As a Houma resident who rode out the storm, I want to personally thank you for this video. It really shows just how powerful Ida truly was. It's so crazy to see these places I'm so familiar with getting hammered, especially since I pass by that hotel you were in practically every day. You did an excellent job documenting the storm as it passed you. You've earned my sub. Keep it up ❤
@@iCyclone Most things are back to normal. Some businesses have fallen under, and remain torn apart like the day Ida came through. Some roofs retain their blue tarps, and some churches still lack roof shingles.
I cyclone, are you going to capture Hurricane Brenyl? If you want, I heard Jamaica is a good place to go, since it might hit there, but you would have to take a plane. Maybe another island is better, but the category 4 is still too far out to see. This video was pretty crazy, and I got a feeling more craziness is coming in 2024. Stay safe, hope to see more footage this year! You earned my sub too.
This storm badly affected us. We left before the storm hit when it was still near cuba because I thought it was going to be a major hurricane due to the high temperatures in the gulf. After the storm we came back and saw an entire wooden carport in front of our house that had been ripped up from a nearby house and slammed into our roof and slid off. Our house was in the outer eyewall of the storm but didn't get into the inner eyewall. That's my story of Hurricane Ida i guess.
Thank you for bringing awareness to what Terrebonne Parish endured during Ida. My roof ripped off at 5:19 PM while I was inside my house. Still feeling waves of trauma and experiencing flashback nightmares almost a month later.
Terrebone, although being nearly destroyed by Ida, I feel as though it still wasn't quite as bad as it was in LaFourche parish (especially golden meadow and vicinity). They got hammered the hardest in the storm, getting peak right eyewall winds. It was absolutely saddening to see. Now I personally live in Southwest Florida, luckily I didn't have to live this through, however just seeing what you and ESPECIALLY what the people just north of you had to go through was very sad to see. I hope you got your house fixed up or got a new one. I also hope that the hurricanes stay away from LA for a few years at least.
Thanks for the great content, Josh! I am from Houma and the devastation was surreal. A lot of my relatives that stayed said they kept seeing and hearing “tornadoes” while they were getting battered by the eyewall. I was chalking it up to mesovorticies and your video pretty much backs that up
Actually Huoma did not get the strongest part of Ida. It was about like a strong cat three here. Strongest part was the eastern eyewall and they got the weaker western eyewall. Im not a chaser but I hope there is a good hurricane next year. Really want to chase.
I always feel so bad for the animals outside that have to go through this. Amazing video , so scary. I’m in the north east. I don’t see these storms. Luckily.
Wow, great video Josh. That’s the first time I have heard you say you didn’t feel safe in a spot. And you went thru the Mighty Dorian 😂😂 I feel for those people, that’s for sure. Hopefully they are doing better. Again, great job documenting this storm.
That eye almost came directly over my place here in Watson, LA.. The winds were strong enough to snap the tip of power poles in half like twigs, yet there wasn't much structural damage. We only lost a few shingles and a fence..
Josh, great footage as always. I started following your work after becoming captivated by Dorian in 2019. I am not personally on social media, but keep tabs on your awesome Twitter account. Love your wit and weather-savvy (and I'm secretly hoping you'll fully convert to the south 😁). Thank you for helping all of us learn and stay weather-aware!
Aww, thanks so much for the kind words, Marcy. ♥ I am definitely *partially* converted to the Deep South. I dig it here and it definitely speaks to some part of my soul. 🙂
@@iCyclone 😊 I am a mid-Atlantic transplant in NW GA just outside of Chattanooga (no hurricane excitement here ☹), but still claim southern ways. Maybe you will come around eventually. 😁
This is an incredible film, Josh, it clearly shows how the ferocity of the storm built up throughout the day. Love seeing the horizontal rain along the street and coming off the roofs. The wind by the bridge sounded pretty cool too, and it wasn't even ripping (to quote you :)) at that point! The destruction IDA caused is just awful, and it looked like the Live Oaks barely had any leaves left on them at the end. Can't imagine how the people of LA recover after that. One day at a time I guess. Really enjoy this format where we see more of your journey, and the before and after. Thank you 🙂
You know the, uh, poop is hitting the propeller, if you know what I mean, when Josh drops the F-bomb. What a wicked storm. Incredible footage, as usual. The view of main street made me gasp out loud. Where does one even begin to clean up such a mess?
Amazing video coverage, and hello again Legend. Love your videos and it has gotten me very interested in studying Hurricanes, hopefully, one day I can study them.
Nice to see what my home was going through when the storm hit. So ghostly to see main street looks so great before the storm compared to the condition it's in now. So ghostly just to see Houma in general before the storm because of how much has changed.
Yesssss another chase for me to watch! Btw, why'd the first one get removed? *Realtime:* Josh: *chases storm, going from one location to the next, settling in Houma, LA; getting awesome footage in the eyewall* Marcel: *records webcam on New Orleans' Bourbon Street, watching it all unfold in New Orleans; also keeping track of the outages in all of LA*
Unfortunately I see that there are almost no buildings with concrete roofs, only roofed with sheets. And that, in a hurricane zone, is a big mistake! Greetings from Argentina!
How long does it typically take for a town or city to recover from a hurricane of that strength? It looks like there is an opportunity to look at where the structural failures are and identify the weak points of buildings. It looks like anything made of sheet metal (e.g. warehouses) and gable ends are vulnerable, and once the wind can get inside, it is game over.
It’s been almost 8 months and still some homes are waiting to be fixed (roofs, interior). Some businesses are still closed but the majority have been able to reopen.
Wow thanks for sharing this we stayed inside in an incredibly strong house in Houma la very close to where you filmed this ( mother in-laws house) we live in a mobile home down one of the Bayous and we were lucky having about 9 thousand in damage but not a complete loss mostly the decks all were destroyed and many of the blocks came down in the back of the trailer we had just put a new roof 2 weeks before the storm so only lost a few shingles and 1 window blew out next door is the church had major damage you could see though the church from front to the back. Further down this Bayou most of the homes are completely destroyed thanks for posting this video because we couldn't see anything 💕☮️
You're very welcome, Mary! I'm really glad to hear you made it through the storm, and that your home survived it *pretty* well, considering everything. (It sounds like whoever did your new roof did a good job!)
@@iCyclone yes they did an excellent job and even called after to come and fix it for free WOW that's mind-blowing for sure!! We had already fixed it I really think that new roof had a whole lot with saving the mobile home. I saw many homes with bad roofs prior to hurricane Ida and were completely destroyed and these homes were all les than 1 mile from my mobile home
@@tvold9204 yes it's a nightmare most people are still homeless. The brick and well made homes on either side and in front and back of my mobile home trailer all were completely destroyed expect for my trailer it makes no sense and it's really weird how that can be possible im still in shock. Many people aren't coming back its sad because this is the seafood industry where all of the best like shrimp oysters etc but ??
I'm from ascension we stayed at home to ride it out the wind was horrible by me I watched the metal shed behind us lift off the ground and move 2 ft and a tree went through our garage. Everytime my mil would open the you could hear the windows flexing from the pressure
The storm was actually extratropical and therefore not a hurricane by the time it reached Ireland, where wind gusts of over 100 mph were reported. Highest sustained wind there was mid category one range and fairly localized.
Why didn't the owners of the hotel attempt to board up the windows to the hotel? I just received the notification of this video from @UA-cam and said to myself I have to watch it. I watched several hours of videos from some #Texas and #NewOrleans TV stations and it was very bad over there in #Louisiana southwest of #NewOrleans. I never lost power during #Ida over here in #Biloxi.
First time viewing this! You caught our little donut shop in there! I’m glad you were in a different location other than Barrow street. I rode out the following day to where a lot of this footage was taken. Heartbreaking! 💔 That was a monster of a storm that took forever to pass thru!!! Great footage!
@@iCyclone We are still not open because although the building looks good, the roof is another story. Hoping all repairs are completed soon so we can finally reopen. Thank you for asking!
@@wendypicou8503 Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. I noticed that kind of thing here in Bay St. Louis after ZETA: a lot of houses and buildings looked OK on casual glance but actually had real roof damage. I hope you reopen fast! 👊
Dude I rode this bad boy out in Galliano/Golden Meadow, LA. Six days no water and 30 days no power. Was an absolutely amazing storm. Next time you can come to my place Josh, it’s a bomb shelter.
30 days no power 6 days no water ? Wow. That’s bad. I had superstorm Sandy here in nj a few yrs ago. I was out of power for 7 days and I thought that was bad.
Well this video was recorded in Houma, which didnt get hit quite as hard as your area, so if you feel that the wind in the video didnt match what you saw in person, thats why. Also, i wasnt there, but i watched the worst of the storm on a live cam in Golden Meadow. The wind ripped a gas station apart and sent metal flying past the camera. It lasted for hours as well. Absoloutely incredible!
@@jambalayajake8522 Considering how much stronger Katrina was I'm quite surprised to see that Katrina actually took less time haha. I rode Irma out just east of it's final landfall point and lost water for a long time. You can't shower or wash things or anything!
I live close to Houma and this storm really messed stuff up, we still recovering, we got lights but the debris and etc still hasn’t been cleared up to good yet and a lot of ppl jobless and homeless, it’s all bad man. The weeks following with no lights was hell, cause it was hella hot. Took damn near a month to get lights back, out Internet services are still bad and etc I can go onnn and oooonnn but y’all get the idea
@@someone_wholikeswinter Grace was his first chase this year in 2 stages , then after Grace , Ida was formed in the same month , it was the second chase . After these two chases , he took a break and went to Mexico again , only this time for Pacific Hurricane Olaf . So he was chasing Grace , maybe the video will be released at the end of the year .
Awesome video! I have to ask, what hurricane would you compare the strength of the eyewall winds too? Also did this feel more or less intense than the NHC intensity when it made landfall?
Well where Josh was in this particular storm was more category 3 than 4. The Category 4 winds were on the eastern side of the eyewall. Although he has been in 7 cat 5s I think he only saw sustained cat 5 winds twice. Those two would be Haiyan and Dorian.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 Probably true? Maybe in Mangkhut. It's hard to tell with those nighttime hurricanes. I agree with this, I watched Golden Meadow, LaPlace, and Houma live and I have to say, the first two definitely had stronger wind. What amazed me is how strong the winds were in LaPlace! I personally think IDA stayed cat 4 a little longer than NHC had it officially just due to the live feed I saw in IDA from LaPlace. Combined with that huge lake surge, which reduced friction, and it created some insane winds. I would say Houma got category three conditions.
My brother never evacuated Houma for hurricanes. He went through Hurricane Ida and the Roof blew off part of the building he was in with flooding downstairs. There was no water or electricity available except where businesses had generators.
Hey Josh, I’m not sure if you’ve seen this or not but a new hurricane popped up on radar it’s name is Hurricane Pamela radar shows it’s heading straight for Mexico. They’re predicting that it’ll be a category 2 at landfall. Are you going to chase it?
ima be honest, the outer eyewall seemed a lot like something you'd see in the midwest, with the light to medium rain and gusty winds. Except the duration
I stayed for the storm. I literally had to watch a whole roof came on done.After the storm I literally was in tears.🥺🥺 Our town was badly destroyed. I'm from Houma LA🟥🟨
You should have drove further south. We had to evacuate the house we were in during the storm bc the roof flew completely off. There are 1000s like that in the bayou community and still are like that today. People are still sleeping in tents out here. Its incredibly sad 😥
Great video Josh, love the new longer format too!
I’m in California and this chance of this happening Is the lowest it’s ever been

Combined with that huge lake surge, which reduced friction, and it created some insane winds.
I would say Houma got category three conditions.
@@tvold9204 I’d say you are right. With Irma what do you think you got in your location. Where I am in Pinellas minimal category 1 winds.
My brother never evacuated Houma for hurricanes. He went through Hurricane Ida and the Roof blew off part of the building he was in with flooding downstairs. There was no water or electricity available except where businesses had generators.
Wow great video your super good at making these video's and posting them, Super brave!
I Hate Hurricanes They Always Ruining Our Vacations
Sorry about that
I love watching these types of videos,
Please upload More like this :)
Another great video, stay safe out there
Great footage as always, but you should probably invest in some better audio recording options
No hurricane impact windows at that hotel?
Category 5 Hurricanes are Very Rare these days, and that's a good thing
More and more have appeared. Especially category 4 hurricanes. I think Ida is the 4th major hurricane to impact Louisiana from last year and now.
Of course hurricane Michael in 2018 was the most recent U.S category 5 landfalling hurricane
1030 hours sunday 31st october 2021 - thanks for the show my handsome xxx.X. AMEN xxx.X. yours SO-KUEN xxx.X.
Good video as always Josh!👏👏
Now that's a Category 4
the winds in the video probably werent cat 4 because this was the SW quadrant and that was the weakest out of the eye wall.
Hey Josh, I’m not sure if you’ve seen this or not but a new hurricane popped up on radar it’s name is Hurricane Pamela radar shows it’s heading straight for Mexico. They’re predicting that it’ll be a category 2 at landfall. Are you going to chase it?
I love this man
Hi again
ima be honest, the outer eyewall seemed a lot like something you'd see in the midwest, with the light to medium rain and gusty winds. Except the duration
Wow that Chevron gas station looks like a bomb went off.
I stayed for the storm. I literally had to watch a whole roof came on done.After the storm I literally was in tears.🥺🥺 Our town was badly destroyed. I'm from Houma LA🟥🟨
This hurricane had a lot of similarities to Katrina, mainly because of its route.
Hope RJ and Jay Paul are alright. They are in swamp people and that is where they live. God bless the people who persevered thru the storm!!!!
Awesome footage Sir!
Josh you will come to Sinaloa to receive Hurricane Pamela? it was reported that it will be category 3
Sí. Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. I post about my plans nonstop!
Thanks Josh from Havana, Cuba
How the hell are you commenting on this video.
Do they let people use UA-cam in Cuba?
@@tvold9204 Yes, I have internet in my cellphone in Cuba, now l living in puerto rico
great video josh love it
Just like I was waiting for you to chase after C4 Hurricane Ida.
I hope u reach 100k This month :)
You should have drove further south. We had to evacuate the house we were in during the storm bc the roof flew completely off. There are 1000s like that in the bayou community and still are like that today. People are still sleeping in tents out here. Its incredibly sad 😥
These videos would be so much better without the logos and icons plastered over a large area of the screen.. it’s distracting!
Sorry-- I have to have that stuff or people steal the content.
I love your videos
bellissimo video 👍👍👍
