Thanks for making this video. I started getting interested in weather when I was 3 and lived in Michigan. I loved when it snowed. When I turned 4, my mom moved to Florida and I missed the snow. So when I went to visit my dad in Michigan over Winter Break, I started looking at weather forecasts to see if I would get lots of snow. From 1969 to around 1988, we would sometimes get a lot of snow like in 1976 and 1977, then sometimes none in 1981, 82, 83. Flying back and forth, I loved looking out the window at the weather from within and above the clouds. My dad bought me a Skilcraft Weather Kit when I was 12 and finally I went to Florida State for Meteorology. And I started working in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the NWS in 1989. It was a dream come true and the first time I had seen 4 seasons since I was 3 years old. I was lucky to see and forecast a record snowstorm in October 1989.
To be honest, I use to fear the weather. Especially when I was a young child, I would become instantly terrified hearing the weather warnings on the radio. But I came to realize that Maine hardly ever sees extreme weather like a tornado or hurricane as often as the south or east coast, so I'm currently eager to learn about/ study it.
i like learning about the weather bevause its so interesting and then i'll know on what to do when a tornado hits my house when we have little to no warning (if we don't have warning about a tornado we would see it near us) because idk on how we get severe weather alerts in the uk
I like weather very much. But I love severe weather, even tornadoes. Tornadoes are scary and dangerous, but at the same time, they are beautiful and exciting, because a few in parts of the country of USA and the world rarely get to see a tornado. A majority of tornadoes strike the Midwest called Tornado Alley. Indiana was where I was born and raised, that state is one of thr fee states in Tornado alley .
Hi Jason, I agree with you that good weather forecasting is very helpful (perhaps even vital) in many aspects of our lives. However I disagree with you that it needs to be done using government force. I believe that smart people like you can come up with creative ways to accomplish the same things without government force. Remember that taxes are taken by force (at gun-point if necessary). Your joke about budget hawks is funny, but federal spending is a very serious matter. Remember, we are nearly $20 trillion in debt, with over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. This debt is growing rapidly. The national debt has more than tripled in the last 17 years alone :-( I was glad to hear you mention the economy and feeding people. I would argue that our national debt is a far greater threat to these very important things than even devastating weather disasters. Please keep making your great videos! And please forgive my bad grammar :-)
I already know all of these reasons because the national weather service helps us with tornado warnings hurricane warnings severe thunderstorm watches a warnings flood warnings and severe flood and the worst flood flash flood
Satellites help, but they can only tell us so much. Weather balloons give a better picture of the entire atmosphere from the surface up to tops of the clouds.
NOAA and the national weather service are examples of government gone right. Well worth our tax dollar contributions.
Poll... Do you think $5 per person is bad for accurate weather forecasts?
Can you do a video on the Emergency Alert System?
I LOVE TRACKING HURRICANES! By the way was Hurricane Matthew a retiered hurricane name?
Matthew's retirement won't be decided until after the season.
FireyPlaiz no
Me too LOL
Matthew was retired and replaced with Martin.

In spencer we had tornado watch and a severe thunderstorm warning it was bad outside the wind blew at 90 miles per hour
I like learning about the weather because it fasanates me
NOAA And National weather service they do a good job giving the observations watches warning by hearing NOAA Weather Radio👍👍👍👍
We wouldn’t know when we should wear a jacket if NWS didn’t exist!
Also the NWS have the tools they have doppar radar and A Trasmiter tower that cost a lot of money for the government to have all those tools
do a video on what it looks like in a tornado

I want to be a tornado chaser when i go up!!!!!!!!!!!
Also I will be a Meteorologist in 6 years
Weather is interesting
I wanna be a meteorologist
Do a emergency Alert System for las vegas a thunderstorms warning

yes it did
Oh my goodness
Oh. No
So satellites wont help? only balloons?

+Storm Shield App This is cool lol also NWS do a good job
Oh yeah. Tornado
I a little bit knowing of tornados so what a about nuking tornados
Crystal beason you can't stop tornadoes. nuking it would just more damage than a certain tornado would along all the radiation left
i like the weather because a tornado almost hit my house
Isnt that like saying you like trains because one almost hit your car? :P lol
You like tornados
me is open google earth,and i realized that im see NOAA IN google earth.
How much did this stupid video cost?
Nothing to the taxpayer. Meteorologists actually like to do work on their own time, on their own computer, and in their own home.
