  1. Andy!!! Thank you for looking up north to us in Indiana and also for going on far beyond us. You truly helped me calm down during this crazy outbreak, now we have winter back and I won't complain honestly. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. As exhausted as you were, right hand and arm painful, headache you pushed on to help all those people in America that needed your help, thanks to your channel you saved lives.

  3. What a marathon Andy! I watched your stream sporadically last night, and you did an excellent job as always. I always learn a little bit each time I watch you stream. Thx for all you do to keep people weather aware. ๐Ÿ‘

  4. Was in Hamilton NJ tonight on 4/1 at around 6:45pm. Rather suddenly, the skies became dark, low clouds, severe lightning and thunder. Tornado warning came through on my phone. I ran into a ShopRite and the store temporarily lost power- the hail on the metal roof was so loud! Truly an anxious event.

  5. Thank you SO much for your extended live coverage Andy! I was in the Chicago area (Aurora technically) and can't thank you enough for your heads up that sirens would activate due to the destructive 90mph winds. I was prepared, but still panicked watching the line come through and seeing some kinks in the line. Turns out there was a brief EF0 that touched down near me and lifted less than 5 minutes from my apartment. If it wasn't for your coverage I would've felt way more scared and less prepared. Thank you again for being there for us and I look forward to your coverage on Tuesday as it looks like a lot of areas including my own are in for something similar!

  6. 6:20:48 was for me, and many others that I knew. Iโ€™ve never heard of a โ€œblanket tornadoโ€ warning like that before, thatโ€™s quite scary but he was on par with the possible tornado rotations. One was confirmed north of Loves Park, just a tad. It was scary.

  7. I was in one of the late night areas (Murfreesboro TN) that was under warning during that night. You decided to open up a new stream since you were nearing the max time to record. Because of your willingness to stay on, you gave me ample time to decide whether I'd bunker down or vacate the area within a timely manner before the weather got too bad (I know driving during a tornado is the worst idea, but I left to stay with family further north in Nashville 45 minutes before the storm system even arrived). As soon as I sat down in my family's living room (approx. 40 minutes later), the local news issued a tornado warning in my county with large debris detected.

    I've always been a bit of a storm enthusiast, and since getting tornadoes is pretty commonplace in Tennessee I'm not shaken by twisters and warnings too easily (don't be scared, but be prepared). But I had a severe case of storm anxiety that entire day since the phrasing of these storms sounded so worrisome by all the meteorologist while I watched the system that hit Memphis make a straight path to my home. I am so grateful you were calm and collected in all of this and gave listeners who might've been affected by these storms sound advice.
