iCyclone's Hurricane Harvey Chase: Terrifying footage from the violent inner core of Category-4 Harvey at "Ground Zero"-- the small Texas town of Rockport.
Wow. What a powerful video! Once again , you nailed it. Glad you were safe. I like how you don't add any music to your video and you try to remain quiet during the most extreme parts. Makes us feel like we are there , experiencing it alone!
Thank you so much for saying that-- because that's exactly what I try to do. I want the storm to "speak for itself"-- meaning I try not to over-narrate, react too much, or add dramatic music. (I'll admit sometimes it's hard not to react in the moment!) Anyhoo, thank you for noticing my stylistic choices. Glad you liked it. :)
Great video on Harvey Josh! I evacuated for this one. Its scary having a cat 4 hurricane just offshore from your home city.. The damage here was fairly bad but nothing compared to poor rockport or Houston...
Hey Josh, I saw you on Worlds deadliest weather and have been in awe of your work since. I really liked the parts were you spoke as they were really informative and gave us a really deep insight into what happened. Thanks dude.
Harvey was an example for the danger rapid intensification! A normal tropical storm into the Gulf can be more dangerous than a cat.5 far out of the ocean, if it has the right environment. Awesome footage as always. Thanks for your work and your first video since a long time!
I live in Corpus Christi and it was a scary experience to even go through that, I’m glad it didn’t hit as hard in my part of corpus but was so devastating to see what happened to rock port 😞
I live in Corpus Christi which is about an hour north from rockport. We still got pretty intense winds but corpus was well prepared. Couldn’t say the same about rockport tho. I went with my church to rockport to help clean up damage for a man the church knew. Mobile homes flipped over and even destroyed completely, an apartment complex was completely leveled, you name it. By far one of the biggest storms ever. Almost 2 years ago already. Boy time flies.
I remember Harvey like it was yesterday. Had to evacuate to Laredo, and we were lucky to come back to my house with only minor damage, but we lost power for a week. At the hotel we were at in Laredo, we were talking to a girl from Rockport just a few hours before landfall. Thinking of that still pains me to this day. The damage in Rockport, Port Aransas, Lamar, Holiday Beach, and Refugio was almost Katrina-like. Texas is a strong state and we’re lucky to have recovered quickly, people have said if Harvey hit any other state, the impact would have been much more devastating.
Fantastic footage josh I never seen Harvey did devastation in south Texas in rockport nobody had been hit by a category 4 storm in 12 years since Wilma in 2005.👍🌪😎
AWESOME really great videos josh morgerman I tell you hurricane Harvey is the storm I never seen before in my life just really great footage you have. My family members survived Hurricane Irma in fort Myers FL with no injuries at all I was lucky anyway good luck on your hurricane chaser processes.
Yet no one acknowledged that yet there were other towns almost as big as rockport and some people are saying that they haven’t had any help after Harvey which was a year ago but thanks for the footage
Great Footage Josh .So sad to see people's lives turned upside down by Harvey my eyes watered up at seeing the damage again . i live in Scotland I've been tracking Tropical cyclones for 2 years but i hoped i'd never see the day that a Major hurricane would smash Texas .quick question @ICyclone was Harvey the scariest chases you have had so far?
From looking at the radar loop and great video, Rockport was in the Very intense Northwest eyewall. Recently enhanced definition satellite loops have now identified smaller Very intense meso vortices rotating around the eye in intense hurricanes which probably accounts for the Cat. 4 damage.
The price for living along a Coastline could possibly be everything that you own . Just something to consider before buying that Beach Front Property ?
I feel like the eyewall was very different it seemed a lot stronger 113kt just like hurricane Laura in 2020 130kt seemed a lot stronger aswell for a category 4. I love your videos they are so interesting. Ps from Louie
What's up brother it's Travis I live in Fulton most of your footage was but obviously I was in George West when this hit I left earlier in the day came back the next day we've dodged it for so many seasons it was only time for we got smashed and we did thanks for the footage FYI there just built that Motel you were staying at on 35 and they had to rebuild it and I think the one across the street from you got it to
I still remember me a 7 year old kindly watching the news with my mom and then the t.v said there was a hurricane coming to Houston and I asked my mom what was a hurricane she did not tell me at first but she finally told me and I got super scared. And if the eye hit here in Houston that my perents are kind of poor we would be homeless so I am so thankful nothing happened
The eye 👁 of the storm ⛈ got there at 9pm and finished ✅ at 12am with 250km/h wind 💨 the first part of the video had 25km/h wind 💨 then it got up to 85km/h and the aftermath was 15km/h wind 💨
I was in Port Arthur we thought it turned so we did not leave but we were wrong we gots lots of rain then the pumps failed and left lots of water and it just sat there for nought 2 weeks but we were ok
@@juniorelectrician2005 That kind of wind damage happens in the intense ones. HARVEY weakened before it reached Houston, so it wasn't even a hurricane there-- just a tropical storm. But where it first came ashore (near Rockport), it was very, very strong.

iCyclone Are you going to do Hurricane Irma?
Travels & Chases i
An amazing intercept, as always!!! Incredible footage of what will go down as one of the most infamous storms in U.S. history!
Tropmet | Storm Chasing Harvey could have been more Awesome 😎 if it was shot by your HD Camera
Great video on Harvey Josh! I evacuated for this one. Its scary having a cat 4 hurricane just offshore from your home city.. The damage here was fairly bad but nothing compared to poor rockport or Houston...
Storm Chaser 75 what d
It was a good choice to evacuate Issac
I was sad when hread the news we had a condo it got destroyed
It only affected Corpus Christi and Rockport not Houston. The only damage done in Houston was flooding.
@@VictorMartinez-en8zr "the only damage done" LOL
"People are just very concerned"
*_drinks beer_*
most texan thing i’ve seen
I would definitely have a prayer on my lips and a cocktail in my hand. That's for sure!
why not ride it out drunk
Perfect footage ! Thanks for your hard work and awesome bravery!

The Hurricane Harvey Was In Houston And Texas Too
@@manuelcabrera117 Harvey made landfall in Rockport, TX where I was living and Josh was there in our precious little town.

U do a amazing job josh I'm in new Zealand we don't get hurricanes here u put yr life in danger its amazing what u do
Thank you so much, Marguerite. 🙂
I thought y’all got cyclones, or is that just Australia
@@md_randoms2429 Its the Pacific as well we normally get the cyclone remnants off shore.
I live in Corpus Christi and it was a scary experience to even go through that, I’m glad it didn’t hit as hard in my part of corpus but was so devastating to see what happened to rock port 😞
Harvey got pissed off at the stupid folks on Family Feud.
My mannn, 11 months ago- Your work doesn’t get old
The speed of that wind at 5:32 is unexplainably terrifying
Awesome footage! This is by far the best I've seen online, on RUclips! Thx ! & u got footage of the calm eye!

Josh, all I can say is that you have some balls!! Well done from sunny Queensland.

It’s actually scary tho if a tropical cyclone approaches at night because you can’t sleep because of the strong winds.
awesome Josh! The sound is amazing with a good pair of headphones. thankyou!
I love this! Thanks for making that video, Josh! Same for Hurricane Irma in Naples!
Wow! Excellent video, that was tremendously intense. The only thing I can compare it to that I've witnessed would be a strong tornado.
Crazy thing I remember about harvey. A street sign from Victoria, tx ended up in sea drift which was around 50 or so miles away lol !
@@miasmaker no Austin is further than that, atleast 200 if not more
@@miasmaker I lied, it's about 150 from port lavaca lol.
140mph Harvey category 4 🌀🌀⛈️😱
Fantastic footage josh I never seen Harvey did devastation in south Texas in rockport nobody had been hit by a category 4 storm in 12 years since Wilma in 2005.👍🌪😎
That must of been a scary night
It was
AWESOME really great videos josh morgerman I tell you hurricane Harvey is the storm I never seen before in my life just really great footage you have. My family members survived Hurricane Irma in fort Myers FL with no injuries at all I was lucky anyway good luck on your hurricane chaser processes.
When jim cantore shows up....
O Brasil está com vcs! #PrayForTexas
Yet no one acknowledged that yet there were other towns almost as big as rockport and some people are saying that they haven’t had any help after Harvey which was a year ago but thanks for the footage
Unbelievable the power of the wind! ! Great video
Some of the best footage I've seen some best wind capsules as well well done i cyclone keep it up.
OMG! This is amazing! I was referred here by Kevin Lu l Storm Chasing. I'm grateful to be able to see this. Thank you!
Great Footage Josh .So sad to see people's lives turned upside down by Harvey my eyes watered up at seeing the damage again . i live in Scotland I've been tracking Tropical cyclones for 2 years but i hoped i'd never see the day that a Major hurricane would smash Texas .quick question @ICyclone was Harvey the scariest chases you have had so far?
This amazing footage reminds me of Katrina, I was about 4 and living in New Orleans, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Thanks, man!
iCyclone no problem! Keep up the good work
Great footage as always!
From looking at the radar loop and great video, Rockport was in the Very intense Northwest eyewall. Recently enhanced definition satellite loops have now identified smaller Very intense meso vortices rotating around the eye in intense hurricanes which probably accounts for the Cat. 4 damage.
Bruh harvey was just like I'm alive and then practically died then came back to do this.
I swear this guy has cast iron balls to do this sort of stuff. As always, the best storm footage
That word Harvey actually stands for Steve Harvey😂😂
How did the power stay on through all of that?
The powerlines were _S T R O N K_
TDS Daniel Aren’t we gonna ignore the fact the power lines where I am are good too?
i went through not even a tropical storm and my power went out!🤣🤔
Jc Roblox Sounds interesting.
on storm i won’t forget we flodded
Harvey is a trooper. Mexico tried to kill it and it came back in the golf like a beast!!
I have a question, do you shoot the places that hit worst?
The price for living along a Coastline could possibly be everything that you own . Just something to consider before buying that Beach Front Property ?
Nice video Josh Hurricane Harvey is so strong.
My roof during hurricane Harvey: leaking, dripping water 💦
I'm surprised the trees were still intact
Actually rockport has a bunch of trees and like 30 to 40% of them were completely debarked.
Amazing footage!!!
Thanks Josh.
How the heck the electricity alive that long lol
Would be cool to see how quickly the storm starts up again right as the end of the eye passes. incredible video
Hope your okay you are so brave not even weather people could do that
Thank goodness this was (at least) just a Category 4.
Typhoon Cooper at least ? Fuck you
@@foreverorange2486 Man you are a dick. I want more hurricanes like Michael.
Typhoon Cooper go fuck yourself
Incredible footage. The only thing I would improve is the audio quality, other than that, good work!
How do you get good audio in a Hurricane?
Amazing work!
I am so sorry that happened 😯😯😯😯😦😦😦😦
Could the cloud seeding on Aug. 22 in Beeville caused the hurricane to intensify?
I feel like the eyewall was very different it seemed a lot stronger 113kt just like hurricane Laura in 2020 130kt seemed a lot stronger aswell for a category 4. I love your videos they are so interesting. Ps from Louie
Idk whats stronger Harvey or Laura ? I think Laura, but the damage look s similar
@@taylormatthews6086 Laura was 20mph stronger than Harvey but the wind gusts where oddly strong in harvey
Great video! But CRAZY HURRICANE!
Very interesting to see what they did you prepare at the walmart considering I’ve worked at walmart for 2 years.
Special thanks to hurricane Harvey for making this whole video possible. Lol
What's up brother it's Travis I live in Fulton most of your footage was but obviously I was in George West when this hit I left earlier in the day came back the next day we've dodged it for so many seasons it was only time for we got smashed and we did thanks for the footage FYI there just built that Motel you were staying at on 35 and they had to rebuild it and I think the one across the street from you got it to
many dumpy buildings not made very well.
Are you going down to TX to intercept Laura?
That was the fire alarms not crickets 😂but I love when hurricanes come I rode out Florence I rode out every hurricane to hit Wilmington NC
How do you get a ride out after the hurricanes?
I wondered the same thing about Maria in PR. How did he get out?
Didnt it flood there?
Holy shit! Pardon the language but this is INTENSE!!!
What was the central pressure?
940.8 mb.
the full video on storm chasing video?
I Wonder If You Did Irma In Florida?
I still remember this horrible hurricane I was at Houston so I did not expernce the worst but my house was like 3 inches from flooding
I still remember me a 7 year old kindly watching the news with my mom and then the t.v said there was a hurricane coming to Houston and I asked my mom what was a hurricane she did not tell me at first but she finally told me and I got super scared. And if the eye hit here in Houston that my perents are kind of poor we would be homeless so I am so thankful nothing happened
The backside had Winds of 130km/h
I live in Rockport Texas at
2316 Sth Bronte and my house was destroyed pretty much and it is cinder block
One of those videos where you can hear the difference between it and others, this on occasion sounded quite malevolent.
The winds looks solid and thick
Beginning: Music just casually playing in the back round as a hurricane is about to hit
Wow! You did a great job!
That’d have been nice if it were 10:52 AM. You’d have seen the eye in daylight w stadium effect.
I live in katy and Katy is right next to Houston but we only got hit by the edge of the hurricane
Absolutely incredible....
Wow 😯
Speechless...
The eye 👁 of the storm ⛈ got there at 9pm and finished ✅ at 12am with 250km/h wind 💨 the first part of the video had 25km/h wind 💨 then it got up to 85km/h and the aftermath was 15km/h wind 💨
0:48 Woah
I was in Port Arthur we thought it turned so we did not leave but we were wrong we gots lots of rain then the pumps failed and left lots of water and it just sat there for nought 2 weeks but we were ok
Hurricane asmr
That wind
Almost 3 years later I was in those winds with Laura
How does he hold the camera
How do palm trees survive if concrete buildings can’t?
Palm trees are designed by nature to survive extreme wind speeds.
I swear them Texas hurricanes be the worst lol
What about Mexico. They really get bad violent destructive hurricanes over there
hurricane Katrina been real quiet
Was all that caused the winds or did a tornado touch down??
No tornado. That is typical wind damage from a Cat-4 hurricane.
@@iCyclone Wow thats just impressive, I mean I remeber harvey from houston but no other hurricane I have seen has ripped a building like that.
@@juniorelectrician2005 That kind of wind damage happens in the intense ones. HARVEY weakened before it reached Houston, so it wasn't even a hurricane there-- just a tropical storm. But where it first came ashore (near Rockport), it was very, very strong.
@@iCyclone Yeah I houston it was all water not much wind, but I was still surprised by the amount of damage near Rockport
@@juniorelectrician2005 Yeah, it was intense!
Wow
HAHAHA I WAS IN THAT SH*T AND OMG I ALMOST DIED HAHAHAHAHA I love Texas
É assustador , causa muita destruição e morte, mas ... É fascinante
Harvey is category 4
I was affected by this storm in Harker Hights TX.
How?
Are they done repairing from Harvey yet 🤔
ninjaluke nope
