Hands down, this is the best Hurricane Channel I've ever seen

Dude's channel is called Max Velocity and it combines the best of all real time Hurricane info one can find. (I discovered him during Hurricane Helene.)

He has all the usual infrared radar, track projections, MB pressures, etc. that most weather channels give, but he adds so much more, all in one setting, providing a complete picture of the hurricane's effect:

-real time tornado warnings with web-cam look-ins of the tornados/debris
-risky pro & amateur storm chaser streams (instead of pro weather reporters standing in a foot of water bracing faux wind gusts)
-buoy readings and the pictures the buoy's take (One during Helene took a pic of a 22-ft wave)
-fatality updates in real-time
-real time power outage updates by county


He's worth a watch, if you are following the storm.

Me and my roommates did a drinking game for Hurricane Francine every time he mispronounced a Louisiana city name we drank. Elite storm coverage though. The storm chaser live cams are cool.

He goes live for pretty much any system that will produce tornadoes. Watched him earlier in the year with the tornadoes in the lake chuck/Lafayette/br area. Sometimes he’ll ‘warn’ storms before the official NWS warning.

You obviously missed Jeff "Jeffie Pants" Champagne covering hurricane Gustav.

You are like a hurricane.
There's calm in your eye.

I watch both him and Max Velocity. During tornado season, I'll leave one of them on during work since they'll stay live for hours. Good stuff

ETA: My only pet peeve with Max is how he butchers town names. He freely admits he's terrible at pronunciations, but sometimes he's not even in the ballpark.

Nice, subscribed. He seems much less annoying and arrogant than Ryan Hall who does similar coverage on youtube.

You mean Ryan? That's Ryan's thing, mispronouncing easily pronounceable town names.

Yeah I really enjoy him for his Tornado coverage. I watch him over Ryan Hall just my preference. He’s done a good job with hurricane coverage this year. He’s pretty dedicated and will stream quite a bit if there’s something weather related going on.
