I recommend this page 100 times over. Being a Florida native who resides in Oklahoma ALL of my family is still in the sunshine state. When Irma was barreling towards Florida and tensions were so high this is the only page I depended on for accurate information.

This is the forecast I rely on. It is clear and scarily accurate, even many days out. I like the fact that you explain why as well as stating what the weather will be. And during the hurricane season, particularly after Irma, this site was very reassuring. Well done and keep up the good work.
