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.
