Awesome extended version footage! I was just up the road in Humacao.

Another incredible documentation - thanks for working on these older storm videos and sharing them with us here!

Guys, awesome video, I have always wanted to see a longer version of your footage. Thank you for making this long version of your storm chase experience in Maria

What an absolutely INCREDIBLE intercept, Simon & Juston! MARIA was truly a monster. Those opening shots in Fajardo remind me of when I was prepping for the Hurricane HUGO chase in the same general area many years ago. It must have been quite the experience going through this eyewall in your vehicle?!? And how amazing to document a sub-930 mb pressure first-hand, definitely a rare occurrence!

Thanks, yes, incredible experience
