Watching in 1/2020
I was in Jackson, Alabama in that date ,in my 18 wheeler with a press that weighted 34,000 pounds.
I parked at a truck stop cause the rain, and I'm assuring you my truck was rocking like a hammock.
Finally when it was over higway 10 was closed.
Took a short cut thru Thomasville, and the destruction I filmed was unbelievable.
So here you guys are in the middle of it.
Amazing !!! The footage, the sounds,the surge, the debris.
Everything is hair rising!!!
Some of the most incredible hurricane footage ever filmed in the United States. The only videos of any storm I've seen that topped this were of Dorian in the Bahamas. Those winds after 30 minutes in are easily Category 5, just an utter whiteout.
This was 2018, there was no film involved.
@@Vector_Ze filmed meaning recorded
😊
I'll leave the category 4 or 5 debate to the professionals. But there is no other way to say it... This footage is absolutely incredible! How you can go from an empty parking lot to a 12 foot storm surge and vehicles floating by in a minute's time is just incomprehensible. Glad y'all made it out ok, and great work👍
Thanks, Matt! Greatly appreciated!!
I was just thinking the same thing! I mean one minute, the parking lot was empty and the next, the entire lot was underwater. That's insane!!!
Not just inundated... Houses floating by!
I believe it was the professionals that upgraded it to a category 5.
Amazing footage
Good film documentation. Having been in 11 hurricanes in my life the things I'll never forget is what you feel. Your ears sometimes pop, the wind drives a coldness into your bones, how the wind is relentless at trying to knock you off your feet and How painful the rain is, it stings real bad as the drops hit your skin.
I would leave after all that 😬
Wow! Amazing footage. Goodness gracious. Glad you all made it through safely. My daughter’s campus was impacted by Michael. She told me she thought she could ride it out. No, ma’am!! I drove six hours round trip and picked her up on her birthday, 10/9. She thanked me later. No need. Mama was coming to get her baby.
Wow. This is truly historic footage. Watching the storm surge (including that blue house) come in and go out and the winds change direction is amazing. You guys definitely picked the right spot!!! RESPECT.
Time stamp?
It's actually hard to fathom that this footage is even possible. Cat 5, eyewall, right front quadrant, OUTSIDE filming. It's almost like filming inside a tornado.
I lost my home to surge in MB during Michael. This is by far the best footage that I have seen to date of what happened. Thank you.
Hi Julia. So terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your home. Hoping you're able to rebuild, and the same for all the others in the same circumstance.
I'm typing this on Oct 13th 2020. Earlier tonight I ran across a video that was taken a few miles away from this one. I had made up my mind there was no possible way that anyone got closer or better footage and boy I was wrong. There was a higher power at play here. I highly doubt there will ever be anyone capture anything like this ever again without being killed in the proces. I hope yall got paid and won some awards for this!!
Look up Marsh Habor, Bahamas 2019.
What is a "higher power"? I thought that was a religious thing to say.

]!aaaaaaaaaaaaa
I’ve always admired your work, but this is sensational! Most videographers abandoned their footage for safety, which is VERY understandable. However, finding the perfect spot to continue footage is what gives people the true feeling of a cat 5; which helps by giving would be hurricane partyers pause from trying to stay through the one that hits their location. Good Job!
Thanks for the very thoughtful words. The owner of this channel has captured some truly amazing footage over the years. He, too, was in Mexico Beach and left right before the surge came barrelling in and subsequently captured (arguably) the most incredible view of a hurricanes eye from the ground.
I am most thankful to have been able to document the absolute peak winds and storm surge from hurricane Michael and survive unharmed! At its worst, I wasn't too sure I'd make it!!
@@extremeweathercoverage4683 wait...I thought he captured the video we're watching? When exactly did he leave if he captured this video?!
@@davidvaughn9 Hi David! The owner of this particular channel (Doug) left Mexico Beach just before the surge came barreling ashore and it’s his personal footage (contained in another video) showing that amazing capture of the eye. This specific footage is actually my own that I shared with Doug to post on his/this channel.
The difference between bravery and stupidity is said to the an obituary.
Stunning footage, and yes the reason I share things like this on places like facebook is to discourage careless, macho, childish behavior. Cat 4 or 5 and you're near the coast, get out!
The rain is legit sand blasting the concrete away. That storm surge was insain, to experience this in person up on that balcony must have be amazing in terms of watching mother nature but could you imagine 200 years ago? Everyone has wood huts and the day after the area looks like people never lived there. Incredible footage thanks for uploading it.
Absolutely some of the most intense tropical cyclone footage ever captured on video in the United States. Insane winds,
It's actually hard to fathom that this footage is even possible. Cat 5, eyewall, right front quadrant, OUTSIDE filming. It's almost like filming inside a tornado.
@@MoMoMyPup10 I hope another cat 5 hits the US soon so I can get some good video
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 wutth? Duude
@@mr.niceguy2337 Yes. I missed Michael live in Florida. Now I am not really a storm chaser but I should have gone to southeast Bay County. I just want another chance. Just hit Florida I dont care where. Avoid Texas and Louisiana. Too far. There is my explanation.
@@mr.niceguy2337Just so I can get a similar film as this not because I wish death. Believe it or not there were people who swam in this surge and survived!
Lord, this is so frightening! The guys filming are lucky to be alive to capture this awesome footage. 😱🌀
The ferocity of this storm is unspeakable.
@Edinb. Scotland i know I ruined it :(
@Edinb. Scotland now you must speak on it. I think there is no way to speak of it. How would you describe it to someone who wasn't there? Its like an atomic wind that lasts 2 hours.
I did chasing in my late teens early 20s in my truck with Ivan, Dennis, and Katrina so wind wise nothing on the caliber but what an experience. After Katrina and seeing cars washing up on I-10 and winds blowing 120 with gusts higher I felt fulfilled and quit taking my chances with nature. Could not imagine something like this must of been a nightmare making it back home. I know it took me forever on the back roads God the amount of trees I had to cut out of the way. I pray you always stay safe and I thanku for the amazing footage.
Wow no words to describe those wind speeds and surge. NHC report should come out in the next couple of months.
Indeed it has.
@@lordvader6481 Just upgraded to Cat 5
That’s a brave cameraman! Not only is a category 5 hurricane like a violent tornado that lasts for hours, but Hurricane Michael had a deadly and extremely high storm surge.
If buy some horrible circumstance I am out in the open.... going for a palm tree.
Tornados have higher wind speeds. A category 5 hurricane has a minimum winds speed the same as an f3 tornado.
@@Sayuri-cr8cy Hurricanes are a constant wind for hours. Tornadoes are just a burst for a few minutes. Also, Hurricanes produce tornadoes as well. Yea Tornadoes cause a lot of damage but usually in small areas as hurricanes are 100's of miles of damage.
Every time you rubbed the camera lens dry I pictured it like an old-school-cartoon character doing a double-take by rubbing their eyes in absolute disbelief 😵 toward what they see... Considering the actual content of the video - it seemed quite an appropriate response.
You guys caught some of the best if not the best footage.I feel like Im watching deadliest catch with that surge. Incredible!
The storm surge at the 35 minute mark was incredible to see.
If I saw that first hand I would think death was imminent.
Yea u ain't kidding its nuts. During katrina the water level where we were rose 9 ft in just 1 minutes time. If you're not paying attention you'll die quick, most people don't realize how fast it happens and that's why so many people died. That surge go 30 ft in some places and it happened in just a few minutes which drowned people in their attics. Its sad
@@Stephen-xw3ww Yeah, most people remember the flooding (due to levees breaking) but Katrina had a record storm surge - 27 feet at Pass Christian, Mississippi.
@@Stephen-xw3ww I transported some of the same line repair crew down here in Fla. after Irma. They said when they arrived for Katrina they found cows and goats in the tops of trees. Insane surge. They were also finding dead people in homes a year later - it took that long to get to and attend to some of the areas. They worked two years on Katrina repairs. $95 and hour, time and a half OT, 15 hours a day for 6 or 7 days a week. One guy bought a new house cash just from that job. They flock to these devastated areas after each one.
This was scary I uh one day my brother died from high water 😭😭😭😭😭. Prey for my brother
I enjoy watching tornado, hurricane and other crazy nature/weather videos. This is THE BEST. Moore or El Reno is now a close second. Thank you for this video and God rest the souls who perished in this monster.
Cat 5.0 now officially. This storm was insane. I don't ever want to be within 500 miles of one of these things. I was in Memphis when Katrina came through, but the winds were still 60 mph even 400+ miles from the landfall. Unreal.
I want to.
That blue house near the end took it like a champ! Who is that builder? They deserve some props!
That's our house. It actually survived the storm and was moved back to it's original location - 160 yards away.
@@kathydrake754 who was your home builder! We need them.
Amazing, amazing amazing !!! I went thru Hurricane Celia in Corpus Christi 1970. I saw things going sideways that wasn't possible.Freaked me out. Wind gauge at airport broke at 165. Hurricane Michael is on another level !!! I don't know how you kept your wits about you !!!
Thanks for the kind words and sharing some of your experience with hurricane Celia! I turned exactly 3 months old the day that probable Cat 4 storm blasted your area. Thanks again!
This is the stuff of nightmares. Great footage! I considered moving to PCB when some friends who were also locals told me to look at hurricane Michael. I'm now reconsidering.
Really takes you through the experience ...Good job !!!! Thanks.
WOW Those are some insane winds! Scary!!!! My God the storm surge is nuts!! Cars and debris floating by
Living through hurricane Charlie, Michael was much more terrifying, looking at this video. The gusts of wind must have been near 200 mph? Best hurricane video I've seen, ever!
vonpeedler
Yes, you’re correct. Cat5 hurricanes standardly have gust at or above 200mph. This one is no different.
Seriously, those winds after the one hour mark were beyond total chaos. I’ll rank those winds sustained at 165 to 170mph. The initial onslaught of when the storm surge first arrived with the winds were more like the 160mph sustained winds that Michael’s “official” intensity is at.
The total, complete whiteout conditions coupled with the unfathomable ferocity of the wind has only been experienced in the USA three times in recorded history.
You can guess what those other three cat5s were.
I had a 2x4 fly through the wall and into my living room like an arrow. From the outside, it just left a perfect small rectangular hole through the siding - but on the inside it looked like an explosion happened. I have no idea what the wind strength was but I've only seen similar wind damage from tornadoes.
I lived in Callaway, which is about in-between where this video was recorded and Panama City. The roof was ripped off my office building and my home was left so slanted/crooked you couldn't open or close any doors on the inside. What was left of it had to be torn down. I've been through multiple high category hurricanes but Michael was something else when it came to wind intensity.
@@_.-._.-._.-._.- Wish I would have been there.
Thank you for posting this video! Historic footage!
Although I would not do this myself, it is good that we have individuals willing to. Capturing eyewall footage on the ground of a cat 4 or 5 is not only stunning, it hopefully puts to rest the idea of a "hurricane party". The only thing you should be doing if you are in the path of one of these is leave or prepare, not party.
As I viewed the palm trees blowing back and forth, I remember being in boot camp on Parris Island. The wind was whipping around that brick building so, and it woke me up! I remember the look on that young drill instructors face...had, I not been a yankee, I might've stayed awake. I'm in the great northwest now, no palm trees, no great blowing winds. Just rain and more rain. Great job you guys !
truly puts a perspective on the raw power of what should be a cat 5 storm, the sights and sounds of the eyewall and surge speak for themselves. would have to agree this is some of the only video I have seen from mexico beach proper.
Robert Frederick have you heard? They revised Michael to a cat5.
@@justinharris5195 yes, I wasn't surprised. at least it didn't take as long as it took them to upgrade Andrew.
Robert Frederick true, honestly though, I still don’t know till this they why it took 10 full years until the NHC finally realized Andrew was a cat5, I mean I know technology was really lackluster back then, but I don’t know.
@@justinharris5195 me neither, the argument has been that the higher the category given, the higher the insurance payout, I'm not sure though. I know that for michael the federal government is using the the 90/10 rule.
Robert Frederick ok, I’ve done a little research and found that the most likely reason why it took so long for Andrew to be revised is because of mainly two things.
1. The hurricane hunters didn’t had a technology called dropwindsondes, which is a cylinder shaped device that they drop into to the hurricane and eventually the ocean, it measures breaking ocean waves and uses that to determine the wind speed. Of course they didn’t had that during Andrew, but they did have the plane flying into the storm, and it did measure 185mph flight level winds, which would usually equal 145knot wind at ground level.
2. When they did find out Andrew was a cat5, they also found that those cat5 winds were most likely very short lived and in a very tiny area in the northeastern quadrant of the eye wall, which is of course were the strongest winds of most tropical systems are, the cat5 winds likely died out very quickly and were only right on the cost.
I think because of that reason alone this is the reason why it took so long to figure out, because those cat5 level winds were so confined in such a small area that the hurricane hunters probably couldn’t even find them, so they had to use ground damage and ground wind monitors to find the evidence.
If you’re interested of finding this article just type in,”why did it take 10 years for Andrew to be revised to a cat5.” You should find a Sun Sentinel article that says,” ten years later, Andrew upgraded to cat5”.
Wow! I've seen a lot of storm videos but this is without a doubt the best I've ever seen! I almost felt like I was there. Excellent footage!
With all that destruction in a storm surge and the incredible winds power, I can safely accurately determine the winds speed. The wind speed in this video is 184 mph sustained winds with gusts to an incredible 235 mph. That’ll be enough to overturn the cruise ship large enough to be completely leveled. The building you all are in can sustain up to 350 mph winds, enough to prevent collapse on top of you.
Incredible video.
Thanks for the kind words, Brian!
That's the speed of an EF5 tornado when you factor in those gusts! I'm curious. How did you figure those wind speeds? (I'm asking because I can only hear this video, and I wondered how you were able to know the actual speed of those winds.) Was it indicated on radar, or was there a wind speed indicator? Thank you so much in advance.
Heather stubbs Its wind indicator. To factor into the damage of a large item, like the entire roof floating as a example, that indicates the wind speed calculation. 184 is more of accurate. It’s called microwind, where the wind speed comes into the strength of the eyewall, and the wind measurement went offline, it means that the wind exceeds the calculation. I also heard the background of close to a EF5 sounds, I knew it’s 184 mph sustained winds. No device would measure that type of wind speed in person, out in the open.
@@pantherzone2008 Okay. I wasn't sure about that, but I wonder if you're able to hear infrasonic and ultrasonic tones or sounds? I can hear them, but I didn't know there was a formula to use to figure the wind speed of a storm. I get especially sick and very nauseated when tornadic weather is forming. It's like I feel very drunk and lightheaded, and I even feel as if I could leave the floor. It's not a good feeling at all.
39:24 it looks like they're on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean during a powerful storm
Yeah
Boi you wrong
Unbelievable footage . Best hurricane footage ever taken!!!
Very high praise, and greatly appreciate your post. It was most certainly an event myself and many others will never forget. Sadly, "Michael" was the last experience of some peoples lives, that fateful day! :(
Outstanding footage! Insane! That hurricane not only looked like a beast, but sounded like it as well. The whole video has this constant background growl, almost like coming from a monster.
It was a monster. Our ears popped the whole time. Your head felt like it was going to pop off from the low pressure. Scariest thing I've ever lived through and feel lucky to say so.
Wow that’s some insane footage. This is also some of the only footage from the Mexico beach area.

The best hurracane video! Period!
That’s insane! There’s no way this was only a category 4...just look at the wind and the storm surge. Glad you guys made it out safe
I totally agree. Not sure the NHC will actually upgrade it, but the totality of the data argues they should. Thanks for the kind words, btw!
A high level 4 is extremely dangerous. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was a 4 and that killed 6000 people.
@@markpalavos3742 Agree, wholeheartedly, Mark! That said, the data from Recon, radar velocity, and satellite intensity estimates all support a 140 kt category-five classification.
@@extremeweathercoverage4683 Well we will see what happens.
To me 155 mph suatained sh o uld be cat 5 and cat 6 should start at 190. I was very disappointed that I was not in east Panama City or Callaway. Would have ridden Michael out in my car.
Just announced. Hurricane Michael officially upgraded to a Category 5 at landfall.

This is by far, the most terrify cyclone video I see. That sheer wind speed alone and house floating by. Never seen before
Holy crap, the part at the 1 hour mark is nuts. Very hard to tell but id ballpark those winds at least 160, maybe 165-170. What a monster.
StormChasingVideo you think they may upgrade it in the near future?
StylistecS I would say definitely, there is more evidence of Michael being a cat5 then there Is of it being cat4, and this video is just one of those evidences.
Justin Harris yeah even around the 23:30 mark, it looks like a cat 4 and that isn’t even the strongest part of the video.
It was a CAT 5~
Alex Lubbers hurricane Michael is now officially a cat5, 160mph, you were right on the money with this bro👍
I live in Gulf Breeze, FL. (Just south of Pensacola). We really dodged a bullet with this one. 😳 I’ve been in a few hurricanes before, but I’ve never seen anything like this!! I can’t believe how fast that storm surge came up!! 🤯 I just got done watching your Hurricane Katrina video too. You guys get some AMAZING footage!! I’m so glad y’all made it out ok! Thank you for sharing!! ♥️ Continued prayers 🙏🏻 for the people of Mexico Beach, Panama City, & Port St. Joe!
I hope to see a storm like this in person one day. If another one hits the US coast and I hope it does as cat 5 I’m going right to the core. What is your opinion of that?
Must of been a bit scary being in that car park surrounded by the surge. Good job it didn't get any higher. Great footage you have captured of the raw power of a hurricane. Thanks for risking your life to capture this on video. Good job. Stay safe.
It's amazing how in hurricanes you can pretty much find certain spots in/around your house/structure from which you can watch the storm safely and being just a couple feet away from the winds/etc..... I'm Floridian and have been thru about 10-15 storms..
One I remember specifically going thru and being basically outside watching it was Frances 2004.. I was living in Palm Bay, Florida at the time, and Frances was only a category 2.. . So sorta fun (a 5 like Michael is NOT fun!). Frances also had a very slow forward speed, which caused my area ..Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie counties, to experience hurricane force sustained winds for about 36 hours! A typical hurricane with "normal" forward speed means affected areas generally have hurricane force winds for about 10-15 hours... so 36 hours... Frances was a long slow but fun storm. The eye was large and passed south of my location which meant in Palm Bay we were getting winds coming from the east blowing to the west.. the garage in my house then faced north, so we had ourselves a hurricane party right there in the garage with the garage door open ... we were safe and shielded but still were able to pretty much experience Frances full fury!!
Fantastic footage
Just found your channel - I have never seen footage like this and thankfully not experienced a hurricane of this kind myself, really frightening. Stay safe my friend
There is a guy in the uk going around saying people who have endured hurricanes are mentally ill for calling for help
A couple, who were in their house during this horror show, witnessed that blue house floating by as well. It remained intact, sat on the side of the road for over a year, and was eventually placed back on it's foundation.
Incredible footage. I remember this storm like yesterday. Also impressive dr 1:11:30 to 1:18:00 (where the blue house floats by) you can see the wind change direction
Notice the white suv drive by left to right at 27.35 -maybe another store chaser. Crazy scary video. Thanks for making this video and I know how you risked all.This is the definitive hurricane video. Hope I never have to experience one-this is more than enough!
Best footage I have ever seen. Wow. So glad you guys made it out. I had sisters who lived in Lynn haven. Went down 2 days afterwards. I was in shock of the destruction
Thanks so much, Lawrence! That entire area from Western-most PC to Pt. St. Joe was devastated, as you noted. Lynn Haven being one of the worst. Glad your sisters survived and hope are doing well!
I am not sure if you are all part of one crew, but you guys did an amazing job getting some of the most intense footage of a hurricane I have seen! I live in Ohio, and the only real tropical system that impacted my life was Hurricane Ike (almost 90 mph gusts).. I will never forget the sound of the wind!!
The MerV
They are only 5videos in existence that I know of that show legitimate cat5 winds, this one, another video a little farther inland in the same area, the footage that Josh took in Great Abaco during Dorian, another video on a balcony which was also Dorian, and finally a short clip of Irma on one of the leeward islands.
Hopefully we won’t see anymore than that.
What a great video. I’ll rewatch this and hurricane Ian videos so I’ll leave next time. 😮 you’re very brave. It’s so loud. You never get over those sounds💙
Damn! That surge came out of no where! Amazing footage!
Insane. It was like a "Hurrinami" it came up so quick.
Kudos to you Tony Brite and massive amounts of RESPECT.
Thank you for the very kind words!
Still the best hurricane coverage I've ever seen
Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful words! It was most definitely a harrowing experience. Most grateful to have survived unharmed...except for some hearing loss due to the deafening roar of the Cat 5 winds!
I still hear that howling at night when I sleep. I’ll never forget that noise.

I could not imagine being in this storm. It seems like it never ends. Great video!
It is a very cool video and a very wonderful storm but short.
This really is incredible footage. I only wish the autofocus hadn't messed with it so much.
That was an amazing yet scary capture... actually, very scary. Thanks for having the bravery for this.
Thank you, Micki, for the kind words!
The people of Lake Charles regarding Hurricane Laura should all be grateful they didn't have to deal with the absolute power and devastation of Hurricane Michael. Amazing footage and job well done.
Amazing video, incredible footage, this is very scary, hats off to you all, you must have balls of steel
Just mind blowing insane power from Mother Nature
What an extraordinary film, it's a scientific treasure trove for wind velocity, cause and effect, I'm guessing, but at points 160, 170mph!?
Thanks for the film, it was thrilling!
Thanks for the very kind words! Given this was filmed in the absolute point of Max wind (inner eyewall), these are the estimated 140 kt (160 mph) CAT 5 sustained winds. Gusts are typically estimated at 120% of those...or greater than 190 mph!
This is awesome footage. Up there with footage on here from Typhoon Haiyan.
I`m from Louisiana. I was there a week later to help clean up. That thing was a badass.
Incredible. Looks like the world was ending kinda. Scary but amazing at the same time. Wow. Wonderful job guys ✊🏼
48:10 Holy crap! That’s even more intense than the famous Hurricane Charley eyewall video. You can actually hear the building around them being ripped apart. Wow.
Watching this video on 9/16/19, just a couple weeks after hurricane Dorian!,.. Michael was tearing everything up!! The Most Awesome Video I've ever seen from a Storm!! I hope someone got a video just like this of Dorian, and I hope they made it through safely😢🙏🙏 I'm Soo Glad you guys are safe🙏🙏Thank You for sharing this video!!🙂❤
Mary Cope if you’re looking for a Dorian eye wall video there’s a channel named icyclone, a guy named josh recorded it in a concrete building.
@@justinharris5195 Ohh Great!! Thank You so much🙂I will do that
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments, Mary! :)
As Justin noted, Icyclone filmed Dorian in Marsh Harbour in the NW Bahamas. The reason the winds look/are stronger in this video than that one is because he was in the weaker SW portion of Dorian's eyewall, while I was in the absolute max winds of Michael's eyewall. That said, Icyclone captured the best footage of Dorian, nonetheless, with winds at the low end of Cat 5. He was well away from the storm surge, so there isn't any footage of that...However, he also filmed some of the devastating aftermath.
Thanks again for taking the time to share such kind words.
@@extremeweathercoverage4683 You're Welcome🙂❤ Did you see Dorian's Eyewall??😍Totally Awesome!! I Love watching these videos!! These people are Extremely Brave to get this footage!! I think Jim Edd's took a Great video of Dorian's Eyewall...BEAUTIFUL😍😍😍
Absolutely incredible footage. My god
This is incredible footage...I can't believe you guys were as calm as you were. Where you are in a hurricane makes ALL the difference in the world...by shooting on Mexico Bch you guys positioned yourself directly in the right front quadrant along the entire length of the Eyewall...so you get the most violent winds AND the destructive storm surge (no EYE, no CALM). Pensacola was directly in Michael's path which offered probably a half-hour of nearly peaceful and calm conditions within the eye and saw nothing close to this level of carnage. Unbelievable footage!!!
Wow-i would have been pooping in my pants-too Scary! Kudos to you guys!!!
Absolutely incredible power. I live not far east of there very near the coast and cannot imagine had it struck here, as it was a possibility. Seeing your footage and other's, I am convinced not to stay next time. It's amazing there was anything left.
My family went through this Monster Hurricane Michael it totally Destroy our county. With 4 hours of high winds and rain .we lost about 96.000 trees and Hurricane Michael destroyed our house .
wow incredible footage... I've never seen anything like it. What forces of nature. Unimaginable until you see it in a video like this... Thanks for sharing and also for sharing your experience of how it was to be there in the comments.
Thank you very much, Jetti!
I'm just amazed at the power of mother nature we are really at her mercy when stuck and have to ride these storm out 👍 Thanks for the video chasers 👌
Thanks, Jerome, for the nice words! Like you, nature's most extreme weather is awe-inspiring and never ceases to amaze me.
🤤 Bless you gentlemen that stayed and filmed this horrifying storm.
I lived through it. Anybody in the eyewall would have told you it was a Cat 5!
I'm glad u lived through it I lived in Callaway at the time
Andrew Mason , I grew up in Callaway. It really took a hard hit! It’s sad to drive through Callaway and Parker and see so much massive destruction after all these months.😢
Went through Hurricane Harvey. No I thought that was scary but when I saw the footage from this. Just topped it.
@@lisarhodes968 If I had to do it all over again I would have gone to Callaway and ride it out. I think there will be another cat 5 somewhere in the US in the next ten years.
@@peggygibbons479 No I was not. I was near Talahasee. Even there we had hurricane conditions.
The weather channel just said Hurricane Michael has been upgraded to a cat5. Like we didn't know that already lol
Post analysis can take a while. The data must have been inconclusive until recently.
@@lordvader6481 I hear ya
There was another video taken a little more inland from 15th St & Steve Lane but in this one the winds look even stronger because being closer to the coast its has less land friction.
WOW! Amazing footage.
It is amazing how adapted the palm trees are to these storms because everything could be destroyed but the palms still remain and look like nothing happened!
Probably the most intense sustained winds I have ever seen in any video of a Hurricane impact. What a freaking beast.
MrZnel52 the only video that rivals this one is the hurricane Dorian video Josh took in great abaco.
@@justinharris5195 Agreed, as the winds in Josh's video seem just a little bit less intense there in Marsh Harbour during Dorian...than those experienced in Mexico Beach from Michael. That said, I can only imagine what those winds were like just another 10 nautical miles further to the N of MH...where Dorian's maximum winds were located.
Based on the Doppler radar velocity data, the maximum sustained winds may have actually been 145 kt/165 mph in Mexico Beach.
Extremeweather Coverage yep, I’ve looked at the radar velocity data for Michael and one measured 183mph flight level. And an NHC report stated that meso vortices within the eye wall had flight level winds of 195knots plus, not to mention multiple SFMR readings over 140knots.
So when you think about it, 160mph is a conservative estimate. Just looking at this video and seeing the cars floating so close past the camera completely disappearing in those wind gust still blows my mind to this day.
Everyone that watched the Dorian footage thinks they’ve seen 185mph winds, when in reality, Josh definitely was in the “weak” part of Dorian, and it saddens me that I still don’t know what 185mph sustained winds actually look like.
@@justinharris5195 I share the same concern that most believe the winds in Josh's video are the estimated peak winds found anywhere within the entire eyewall (185 mph). Such inaccurate assumptions could conceivably lead to future residents attempting to ride out a legitimate 185 mph MSW (if they incur the absolute brunt of such winds), which might be a fatal decision.
I'm so grateful Marsh Harbour didn't receive the peak eyewall winds from Dorian, as a great number of additional causalities would've likely occurred. Moreover, a track just slightly further S would've also delivered a greater storm surge over a larger portion of Great Abaco. It was really bad as it was, but still could've been so much worse.
Edit: As always, thank you Justin for your thoughtful and very knowledgeable comments!
Wow! I would have been holed up in a closet somewhere holding my ears and bawling! All that debris going by and your building still standing! Im so glad u made it out ok.
Thank you so much, T Kay!
T Kay Old wood structures break loose from the foundations and float away, cement is the only way to go ! Our insurance rates went from 600.00 to 6000.00 per year after Michael for a old wood condo built in the eightys
This is wild AF 😮😮 the footage is truly historic and so educational. Thank you for risking your life for this footage 💜💜 that's gonna be a hell of a story for the grandkids 😂
I love how the palm trees are just like, yeah, what you got? i can take everything you have!
deadenddude you do realize that a lot of the palm trees in Michael were either knocked down by storm surge or just snapped like twigs right-then-and there.
"I'll take your entire stock"
Palm trees evolved to withstand hurricanes. They usually do really well unless it's a monster hurricane.
ZualaPips
Lol, what? Michael was a cat5, isn’t that not a “monster hurricane”? What else could be classified as “monster”?

Naples got hit pretty hard by Irma and this makes Irma look like a Sunday picnic. Powerful winds wow.
And I thought Sandy was terrifying but this is way more terrifying
It is but if any bad hurricane hits New York with the way it is and Long Island being on the water it will be really really bad even a minor hurricane .. I’m saying this like ur from New York I’m not sure cause it hit a few places obviously but I’m jus sayin
I can guarantee you somebody did some soul-searching as they watch that house Float by
Yep. Many non religious people would become very religious by that point...lol
I experienced hurricane Andrew as a child and the destruction left behind in southern Miami Dade county was beyond greusome. There was a wind gust measured in Perrine that nearly hit 180mph and gusts were measured at homestead air force base near 190mph.
chris pascual They had gust of Michael at 185 190 as well sustained winds at 160 for awhile, scary Hurricane!! Which I live in Parker Florida, that’s about 15 miles west of Mexico beach, Tyndall Air Force base got leveled as well just a beast of a storm that didn’t ever seem to end..
And no doubt Andrew was a monster of its own and did a ton of damage!!
chris pascual I drove thru homestead a month after Andrew and it was eery looking, not a single leaf on a tree anywhere
For people who didn’t know what Andrew looked like because it hit so early in the morning, this is what it looked like.
@@timwhitten5014 If there were sustained winds Category 5 strength it was here not Parker and not Tyndall. Also the peak gusts here were around 185 in Parker probably 160 and 175 at Tyndall Airforce bae. Extreme winds.
in Mexico Beach, some houses were very old and barely standing as it was. Some new construction was built to withstand this. Most were somewhere in between or as one guy told me, "my house was ok until another house's roof hit it."
I'm looking for the full video of Wilma. You have some footage, I'm hoping you would be able to load some full length videos. Love them. Keep on Chasing!
Excellent video BTW. I sincerely hope the People of Mexico Beach have gone a long way rebuilding their homes and lives following such a catastrophe.
It's hard to believe that the winds of this hurricane were only said to be 160 mph. It had to be more.
i love this little sleepy town so much. we live in panama city and stayed for the storm. we got hit but not wiped out like this place. this was a place to go spend your day off visiting folks hitting the little shops. fishing. it was just so perfect.
Every time I see this I'm amazed. I'd be like, look there's a car floating past me. This is why I've always loved weather. Look at the awesome power, untethered. Does anyone feel me ?
Kerry Stewart until it’s your own home floating by.
Ww
I enjoy the wind but not the surge
Excellent footage. Thank you.
Hi Lupara, thank you for taking the time to share such kind words!
incredible footage
