The term Palm Tree in itself is kind of a oxymoron too because really they are just a giant type of grass/herb like bamboo and sugar cane. Very fibrous, they absolutely suck when you have to dig near them. Root ball is insanely strong and flexible like the rest of the tree.

Oi ROGER 994418283 ESTEIO

Was watching it on The Weather Channel during the hurricane Irma ! It looked so frightning !

IDK if you'll see this comment, after all this time. But I just wanted to say, my beloved mother-in-law, who passed just a few years ago, lived in Naples. We were so worried about her, during Irma. And seeing this footage, really brings home just how scary it was. We knew she was safe in her neighborhood clubhouse, with all her friends (which was their neighborhood storm plan). But we still worried, of course, and called her several times, from the beginning of the storm, until after it passed. She was always just as cool as a cucumber. Never even seemed the least bit worried. (And she said she lost some foliage, but her home itself-somehow-sustained little damage.) Seeing this video, I have NO IDEA how she couldn't have been! I'd have been terrified! She'd lived in Naples for 30 years or more at that point, though. So I don't know if she was just used to that kind of stuff by then (the same way Midwesterners are used to tornadoes), or if she was just downplaying, because she didn't want us to worry. Maybe it was a little of both. Anyway, thank you for posting this. You reminded me of just what an amazing, strong person my late MIL really was. I miss her.

This is some incredible footage Thank you for that tropmet . I've never actually been in one Myself Even though I did live in Clearwater and Saint Pete Florida For about 3 years ...I think the closest I got was Actually in 2012 when Sandy Came by I think we felt a tiny bit of it Even though it was out in the Atlantic. On the other hand I've been a hurricane Chaser from home Since probably about 2002 So 17 years And I find hurricanes Fascinating

This really captures everything wonderful Hurricane Irma clip Michael.😎

So when a hurricane comes it only really "pounds" an area for just a few minutes and quickly moves on? I'm just asking because it seemed like there was a stretch of time where the winds REALLY picked up but then it died down rather quickly. Was that point where the winds really picked up the actual "hurricane" itself? I'm from TN and am really fascinated by this. The sound of hurricanes is just really scary too. One of the creepiest sounds in nature to me. It's like a really creepy whistle or something.

Each hurricane is unique in many ways, but the primary factors that determine the duration of the "hurricane" are: 1. The size of the hurricane's wind field (i.e. how far out do the hurricane-force winds extend from the center); 2. The speed of the hurricane's forward motion; and 3. The observer's distance from the center of the storm. A hurricane that has a large wind field, with hurricane-force winds extending out a long distance (sometimes more than 50 miles in all directions) can affect a very large area... if the storm is also moving slowly (less than 5 mph), or becomes stationary, locations near the path of the storm's center can experience hurricane force winds for a very long period. In some of the most extreme cases, like Hurricane Betsy in 1965, some portions of the Bahamas were subjected to hurricane-force winds continuously for over 70 hours. In the case of Hurricane Irma, when it made landfall in SW Florida, the hurricane-force winds extended outward a significant distance to the east of the center, about 80 miles, but only about half that distance to the north, and there were hardly any winds of hurricane force to the south of the center. The storm was moving northward at about 12 mph. So, the net result was, at my location in Naples, with the center of the storm passing directly over my location (from south to north), prior to the passage of the calm eye, I experienced hurricane conditions for about two hours... progressively getting worse, and reaching a peak as the hurricane's northern eyewall (the area of strongest winds and heaviest rain that occurs immediately outside the calm center) moved over my area. The eyewall, being a much smaller area within the overall hurricane-force winds, only lasted for about 45 minutes. This was immediately followed by a rapid decrease in wind speed, taking about 10 minutes to get down to almost a complete calm, as the eye moved over. Once the eye passed, strong winds returned from the opposite direction, but never reached hurricane strength again, as the storm's wind field was asymmetric at that point, and the eyewall did not completely encircle the eye. Of course, my video is edited down to take you through the whole experience in only nine minutes... so, while it may seem like it's just a few minutes, in reality the duration of the destructive winds (>50 mph) was about 3-4 hours, with the peak conditions and strongest winds (>100 mph) lasting for about 45 minutes. Overall, that is still fairly quick for a hurricane (mainly due to the lack of hurricane conditions on the back side of this particular storm). On average, in a mature hurricane with a more symmetrical wind field, destructive winds will last from 10-12 hours, with full hurricane conditions lasting from 4-6 hours.

Awesome footage.

The ducks in our apartment were actually having fun. We watched them go in the pond on one side, then drift across the pond, then do it again.

At 1:58 that was my head hitting a light pole.....oh that is going to leave a Mark!

Similar to what I went through in Wilma but Wilma was worse because we had the backside of the eye too which was maybe even worse than the front for much of southeast Florida

It sounds like Mike from ultimate chase was there.

Tropmet | Storm Chasing They survived Hurricane Irma because my dad called them to get prepared and they know what to do to get ready for a hurricane and I have been through two hurricanes before one was Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Super Storm Sandy in 2012 in New York city my dad mom and my sister and I survived two of those hurricanes with no injuries and that was really important to me but now I'm 16 years old and tropment storm chasing good luck on your next hurricane chasing of the 2018 hurricane season and that's my story

Trees in the hurricane: what the... No! We are going to die !!!! Someone stop this!! Palm trees in the hurricane: Hehe Look at my hair moving like in the ads

Very impressive footage! We're you in the eyewall?

Great video. I've lived in south Florida my whole life and have been through so many near misses and close calls (Wilma was not that bad) that I just blew Irma off. I was not prepared at all for her. First time in my life the weather scared me like that.

​@@KennethHeinly Same man. I was in the southernmost portion of the Estates, I think that area got hit the hardest out of everywhere in Collier. Wilma's craziest winds were over the everglades down in Monroe County, which is why we didn't get it so bad.

I was absolutely terrified as it came. I rode it out in Oldsmar

Wow fantastic!

In Pinellas County where I live winds throughout were probably 45 to 85 gusts barely approaching 100. There was no real eyewall by this time. The hurricane weakened too much and it spreads out when that happens so a lot of central florida got very strong winds but not killer winds.
