I went to Alvin Samet's house 3-times and he gave me some neat photos for nothing. I've got tons of Alvin on audio tape from the 70s and 80s.

It seems like most gulf of mexico storms are either weak tropical storms or gigantic hurricanes

Good heavens this footage should have been edited down into about 60 seconds.

Ahhh... Gil Clark working at an AFOS terminal... the good ole days!!! He was one of my all time favorite hurricane specialists. I love how you mention Alvin Samet...besides being the voice of NOAA radio for so long, he used to sell me extra copies of old hurricane stills from the NHC library. Oh my, and Lixion's sitting in the background....lol. I'd give this a 10/10 if YouTube would let me!!!
