It’s hard to believe how people don’t listen when they are told to evacuate or stay inside! Not only are they driving but they are also walking and running around with metal flying around,water rising, boats homes and docks being washed away!! What happened to brains!!!
I survived Michael a few years ago. Trees and powerlines were down everywhere, a couple of my windows were blown out, and the neighbor's 20 foot tall boat barn from down the street flew and crashed into a corner of my house. Idalia was a Cat 4, almost as strong as Michael. WTF are people doing driving and walking around?! If you get hit by debris, you're either going to the hospital or the morgue... and there are NO emergency services while the storm is blowing. Stupid people.
Michael was bad. I was on vacation when it hit and when we flew out, Tampa Bay was loosing water. We knew then it was a heavy rainmaker. When we flew back, the whole state was flooded. My husband spent 2 weeks towing flood damaged cars to the junk yard while I spent that time repairing broken windows, nursing my cat who was injured and clearing debris. Definitely a bad hurricane that affected the entire state.
That was horrifying. So glad you made it. That one came inland a long ways. I haven’t lived in Florida in a long time and although we loved it, I don’t miss this part of it. The ocean is breathtaking, absolutely beautiful but I respect it because of this very thing. Nature always wins.
1991 the perfect storm or no name storm washed our house out to sea, only foundation was left, Marshfield, Mass. beautiful spot right on the seawall, waves were coming over the roof while we were still there, beautiful green water running down the windows, awesome power.
It also flooded Steinhatchee. That storm originated in the Gulf of Mexico. I was scheduled to fly out that night from Miami and my flight was canceled cause of the intensity of the storm.
let me guess so you rebuilt on that foundation and had your house disappear again this year. Guess you are a hard learner huh? enjoy that running water down your windows while you have them though!!!
StormChasingVideo's has always been at the forefront in Hurricane footage.Thank you. We can see first hand the sorrow and agony these storms bring. Some people admire these storms but I curse them from deep within me. I curse there short lived lives for taking away our loved ones and ruining lives. They are beasts and consume in a moment what we have. We have to somehow move on.
Been through Frederick, Ivan, Katrina and several others. This doesn't even come close to the fury of those storms. And very happy for those folks that it wasn't.
The storm did exactly what was advertised. Record breaking storm surge all the way up the coast. There was never a worry of extreme wind damage. I live in Tampa Bay and I’ve never seen so much damage. Anyone near the coast lost everything.
Big ups to the cable tie holding the sign on the fence in that first clip. Whatever that cable tie is made of is what I want my bunker to be made out of when the inevitable zombie uprising occurs.
I dont live in a part of the world where this happens. It is mind boggling to watch. To see your home and all you own get destroyed is not something I can even imagine. The horror and despair has to be complete. There's nothing anyone can do about it either.
It's not as bad as it looks... we got a few days to prepare or leave unlike tornado ally or the earthquakes on the west coast or some of the wildfire areas... we're still blessed to live here
Excellent video and a stark reminder of why you don't stand outdoors taking photos. Those people taking pictures don't know how close they came to being sliced like a cucumber.
As kids in Michigan, dad said we were moving to Florida. My brother and I hatched a plan. As soon as we got there we would dig a big hole and create a shelter to hide in during hurricanes. Obviously we did not do that after all.
@@alfredofernandez6402 Exactly. We realized our error when we dug down a couple feet. In Miami, water is just below the surface. Didn't even need a hurricane to realize our mistake.
This really annoyed me. Having been through a huge 'blow', all those people driving around and running around taking photos was really upsetting. My family nearly died, most of us were injured, and we did all the right things. What irresponsible idiots.
@@bluenetmarketing So... I guess if one of those is getting injured and falls into a life or death situation because of its behaviour, emergency services have the "freedom" not to rescue him/her? It's called idiocracy. Welcome to the US.
@@bengagnon2894It is not unusual in any country for conditions to be too dangerous for rescuers and for a rescue to be declined until conditions become safe enough for rescue. But you already knew that, didn't you?
I feel for you guys. I live in Louisiana and lost my home, and everything twice and restarted. I know firsthand about how bad it can get. I will be praying for Florida and especially the people.
I grew up in Pinellas County. Lived on Park Street in Pinellas Park. On Treasure Island facing St Pete Beach (lost the back of our house to Hurricane Donna) and in Seminole. I never live in an area subject to flooding.
Remember , not everyone has the means and financial stability to move out of flooded zones in time for a storm, always have to remember that, I have wealthy clients that always make sure they are not around in florida when a hurricane hits and when it comes to trying to survive a storm surge they are the lucky ones ..
Thanks to the storm chasing guys for risking there life to get great footage of the hurricane I hope you guys stay safe and I hope your family and your house made it through the hurricane.
as bad as this storm was, the no name storm of the century back in 1993 makes this one look like a spring shower, the weather service announced there was a system of low pressure in the gulf, nothing indicating the true nature of what was going to happen overnight in steinhatchee and surrounding coastal areas, i remember that the storm surge was recorded traveling 13 miles inland from the coast, i was one of the lucky ones who made it to the highest ground before flooding made travel by car/truck impossible, most of the local population was there huddled like ants, watching the surge consume all of low lying ground surrounding us, when the sun started coming up, all you could see was the very top of the gas station (bp i believe) poking out of the sea, water surrounded us 360 degrees, right after the floods had subsided enough to venture out in search friends and residents who never made it to this one patch of high ground, for most residences i checked, their mobile home was gone, their vehicles were either gone as well or some distance away completely ruined, and the people who lived there were gone without a trace, it was apocalyptic to say the least, i have no idea how many people went to sleep or stayed up and helplessly watched the surge rise not knowing this was coming, and were swept out to sea, there were all kings of boats scattered across dixie and taylor counties that broke their moorings and ended up in tree tops and farm land that were there for years after ward, i am certain that nothing close to the reality as to what really happened was ever published in the news, an event i could never forget,
Those weren’t 100 mph. The real high winds are at the eye wall. Those were probably 60ish. With gust over that some. Still, it went north of us, we were the bullseye early on. We ended up with 40-50 mph wind, but the surge was the real monster. It won’t be down for days.
As a survivor of three hurricanes (and the floods they brought) Frances Ivan and Fred just a couple years ago, this video makes me nauseous. How familiar and helpless it makes me feel.
@@cherylfields6270 those were weak storms, one was pretty much a tropical storm.. I've been through around 8 hurricanes and numerous tropical storms with no side effects..
@@thedbcooperforum I have lived in Bay County since 1995. Opal was my first hurricane, flooded my home, went through every one in between that and Michael which I rode out in Panama City proper. I am glad that you were able to avoid ptsd from your experiences.
Editing tip: I use this and it works rather well. Video footage in editor. Separate the audio/video tracks. Create your time lapse video segment. Use a (Trimmed) segment of the real time audio for the time lapse video audio. If your time lapse is 60 seconds long; find a decent steady section of the audio to lay over the time lapse video. So the final product is time lapse video with real time audio.
We used to use that marina, years ago! Its a sureal to see it being flooded and torn apart! I hope the best for evryone who lives in Steinhatchee and the Big Bend area.
I think it is important to note that had the little white house at the beginning been raised on pillars just 2 - 3 feet above ground level it would not have had flood damage. Something to think about in flood prone places.
It helps when people can afford to raise the homes up a couple feet.. Of course as soon as they do that another storm will come through with a four foot storm surge. 🙄
The first 2:46 minutes - the single nail holding on for dear life and it's beware of dog sign - never once wavering in even the most fiercest of winds.
It would be nice to know how long it took from the start and the end time of the surge rushing in, since the time lapse was speed up. Can you edit and put that in the description?
It tickles me when folks fast forward their videos and makes it look like people are walking super fast. But how sad it is that the storm didn't take long to destroy everything in its path
National Weather Service has issued light rain for the viewing area . Those gardens should thrive now ! Oh , wind gusts 150mph So watch out for flying Buildings
Nice TL showing storm surge...wife & I live on St Simons Island Ga, we had a good blow with around 3" of rain. But nothing like what you guys got hit with...peace brother 😎
Did those people wait too long to get their autos out or are they just reckless? Golf carts can pretty easily be blown away in that kind of wind..this I know from experience. Thx for posting..all those in path get my sympathy. Cleanup and rebuild is a long hard journey.
I know people driving around and walking around seems crazy, but to us it’s not. I’m born and raised in Florida. Most hurricanes, unless it’s a direct hit, I’m still having to drive to work and home. I honestly look forward to hurricanes because they’re so beautiful. Yes, sometimes people get hurt and their homes may get damaged, but there is beauty in all things. Watching the trees sway and feeling that intense wind is pretty calming to me. Plus, if you’re ever in FL go to the beach RIGHT before the storm it’s. It’s gorgeous chaos! Most places that flood are places that have flooded from previous hurricanes so it’s not too much of a surprise with how low the state is in comparisons to sea level. 😊 Edit: also maybe I’m crazy bc I love how the storm interrupts “business as usual”. It’s like a little break from civilization and the community comes together. Things get interesting for a bit and the feeling of my world changing is exciting. It’s nice before everything goes normal again and the community falls back into its routine.
I went and checked on these 2 sites after the hurricane left, the water had receded very quickly, and both buildings were standing there just fine. The exaggeration of this storm has become ridiculous.
It's amazing how many people don't listen and then they need rescue. HOSPITALS and SHELTER facilities don't have the support they're needing because of idiots. Rescue those people last.
Is it actually common to get enough of a fuel slick to support a fire during a hurricane? Am wondering if it's likely for sparks from debris like that to start a fire. Perhaps quite easily at a refinery or terminal, but they shut and lock everything down before any predicted flooding onside whatsoever. But loose fuels from homes, cars, garages, etc seems like it could theoretically pool enough in some places.
@@AppalachianPatriot I am in the middle of some serious warfare right now with a colony of common black ants that decided to make the space between my house proper and the conservatory extension. I already just want to burn the house down to deal with the problem. I guess if they were fire ants I'd just have to call in the airstrike.
It’s pretty crazy seeing that huge covered jetty float away and then see boat after boat after debris float past in the background. Can just imagine the matchsticks they’ve been turned into further up stream.
Surprised that we didn't see a Weather Channel crew faking how severe the storm is. Reminds me of a Tim Dorsey novel. Weatherman leaning into wind, commentator saying "how close to death were you?" As little old lady walks past in background leading a poodle.
It amazes me that so many people are out and about rather than sheltering in their homes or someplace safe. Also, why build roofs and buildings with sheet metal that might become lethal projectiles in a hurricane?
I wonder how this location did during Helene? I wonder how many watched this video and did not realize it's Idalia and not Helene? It's been bad lately for the Big Bend.
Looks like the storm lost a lot of strength before landfall. No way those winds are a Cat 3. Plus very little rain. The radar signatures showed the SE side of the storm open with no wraparound thunderstorms. Steinhatchee was on the strong side of the storm although landfall was further west below Perry which reportedly only got 85 mph winds. More likely a cat 1 at landfall.
The people driving around are either the guys who said: can you build this stuff super cheap and flimsy, no proper anchoring, foundation, support, materials, raised up to allow water to pass etc.?? Or they are the ones who built this junk and inspected it.
5:31 those sparks from the metal! Woah! This is so cool timelapsed. Hope everyone is okay down there.
It’s hard to believe how people don’t listen when they are told to evacuate or stay inside! Not only are they driving but they are also walking and running around with metal flying around,water rising, boats homes and docks being washed away!! What happened to brains!!!
You need to remember where this is. Being one or two cans short of a six pack is common down here.

Damn! Hearts and prayers for all the little animals 😢
Well that's one way to clean the garbage out of your yard. Hope everyone is safe.
I wonder how this location did during Helene? I wonder how many watched this video and did not realize it's Idalia and not Helene? It's been bad lately for the Big Bend.
The sky was lighting up last night with blown transformers and lines down. It was a crazy ride. So sorry for the folks along the coast.
How many hours is that time lapse over?
Looks like the storm lost a lot of strength before landfall. No way those winds are a Cat 3. Plus very little rain. The radar signatures showed the SE side of the storm open with no wraparound thunderstorms. Steinhatchee was on the strong side of the storm although landfall was further west below Perry which reportedly only got 85 mph winds. More likely a cat 1 at landfall.
WOW! I had an Uncle who used to live there right on the river.
The people driving around are either the guys who said: can you build this stuff super cheap and flimsy, no proper anchoring, foundation, support, materials, raised up to allow water to pass etc.?? Or they are the ones who built this junk and inspected it.
Yep. You live in hurricane country, you know this can happen. All in all it could have been worse.
also at around the 2:50 mark you can see a small snip up in the water look at the water sprey.
Been to that tackle shop and restaurant multiple times. Cannot believe that’s happening
How’d they keep the camera so still?
How far from the coast is this?
Good thing there were no people out there taking pictures when that roof came off.
The cost of living in paradise
Welcome to Florida!
I hope that person at the end wasn't trying to commit insurance fraud... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
def doesn't look like 130 mph winds
Brutal.
A Benny Hill music soundtrack would be great for this vid!
