I love how this meteorologist speaks to the public. As if he were one of us. THANK YOU.

Been in Florida for 30 years, living 2 miles off the west coast north of Tampa. This is bad, but we'll survive it. Don't be stupid. Evacuate now if you are close to the coast. Been there a few times

Praying for all of you in Florida, stay safe.

Born and raised on the west coast of Florida. In my 42 years this hurricane is the one that's got me the most nervous. Normally it's like meh..... Just because it always seems to turn away from where I'm living but none of us are invincible and we need to be prepared. We've had plenty of time to get our affairs in order and find shelter

Please everyone if you have pets do not leave them behind. If you are unable to evacuate with them, then call your local rescue or shelter! God bless you all!!

Prayers for everyone in Florida .. I am worried sick my son just moved to Tampa ... And this his first Hurricane

Feel bad for Cubans right now..

Sadly this isn’t just initiating new Floridians but seasoned and lifelong Floridians have never seen this magnitude of a storm . North port port Charlotte area here May Yahuah/God have mercy on us all

The rest of the country: "Prayers for Floridians". Floridians: "Do we have enough beer?"

❤sending prayers down south. I am in Lake Co. and my son is down there. Hope all stay safe. ❤

I've lived in Florida most of my life. I'd say we've been blessed many times that the hurricanes,either changed it's path,or weakened before it hit. My mom's house is a Jim Walter wood framed house that sits about 36 minutes away from Tampa. It's still standing. ** I've been praying for another miracle for Florida.🙏 ** My older sister lived in a house in Auburndale that was hit by hurricane Charles & hurricane Francis. It did damage to their roof & ripped up trees by the roots. She called me & said that they could hear transformers exploding down the street. ** I remember the fear that they described as hurricane Charlie was shaking their old house.. ** Things happen.. My sister & her husband didn't have money for upkeep & damages on their old house & it needed a complete remodel from electrical to plumbing,too much work for them to afford,so they sold their house & moved into trailers where they & their adult children are renting trailers in a park in Lakeland. My sister is very nervous about hurricane Ian because of going through the back to back hurricanes in their house & now they're all living in trailers in a park & she says they can't go to shelters because of pets & also she would need help getting up & down because she just had surgery on both of her knees.. ** I told her that I've been praying & that God is bigger than any storm.. Prayers for all in the path of hurricane Ian,especially my fellow Floridians.🙏💖🙌

The same way that hurricanes always impact the areas they hit. There will be tons of wind, rain, and flooding, with isolated tornadoes doing the worst damage inland. I've ridden out more of them than I ever wanted to,.. scary stuff. Hoping the best for everyone in Florida!!!

PRAYERS FOR WEST COAST OF FLORIDA…STAY SAFE 🙏❤️

Thank God they can predict these things nowadays and warn people . Prayers for everone going through this storm

Sarasota is where Pinecraft is located. A lot of Amish and Mennonite retire there. Here in Indiana many Amish work in the building trades. I predict that after the hurricane they will be heading south to help their relatives rebuild.

This man is a fantastic meteorologist

We need more meteorologist like you. Great presentation.

My fiancee and I are having our honeymoon at the first of the month in Clearwater. Looks like we'll be helping out, some. From a North Carolinian to the Floridians, stay safe, y'all.

It breaks my heart this has happened it felt like my home was flooded, I’m here in Orlando and didn’t leave. I felt somewhat safer here at least, however the damages done in other places makes my heart break! I’m going to do whatever I can do to help my state clean up. May God cover us in his name. ❤

I just hope us here in Georgia gets all the rain. We need it.

let us pray for florida be safe to all, thank you for your weather news channel

I live on the coast line and I got nowhere else to go looks lik I gotta ride this one out

Awesome update 👍 New subscriber 👍

Be safe Florida, God be with you

I live in Mobile Alabama. We are getting spared this time, I hope. Will be praying for Florida !! Make sure you have enough food, water, meds etc. for a couple of weeks.

The fact that my town Cape Coral is right now in the tail of the storm is a bit terrifying for me and others aswell. And I'm not as worried now because my home town Cape Coral is lowering the wiers of the canals in my area. That way the Strom surge wouldn't be as bad and will go into the canals instead.

I went to the store earlier and just start crying hysterically they didn't have what I needed for my family to get through this storm. They only had coors light left.

My friend Terry and his family are in Citrus County. I hope they decide to evacuate. Stay strong Florida!!!

Good job Dave!

We just got hit here in Nova Scotia with Hurricane Fiona and the winds on Halifax's bridge reached 150mph. This storm for the Maritime's has been devastating. Praying for you all in Florida. We are still without power and had to relocate that is how I'm able to be typing this now. Get a generator if you can; a camping cook stove-top, and enough food and water for more than 72 hours. They told us we would only need supplies for 72 hours but our power will be out more than a week it looks like. Stay safe y'all.

This was my worse nightmare… I kept telling my best friend that these close calls Florida keep missing, are leading up to a major hurricane one day. And a lot people won’t take it seriously. And she didn’t take me serious.

New Orlenean praying for Florida. Y’all can come over. Come on over.

Lord shaking up the whole 🌎🙏🙏🆗

Just reliving some moments I missed. I really didn’t fear this storm Bc every storm since Irma turned away from Florida & I thought “watch it take the panhandle track at the last moment” and apparently I was wrong…Really really wrong. Irma kept her wind strength & lost her rain in 2017. Ian moved at a snails pace and dropped rain and wind but more rain than anything.

3rd hurricane in a row where they tell Pinellas to evacuate to Orlando and it misses Pinellas and hits Orlando.

Great job predicting that path of that storm.

nice videos sir

U kno its bad when the weatherman says he's worried LOL

Cat 2? Well, ya missed that one!

It missed Tampa bay everyone was lucky there but sad to see it hit another part of state

I have this strong feeling this storm is going to swing back south west be careful everybody

Very good and have a nice day.

Hi from Virginia Beach!!⛱

Bradenton in the house🤙🏾 let’s stand strong guys💪🏽

Can someone talk about the time going up like X5

This makes me happy, praise God.

So many pretty colors ❤❤❤😊

I CHECKED 2 DIFFERENT SITES WHY AM I GETTING 12 TO 20 MPH WIND

this is a great weatherman, very logical

Ok are y’all gonna let us know what stores are open today or what

So beach on sunday is good

My family live in Tampa. Hope it is not as bad as you predict.

Everyone keeps talking about Ian. So it’s hard for me to find anything new forming in the tropics? Any new systems coming out of Africa headed towards the US? Or anything in the Gulf? Or at least any rain for Texas? I am asking as of late September 29th.

my prayers to florida and desantis for guidance and strength to keep the citizens safe and rebuild quickly ,, i pray that the media will not politicize this storm ,i am just stating facts

How come every few years we have a "Storm of the Century"?

I think the flooding will cause the most damage.... so it would be wise to evacuate that entire area ASAP Hope all in Florida find a safe place to go..

I’m just going to roll 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 up and stay indoors 😂😂😂

Looking forward to it jerry 😀

I’m 3 miles from treasure Island and Saint Pete Beach at 15 feet above sea level. We’re going to take a direct hit. I expect power will be out for 3 to 7 days, wish I had 25 gallon containers of gas to run the generator for a week

What about hudson fl

Getting ready here Clearwater to new port richey

When is high tide for Tampa?

Gonna be thousands of vehicles underwater

Lets see if it hops back to the Atlantic like I think it will.

Yall better get out out there

A lot of models are pointing south of Tampa

Prediction 💯 Puerto Rico

Come on baby, we need a change

I like to revisit this so even if they said it's going to be cat2 doesn't mean it will be

Im genuinely terrified now

Last thing for Desantis to deal with with Election Day fast approaching, Charlie must be like “so ur telling me there’s a chance!”

You have 3 days to evacuate. So don’t blame the government if something bad happens to those who refuse to heed the warning.

Bumble bee tuna...Bumble bee tuna.... allllllrighty then 😁

youv got it cutting into Florida to early.

Wow

Ok people of Central Florida it's time to get lit! 🍺

Dawg we woulda been in the eye if it hit. Lucky asf

RIP Homeowners Insurance.

Oh, come on! I would love to come back to Florida, but not like this!

Who's they?🤔

I dreamed 2weeks ago

It would be nice to see the accurate time frame for crying out loud, this is from 4:30 am. It's 1:37 pm. !!??

It's so perfect it looks man-made.

🌀🌊🏄

Good luck, especially now that all those half million dollar homes no longer have insurance policies.

I'm glad I'm in California, no hurricanes, but plenty of homeless.

Understand listening I'm sitting here in Clearwater Beach doing photos of a storm coming in all these new stations have a different scenario of what's going to come and where it's coming in reality not want to use have any idea what's coming or what category it is you have this what you call an intuition Maybe what's coming and where it's going to hit we will not know until it hits and where it hits you know get over to Spaghetti Bowl and I'll tell you what was coming it's not small so buckle down for the ride

Dave, Julie on ch 10 has much bigger coverage than you. Her forecast cones are huge compared to yours.

I’m in Tampa and I’m staying in my ocean front home I can care less

You guys all need to live in traditional built homes' not kits like they put up nowadays the difference is huge hurricanes will never destroy a traditional built home?? But wooden kits with only an outer shell built with 90cm thick concrete blocks/bricks compared to 240mm thick concrete walls in a traditional home so if youve ever to rebuild ask the developers to build it traditional. 👍🏼 Stay safe america God bless youz all. Ill be praying for you all' 👍🏼

Idk why but European models always seem to be more accurate... anyone know why? Or how is their system different than ours?

We're already saturated and flooded in Highlands county we have no room for any water whatsoever we're doomed

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

ian if you don’t move to pensacola rn

You kept stressing Tampa you had it so wrong but Ventusky was showing it hitting Ft Myers even when you kept saying Tampa. I chose to believe my satellite app instead.

I don't like hurricanes - went through Allen and Alicia in Texas and that was enough. What's almost worse are all of the damned tornadoes they spawn. Get in a safe place if you're in Florida - this one is gonna dump a lot of rain.

Random comment on how the world revolves around ME.

What’s for breakfast?

These developers have been cutting down all the forests ...

Welcome to Florida. 🤷🏻‍♂️
