doesn’t the earth move under this or any other storm? That storm has been in the same area for days and the earth hasn’t budged. That violates every gas law. Every physical action demands a physical reaction. Please explain why the earth is not moving.
All of the components of our atmosphere rotate with the planet. Now if these components change latitude then we see a reaction. That reaction is the Coriolis effect, and why low and high pressure spin the way they do.

Congrats. Watched last night. You do a great job. Mitch is great also. Mama bear says yall be safe.
We appreciate it, and will play it safe!

Congrats on 10K! You deserve it!
Hi Gerald! Longtime fan from Pittsburgh, PA (currently thunderstorming). Congrats on 10k! Be safe!
Hello there! Thank you for returning to view!
Great live stream with Mitch last night, stayed up to get all the latest details. Love @GMweather
Congratulations on 10,000 subs 🎉
Congrats on the 10k 👊🏻👍🏻
Congratulations on reaching your milestone, from Asheville. You are on a great start of your career.
Thank you so much!

Let's go gerald!! Weather man! Its james from high school
Thank you from Augusta Georgia
Great video! Hope you and Mitch stay safe down there! Your upstate SC folks need to be on high alert!
A very big congradulations on you meeting your goal.
Wow stay safe and hope to catch your live
Good morning Gerald enjoyed your live last night looks like more rain here in Dowagiac Michigan 😊😊
Good morning, glad you enjoyed!
Mitch West Weather sent me over. Great job!
Congratulations on 10K
Thank you very much! 😀

Gerald, when you get the chance, can u let us know how far across this storm is expected to be? Thank you for all of your time and effort. God bless.
Thanks!
Congratulations 👏 🎉
Just an FYI...Florida has already flooded due to a 2 week rain event so we will flood bad. Especially around Jax FL.
I know Maryland isn’t the largest state but please don’t forget to mention us when relevant.

Im looking for Cat 2 in the area of Valdosta Georgia. What do you think????
@@wesleyferguson6932 nope
Im starting to dreed this hurricane. Im near Valdosta Georgia.
Moultrie here.

"GENERATIONAL Storm" = click bait.
I guess that depends on where you are located. For some of us, it could very well be. We don’t tend to get hurricane force winds in upstate SC.
@whiskeyhelps8182 Gotcha. I just went through Ian (and many others in the past) in Fort Myers, Fl., so that's where I'm coming from.

@@HowlOutdoorAdventures Will this be a Galveston, a Katrina, a Sandy? Bold claim is all I'm saying.

I think it will more generation Inland compared to the coast.

Bold calling it a generational storm there you’re getting annoying with the clickbait

Tornadoes in Charlotte? 😢
It's raining in GA now. We get a extra 2 in for today that has nothing to do with the hurricane! Bullcrap!
Anyone remember what hurricane opal did?
🕊💞👍.... 🌧
Generational? That's hooey clickbait. Good forecast outside of that.
Of course it is 🙄
Some people just need to shut up
And why doesn’t the earth move under this or any other storm? That storm has been in the same area for days and the earth hasn’t budged. That violates every gas law. Every physical action demands a physical reaction. Please explain why the earth is not moving.

Oh, you're a flatard 😅
What a stupid comment..
Lol what ? It spins with the earth.
Yep every time we get a hurricane the earth just stops and waits for the storm. WAFMO!!!
This guy is pretty good for a 8th grader😅😅
@@Oldschool811 Rude.
Way over exaggerated
