What if someone could predict exactly where a hurricane will strike — and claims to be right 90% of the time? :tornado:

Meet David Dilley, a Florida meteorologist behind Global Weather Oscillations, who charges $400 a year for ultra-specific hurricane forecasts. Unlike traditional services that estimate how many storms will form, Dilley’s system predicts where they’ll hit — within 100 miles.

He says his models called Hurricane Irma’s exact path in 2017 while others got it wrong. But critics call it pseudoscience. Now, his secretive forecast model might soon go mainstream, with a potential deal that could change how we prepare for hurricanes.

Is he the future of weather prediction... or just playing with the odds?

00:00What if someone could tell you exactly where the next hurricane will hit, but only if you
00:04paid for it?
00:06Meet David Dilley, a Florida-based meteorologist who claims to do just that.
00:11While mainstream scientists like those at Colorado State forecast the number of storms,
00:16Dilley goes further, predicting where they'll make landfall, within 100 miles.
00:21But there's a catch.
00:22His predictions cost $400 a year and he won't say more publicly.
00:27Why?
00:28He says it wouldn't be fair to his paying customers.
00:30Dilley says his models nailed Hurricane Irma's path in 2017, while others missed.
00:36He claims up to 90% accuracy and bases his forecast on what he calls climate pulse technology,
00:42a system using 150 years of weather and even planetary cycles.
00:47Critics call it pseudoscience.
00:49He calls it the future.
00:51Now, Dilley's company might be bought by a major forecast service, finally putting his
00:55secretive system in the spotlight.
00:57So, is he a genius ahead of his time, or just lucky with the storms?
01:02Any time, and the next hurricane will tell.
