I'm so pleased to hear you describe what could happen in Spanish...I don't understand a word, but I think it's marvelous that other people WILL. You might just be saving some lives.

Ma'am. You nailed it! You explained things so clearly. Keep up the great work! - Keep safe if your country is in the path.

How some people have a problems… As long the information help people in Cuba, I don’t see any reason to complain… Everything is about the Tropical Storm, that’s all… what’s going ? If she speaks 5 languages, it’s perfect….. The world with only one Language is the same like the world with only one color…

Yes!! I don't speak Spanish, but I love the inclusion and affirmation! Yes Meteorologist Kim!

Que linda gracias por hablar espanol gracias corazon saludos de houston😊

I enjoy her weather reporting!

Many of us in Florida also speak and understand Spanish, just because Hispanics are the (much loved) majority here. Sounds as normal as English to me.

Gracias por el español. Muy linda. Gracias.

Very impressed with your presentation. Good job!!

Add someone doing American Sign, and we are great!

So happy to see a bilingual news anchor!!!!! ❤

Instead of wasting your time watching fashion shows or comedy shows, you can invest that little time into digital currency market where every little of your time spent counts.

In 2004, Charley hit Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, making landfall on the southwest region with winds over 150 mph. Winds came down to Category 1 intensity but still carried gusts up to 105 mph in Orlando and 80 mph in Sanford; Ian is on same path.

Thank you all for watching and for your positive words. We will continue to keep you informed as the storms push through.

Love all the details! Great work, thank you!

If it gets into the Gulf it seeks the warmest water ..like fire seeks gasoline ..

Prayers 🙏 churches for all hurricanes or tropical in Jesus.

Very informative; thank you!

Mi amor si algún día ves este mensaje siempre recuerda que tú vales por dos ! 😁😁😍😍 orgulloso de ti créeme ! Junior

In case anyone is wondering the European model is more accurate than the American model and in 2004 a hurricane named Charlie went on the exact same path as Ian is right now on

Excellent description of what we may expect from Ian. Thank you 🙏

When we start getting attacked by spaghetti....9:59

Thank you so much for the update I appreciate it so much 🇯🇲🙏

It used to be that they would simply announce there would be bilingual translation for Spanish speakers, and they'd go right into the report. No longer explanation or apology for anyone foolish enough to get their feelings hurt or not understand why news would be given in another major language. Imagine how hurt they'd feel if someone had to explain / apologize for speaking English. (I'm Anglo, but that's how that disclaimer came across to me.) Over 1 in 8 people in Houston are Hispanic, given recent census figures (above 12.5%). In my neighborhood, Spanish and English are equally common, and I've found my rusty Spanish is too light on vocabulary and shakier on grammar than I'd thought. So vocabulary words any native adult speaker would know, even any kid, I'm often missing. This means talking with maintenance workers is a comedy of errors, as my broken Spanish is sometimes better than their broken English, while other people are truly, natively, bilingual (and I thought my Spanish was better than it is). Maybe I'm overreacting, but it felt like a disclaimer or apology, rather than the usual; older way of just saying, hey, we've got bilingual coverage in Spanish and English here for all our viewers. To me, that's plenty. If someone is too narrow-minded to deal with it being given in Spanish, then that's their problem. Most people would (should) understand and be glad their neighbors are getting the news in the languages most comfortable for them. (Yes, there are sizable other language populations here. At some point, being able to choose which one you prefer is best, but bilingual for a majority is good.) About 10 to 20 languages account for the vast majority of all speakers in the world. (A few of those 20 most common languages might be surprising.) With Houston and major cities in Florida being major airports or seaports, lots of different people, fluency just makes sense. The notice just struck me as unusual, so I reacted. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but maybe too, there's a valid pint. Anyway, I'm glad for the bilingual presentation. )

Way to go Kim... I love your "spanish" accent!👍

That's..muchas gracias

Thanks from the Cayman Islands 🇰🇾

Gracias!

WE LOVE KIM

Great job explaining Hurricane track and strength.

First, excellent explanations of the two models and possibilities and how a hurrican is structured. I think it will track on the American model path west of southern Florida far enough away so that Tampa Bay is not hit hard. Look out Pensacola.

Excellent reporter.

U guys r so much better than the whole news team at wctv Tallahassee maybe get rob and two others from there and hire them they have great personalities and would be an asset the others not so much🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Quick! Get out the Sharpie! Maybe we can send it to Mar A Large!

She's really good. Glad she is bilingual also. Shows much respect for everyone

Best wishes for our friends and neighbors in Florida, Puerto Rico, and elsewhere who will be / have been affected by Ian and Fiona. We hope the response will be much better than having paper towels thrown into the crowd.

Dayummmm i love when she speaks spanish

Excellent excellent 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent, as expected from this team. Truly a cut above.

What a beautiful Meteorologist ! 😃👀

Ian means God is gracious! We are seeing it in this storm.

How nice of her to broadcast in Spanish. Very thoughtful and considerate, and a very nice touch! 😊 With her professional skills, I’m sure that she is in high demand!

Very compact forecast

Excellent Coverage!

Great forecasting

My daughter lives in Tampa I hope they do t have to evacuate.

Grasias por la info en Español se le agradese un monton..

Hope it doesn't stall out and linger.....

Just an FYI - "towards Florida" includes the panhandle. Maybe you mean the peninsula vs the panhandle?

Waiting for a more shift to the west. Not wishing this hurricane on anyone.

A HUGE thanks for a great team from Alabama/FL border. So thorough!

Why is the black line drawn to the west of the middle of the spaghetti lines? Why not in middle? Euro is usually the best and their to the east? Why isn't your black line in the middle?

I UNDERSTAND SPANISH BUT TO SPEAK IT IM LOST LOL

As long as we pray 🙏 in faith and call on the name of Jesus, amen......... If we die ,we die in Jesus and the first resurrection for those in Jesus .

FAITHLESS or faithful but in warning it is from God to do what the warning is about to do.amen........

Gracias

Great video Kim, please explain why Ian drops from a 4 to a 2? Did you say "wind shear" will lessen it's impact? I hope it does not hit Mexico Beach which Hurricane Michael destroyed.

Is there a chance this storm can hit us

What I learned is the tropical storm is predicted between a bunch of spaghetti lines :). To draw these lines doesn't need school :)

Very good.

Tampa here 😱

I love your trajectory map, it looks like the spider webs that accumulate in the corners of my garage, why don’t you just say I don’t know where the eye will go

"Breath... in through the mouth out through the nose... repeat..."

Just tell us where it's going.

no no, this is all wrong, get a sharpie and draw that in to north carolina or maine or somewhere else, lol

That is so cool! I am so impressed about including Spanish in your forecast. Is that a normal thing you do?

nice she warned people ahead of time about speaking in multiple languages so that anyone 👀 on this sunday who's high as hell will know its not the weed.

From what i understand, this storm is intensifing late in the game Thunderstorms building as it moves So that is a indicater that cloud tops are still rising T-storms rise too . As we know Hurricanes move horrizontal and T-storms rise . My opinion west this system will unleash more noticeable Thunderstorms activity then an Average hurricane that has already Wraped Thunderstorms in center around 50, 60,000 feet.

Just love living in Tallahassee. XD

This shit won’t touch central Florida

Missing Tampa 😰

We could annex Cuba - just sayin!

Man, I'm so glad she's bilingual so Cuba can know. I'm not sure but Cuban news might speak Spanish too.,,,smh

Heading for MAGA country...... who did they piss off?

Our captivity is ending AHAYAH has redeemed Jacob

Only Jesus if it has to be done for rain or some other reason we don't understand but pray we stay safe and heed in warnings because warnings do come from God because of evil people and good people on this earth 🌍.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO RUN AWAY IT WILL A CATEGORY 5!! FIVE SO SO WEATHER FOKES NEED TO START SAYING NOW!!!!

Looks like they took a nap and sprayed white silly string on it

watch the storm track avoid crossing Cuba

She’s hot.

I’m going to make an observation here. The spaghetti models for Hurricane Ian about an hour ago. After they spend $100 Quadrillion Dollars on weather satellites, their ability to predict where these storms will go is NO better than it has ever been! I could have made this unprediction myself! That is all!

those fronts

Spanglish 😎👍 awesome. Multicasting.

😢

Down playing the danger to S Florida and timing is not consistent with many other forecasters

Don't hand this lady a football.

Miracles on the news Jesus of good to those in number in prayers of belief and power of Jesus and God 🙏. Amen in agreement , amen.........

Somebody is OBSESSED with this storm hitting Florida, its not going to...right into Honduras . Zanna Zanna 54 minutes ago

Y'all some scary cry babie. All you're gonna get is tree debris strong winds and flooding more than usual. Chill out

Looks like Alabama if it doesn't turn! Lot's of cotton in feilds still. There goes my ,,q tips! Dam.

Um you do know you can make a cone and say all in this cone?

I think it's going to blow Artemis I up to the moon.

Where's THE 🧆 MEATBALLS 🍝🚽

That lady needs a cheeseburger.

Lol im patiently awaiting the thirsty comments

Tận thế lúc 15 giờ zz

Sé pronuncia "a-bana" no cómo en Ingles "ha-vana"

With all due respect there are many latin channels to receive weather information in spanish.

Se ve que interesa más la hermosa mujer que el huracán.

Bunch of fear mongering
