Thank you for your report! Seems like nobody else wants to check on Rockport. God bless and stay safe. That was a lovely new hotel. I feel for the employees and owner.
Btw, that wind is going to come out of the northwest, then west before south. Watch out for the side of the building. Wind is going to catch under those roofs.
It must feel like such an adventure to cover the hurricane as a TV journalist. Crazy, but exciting. Hopefully they get a chance to help people as well.
A friend told me that the guests of the Fairfield were taken to a shelter. However, she said that the mayor wouldn't allow rescues. KSAT tried to go to Fulton, but there were down powerlines!
Was that the manager? Whats his problem, why is he freaking out? Does he want you guys to stay? Be safe guys. Its not worth your life to tell us how bad storm is but it is greatly appreciated. God Bless..
How is a Cat V-rated building made of wood? The only hurricane-rated buildings I know of are concrete... These guys need to talk with their "architects"....
The owner of the Fairfield hotel LET EVERYONE STAY THERE OVERNIGHT, FREE, FOOD ETC. JUST SAID STAY INSIDE, DOWNSTAIRS & DON'T GO KEEP GOING OUTSIDE (for obvious reasons) - THAT IS WHAT YOUR OTHER REPORT SAID (re: DESCRIPTION "said the hotel was rated for a Hurricane Category 5, but there was damage when Harvey struck so the team had to evacuate.") Your description makes it sound like you got kicked out into 150 mph winds, yo?
My uncle was in a hotel in Refugio and last thing we heard was that the roof was coming off so everyone started going to their trucks BC they didn't have any choice. We haven't been able to get a hold of him since then:(
That whole town was leveled. The absolute worst thing that the owner could have done was kick people out. That was probably one of the safest places for them.
"Faith without works is dead" prayer is great, but please if you can, take action. If you can volunteer or donate please do. I have friends in the storm, I am praying they will be okay, but the moment I can I will go with group to help those in need.
Poor David Yeomans,...the other guy was loosing it....what a chaotic situation when u r trying to do ur job,..and like always the unexpected shows,...hope u guys r safe..
Can you tell me how long it took for the eye to pass over Rockport? I'm doing a case study of events at a shelter at the Live Oak Learning Center in Rockport (experiment.com/rockport-research). The NOAA weather station (rcpt2) wind readings fail just when the leading eyewall hit.
Hopefully it will clean Houston up. Houston has gone all third world since Hurricane Katrina people moved to it. So fucking glad I moved out of Houston. Used to be such a nice city. But that's what happens when we move out and other people move in.
Please donate to Red Cross! They help so many durìng the hurrìcanes and for recovery ìn the aftermath. Our hearts and prayers are wìth all of you. Much Love! God Bless!
Hmm ... "God told me that this is my ark." If anyone claims God's giving him special messages outside of the Bible, that's when you start walking quickly away. He's lost all credibility.
You just wait they gonna start to treat everyone like they did in Katrina.. Everybody is just a bunch of N.....!! When it comes to disasters it's the law of the jungle and your on your own..They are already treating us bad now..What you think they gonna do when you need help..

Holy shit!! I literally forgot I wasn't watching a movie there for a moment!! This is crazy.

Well not everyone is going to be safe unfortunately

"THIS IS THE MOST STRUCTURALLY SOUND BUILDING!" Apparently forgot the integrity of his 'structurally sound' building is entirely compromised.
The structure sure will make some sound when the wind comes back...
Praying for everyone in the storm!
"Don't worry I've got a helmet" "yeah... well I don't.." lol
👍🏼 good job camera man ......prayer is the most power thing in the world ... Hope u all will be ok
Get away from that guy ASAP!

One thing I want 2 know. Who is your cellphone Carrier?? I mean if u can live stream Durning a hurricane??
My uncle was in a hotel in Refugio and last thing we heard was that the roof was coming off so everyone started going to their trucks BC they didn't have any choice. We haven't been able to get a hold of him since then:(
J Cat wow
Guys, be at least one and a half times the length away. Not to mention wind carrying debris. You are right underneath debris falling on you.
God be with you guys
I wouldnt leave the hotel. Get to the middle like a tornado. To be honest where else can u go??? Might as well stay put.
The eye is safe but not really because eventually the eye moves
That's the problem with getting out during the eye of the storm . You can forget the wind will return minutes later .
or hours later in this case... remember the storm is moving at less than 10 miles per hour
ruth4489 yeah I would treat it like a tornado tbh 😂 get in the middle and protect myself with pillows and blankets

Glad I left. Bye Apartment!!!! Can't imagine you'll be there when I get back.

Pray for Texas. I will not argue. That's why they said evacuate and you choose to stay don't complain now
Ok but the man in the blue tshirt is beautiful
Poor guy is trying to make sure people get taken care of and fears what happened at Katrina!! He is just frantically trying to help people.
So these guys work for the media and no one was smart enough to turn the phone horizontal? Rookies now we get black bars..........
The damage from the hurricane is nothing compared to that of portrait mode
Obviously not cat 5 proof when a cat 4 busts it open. Stay safe all.
Lord Shaxx got his helmet sucked off by Harveys strong blow :)
Poor David Yeomans,...the other guy was loosing it....what a chaotic situation when u r trying to do ur job,..and like always the unexpected shows,...hope u guys r safe..
a spot light...finally...pray the wood frame building holds up

During that lull was the chance to get back up into those rooms to retrieve your equipment and belongings.
I'm staying put in a couple hours it's hitting Houston I'm ready for impact
Hopefully it will clean Houston up. Houston has gone all third world since Hurricane Katrina people moved to it. So fucking glad I moved out of Houston. Used to be such a nice city. But that's what happens when we move out and other people move in.
IF THE HOTEL OWNER WANTS EVERYONE OUT...CUZ OF LAWSUITS...WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE PUSH OUT...LAWSUITS...
Please donate to Red Cross! They help so many durìng the hurrìcanes and for recovery ìn the aftermath. Our hearts and prayers are wìth all of you. Much Love! God Bless!
GOOD MORNING.....FROM SOUTHERN CA.......ARE NOT PUBLIC BUILDINGS, HOTELS.......REQUIRED TO HAVE STORM SHELTERS?????????????????????????
Mind if I get a copy of this for my portfolio?
Tie up the crazy guy in the green shirt!! He has lost it!
FOR A CALIFORNIAN...THIS IS EXCELLANT COVERAGE.................
I bet it made the producer crazy that you guys recorded vertical and not horizontal. Rookie mistake
Good luck to you folks-
IM SO MAD HE RECORDED IN VERTICAL MODE!!!!
Bogyrect Dude, they haven't access to their equipment.
Umm building cat5 ok hmmm I would look into that
sad, pathetic that people only give a damn about each other during disasters
What's with the skinny film? Rookies.
Omg god I was just staring in the hotel 3 days ago
the man freaking out at 4:40 sounds a lil like jonah hill
OMG!!!!,.....=O
This is horrible....I hope these guys are O.K.,...Now!
i bet the alians r like wat on flargle smoot is that
Dasher Jammer this isnt a time to joke, but that was pretty funny heheh
The guy is comparing his structurally unstable building to an imaginary ark, what a nut.
Don't die

Um. Corpus is a college town. Best believe if they don't help us we will raise hell.
It's Texas I doubt it will end up like Katrina ^^
