Video on Cyclone/Hurricane Catarina is mostly done, gonna do a viewover with someone who knows more about tropical meteorology than I do, then it should be out in the next few days.

So There was something I forgot that I need to mention when I posted what I'm researching when it comes to the second Katrina video I'm working on.

The House of The Rising Sun.

There's an analogy to be made with the man allured there and the thing that ruins him is Mother Nature itself, given the version by the Animals came out a year before Hurricane Betsy, I feel like the song is worth bringing up.

BTW like 5 minutes of the Catarina video have been edited. It should be around 15-20 minutes long.

Hey everyone, I don't think there's going to be a Weekly Weather Review this Sunday due to a lack of events to cover and a lack of subject materials I can cover. (That I can do quickly anyways that aren't in the process of becoming videos)

There may be a chance, depending if yall want it or not, of me streaming Funnel Runners or Outbrk/Helicity on the main channel on Sunday instead. This is only if a good amount of yall want to see that happen.

I will spend this weekend on...ATTEMPTING to work on that Cyclone/Hurricane Catarina video. However at this point, given the length of the script, I'm really close to scrapping it due to my concerns of how short it is, and how it will likely bomb. But I'm so burnt out and so out of ideas for weather content that I may have to force myself to make it even if I won't like it.

I know I have been teasing that second Katrina video in that docu-series I promised last year, but that video is VERY MUCH in the early planning stages and I wouldn't expect it to come out until the end of the year or sometime next year.

I've been working on non-weather related videos, mainly my video on A Silent Voice, but I hope you all will look forward to that. I hope you all understand that this is the beginning of me trying to experiment with what content I can produce, and what content can do well on this channel outside of weather. Like I said, this will remain a mostly weather focused channel, but I would also like to do what I can to prevent burnout.

A TON OF CONTEXT, this is to establish what the city had been through already and why Katrina hit so hard for the city besides just the impact it brought.

All I'm going to say is that the second Katrina video I'm working on will be the most ambitious project in the history of the channel

It's more than a video on Katrina, it's a project about the story of New Orleans and how Katrina became one of, if not the defining moment in the city's history.

I'm doing what I did in the Haiyan video where I establish a ton of context to fully understand the impacts.

Today marks 18 years since Hurricane Ike battered the Texas coastline. Despite being a category 2 hurricane, it was a devastating storm that nobody could ever forget.

I made a video on it back in February, go check it out if you haven't already.

Hey yall, I swear I will begin working on the video on Hurricane Catarina tonight once temperatures get lower and I can record without sweating myself to death (I have to turn the AC off to record).

BUT I have equally been working my ass off today on preparing for tomorrow's stream. Tomorrow's Weekly Weather Review will be topical as we talk about the upcoming (And current) Super El Nino and what that means for the US. We will be talking about:

What is ENSO? What is the difference between El Niño and La Niña?
What are the effects of El Niño & La Niña on weather patterns?
What is different with this El Niño compared to past El Niños?
What is causing this El Niño to be so potent? 
What will the impacts be on the US? 
What can we infer based on previous El Niños?
What happens after this El Niño?
Why is this being hyped up? What sources should you rely on for updates regarding the El Niño?
Will Alferia finally get off his butt and make a video? (Answer: IDK)

We will also be talking about the tropics, and what to expect for the weather next week. I hope to see you all there, we will be going live with this tomorrow at 8pm EDT!

Hey yall,

As you know, tomorrow is Sunday, meaning the second livestream in the series known as The Weekly Weather Review happens tomorrow at 8:00pm EDT (OR 8:30pm EDT, I haven't decided yet).

In preparation for this stream, and for all streams, if you have any photos that you took of the weather in the last week, you can be featured in the stream. Simply send the weather photos/videos to me on discord (Username: Alferia) or to my Twitter/X (Username: Alferia_ ).

If you have photos of the following events this is what I am looking for specifically

Severe weather from the northeast US from the middle of the week
Tropical Storm Edouard damage photos
Grand Canyon Floods

BUT if you just have cool weather photos in general that you took from the past week, you can send those too. I'll make sure to give a shoutout with proper credit and whatnot.

Anyways, you all stay safe, and I'll see you all tomorrow evening/night!
