    Hey, Jeff Piotrowski, I remember seeing you on your RUclips video when you drove into Joplin, Missouri as the category 5 Tornado approached from the southwest. You were driving south on Range Line Road. Your coverage was second to none and illustrated great courage in the face of such massive danger. I see you're still risking it all to bring us the deadly "inside" story. Thanks and take care. DBB

    During Irma the storm suddenly stopped and everything calmed down. We knew what it meant but apparently the neighbor didn't. He came outside and started trying to clear debris. A tree had uprooted and was laying just in front of his house, blocking his front door. He brought a chainsaw out and was cutting the limbs. We were yelling at him to get back inside and he turned around and flipped us off. Next thing you know the storm wall hit and he was getting hit with debris from trees and could barely stand. It happened almost instantly. His son had to run out and try to help him inside. It was stupid. People are so stupid. And he had the nerve to flip us off. We were trying to warn him, that it was about to get really bad. If you're hit with sheet metal, stop signs, pieces of trees, house siding or really anything, you will be very injured. Not to mention the water began rushing down the street again very quickly.

    when he said "continuous lightning" that's impossible. Hurricanes do not produce thunder and/or lightning because winds at cloud level are horizontal and for lightning to occur there needs to be vertical winds in the clouds to cause friction between ice pellets and water vapour

    Hurricanes aren’t as bad as they are made out to be. Look at the vehicles they use. Average cars with no protection. Serious storm chaser vehicles are the tornado guys. They have armored vehicles with cameras mounted all over along with sensors. This guy was yelling trying to make it sound like it was bad. Aluminium siding ripped off mobile trailers was called damage.

    We got insanely lucky in Tampa and stayed on the west side of the eye with it coming straight up in between Tampa and Lakeland. Winds were insane though. Most of the city south of 275 lost power. Had that eyewall hugged the coast I can't imagine what it would have done to Tampa Bay. On Sunday probably about 3pm an oak tree cracked right in half outside my window, and the worst winds didn't even arrive until about 1130pm.

  • @ajking913
    @ajking913 4 года назад

    I love the wind. I'd be thrilled to be out in it, but still pretty concerned about projectiles. I don't understand why the weather reporters need to be standing in it. I mean, they manage just fine with a greenscreen map in a studio every other day. At least let them stand in the studio and greenscreen the storm behind them. I just find the risk of getting slammed or killed by a projectile an unacceptable risk to 3 minutes of delivering 'news' on location. Seeing them in the wind doesn't change the storm at all. lol

    These media types really don't know basic English terminology and definitions. The eye of the hurricane is the one spot of calm within the raging storm, that's why on the Doppler radar it's clear and looks like an eye, or at least a pupil. If he actually went into the eye of the hurricane it would be still and partly sunny
