I’m sitting here loving the sound “behind the screen of course”. I would totally freak out if i had to go through it in person. We went through Katrina here in MS and we are in central MS so it had calmed down a lot once it got to us but it was still really bad with lots if damage so i can’t imagine being where it initially hits

Best wishes from Brasil! Our thoughts are with you all, stay strong U.S.A.!

Awesome video. My horse was about a half a mile from your location at minute 12. He was ok.

The alarm switch was right there at the wall!

You have balls of steel! 😳

This is an unbelievable video. I’ve been through Hurricane Andrew and 4 years ago Hurricane Michael. This brought it all back . 🌴Plant City🌴Florida

Wow that's impressive he is driving literally in the eye and he's unharmed that is crazy smart but also dangerous at the same time

Those first shots scream " Florida neighborhood". I used to live in NPR and that reminds me of where I lived. A very common look on the Gulf Coast.

This video is INSANE! Glad you survived it ok.

I wish you would have braved the 2nd half of the eye, it was brutal here in Port Charlotte. Footage would have been awesome...it was unlike the first half, that's for sure.

i like how we could watch the cane intensify. ive been in a hundred canes and this type of vid is best

In some ways southern Sarasota County and northern Charlotte County got the worst of the wind from Ian. Ian was a very slow moving colossal sized hurricane. The people in those areas got hit by the northern eyewall for hours and hours. Seeing wind like that is always a pretty traumatic situation. Having it blow like that for hours on end is just really nasty and scary. You just want that wind to let up, but it keeps going for hours.

You are absolutely correct. North Port was very bad as far as the winds are concerned, as well as lots of flooding.

I thought the alarm going off was very authentic truly placing us in real times conditions, no editing👍🏿4me...it also seems to be his mindset no nonsense! raw as possible footage...not a lot of talking more observing for better realism...Insane anxiety ride yet excellent courageous video!💯🎯🙏👊🏿✊🏿🤎😎

So relaxing I watch these videos to help me relax at night 👍🏻🇦🇺

I live in north port it was nuts 😳

Courageous Thank you for all the perspectives shown The calmness was very eery especially after hearing the incredible loudness and chaos shortly before. When else can you drive on roads and no one is on them- very risky; you did have a calmness as you gave the time and other stats w hich is amazing Many Blessings and Thank you so much. Courageous and Brave 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have family in Miami, Tampa, and Port Charlotte. My Dad lived in Tampa. I’m afraid for them, praying for those in Florida.

It was really cool that you crossed the Eye from NW to SE through HW 40. I stopped just in the middle of the eye just south of Punta Gorda and turned back towards Charlotte Harbor. The back Eyewall was way stronger than the front Eyewall. Love the the footage of the SSE Eyewall from the distance on minute 52

I always forget this channel is primarily a weather channel. 🦌 🦅 🐿️ Great coverage of the ‘cane!

The footage of you going in and out of the eye wall was absolutely mesmerizing.

As the Sun sinks further into the "Eddy" Grand Solar Minimum, fewer and fewer major hurricanes will hit the US Coast. The ones that do hit, will be severe due to an increase in cosmic rays hitting the planet, seeding the clouds.

My in-laws rode out the storm in Grove City. Not far from where you hunkered down at.

Oh geesh I am having an anxiety attack for your sake, watching this! What happened to those two homes' roofs?

The Palm Trees Are So Beautiful And strong . Born and raised on the Gulf Coast And I will die here .I lost my home in Camille, and I evacuate when told , that the reason I’am still here ❤

We had to drive from Deep Creek during the eye collapse, to Port Charlotte to evacuate -our roof blew back, concrete dwelling, we stood outside recording/watching directly where the roof fell...house shook, we went inside to see the fasia blowing off our front gable. Filed with water then the roof ceiling, attic fell inside and exterior to our garage side, front double doors blown open, window shutters ripped off with other damages all at once. Pressure was intense. Insulation blown throughout the house, closets ect. Happy you survived, safe and love my storms too... Except this one, perhaps the deal-breaker... lol...much worse than Charley.

The only part of Florida that wasn’t touched was the panhandle and Jacksonville It will take decades to rebuild from this storm

I'm surprised that fence is still standing up in that wind.

Great video. Was glued to it the entire time. Good positioning without putting yourself in deaths way. Obviously people shouldn't be storm chasing when they don't understand the dynamics of a hurricane. You obviously do. Your vehicle is a bit smaller and lighter than I would like

It was prolly 10x worse in person, cameras dont translate wind well

24:30 I'm not sure what those tall skinny trees are in the back, but they sure are tolerant to wind. Very flexible, even more so than some palms. I see them in quite a few hurricane videos.

I noticed from your videos that their are utility poles. It seems to me that those utilities wires should be underground. Many improvements are necessary in these high risk areas. Major changes are in store for property owners. The insurance companies are going to cancel policies and pull out of these areas. In spite of these challenges, we should be able to upgrade the building codes significantly. Prayers go out for the people effected in these areas. Patience and thinking this through will be needed in the months ahead.

After H. Charley, they put tall concrete power poles along highways. They did ok, lines down… Wondered why they didn’t bury them. We’re in East Englewood, neighbors had to hold their double front doors closed for hours, in the eye wall. Others blew open, debris in the house, some blew back sliders out. There wasn’t much warning for Venice south to Naples. By then highways were crowded, hotels filled, gas running low. It pulled a Charley and went in around Charlotte harbor. Charlotte County has no Red Cross approved shelters. Elevation too low. Never know where these storms are really going! Prayers to those affected, especially those who lost life, family and homes and businesses.

This explains why all the trees, poles, etc. in the area are leaning or downed in the same direction, including the tall palm leaning dangerously over our home. Paid a tree team from Kansas, who camped on the access road, $1,000 to cut it down and grind the stump. Heard that was a bargain from others… Also lost 4 fruit trees, and need a new roof… but compared to others in the area, we feel blessed! Prayers to those affected by Ian.
