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.
That’s exactly what they sound like. A big azz freight train. Happened here during Hurricane Irma right before Maria I believe. I’m in Florida & I’ve never heard such a loud noise with a storm coming through
Same. Bay of Bengal region is prime cyclone area, but the city of Kolkata, which is slightly inland, along the river, is usually not in the direct path of the eye. We're no stranger to it, but when super cyclone amphan ran over the city, we witnessed the eye in the middle of the night; the wind around it reached 290kmph at one time. it was unbelievable

He also had a dozen writers/camera crew/editors and months of preparation. Can your school afford all of that? Or more to the point: when did 'entertainment' become a requirement for learning? Read your textbook! Do your homework! Think! How lazy are you?
David is the chief meteorologist at KXAN TV in Austin, TX. He replaced a guy, Jim Spencer, who recently retired after a long and very distinguished career. David is absolutely the right man for that job. Very smart and a very good communicator.
I have a geology degree and was taught that it is impossible to predict earthquakes, yet there is a guy on youtube called Dutchsinse who has been accurately predicting earthquakes for years. Also he discovered how storms are created. th-cam.com/video/uWXkZg5lUAU/w-d-xo.html
I live in David Yeomen's viewing area in Texas. This guy will stay up all night with us on Facebook live and kxan during bad weather. He is amazing and kind and cares about his viewers. Fantastic Meteorologist. We are proud to have him.
I love this. He is not making fun of the misconceptions just giving the real facts and making you realize how scary nature can be. And you can see he loves his job.
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 😂
"The Day After Tomorrow has been imprinted in my mind ever since I first saw it as an "educational film viewing" in 6th grade. " Whatever teacher chose to show that to 6th graders should be fired. It's doubly bad that it was ostensibly "educational".
Same, I remember watching this in 7th grade geography and history, a teacher showed us this on movie day, everyone else was probably a little shaken up but I was truly fascinated at the force of nature. Truly remarkable
I just finished Natural Disasters class at my college and it made this video so much more interesting knowing what I’ve learned about actually makes sense

Twister came out when I was 16, instant love and it's still one of my favorite movies. Also, the current president of Finland survived the 2004 tsunami, he was on a vacation in Thailand, at a beach location. He survived hanging on to an electric pole with his son. His other son was also there with his girlfriend, they survived too by floating upwards in the rising water at a very narrow alleyway until they managed to climb onto the roof of the other building they were in between.
I live in Oklahoma and while I'm still scared of big storms at the end of the day its out of my control but when the time comes ill do what I have too no doubt!!!
He has a very beautiful voice. What accent does he have? Midlands? English is my 3rd language and he speaks extremely clear that I even don't need subtitles and that happens extremely rare for me :O
I cannot believe I just watched a video about weather for almost an hour and I was thoroughly entertained during every second. Love this guy, this was fascinating
You know, how they say that if you can't explain it to a five year old- you can't really understand it yourself. This guy really knows his stuff. He kind of reminds me of my history teacher, who was so passionate about the subject, that it ignited love for it in her students. Now I'd like to learn more about meteorology. It's amazing.
Reminds me of my science teachers in high school especially my physical science he could have been like his family scientist his brother works for NASA as a rocket scientist but he decided to be a teacher but his convos was interesting though I occasionally thought he had mad scientist vibes when he talked about it he kinda looked mad though I would go talk to him about disaster movies and very interesting convos he gave
I love hearing people talk about things they're passionate about. That never gets boring, even if you'd think it would be. Never thought I'd be *that* interested in the weather
At least he makes sense you ask my physical science teacher and let's just say it's like talking to a Dr who just talks medical jargon to a patient though luckily for me I understood about 75% of what he said
@@Ivy94F Same goes with anything. Learning it is one thing. Having to break it down in a way that's digestible and makes someone want to continue to learn is more difficult.
easily my most favorite breakdown. this guy is simply so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. also, he does a tremendous job of explaining technical aspects in a way that I could easily understand.
I lived in Houston when Hurricane Ike hit back in September 2008. They eye actually went over the city, and we had about two hours of complete and utter stillness. It was as breath-taking as it was eerie.
Regarding "The Impossible", there was a kid at my school, about 2 years below me, who lost both his parents and brother in that disaster, I think they were in Sri Lanka. I have never seen the film, and I'm still not certain if that's out of respect or horror for what happened. I don't think I ever will watch the film though tbh, it really shook the whole school. I hope you're ok buddy.
Being in the eye of a hurricane in so surreal feeling. Just looking up and seeing everything around you is insane. And it was crazy hearing him talk about it that way. When hurricane Laura hit, and the eye opened up, you could see people lined up looking at it
My mom was in the eye of a hurricane once! She said it was so surreal but my papa(grandpa) told her to get back inside because it was dangerous, and he was correct, cause according to my mum “ almost 2 minutes later the weather went insane “ makes me glad my papa knew what he was doing in that situation.
the most terrifying thing I learned is that if you’re in a terrible storm in the ocean, everything is dark so that means you have no idea a monster wave is coming at you until the very last second
This guy's excitement and knowledge was captivating, I wish teachers taught like this. It's always so much more interesting when it is clear the person explaining something is passionate about it.
My immunology professor was like this. Extremely easy to listen to, he boiled down intense subjects and contents to a neat few sentences. Used a lot of analogies that I would use on the written exams. The only thing I would change about his teaching is eye contact. He’s not good with eye contact. He often times looks up towards the back of the hall, or.. seeming to look off towards the “horizon”. But I chalk that up to his brain movin at a mph mine hasn’t reached quite yet!
Ever since seeing him live in the eye of Harvey, keeping everyone updated in Texas, I have respected this man. Love seeing our Austin meteorologist getting his due credit!!
i’m in georgia so i wasn’t watching him live but i watched some of it afterwards and i was awestruck by how calm he was while also getting the urgency of the situation across. he’s great, y’all are lucky to have him!!!
The thing I still have trouble getting my head around is that tornadoes aren’t scaled based off their speed, size, or shape. It’s all based off the amount of damage they cause. Like you could have a wedge touch down in the middle of nowhere and do nothing. So it’s classified as EF1. But you get a rope to cause havoc in a town, and it goes up to EF3, 4, or 5. It just throws me off
Actually, Thai people (The Impossible based of the event in Thailand) had no idea what Tsunami was at all back then in 2004. Schools never taught us. We had no warning system until that tragic disaster happened. And it was true that many people went into the sea to see flopping fishes instead of going inside when the water went down. This is why education is really important.
That movie was a good one. I was whooping and hollering when the family was reunited in such enormous circumstances. So tragic. I pray my family never gets caught up in a natural disaster. I've been in a tornado when several came through my town in Indiana in 2001 but I never saw the funnel but debri was flying everywhere. It wiped out a lot of houses.
I think it's the same in Indonesia. There was, I think, some local wisdom about not going to the sea if it's retreating which is shared across all coastal area of Indonesia, but I think it was forgotten when the 2004 tsunami happened. They now re-teach that local wisdom to everyone living in coastal area, given our country is quite tsunami-prone
This man has 3 emmys and after watching this he deserves them all. His education in this was fantastic! I would love to see him break down all crazy weather phenomena in TV and movies, and even some common weather myths.
MAN i love hearing experts talk about why they love their field of interest their passion always manages to make it extremely fascinating even if its not a topic im personally super into Like the part where he said "the weather is something that can get a lot of people to actually look up" I'm like huh! Wow! I guess you're right i never thought about it like that!
Tsunami advice: If you see the tide retreating suddenly, you best start running for your life. Find sturdy, higher ground immediately. David is absolutely right here, do NOT let curiosity get the better of you - the only reason an ocean or sea’s tide retreats suddenly is because a tsunami is coming.
It still amazes me to see video of people standing where the ocean was. I would be terrified! That is just such a rare occurrence that it obviously portends something extremely destructive coming.
Unfortunately that is what happend in 2004. People went out on the sand banks when the ocean retreated not knowing what was coming.. It looked like a bomb had went off in the houses close to the beach and the debris and other "things" we encountered in the ocean miles off land was truly horrifying..
Growing up in Oklahoma I have always been incredibly fascinated by tornadoes. The craziest and most unsettling thing to me is how often that a house can be more or less turned to toothpicks, but there will be a bookshelf with not a single thing knocked over or one house is completely gone and the one next door just lost a few shingles.
In 2020 I was in SF during the California fires... The whole coast was lit up by one night of dry lightning. The smoke was so thick it blocked out the sun, turning the next "day" into 24 hours of dusk
i understand that he said we cannot stop tornados. but he also said everything needs to be just right for a tornado and if one thing is off it’ll go away. TIME TO BUILD A BIG FAN
@@kellylyons1038 While that is relatively ridiculous, a lot of scientific research has gone into doing something much like that, and as crazy as it sounds, some of that research is actually fairly promising. Increasing planetary albedo is a way to significantly cool the Earth's surface and atmosphere, so while it sounds crazy, if you could make enough really large mirrors that could actually show results. The problem with some of the methods we have used so far is that we tend to use chemicals that end up making the problem worse not better. Also with a large enough counter-rotationary force tornadoes can be forcibly dissipated. While building a fan large enough to do that would probably cost a few billion dollars, and just about need a dedicated power plant to run, I doubt it would be impossible. However considering how impossible it is to predict where tornadoes will pop up, how they move, and the fact that such a device would be hardly mobile if mobile at all means you would most likely have a few billion dollar paperweight at that point. So fun idea, could feasibly do the job, wouldn't be usable though.
He said they hurricanes can't operate with a cold core. What if we made some kind of device the lessens the ground temperature thus making the hurricane weaker.
@@dagdbot83 While that is an interesting idea, if we could do that in an affordable way global warming wouldn't be much of an issue. In fact reducing global warming would significantly reduce the number and power of hurricanes we observe, but unfortunately there is no easy, or cost effective solution to do this quickly.
That's true about hills and mountains not being immune to tornados. I lived in the bluffs of Wisconsin, and everyone always talked about how southern Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa were prone to the twisters because they were flat. Until we had a tornado tear through our hills. Interesting enough, it seemed like it followed the valley in the bluffs like a spinner that got stuck in a groove. Don't know if that was just a coincidence or if there was something to that, ie. maybe the air rising off the sides of the hills kept the tornado focused in the center of the valley? Tell you what though, it's unnerving moving to the west coast where there are no basements, even if there are slim to no tornados out here.
I was in the eye of a hurricane once. Lived on Long Island when Gloria hit. We all walked outside to see the damage the hurricane had done. You could literally see the clouds in a circle around us. Then the wind started to pick up and my parents grabbed us and brought us back inside.
Experienced the same. It was windy and raining then suddenly it stopped for 30 mins and the sun came out. I went back inside after the wind started to pick up.
Omg someone make this guy a professor. Did you see how passionately he was explaining stuff? I bet he loves his job. He taught me more than what you geography teacher could in 6+ years. Education would be so much more fun if teachers actually taught this passionately.
I just graduated with my Master’s in Geography. I was so fortunate to have great professors throughout, I live for this stuff! But I will say I didn’t know jack about it other than maps before I went to undergrad
I recall a "fog" of smoke in New Mexico when I stepped outside during that Arizona wild fire. It was... Neither me nor my co-workers carried any illusion that death wasn't in that smoke... A sobering experience of many I've encountered throughout my life.
As a Texan, I can relate to "Day after tomorrow" The only place that gets Icestorms, snow storms, Hurricanes, Blizzards, Tornados, Flooding, Dust storms, Wild Fire and Earthquakes all in One year
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma disagree. I'm in MO and I've seen all of those in the same year several times. In May a few years back we had a blizzard in the morning (14 inches of snow in 2-3 hours) and 74 degrees by 3 in the afternoon. And no, not direct hurricanes, but spin off storms and subsequent tornadoes and flooding.
He’s our local weather man, and it’s very apparent to us that he’s balls deep into loving weather. It’s awesome cause really does go above and beyond to explain weather to us.
24:20 I've never met my new neighbour, but one night we were expecting a thunderstorm. It was completely silent, no rain or thunder. Then there was a single flash of lightning brighter then I had ever seen. Followed by 30 seconds of constant intense rumbling that physically shook the house. Then it went silent again. I walked out front and my neighbour came outside at the same time. Neither of us had ever seen, heard or felt something like that before. That's how I met my neighbour.
31:40 My dad was on the beach in Thailand when this tsunami occurred. At one point we snuck into a movie which ended up being this one, it was major PTSD. Literally this specific scene I remember so clearly.
That particular night on Everest was an anomaly for lots of reasons. The air-pressue dropped so low that it was like "space had descended to meet the earth". RIP Rob and Andy and all the others who died on Everest that fateful longest day in 1996 and Kia Kaha to the survivors.
@@James-dj8rt Still not an anomaly. The avalanches on 2014 and 2015 both have more casualties than the 1996 event. And the disasters on 1970 and 1974 also have comparable casualties.
@@commenter4898 Billy wasn't saying it was an anomaly because of the deaths. it was an anomaly because of the specific conditions. You know, the air pressure dropping so low. The talk of casualties was separate.
If two tornadoes are rotating in the same direction and they approach each other, then their meeting points will be travelling in OPPOSITE directions and, unless one is much bigger or stronger than the other, it will likely cause both to either veer away, or dissipate. If one IS much bigger it will lose some of its intensity as it dissipates the second, but it MAY continue on, nobody knows for certain. PS A Tornado's CATEGORY can ONLY be determined AFTER A TORNADO HAS PASSED, as the category is based on the damage inflicted on ground objects. So a tornado can't be classified while they're still in existance (Since they usually unly last less than 15 minutes)
I lost a friend to that tzunami in indonesien. Was heartbroken when i got the news, her father and bigger brother was the only ones to survive. And when that movie came out i lost it, the tears just started falling i cried for hours. Just remembering all the time we spent togheter with all our friend.
Especially together....(I know y'all probably tell.me that don't even makes sense so I will say it for you, so save your breathe....just wouldn't be surprised by a movie showing both together)

I was in a hurricane eye once, probably never will be again. Was able to just walk outside and talk with neighbors like nothing was going on, then a few minutes later it was back to the apocalypse. So surreal!
Ive seen that so many times that i cant even remember which hurricanes they were. I think Charlie was one and the one that hit central florida like 3 or 4 years ago were both like that for me. Matthew i think it was called? I grew up in foorida so ive been through a lot of them lol
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to someone talking about weather for this long, and not find it confusing and boring. I kind of wished he talked about what happened in 2012 the movie T^T.
You mean if this guy and the twenty person filming and editing crew you think schools should hire for every teacher to spend weeks filming and editing for every 40 minute lesson of every class? Sure, that sounds realistic...
@@pop5678eye Dude, I’m talking about the passion. I have had a history teacher just like this guy, he taught lessons in a fun and engaging way while explaining and breaking them down to make them easier to understand, while another history teacher would just hand you a book and tell you to read.
When I was child, I watched Twister movie and for some reason I was amazed by that and it motivated me to become a meteorologist. And thanks to Twister, I am a meteorologist now 😅
The growling of the rope tornado in Twister is hilarious & I love that movie it’s like in Jaws 2 when the shark roars. Dante’s Peak is literally Mt. St. Helens…You just described a hurricane best “The ring of terror” 100% accurate. Floridian here.

He is a scientists that likely speaks on weather to people who rely upon his accuracy and knowledge. Its A LOT more than "talk about weather" lol.

David is the chief meteorologist at KXAN TV in Austin, TX. He replaced a guy, Jim Spencer, who recently retired after a long and very distinguished career. David is absolutely the right man for that job. Very smart and a very good communicator.
He's fantastic.

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 😂
Educational? What class was it... how to make movies?
@@erikawilliams9558 the US educational system is not great 😂
"The Day After Tomorrow has been imprinted in my mind ever since I first saw it as an "educational film viewing" in 6th grade. " Whatever teacher chose to show that to 6th graders should be fired. It's doubly bad that it was ostensibly "educational".
Same, I remember watching this in 7th grade geography and history, a teacher showed us this on movie day, everyone else was probably a little shaken up but I was truly fascinated at the force of nature. Truly remarkable
I swear I watched that movie at school no less than four times. 😂
In my university, there's a class called Natural Disasters, I can't imagine how full that class would've been if this was the guy who taught it!
I’d totally take that class, I love meteorology so much
I wish my university offered this class. I’d sign up in a heartbeat.
I just finished Natural Disasters class at my college and it made this video so much more interesting knowing what I’ve learned about actually makes sense

He talks about tornadoes like they're animals and now I think they're adorable.
to be fair, they are probably the most beautiful thing to watch on this planet when its in the middle of a field or something

You know, how they say that if you can't explain it to a five year old- you can't really understand it yourself. This guy really knows his stuff. He kind of reminds me of my history teacher, who was so passionate about the subject, that it ignited love for it in her students. Now I'd like to learn more about meteorology. It's amazing.
Reminds me of my science teachers in high school especially my physical science he could have been like his family scientist his brother works for NASA as a rocket scientist but he decided to be a teacher but his convos was interesting though I occasionally thought he had mad scientist vibes when he talked about it he kinda looked mad though I would go talk to him about disaster movies and very interesting convos he gave
I love hearing people talk about things they're passionate about. That never gets boring, even if you'd think it would be. Never thought I'd be *that* interested in the weather

I lived in Houston when Hurricane Ike hit back in September 2008. They eye actually went over the city, and we had about two hours of complete and utter stillness. It was as breath-taking as it was eerie.
Regarding "The Impossible", there was a kid at my school, about 2 years below me, who lost both his parents and brother in that disaster, I think they were in Sri Lanka. I have never seen the film, and I'm still not certain if that's out of respect or horror for what happened. I don't think I ever will watch the film though tbh, it really shook the whole school.

Being in the eye of a hurricane in so surreal feeling. Just looking up and seeing everything around you is insane. And it was crazy hearing him talk about it that way. When hurricane Laura hit, and the eye opened up, you could see people lined up looking at it
My mom was in the eye of a hurricane once! She said it was so surreal but my papa(grandpa) told her to get back inside because it was dangerous, and he was correct, cause according to my mum “ almost 2 minutes later the weather went insane “ makes me glad my papa knew what he was doing in that situation.
and in Florida, we go out and swim in our pools during the eye of the hurricane lol
I've been in the eye of 2 hurricanes and it is both beautiful and terrifying.
the most terrifying thing I learned is that if you’re in a terrible storm in the ocean, everything is dark
so that means you have no idea a monster wave is coming at you until the very last second
And add rain so heavy you can barely even see your bow untill it disappears
Watch Deadliest Catch. They go through that almost every season.

My immunology professor was like this. Extremely easy to listen to, he boiled down intense subjects and contents to a neat few sentences. Used a lot of analogies that I would use on the written exams.
The only thing I would change about his teaching is eye contact. He’s not good with eye contact. He often times looks up towards the back of the hall, or.. seeming to look off towards the “horizon”. But I chalk that up to his brain movin at a mph mine hasn’t reached quite yet!
Ever since seeing him live in the eye of Harvey, keeping everyone updated in Texas, I have respected this man. Love seeing our Austin meteorologist getting his due credit!!
Following David during Harvey was the best time
i’m in georgia so i wasn’t watching him live but i watched some of it afterwards and i was awestruck by how calm he was while also getting the urgency of the situation across. he’s great, y’all are lucky to have him!!!
How lucky was KXAN to have David and Jim Spencer at the same time?
The thing I still have trouble getting my head around is that tornadoes aren’t scaled based off their speed, size, or shape. It’s all based off the amount of damage they cause. Like you could have a wedge touch down in the middle of nowhere and do nothing. So it’s classified as EF1. But you get a rope to cause havoc in a town, and it goes up to EF3, 4, or 5. It just throws me off

Actually, Thai people (The Impossible based of the event in Thailand) had no idea what Tsunami was at all back then in 2004. Schools never taught us. We had no warning system until that tragic disaster happened. And it was true that many people went into the sea to see flopping fishes instead of going inside when the water went down. This is why education is really important.
oh, that's, sad
That movie was a good one. I was whooping and hollering when the family was reunited in such enormous circumstances. So tragic. I pray my family never gets caught up in a natural disaster. I've been in a tornado when several came through my town in Indiana in 2001 but I never saw the funnel but debri was flying everywhere. It wiped out a lot of houses.
That's so horrible :( They really should teach everyone
I think it's the same in Indonesia. There was, I think, some local wisdom about not going to the sea if it's retreating which is shared across all coastal area of Indonesia, but I think it was forgotten when the 2004 tsunami happened. They now re-teach that local wisdom to everyone living in coastal area, given our country is quite tsunami-prone
I don't think anyone was educated about tsunamis, plenty of westerners died doing the same thing .
This man has 3 emmys and after watching this he deserves them all. His education in this was fantastic! I would love to see him break down all crazy weather phenomena in TV and movies, and even some common weather myths.
He should definitely have his own show, he’s fantastic!
MAN i love hearing experts talk about why they love their field of interest their passion always manages to make it extremely fascinating even if its not a topic im personally super into
Like the part where he said "the weather is something that can get a lot of people to actually look up" I'm like huh! Wow! I guess you're right i never thought about it like that!
Tsunami advice: If you see the tide retreating suddenly, you best start running for your life. Find sturdy, higher ground immediately. David is absolutely right here, do NOT let curiosity get the better of you - the only reason an ocean or sea’s tide retreats suddenly is because a tsunami is coming.
It still amazes me to see video of people standing where the ocean was. I would be terrified! That is just such a rare occurrence that it obviously portends something extremely destructive coming.
Unfortunately that is what happend in 2004. People went out on the sand banks when the ocean retreated not knowing what was coming.. It looked like a bomb had went off in the houses close to the beach and the debris and other "things" we encountered in the ocean miles off land was truly horrifying..

Growing up in Oklahoma I have always been incredibly fascinated by tornadoes. The craziest and most unsettling thing to me is how often that a house can be more or less turned to toothpicks, but there will be a bookshelf with not a single thing knocked over or one house is completely gone and the one next door just lost a few shingles.
I went to Joplin Missouri after the big tornado there, and there was a church that got shredded, but the cross in front was fine.
@@ironstorm1690 Joplin was WILD after the tornado. I went months later and the devastation was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
In 2020 I was in SF during the California fires... The whole coast was lit up by one night of dry lightning. The smoke was so thick it blocked out the sun, turning the next "day" into 24 hours of dusk

I've been saying for years, too bad Austin is in Texas.
i understand that he said we cannot stop tornados. but he also said everything needs to be just right for a tornado and if one thing is off it’ll go away. TIME TO BUILD A BIG FAN
Like the giant mirror they used in Futurama to fight global warming?
@@kellylyons1038 While that is relatively ridiculous, a lot of scientific research has gone into doing something much like that, and as crazy as it sounds, some of that research is actually fairly promising. Increasing planetary albedo is a way to significantly cool the Earth's surface and atmosphere, so while it sounds crazy, if you could make enough really large mirrors that could actually show results. The problem with some of the methods we have used so far is that we tend to use chemicals that end up making the problem worse not better. Also with a large enough counter-rotationary force tornadoes can be forcibly dissipated. While building a fan large enough to do that would probably cost a few billion dollars, and just about need a dedicated power plant to run, I doubt it would be impossible. However considering how impossible it is to predict where tornadoes will pop up, how they move, and the fact that such a device would be hardly mobile if mobile at all means you would most likely have a few billion dollar paperweight at that point. So fun idea, could feasibly do the job, wouldn't be usable though.
Look up the BFF or big f'ing fan.
He said they hurricanes can't operate with a cold core. What if we made some kind of device the lessens the ground temperature thus making the hurricane weaker.
@@dagdbot83 While that is an interesting idea, if we could do that in an affordable way global warming wouldn't be much of an issue. In fact reducing global warming would significantly reduce the number and power of hurricanes we observe, but unfortunately there is no easy, or cost effective solution to do this quickly.
That's true about hills and mountains not being immune to tornados. I lived in the bluffs of Wisconsin, and everyone always talked about how southern Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa were prone to the twisters because they were flat. Until we had a tornado tear through our hills. Interesting enough, it seemed like it followed the valley in the bluffs like a spinner that got stuck in a groove. Don't know if that was just a coincidence or if there was something to that, ie. maybe the air rising off the sides of the hills kept the tornado focused in the center of the valley?
Tell you what though, it's unnerving moving to the west coast where there are no basements, even if there are slim to no tornados out here.
Mountains affect storms in different ways and since tornadoes need just the right conditions to forum and mountains affect that.
Only thing we worry about are the eathquakes out here lol
I live In the gulf coast and the reason we don’t have basements is because how close we are to sea level and because of floods

The way he described how 2 tornadoes interact when they are close sounded like he was talking about every relationship I ever had
If two tornadoes are rotating in the same direction and they approach each other, then their meeting points will be travelling in OPPOSITE directions and, unless one is much bigger or stronger than the other, it will likely cause both to either veer away, or dissipate. If one IS much bigger it will lose some of its intensity as it dissipates the second, but it MAY continue on, nobody knows for certain.
PS A Tornado's CATEGORY can ONLY be determined AFTER A TORNADO HAS PASSED, as the category is based on the damage inflicted on ground objects. So a tornado can't be classified while they're still in existance (Since they usually unly last less than 15 minutes)

@@adamsmasher9769 grew up in west palm beach, just only got the chance to be in the right place for one of them. Beautiful! Glad you got to see a few
This has to be the best one yet. The way he breaks everything down makes it so interesting. Such a great video and commentator!
Best understatement so far this year, "Driving in a Tornado is really distracting."
You know it’s just kinda inconvenient... I don’t advise it
@@hunt3308 emphasis on *”kinda”*
So stoked to see this guy is a beloved local weatherman for so many people
He’s so cool I’d watch him while getting ready for school
This guy made weather so much more interesting than I’ve ever heard before. Hope he does more of this 👍🏻
I’m so happy he did Dante’s Peak, MT Saint Helens always interested me and this movie was inspired by it
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to someone talking about weather for this long, and not find it confusing and boring. I kind of wished he talked about what happened in 2012 the movie T^T.
Same! But I think that was too much to break down 🤭
If only this guy was my science teacher. Honestly, I would probably actually enjoy science.
There’s not enough money in teaching to attract the best people, unless it’s a private school or College / university that’s hiring
You mean your geography teacher
If only other people were different, I could've been a better person.
Lul
You mean if this guy and the twenty person filming and editing crew you think schools should hire for every teacher to spend weeks filming and editing for every 40 minute lesson of every class? Sure, that sounds realistic...
@@pop5678eye Dude, I’m talking about the passion. I have had a history teacher just like this guy, he taught lessons in a fun and engaging way while explaining and breaking them down to make them easier to understand, while another history teacher would just hand you a book and tell you to read.
When I was child, I watched Twister movie and for some reason I was amazed by that and it motivated me to become a meteorologist.
And thanks to Twister, I am a meteorologist now 😅
@@lethargicstove2024 This man got his priorities straight
how awesome was that ending tho?? as a child i remember shouting "its working!?" with those lil spinny things
It was an awesome movie
Left foot red
I wish I had done that, but mine would've been archeology because of Indiana Jones. Instead I'm a dispatcher... Stay in school kids. Lol
The growling of the rope tornado in Twister is hilarious & I love that movie it’s like in Jaws 2 when the shark roars. Dante’s Peak is literally Mt. St. Helens…You just described a hurricane best “The ring of terror” 100% accurate. Floridian here.
I listened to a guy talk about weather for almost an hour and absolutely enjoyed it
This guy stays. You hear me GQ! He stays on the roster with weekly uploads. I have spoken.
I also wish this could be true, but he s a full time reporter, don't know how much free time he has
@@costistoiciu4863 Yes, weekday weatherman at KXAN in Austin, Texas.
When you're so smart that you ruin all the fun disaster movies and everyone loves you for it.
! 😭
Being a Meteorologist, or in my case, a Navy Aerographers Mate kinda ruins most weather related movies. Sometimes I really wish I didn't know what I know just so I could actually sit and enjoy these kind of movies.
@@blazedgamingkr Hooyah, Shipmate. Former EN3 myself. Thank you for your service!
@@TheLooterArmy thank you for yours as well.
@@blazedgamingkr I can imagine. I studied AP biology this year(for a highschool AP exam) and watching any virus movies or even walking on grass irl I start spewing biology facts unconsciously and how it works (or for movie sake if the information is correct) lol
The way he lit up when talking about Twister. What an iconic film.
