      awesome stuff my man. i just left carriacou last week its still a mess at least we got some power food water and people are in good spirits but with alot of people with zero dollars to there name even with 10% off it doesn't do much. alot of people do need that help and someone to talk to. Shout out to you and the Guyanese troops for there dedication and hard work shout out to the island of Trinidad. For being under the UK for all these years and all the British artwork i would like to see them replaced cause such a rich country who lived of slave labor they have done absolutely nothing. again respect to you and the crew you guys deserve every award possible.

    I'm thankful that in the US Virgin Islands the government changed the building code after Hurricane Hugo in 89. You cannot use nails on your roof. It has to be screws and it has to be but so much inches apart. My house was been through cat 1,3 and 5 since being built and I have had no leaks or roofing issues during those storms including non one in my neighbor. These other Islands need to change and enforce building codes. Hurricane will not go away.

      Both screws and nails are needed in the roof and attic for the best durability. Because while nails can be pulled more easily from parallel force, screws can shear more easily than nails from perpendicular force.

    Possibly the best weather related journalism I’ve ever seen! The way you not only documented the destruction, but the emotions of the people around you, the way the community got together, and the help you were able to bring in was life altering for so many!
    I’ve been through a few hurricanes, never the eye, but that’s always been on vacations. The worst I’ve personally seen was 7 feet of snow in my hometown. Some roofs collapsed, some people died, but realistically, I’m lucky to live in an area that only has to deal with snow. We also have a really good community. My grandparent’s neighbors went out and got them bread and milk when they were unable to leave their house (all their family including ourselves still couldn’t even get out of our houses, they luckily hit less severely than us).

    I lived thru hurricane Hugo in 1989 and it was one of the most devastating storms of my life. I live 5.5 hours away from the NC coast and this storm was still so powerful when it hit it was total devastation of everything. Brick homes just gone. Entire forests were turned to dirt fields. We didn’t have power or water for 8 weeks even though they were bringing in power crews from all over the US. Millions of farm animals, wild animals and pets just gone forever.
    It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen yet in a way the most fantastic demonstration of nature I’ve ever seen. It changed me.

      Likewise. I was in 6th grade. We lived on John's Island, SC. We stayed inland 30 miles at a friend's home. It was a rough night. Weeks with no power. Days before we could get on the island. We moved to Florida that December. Now, I live in Fort Lauderdale, but the building codes here are designed to withstand these storms. Power lines are underground. I could never live in a frame built home again anywhere where a hurricane could make landfall.

Connecting to the local government and to the world with starlink, helping people reach loved ones to tell them they're okay, helping to get expedited relief. It's all just unreal.
    I'm not a religious person but you said that you two picked this storm a couple days out before it was really anything. You picked a spot knowing the roof was an issue, when the roof went you were calm and nothing serious happened. You two and honestly, many of those people were blessed.

      My neighbor stayed behind for Hurricane Ian, and he only had SMS service, somehow amazingly. So he texted me to relay any information to him if they were finally done with the hurricane. Ian was a slow roller and took twice the time to pass as usual compared to other hurricanes. I had to give him the bad news, that he was in the eye and the worst was yet to come with the high tide, surge, and back half of the storm. All while night was starting to fall with no power. Being in the eye of a Cat 5 must be one heck of an experience. Unfortunately power and internet was out for weeks so I was never able to grab the footage from my Nest cameras.

Glad to see you guys are ok man, spectacular footage my friend....just awesome....not many people can say they were in the eye of the storm....I have been through many hurricanes on my island St. Kitts up North but most were pretty weak, only Gat 5 hurricane Georges in 1998 as I can remember as a young boy the eye passed directly over St. Kitts and Nevis and did a lot of damage. 2017's monster Hurricane Irma with winds which peaked at 180 mph (285 km/h) had a direct projected path over St. Kitts and Nevis....people were scared....I remember meteorologist said on TV may the lord be with us....I long with my family put sand bags on my roof....luckily for us at the last moment the storm shifted a bit with the eye passing directly over St. Maarten....as you know it was total destruction over there....the the damage we got was nothing compared to over there...with the eye passing just 60 miles north of St. Kitts. i sub and i will be watching more of your videos, I am a aviation spotter from St. Kitts and Nevis...take care guys :) !!!

      ​@@JonathanPetramala Its decompressing and coping with a traumatic experience, when you able to rewatch things at some point without having these feelings you know you have overcome the overwhelming impact. I noticed this , when I was watching a very emotionally draining Tornado Live Chase , seeing the violent Tornado in Matador ,Tx went through the Town and knowing I cant do anything. Took me around 2 Weeks, to get over these emotions. Half a Year later , there was no bad emotion left I was able to watch it rational. In the Past its was even more overwhelming ,dealing with Days like Canton,tx or Dallas ,Rowlett seen both live on streams. Both Days came so unexpectedly I was not prepared for it. Over the Years I got used to seeing bad Tornados happen, I learned to deal with this differently. But these are events in the Chaser World, we all have to deal with and its hard to Cope with. The lost of Chaser Friends by Accidents , Leaving this World or being affected as person who cares for a affected person. Today I know about this mental effects on us and what it makes with me sometimes. But most of the Time I have learned to shut myself off from it to stay rational. But Carriacou was affecting me a bit too. Your Dramatic Experiences was nothing short of overwhelming , took me also some Days to Cope with. But I was sitting at home , I could get myself out of the Situation by turning of Social Media.
      Having some Nightmares and Flashback and emotional reactions or a few Days to Weeks is normal, it a Problem when its not going away. Its great you and Brandon are great Buds nobody could deal with this alone
      Stormchasing teached me dealing differently with my fears, some are legit and it ok having them. Other fears are just build up somewhere from people who told me all the time I cant do certain things and my World would fall apart. But I have become more brave over the Years. And the feeling overcome a fear and fining out it was never this bad or not even worth the worry is unbelievable. I have no longer fear a of Thunderstorms I freaking love them, but I will always have a dam respect of Lightning. I had a too close to comfort encounter over my head from a CC. And getting chased by a Thunderstorm to the Car was enough Adrenaline for Days. Since this Day I'm a bit more worried of Lightning in hearing range

    I was a kid in boca raton/port st lucie durong the 05/06 hurricane seasons. At one point we got hit by a cat 3 or 4 and we got the stadium. I remember being blown away at how beautiful and violent nature could be and as fucked up as it is I've loved every hurricane I've lived through. As an adult I don't evacuate anymore, because i know others can't, and I've experienced this so many times i know how to shelter and help the people around me who sometimes have never experienced a hurricane. I stockpile water in the lead up and i maintain a stuffed pantry of canned goods, rice that sort of shit, and several i buy several bags of charcoal before the storm. Just being able to clear paths and navigate flood zones is incredibly important in the hours and days after the storm. Weathering the storm is almost the easy part compared to the aftermath crisis

    I heard if you open opposing doors and windows during a hurricane it releases the pressure and prevents the roof from lifting. Maybe not guaranteed, but worth a shot. I am grateful you all are okay and many lives were spared. Keep looking up Carriacou, Mighty Yah has got you and will carry you through this. Yah bless you both abundantly also for your support during this. 🙏🏽🕊☝🏽

      That is actually a bad thing…it’s a myth. Opening windows can allow powerful winds and rain to enter your home, increasing the risk of damage. The best way to protect your home is to keep all windows and doors securely closed and to ensure that your roof is properly reinforced and anchored before a storm. I hope this helps, and I appreciate you watching!

      @@bestofmylovewhoahwhoah3239 Unfortunately a lot of myths persist...for instance in latin american countries many homes and businesses tape their windows, thinking it will help, it actually could create more dangerous shards of glass when the windows are broken. The only protection is plywood or better, storm shutters

    Thank you both for what you have done for the Government and people of the small Caribbean island of Carriacou, which was devastated by Hurricane Beryl. I watched some of the videos you put out the day of, and the following day. This one has some scenes that are new to me. You are just two awesome guys.

    Not even those at Discovery Channel dared to do so. This video made me understand that the worst thing is not the beginning of the hurricane but the end, if I'm not mistaken the winds change direction and whatever is left loose it ends up destroying it.

    So many people do not take warnings seriously we lived in a condo in Fl and for the life of me you could not encourage people to leave in time … no electricity- no water- no staff- no help yet they remain … and complain when they nearly lost their lives ….crazy making..
    Happy we left this craziness in 2021 never to look back
