Viewers have been left hugely concerned for the star and his crew’s well-being as they battle the elements.
It’s not the first time that Marciano’s fans have expressed concern.
Last month, one Twitter user wrote to GMA: “My wife is growing concerned over the whereabouts of @RobMarciano. A simple like of this tweet will let us know he is okay.”
Marciano liked the tweet as he tried to reassure the concerned woman.
But, the show did not like, nor respond to the tweet.
Marciano’s appearances on GMA appeared to fluctuate throughout August.
Although he was present during the first week of August, he was absent the weekend of Sunday, August 14, and the following weekend of Saturday, August 20.
It prompted viewers to speculate about his whereabouts.

One viewer asked: “@RobMarciano are you coming back to GMA weekend? And daytime?
“Everyone has been asking, you could at least answer.”
A second viewer tweeted: “Ok @GMA I see what is happening. @RobMarciano is not coming back to the weekends. You are trying to find his replacement.
“So far, I don’t think you have found the next puzzle piece.”
“Hey Rob, are you coming back to weekend GMA? We miss you!” said another fan.
Sam Champion, Cheryl Scott, and others have filled in for Marciano before.
Viewers even feared that he had quit the morning program.
But, Marciano appeared to ease those concerns as his Twitter bio still mentions Good Morning America.
The meteorologist shared a compilation of snaps from his break in Oregon that he was on at the end of August.
The pictures and video showed Marciano in the forest with pals as he soaked up the best of the outdoors.
Marciano has also been reporting from the Portland area in recent months.
Last week, the meteorologist reported from storm-hit Bermuda which was lashed by heavy rains and winds.
Fans urged the presenter to “stay safe” while praising his coverage.
Marciano is currently in St Petersburg, Florida as Hurricane Ian threatens to make landfall.
He revealed that a helicopter nearly disrupted his broadcast as it took off just seconds before he was due to go live.
Tampa and St Petersburg could be hit directly by their first hurricane since 1921.
The storm is around 95 miles southwest of Naples and is expected to make landfall on Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned: “There will be catastrophic flooding and life-threatening storm surge on the Gulf Coast region.”
