- iCyclone's Hurricane Michael Chase: Intense footage from the violent inner core and eye of Category-5 Michael at ground zero: Callaway, Florida.
This storm will be fully explored in my new TV show, Hurricane Man. Produced by ScreenDog Productions, it will be the definitive hurricane series, coming out in 2019 on Dave and UKTV Play in the United Kingdom, and being distributed by BBC Studios for the rest of the world.

This was a violent, violent hurricane. 2018 was pissed that forecasters lowered their predictions for the season and pulled no punches.
Incredible footage.
Thanks so much.
@@iCyclone I wish I would have been there chasing it.
At first it was only support to be a high category-2 or a low category-3
@@iCycloneby the iam a huge fan and also you earned a new sub
Strongest winds I have witnessed personally was around 90-100mph during a very violent microburst in Arizona, a few years ago. The force of wind that fast is absolutely biblical, but I can't imagine the raw terror and force that 155 or higher like Michael had.
incredible footage from one of the most hardcore hurricane chasers out there, well done!
Alex Lubbers Thanks so much, Alex!! Really appreciate that.
But where they were the wind was probably like 130 sustained.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 yeah because that's so much more tolerable? Even sustained 120 with 155 gusts is gonna wreak havok. Don't be a jerk and downplay the power this storm had.
@@laurendebruijn2325 I wish I could have been in Callaway or Parker during this. Always wanted to see the eye of a cat 5. Ah well hopefully I will get another chance someday. And Im doing it this time live or die. And yes sustained winds of 130 is very destructive. But you have anger management issues as I was just stating a scientific fact.
@@laurendebruijn2325 Lady I dont know what the hell is your problem but I was just stating a scientific fact. You are very rude but oh well.
Of course the one named after me is the crazy one
Same. Fits perfectly
Wow I never knew you were angry at Florida😂😱
There will never be another hurricane named Michael ever again.
@@SouthChineseTiger No, there will not be
Me too
Outstanding footage, Josh! It was a perfect full-daytime interception of a truly extreme storm. Looking forward to see Hurricane Man.
Man, I am *so* glad that we in UK, being surrounded by the cooler water of the North Atlantic do not get these monsters rattling through. We get the "tail-ends", hurricane remnants with (to us) strong winds (but *nothing* like this) and rain. What you videoed on this was INSANE. Thank you for posting it- stay safe.
Thanks so much, Stephen. And, yeah, you're exactly right: the culprit behind these beasts is the warm water.
True
@iCyclone yoo i am fan of you
This cyclone remember me Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. Same sustained winds higher gusts, lots distructions, trees shaved.... And amazing film of the eyewall view from ground to sky.
DUDE, I WAS SO SURE YOU WERE GONNA BE THERE!!!
Me to
Wow.....I have no words for what I just saw.
Except "JESUS CHRIST"
Neither do i
I lived through it
That's the terrifying and impressive power of a Category 5 for you.
@@ssgjulian1110 The winds here were not Category 5. You had to go to Mexico Beach for that.
That scene at 3:46 is something else! Not many shots from that height in this hurricane so great work on that idea to get footage from up there.
DAAAMMMN! That was an angry eyewall of Hurricane Michael! It left massive devastation in it’s wake in Florida. Nobody should be near the glass doors or tape the windows. They put their lives in extreme risk. Excellent work capturing the Category 5 storm safely josh! What a fierce onslaught from Michael! It was like all hell broke lose! 🌀
I live in Florida, and i'll never forget the day it hit, we were very fortunate, and we were lucky no kids were at any schools that day, but it was just, i'll never forget it.
I wish I would have gone to Callaway myself. It would have been my first real chase. Im livid I missed it.
Great video! Those that do not live on the coast can get a real idea of what these storms are like.
Once again Josh, great work. Keep safe!
Forgot to mention, watching from Australia :)
Recently found your channel and I’m impressed with all your footage. I will say that I think this storm deserves more than a 5 minute video. This storm was an amazing hurricane.
Im from Puerto Rico and I subscribed when I saw your vid about Hurricane María, I was there too like 15 miles away from Humacao. All your content is great!! Would love to do that myself one day.
What town?

That was absolutely incredible. Thank you for getting this footage.. I was in Cat 5 cyclone Yasi in Australia and this violent hurricane reminded me of it.
Tracy was very bad too in Queensland
I wasn’t alive for that but that would have been terrifying
Tracy was only about 5 or 6 years ago
Kevin Clements Tracy was in 1974 Yasi was in 2011
Just so you know, Yasi was a Category 3 during landfall
0:54 That guy got really lucky
Absolutely amazing footage Josh! Your videos are Awsome :)
Sure looked quite scary at some points,glad you made it out alright.
You are amazing at your job and I inspire to be like you someday (maybe when i retire)
Incredible footage! Thank you for posting. Glad you are safe! Horrible destruction there.
This is amazing Hurricane footage.
Finally you made another one! I’ve been waiting for over a year now!
Geez! This is so insane. I hate that this storm is kind of "the forgotten" storm. This is devastating
Good video. I was waiting for it
Wow wow wow,this is one of the most powerful tropical cyclone's!
What can I say, amazing bro. Since I was a child (8-9 yo) I've been a fan of hurricanes and of course, of your videos (I'm 22 now).
Greetings from Ecuador
Muchas gracias, Ricardo. I really appreciate that. 👊
The power of rapid intensification! What a fierce storm. The 4th strongest storm in terms of wind in the US, only the three cat5's were stronger. Maybe hurricane Charlie in 2004 and Carla in 1961 were close to Michael. Amazing work! Curious to see HurricaneMan.
arcane35 I’m sure you have already heard but it’s called a cat 5 now
God the memories of the sounds. I live in Panama City and I was here for the hurricane. I've never in my life been so scared. This video is intense......
Woah! This one always hits me just a bit harder as we see a lot more debris flying about than in quite a few of your videos (which I'm upset I only found today!). That noise too - it's quite unearthly. Thank you for all your hard work and bravery 😊😊💖
Man i just live for this type of weather lol. The power of nature never ceases to amaze. I need to watch more footage of this hurricane.
We should get some later this year. If I would have to do it all over again I would have gone to Callaway maybe a little east of here and rode it out in the car. I hope there is a similar storm soon. Do you agree?
Been a while. Scary stuff! Thanks for sharing.
I still think that Michael managed to reach Category 5 and made landfall at that intensity. What do you think? And you Josh
Definitely possible. Curious to see what they decide in postanalysis.
Extremely strong 4 or 5 doesn't matter, what is important is that over the last 2 years more & more storms are reaching this threshold and even climate deniers have to be wondering....
@@miamidolphinsfan Indeed.
@@miamidolphinsfan I live in Puerto Rico and last year we received almost 2 cat5 hurricanes. One was Irma who we only got tropical storm winds because it didn't enter and then a week later we got Maria also cat 5 and this one did enter. We didn't get a hurricane since georges in 1998 and that was a cat 3. After that it was rare for hurricanes to form here specialy from those categories and now they just form like its nothing.
absolutely, Look how well formed the eye became and how fast the speed got just as it hit us. lived in Florida all my life and NEVER been threw ANYTHING like that. The difference between a strong Cat 3 and that THING was unreal
I KNEW HE WOULD MAKE MORE VIDEOS by the way I was affected by this storm in Crystal River FLorida
Man. It hurts to see this in 2020 knowing that i went through the very same Hurricane. It was devastating and absolutely terrifying to my family and i. We hunkered down in my father's work place as we heard everything being torn apart. After it was done we tried our best to get home and didn't get back until sundown. Had to run most of the way back to our house (which we were so thankful it was okay.) This Hurricane still haunts me to this day and always will for the rest of my life.
Bro the scary howling of hurricane michael was terrifying
I have been waiting for this video...👌🏾
I thought Michael was devastating which is was but compared to Dorian, it makes it's it look like nothing.
Dorian's impact on the Bahamas(from the pictures I've seen) made this look like it wasn't even worth calling in sick for.
Dorian barely missed me in Florida
@@janeth-lange9038 I'm in Central Texas so thankfully, I get to keep up with these from a safe distance
@@HistoryNerd808 wow u know How Doroan was supposed to hit West Palm Beach? IM IN WEST PALM and I was so relieved when it went straight up north skimming the coast and not impacting me at all. Was Harvey near u then? It was near my Brother and sister
@@janeth-lange9038 Houston's on the Gulf Coast. Quite a ways from me, thankfully.
Crazy footage 😲😲
Amazing footage! Jealous i wasn't there 😢
I will never forget the jet engine sound and the overwhelming smell of fresh pine in the air from huge pine trees snapping in half during hurricane Michael.
My family went through this Monster Hurricane Michael it destroy our county I born and raised here and I have never seen a storm so bad iny Life like Hurricane Michael Hope I never go through anything like that ever again
That was very INTENSE hurricane on 2018. But great video Josh!
Definitely winds up to 170-195 mph with this storm this storm was the strongest hurricane ever
Wrong.
Brilliant footage as always! Cool to hear about your new TV show.
I like these videos about hurricanes.
che immagini fantastiche, che definizione, sembra di essere lì, appena parte il video ti vengono i brividi di freddo come se stessi lì, sei un grande 👍👍👍
New tv show!!!!! No wayyyy!!!
Woooo
Wow!! Crazy amount of destruction.
Oh, hey! :) Excited you're back in L.A.!
Yes It was Extrime
I want to be like you one day. Chase storms and capture the worst of the worst for the audience. YOu are basically and inspiration. Thank you for risking your life to chase these extreme hurricanes for us. One day i will try to be like you man. SInce i live in CT and im only 15 it's hard for me to capture big storms. But when i grow up and get a car I will vlog and travel also.
Wow. Thank you so much. I am so honored to inspire you. 🙂 I remember being 15 and living on Long Island, and yearning to be in bad storms. In a few years, you'll be an adult and you'll be able to do it, too. Follow your dreams, man. 👊 Thanks for this nice comment.
Michael was a ferocious storm.
I was in Panama City beach Florida when the hurricane hit...many homes were damaged and wiped away (including mine) I was so scared that day.When the hurricane hit all you could hear was the loud screaming of the storm,banging from the medal hitting my shelter,things being thrown around...it was so scary,I was just in shock after going outside and seeing everything gone...we couldn’t get through to my house at all...we couldn’t find my dad (we found him) when everything was cleared so I can get to my house everything was gone...my room the roof fell in my house,mold,water inside, but my dogs survived...I’m still traumatized till this day thank you everyone for your help❤️
0:19 is it me or this part was satisfying
It was
October 28, 2018_ I heard that scream at 1:01... That really made me cry...😪😥😭😢
Adam St.Martin that was the wind whistling through the doors
How did you survived all of that MESS SPECIALY THAT HURRICANE
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! FIRST!
Wow, Amazing job!👍
Yeah
It was a cat 5 at landfall
This footage is Extreme
Truly extreme to see the devastation from the front of the hotel lobby. Just an insanely overpowered storm!
When I look at the hurricane it looks like a smile like this :)🌀
Been a long time Josh. Its jason from oz. That one was definitely up there for intensity
Jase The Ace Oh hey! What a cool surprise this is! How've you been?
Absolutely insane! This has to rank in the #HurricaneMan top 5.

Amazing footage Josh! I’m eating Mint chocolate ice cream while watching this video!
i actually read the official report where they upgraded it to a cat 5 and they were being fairly conservative when they decided it was _at least_ 160mph. its actually possible that it was 165 or more, but they didnt have as much data to reliably support those speeds. doesnt mean that it didnt reach those speeds, they just felt more comfortable with saying it was definitely at least 160 because they had more data to support that. and if you find it hard to believe that it could accelerate so quickly, just look more closely at that satelite clip at the start of this video. you can see just how quickly the spin suddenly accelerates after the eye becomes a uniform circle, right before landfall. the acceleration that occurs at that moment is actually clearly visible and pretty dramatic. and this seems to be pretty typical behavior with category 5's from what i've seen over the past couple of decades. usually when a storm reaches cat5 strength and becomes annular, they dont tend to spend a lot of time at 160 or 165 mph, instead the wind speed quickly jumps straight up to 175 - 185 mph and holds it there untill something happens to destabilize the spin and it loses its uniform shape (usually an ERC or some dry air). had michael not been coming ashore at that time, i have no doubt it would have rapidly strengthened to 175+ mph by the end of that day.
Oh yes. They just upgraded Ian the other day even tho recon easily found cat5 winds hours before landfall and even a 212mph gust at like 2k ft high.
You nailed it, when these cat 5s hit at peak intensity they do so much more intense damage. Michael’s satellite loop looks every bit as impressive as 175mph hurricanes we’ve seen in recent years. I’d bet that Michael was really 170+.
Fort Myers beach and Sanibel island were destroyed but nothing like what happened in Mexico beach during Michael. Look how thick and powerful that eyewall is at landfall. It leveled a lot of trees like an ef3 tornado for miles inland.
@@lordmatthewanunnahybrid1356 No sustained winds were
Wow
INSANE footage this is the best!
Amazing!
that s crazy man!
I experienced so many european windstorms with those winds i think but not like this damage wow
Ender_Nether Thanks! I think the winds in this hurricane-- sustained at 135 knots (155 mph) with higher gusts--- were much stronger than what you'd get in any kind of mid-latitude storm.
@@iCycloneoh jeez, now that I look at this comment 4 years later and the others on your channel... I was overexaggurating a lot, I was a kid anyway 😃 I apologize for my younger self, and you are right, yes.
Keep up the great work tho! 😁
Thanks for chasing hurricane Michael I'm LIAMNC And you look so hansum
intense... wish you were also in Typhoon Yutu in the mariana islands!Keep up the good hurricane hunting
I was in florida the exact same year this beast occurred.. I am so lucky to it to have not effected me.
3:50 This part of Florida had some great trees. Thousands of square miles devastated! A lot were crops, grown for the paper industry. But, there were also great forests of old growth oak and magnolia. Very few survived in the strike zone, those that did were mauled, denuded, stripped of major branches. To me, as a resident, that is the saddest thing.
With so many landmarks destroyed (including the trees), it took a while to get used to navigating around the east side of town.
Amazing Footage Josh!
Note to self- never be in a hotel during a hurricane
It is a pretty safe place to be. However do not park under an awning.
I remember it coming though our area with really bad like 60+ mile an hour winds and I lived in a place we’re hurricanes don’t come through normally so.. I thought my window were gonna bust open because they keep shaking so hard. I was scared to death that whole night but what y’all got was 20xs worse. Hurricanes are scary man.
Nissa what a strong Hurricane 😱 i fell scared Just watching this video
WOW! That was intense! You're a brave soul.
Damn, I would really love to experience one of these one day!
This is a great footage.
This is scary. Thank Goodness you did not have a big storm surge, though, that is the most dangerous aspect of a hurricane.
Michael Jackson’s moon walk was too powerful from heaven that it created a hurricane
Me and my family sat in our mobile home during this storm and we were out of power for like 2 months and the Florida panhandle lost over a million trees
How your mobile home didn't get flipped with this winds?
Michael roar loolks like a whistle when u was in the window
WOW! THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! I've seen tornados that were less destructive than that.
This might sound weird But I love Hurricane . it just amazed me how much of speed winds can go up to lol love when they pass in the day time not at nights .
I feel the exact same way. Hope there is another Michael type storm on the US coast so I can chase it. Take care.
Amazing job my friend!
amazing 😍mother nature is so powerful
1:00 hurricane Michael had no chill
My first hurricane
I wish I could be in the eyewall of this hurricane. It's gonna be paced with punch.
I couldn't breath the whole time. Holy hell. 😱
Why not? Do you have ashma?
Great footage
1:02 terrifying scream
I actually forgot about michael
Today marks 1 day before this storm makes landfall a monster cat 5 hurricane that wiped out mexico beach and blasted the Florida panhandling to this day Mexico beach has never fully recovered
We have a condo down there in the west side of cob or so in inlet/carillon beach, but dam...you always see the website and it’s so pretty sweet and calm or so, then you see this shhht😦😦😦🤯🤯🤯
1:01 was Ian's winds in Florida
It’s crazy how news reporters have such a small warning for this massive hurrricane
So how does Michael rank against Haiyan? Keep in mind you were on Michael's weaker left side as opposed to Haiyan's stronger northern quadrant; however, you were on the outer parameter of Michael's eyewall, which I do not believe was the case of Haiyan.
