- iCyclone's Hurricane ODILE Chase: Footage from Cabo San Lucas as the violent cyclone smashed the city. Powerful winds destroyed our hotel lobby while we ran for cover.
The lights remaining on throughout this experience made it far less terrifying than it would've been in complete darkness.
hebneh they had backup generators
Imagine the strong winds, the darkness and been trapped in my room with my sick mom. That was my experience.
Oh fuk
@hebneh Yeah but it also could've been a bad thing because wiring being exposed due to outburst by a hurricane could lead to a fire. And that's NOT good for anyone of these guys trapped inside trying to find safety.
hebneh *next hurricane you’re in, you are trapped in a room with a bunch of people and you go to turn the lights off, everyone just stares at you and you say “it wasn’t terrifying enough”* lmao 😂
Blocking door using sofas...
Hurricane : Am i Joke to you??
Ted u sound stupid
@@huds8253 who's Ted?
@•Jayden• r/wooosh you really sound stupid
That happens when you build houses with cheap ass material lol.
Odile: Lmaoooooo watch this
*Tries to block the door*
Hurricane: *Hold my Beer*
Best hold my beer joke. 2019-infinity
No hold my debris and water
THEN THE HURRICANE BREAKS IT
Funny lol
Yeah but then the little glass table in front of the office door where Steve was filming from was like pffffftttt wassup bitches, this is nothing.
This is by far the best video of being in a cyclone..
Thanks so much, Farah! :) I appreciate that.
Farah hes got nerves of steel
عربية 🙄 مثلي
This is legit footage and I can appreciate that. I hope everyone in the hotel made it out safe.
At this point I welcome the power going out dealing with electricity
Hotel:exists
Hurricane:” I’m about to end this whole mans career”
Whole man... Nice
lmaooooo

“i need to find the camera man i hope hes safe”
the camera man calmly recording footage: 8:00
No biggie...as a few 100 pound slabs of the guy across the street go zipping by.
I love that they keep cutting back to him
I was there that night.... pretty much the scariest thing I have even been through in my life! This video really captured the moment.
I hear ya. I've been in many hurricanes, and this one was definitely one of the worst I've seen.
@Phoenix seek help
@Phoenix ouch 😣 sounds like John Q to me . There's ways around it I'm sure if not start embracing that ic number 💙
Not as scary as the people who didn’t have a place to stay or for people that didn’t have a stable home or the people with business who almost went into bankruptcy because of this hurricane. That was scary.
@Phoenix This isn't a contest.
It’s weird how a room can change in 10 minutes
Kaya
Ha ha, right??
Hurricane: rawr di

YOWIE WOWIE

If you do not open i will breathe in and then i will blow your house !!!!
This proves that even if you bar the doors you can't underestimate a Hurricane's power.
This somehow feels like something the actual Jonathan would say for some reason
Typhoons power?
i was in los cabos when that happened and was very scary
1919: ITS A TORNADO!!!! RRUUUNNN!!!!
2019: OMG GOTTA RECORD THIS!!!!

@@farrukh6 Well, a hurricane/cyclone is basically a HUUUUUGE tornado.
@@Lucas_Tulic yeah but no funnel at all.

Just to give you some insight on how good of a job you did; of everything I have seen on the net I have chosen your video as the example to demonstrate the dangers that can come with hurricanes from a firsthand perspective. This is for a new class I am developing. Great work ! Mr. C, Framingham MA.
Christopher Collins Wow, that is awesome. I am really honored-- thank you, Christopher! That's what I was trying to do-- really capture the wildness of the experience for someone watching at home. Very cool. :)

Linda Blair was taking notes on this one.
I personally would have been watching the eyes around the doors there, never know if a door is gonna smash and the strong wind will definitely blow it in the eyes before y can react
4:54 "a wild post it note appears!"
4:58 u mean btw lol
post it note: *S L A P*
RaNdomboi 2000 it's super effective!
lmfao
It just says "YOU'RE FUCKED IF YOU LEAVE ROOM"
6:10 “I hope those windows don’t go or it’s gonna be like a hurricane in here”
It will literally be that lol
I've been looking for your comment lol
baby hurricane
ive never thought that hurricanes could be that scary, until i watched this video. massive respect to the camera man, steve, who had the pure balls of steel to film that during the hurricane
they blocking the door like theres a zombie apocalypising theyre home XD
Well they didn't have to deal with flying door frames and glass from that direction did they?
A success then.
(I see the humour, don't worry, however they did to the right thing)
5:26 the strongest glass-table I'd never seen
I have never seen a hurricane to this Extreme this is more like a tornado this is violent OMG 🌬😱
Future storms will ripped your flesh from your bone due to very extremely emense pressure of supersonic wind wind of Category 20 hurricane/typhoon. Like an 1 million Tsar Bomba detonate on the entire country.
Xin Lian Zhou category 20? Wth are u on about?
This is what real hurricanes are like. This what gulf coast states deal with. And the Caribbean. It’s not like New England “superstorms” that stay well off the coast. Those aren’t hurricanes.
@@nicholasptersigni5124 you really out here gatekeeping hurricanes
U obviously haven't been thru a tornado lol cause that building or you would've be found for miles and thats was bad but imagine hurricane andrew cat 5 thats some shit
Holy smokes I have never seen winds so strong in this video
Hey, thanks for watching it, Blake! :)
Watch SUPER TYPHOON HAIYAN, HURRICANE MICHAEL AND MARIA
It's not wind! It is super high velocity atmosphere !!!
@@lovesilk1 bitch what do u call that
Have you seen the winds from hurricane Michael in 2018. See that and get back to me . I bet after seeing that one you'll change your mind I bet the farm that you will.
Absolutely incredible footage, guys! Been waiting months for this video! Never stop chasing!
Hey, thanks, Ryan! We really appreciate that. Glad you like it! :)
You got the first comment

Not gonna lie it looks like a tornado just blew though the lobby
Radioactive Hurricane or a hurricane taking to much steroids
07:00 El ruido que produce el viento no se me va a olvidar por el resto de mis días; estaba solo con mi mama en La Paz encerrados en la sala (la cocina era de techo de lámina galvanizada) y nada mas escuchábamos que se iba de 1 a 1 las láminas total se nos fueron 4, sabrá dios donde cayeron.
19 de Sept del 2019 tenemos al Huracán Lorena que se dirige a BCS habrá que estar prevenidos
Que miedo
Aniv Dela Rev yo estaba en cabo y las ventananas de mi casa se rompieron y nus tuvimos que salir con el vecino
Aca en Cabo San Lucas se escuchaba como si estuviera una turbina afuera de mi casa, estuvo muy cabron.
Ya me imagino el terror en serio, me considero afortunado ya que vivo en una zona sin huracánes pero suerto a los demás!
A mi me gustaría vivir uno (tal vez) pero algo lejos. Dónde vivo nunca va a ocurrir uno porque no hay mar, estamos como a 20k del mar o más.
Scariest part of the video was when they made it into that computer room and someone says...."the building is shaking!....sounds like it's coming apart!" WTF!!
Yeah, that was me talking, and yeah, it was scary. I thought we were dead.
I live in Los Cabos and Odile DESTROYED ALL we are all thinking HOW A HURRICANE DO THIS???
You wanna know what's more scairy? Experiencing a high-gust storm in a countryhouse, when you start to feel the whole house (3 story cottage) is rocking abit on it's foundation, like a bus with shot suspension, every time you hear that low-bass howl in the (steel) door seals..
6:45- “yea if we open it the ceilings gonna blow up” ..... that’s what I always love to hear when I am trying to escape a potential in-room hurricane and its the only available exit to (essentially) NOT DYING. 🙏🏼🙅🏻♀️ (lol but not really...) I cannot even imagine the pure horror and terrifying extreme flight instinct that it must have felt like in those moments!!!! Scary as hell. I am so grateful that this video exists and that they made it out safely- which is pretty much all anyone could ask for with that nightmare experience through Odille (aka- “Cabo’s new sleep paralysis demon) and her wrathful annihilation that occurred along her unforgiving path. I love Cabo so much (as my family has a home here) and it is really hard watching this video and knowing what lay ahead in the long aftermath 💔🇲🇽🌊🌫
the whole building should have been made of that hurricane resistant glass
I think it's plexiglas, pretty sure if it was glass, it'd have shattered.
Doesn’t matter what it is strong enough winds it’s coming out 😂😂
the thing is, we get hurricanes this strong every like 10 years tbh, Cabo is built for hot weather. Not for rain or storms, since we get little rain through out the year. I can assure you now almost everyone has learned from their mistake and completely protected their houses, business, etc. Traumatized, we learned from our mistake of thinking it wasn't going to arrive.
No the hole frikin world must be made out of hurricane resistant glass
Literally one of the best captures of a hurricane ive. Ever seen!
Thanks so much, Fred! I really appreciate it.
This is the most epic footage of a hurricane ive ever seen. Every hurricane ive survived was category 1-3 so ive never experienced anything like this.
Glad you made it through
+Nick Reale Hey, thanks, Nick! Glad you liked it so much! :) It was definitely one of the nastier ones I've been in.
I was there and survived (i live in los cabos now)
que video mas impresionante,una obra de arte en video,te hace sentir el miedo y la exitacion de sentirte en ese lugar,super excelente trabajo!!!
jose guadalupe martinez Muchas, muchas gracias, Jose!! :)
Yo estaba ahí carnalito, vaya que si dió miedo, soy de soy de la ciudad de los cabos, baja California sur
Al Chile si
Ya extrañamos otro así espero este año se haga
@Void Motion Chale bro, mis condolencias, ya van como 4 oh 5 años del suceso pero espero que te vaya bien, un saludo.
Me and my family live in Cabo San Lucas and we experienced that hurricane when I was 8. I just gotta say THAT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING NIGHT OF MY LIFE! But I’m thankful for the people who made it through it and I’m sorry for the people who lost everything because of it.
Color me shocked & awed. Became fascinated in a number of hurricane videos recently, & this is one of the top 5 that stand out to me so far.
Hey, thanks very much! 👊 Check out some of the other ones on my channel. Lots of wild stuff.
This clip gets better and better every time I watch it, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Dennis.
That was intense! Nice chase!
Thanks, Mike! Glad you liked it. :)
Oh wow, Mike, you're here?
Ah yes my childhood from 2012-2014
Fue algo horrible ese huracán! esa noche nadie durmió, Todos estuvimos atentos a todos los cambios.
Excelente trabajo
Bianey Torres Muchas gracias. :)
Bianey Torres jajaaj yo dormí como un bebe
Fernando Y 11 Yo tambien
Fue aterrador
Y nosotros estuvimos en el ojo
I would've been scared out of my mind but there is something about it that's kinda beautiful
Thanks, Erica! Hurricanes are beautiful in a strange, scary way. I think that's why I chase them.
Why am I really watching this WHILE I'M HERE in Cabo lmao
just avoid hurricane season and you're good tbh

@@bozo4347 no
What?
WOW! Stunningly visceral footage of what a powerful hurricane can do!!! Amazing job as always, Josh and Steve!!!
Thank you, Michael! I am so glad you dug it-- you are a connoisseur. ODILE really was a no-nonsense storm-- the real thing. I'm just glad we kept the cams rolling.
***** Thanks very much, Braetyn! Glad you liked it! :)
***** Awww, thanks! :) Well, there are some more cool videos on my channel. Probably the best is the Super Typhoon HAIYAN one-- it's pretty scary.
Oooohhh Dat cut is bad
My city was hit with a hurricane like that in 1970.
Wow. Thanks for the footage. Must have been flipping terrifying
I remember that day, i’m from Los Cabos and the news said that the hurricane wasn’t a risk, but they we’re wrong. I can understand the fear and even terror in the hotel.
In the houses, neighbourhoods....was worst, i remember the screams from the people in the house on front because the winds were so strong and fast that broke windows and even doors, a lot of the people died that night
I'm here 2019 and today August 30th
Still watching it
It was the worst experience of my life... I was alone in my apartment hiding in the bathroom with no power since 7:30 pm... While I was watching the video I started crying ... The power of nature... thank you very much for sharing what we live that night... a night that we will always remember.
caniperico You're very welcome. I've been in over 20 hurricanes, and this one was definitely one of the scariest-- even for me.
Camera man hunkered in the corner: "This is fine."
I remember going through this. I was in La Paz, (which is like 2 hours away) and it was chaotic to say the least. All the city billboards were completely bent and torn. The local OXXOs (kinda like Mexico's 7eleven) were destroyed. Somehow an entire steel kitchen sink got stuck in the tree next door. Windows shattered, cars got damaged, and even a piece of the frickin CEMENT BOARDWALK ripped off. It was crazy!
Holly fucking shit dude . Wow.
Omg I glad yall survived in the beginning that was scary I would've freaked out the hurricane looked so strong
By far the best found footage horror film I ever seen
Soy de la paz b.c.s y mire el video y recuerdo que no podía dormir ni nada por tanto ruido que hacía afuera, sentir eso fue la verdad intenso pero a la vez una trauma, recordar aquella noche será el día que jamás olvidaré y el día de la Independencia de México. 15 de septiembre.
Exactoo igual yo xD
Bitch please, yo soy de cabo y yo estuve en medio de el huracán ;_;
Ahahaha xD
soi de villahermosa ..tabasco...nosotros fuimos a san jose del cabo y la vdd todos los postes de luz abajo la gentr ya keria luuz....bueno nosotros llegamos ya q faltaba el 20℅ de red electrica ....pero la vdd sii estuvo feo lo q paso aora q segun va impactar otro huracann ojala no pase.....
***** jejejeje. obviamente mi amigo, con lo que paso esa noche nadie iba a poder dormir, mas que nada lo que todos queríamos era que terminara.
The tornado in Nashville hit my family’s house. It was destroyed within 10 seconds while we were inside asleep. We barely made it out and we are very lucky to be alive. The windows breaking scared the shit out of me and brought me back to the worst night of our lives 2 months ago. I also got injured during the tornado. Thank you for posting this, to show people what natural disasters are actually like.
3:50 Towel: *Blocking the camera*
Wind: I can take care of that
I laughed way too hard @ that comment
Definitely the best INDOOR cyclone footage I've seen.
Thanks, man! :)
Incredible footage as always! The scariest nighttime footage of a storm since hurricane Andrew. Is it right that Odile had a pressure gradient of 3mb per mile? That would be near Haiyan with 4mb. The southern eyewall in a tropical cyclone is always worst than the northern one. Really love this small and powerfull wind monsters!
Hey, thanks, arcane! I'll tell ya, it was scary being there. :) Yeah, based on my data and calculations, the gradient in that inner eyewall was approaching ~3 mb/n mi. It was pretty sick!
iCyclone I am sorry that your vaca is ruined
Braden Porter Nah his ideal vacation is in the eye wall of a category 5 hurricane; )
Gnarly man, just plain gnarly!!! I definitely learned NOT to stay anywhere on the first floor of a hotel, and FAR, FAR away from the lobby of any establishment. This was some great footage guys!
Wow, that was crazy. I would of shit my pants. I never been in a hurricane. That was great footage of what you poor people went through. I hope no one was killed or severely injured. Thank you for sharing!
3:51 i like how the lobby turns in to a wind tunnel lol
7:09
I kinda heard an *OOF* when the roof piece fell (I heard it because I have headphones)
I did too
Omg, best comment of the world
wow I heard it
WOW! Brings back memories of my apartment in Hurricane Wilma in Cancun. Total destruction! Same thing, you protect one side, then the eye comes and the worst is just ahead when the wind hits in opposite direction. No sleep! Great video and thanks for posting.
Thank you so much, Alejandro! One of my biggest regrets was missing WILMA in Cancun. I'm sure it was *very* intense! Thanks fore sharing your memories. Glad you liked my video. :)
I feel so sorry for the hotel owners who lost their property / livelihood. You’ve got to admire the tireless work of the hotel staff to keep their guests and property safe.
and its so weird the power was STILL ON
Majority of hotels have back up generators in case of power outage.
G. T. Right, my house didnt have power nor water for weeks, same for others
People: *attempt to block the front door*
Hurricane: time to bust through da back door
I still remember that night, that hurricane was truly terrifying.
Nunca en mi vida olvidaré el ruido que emitía el viento...
Dios!! Me dió pánico de ver esto hace dos semanas fuimos y no me imaginé nunca el desastre que esto ocasionó. Gracias por compartir. Saludos.
@Void Motion aaay lo siento mucho. Pobre de tu gatito. T mando un abrazo y ojalá estén reconstruyendo sus vidas, sus hogares muy pronto después de este desastre. Saludos.
I can’t imagine being in this situation I’ve been in a tornado my house shook like crazy. The tornado sounded like a train. And my dads car was in the garage and the alarm went off
That is among the coolest storm footage ever!
Please tell me somebody took that laptop off of the lobby desk.
Is that all you care about
Now imagine Jupiter with hurricane more than 10x of this magnitude
3:55
RIP LADDER
(look to the right)
YEET
( insert " E " meme )
That ladder said screw this im out
The ladder went 🏃♂️🌀
Moder nature at its best.. Some light funiture wont stop a hurricane wind
Even the heaviest could knock it down by nature. Future storms would be 1000mph enough to wreck steels and concretes. Like an atomic or nuclear bomb strength.
What furniture mother nature can even knock down a train or a whole skyscraper
Legit the best video of what it look like to be in a hurricane!!! Amazing. And kudos to the one who recorded it throughout
Thank you, Minahil! I appreciate it. There were two of us and we both did our best!
I just can't believe that that guy was still alive while in the lobby. that was outstanding!
Hey, thanks! All I can say is: we're glad we made it through the experience in one piece!
Exactly MY thoughts!
Some of those gusts were insane, tossing that ceiling tile like it was paper
Thank you for this amazing footage. Needless to say it was a huge risk, and I appreciate you taking it.
This dokuments are by far the best! As dramatic as the situation is ... very good work and above all not exaggerated.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
Hurricane Matthew prompted me to revisit our experience with Odile. We stayed at Cabo Azul Resort at San Jose del Cabo. The resort took pretty good care of us. Didn't have to evacuate or sit in the stair well all night. We holed up in a bedroom that had a tiny shuttered window. The 'master bedroom' was unusable-- slider caved in and there was wind, water and debris everywhere. Very loud and dark all night long. Water pouring through ceiling.
Next day found cellphone coverage in a 4x4 area in front of the hotel. We'd wait in line for our turn. Recharged our phone (which was used for light at night) in the refrigerator outlet which had generator power. Hotel was running out of water/food and there was looting. Several days later the resort sent a bus to take us to airport. . We waited in the sun (95 degrees & humidity) for 5 hours. Got a flight to Mexico City (on our way to Seattle!). A guy had cardiac arrest and died on the plane.
There was a Hilton in the airport. Escapees from Odile had a grand time in the bar!
For folks from the West Coast this had to be a real eye-opener as to jusy how powerful, & how dangerous these storms can be. Warnings are not given lightly, heed them from your local authorities, and when they say "GO" do it.
Glad you made it through OK! It sounds like you had a decent safe room.
You guys and like tornado chasers are some of the bravest people i know
Wow-- thanks, Andrew! :) To be totally honest, we were a *little* alarmed during this one. Just a little. ;)
or maybe some of the craziest...I mean, DAMN! :o
Like the hotel would blow away
Tries to block the door
Hurricane: im about to end this mans whole career
At the architecture firm I am working at, were designing a house there in Cabo with hurricane shutters. I see why they're needed now.
5:07 legend says that glass table is still here to this day (it dosent rip table)
1:20
When your Mom just mopped the floor and you try to run.
That hotel lobby thingy just turned into a wind tunnel
The wind is a haunting noise yet describes the true power of a hurricane.
Agreed! The freaky sound of a hurricane is one of the most memorable aspects!
Gracias por grabar todo. Son héroes.
This gave me anxiety. Lol but I still wanted to watch.
8:41 How was the camera holding on so tightly? What was it tied up to?
I think that was his cameraman steven holding on to the camera. you can see his legs at 6:00
@@madduxjohnson1338 Holy smokes I didn't even notice that.. I must've skipped that somehow. That's crazy!
Awesome video! I also enjoy how you actually take the time to respond to people's comments.
Hey, thanks, Zak! :)
The second phase of this hurricane is much more horrible when you look at the wind, it sucks everything!!!! Thank you for the video, hope you never get hurts again!
I've been in my share of hurricanes and small tornadoes but this tops all of them! Glad you guys made out okay! Tho the building didn't that much. I don't remember this one clearly so I'm going to research it cuz it's all way back in 2014 just a few months before my son died.
Now that's a hurricane and a halve!
This is one of the BEST hurricane videos I've ever watched! Hats off to those brave guys who filmed and risked their lives in that lobby as it was being torn to shreds! I don't understand how that window glass held back so much power. Yes, some shattered, but amazing that many held up. Also how did the power remain on during that?! Amazing!!!!!!!
"I need to find steve I hope he is okay."
Steve : 8:27
8:20 what is it?

Omg!! Scary but fascinating at the same time good job guys!!!! I'll be looking forward to more videos!!
Thank you very much, Maria! :) So glad you liked it. It was scary being there-- I'll admit!
Saludos desde cabo san Lucas bajá California Sur México 🇲🇽, aun se recuerdan esos días muy difíciles y tristes para mucha gente que perdió seres queridos y perdías materiales
Words can't describe how much I enjoyed this video, this is the reason why I respect mother earth and it's awesome power of wind (which I fear the most) I really thought that when you guys blocked the window with the furniture I thought that was going to do a little good job until shit got too real, maaaan.....talk about Mother Nature that plays no games with anybody when she gets on her bad side, I would like to say thank you for this video because this was one hell of a ride on max, thumbs up because this gave me anxiety while watching👍 :)
Im scared just watching this video
Increíble!! A quien se le ocurre no poner tormenteras con un huracán así??!!!
Seria el apocalipsis
Los cabos tenía años que no pegaba un huracán de esa magnitud y todos pero absolutamente todos! Se confiaron, recuerdo en los grupos de FB la gente se burlaba por las compras de pánico de los ciudadanos, desde entonces cada que se escucha huracán todos protegen su casa con lo que pueden
@@SCARx497 Asies, me traume con ese puto huracán, ahora viene otro Olaf y vamo a ver como le hacemos jiji
Amazing how that glass table at 10:00 is still on its place and not at all moving. What a strong table.

Wow! Just an awesome video of an awesome hurricane!
Thanks, Michael! :)

That hotel is?
Holiday Inn Express in Cabo San Lucas. (They're mentioned at the very end, on the thank-you screen.)
From what I read, that hotel you stayed at was a brand new hotel, just recently built. Now I thought new buildings located in hurricane regions were supposed to have shatter resistant windows. I just relocated to Fort Myers, Florida, and the apartment building I am in was easily built long before that hotel was built, and the windows in my apartment building are laminated glass.
triton115 Correct-- the hotel was brand-new and had just opened. I don't know the specifics of the building codes there, but there was heavy wind damage to buildings across the region. The good news is that the hotel has since been fixed up and has reopened. :)
+iCyclone Those sliding doors certainly were not built to hurricane codes at all!
I can't believe they didn't even bother to cover the windows with anything. I've lived in typhoon-prone areas, and there were metal brackets above and below all the windows, where you could insert thick wooden boards when necessary. It shouldn't cost that much to add this to a building.
+Steve Rogers I agree they should have, but keep in mind, this city hadn't had a severe hurricane in its modern history. People naturally prepare for what they think is possible. They didn't expect this because no living resident there had experienced anything like it there.
I was living next to La MEGA in SJ del cabo at the time, near the resorts. From what I remember, it was supposed to just be a pretty mean tropical storm until I lost power and had no idea how bad it was going to get.
I was trying to seal up a door when a window blew out (sounded like an explosion) sending huge shards of glass flying about 10 feet away from me. I holed up in a small bathroom for about 4 hours and had never seen anything like it. 120+ MPH winds are no joke so be careful and take early precaution even if the weather forecast does not expect such things.
I know I'm late watching this but I have to say everyone that I saw riding that hurricane I think your really BRAVE !
Thanks, Ben! Compliments are always appreciated-- even five years later. :)
amazing that im rediscovering this channel after 3 years
