Call 911 and, sorry, no help? YOU WERE WARNED!!
I can’t believe Mark survived being out in the open water of Galveston Bay.
Back in 1996, I went deep-sea fishing with my father and some friends off of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Our friends had a house on the beach and I was standing out on the porch talking to one of them. They pointed to a empty lot and said that there used to be a house there. Hurricane Hugo took it out. I was like “wow.”
Some people have nowhere to go asshole
Dude... If you have gone through several hurricanes before... How do you not know that if you don't evacuate when told to... That help won't come to you until the conditions are safe for the rescuers?! If you stay you are on your own for a while... 😅 Scary stuff for sure!
I never lived in the coast, ever. Galveston and the surrounding coastal areas had to evacuate. The only time Houston needed to evacuate is Category 3 and above. Ike was a 2. My area is not impacted as much flood wise. But during Harvey my area flooded but not to the point where we needed to evacuate. My dad said if we get a cat 3 to evacuate since Galveston is to our south and the ship channel to the east of the city. And we are inland, we are an hour from Galveston the coast.
@@teyjanetroman85 Hurricane Ike was not a two it was a category 4 basically a five in everything but wind speed I don't know why they keep getting this wrong I remember it like it was yesterday I lived just north of Houston and can remember the news reports talking about how Hurricane Ike was a category 4 and everything but name
I was 18 years old at the time and I can remember our house being rocked by the winds and my mom freaking out because I refused to shelter with her because I wanted to sleep in my bed that youthful sense of invincibility I guess
@@teyjanetroman85 Yep, Ike was a strong Category 2 Hurricane. HOWEVER, it had characteristics of a Category 4 storm due to its large eyewall. That is what the weather stations said afterwards.
Yep. I'm a born and raised Houstonian. This storm came through my senior year in high school. I remember when the storm formed... I looked over at my older brother and said "that storm is hitting us". I was right. They changed the projected path sooooo many times, too.
When the professionals say to evacuate, they are not suggesting. People who ignore this and expect others to put their lives at risk to save them just don’t get it.
I wouldn’t let these people babysit my pet rock. Unbelievable!
Being a BOI myself, there's no, and I mean NO logical reason to take refuge in a structure over the Gulf of Mexico.
Officials told EVERYONE days before that if you decide to stay, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. Why should others risk their lives in 100+ mph wind and 16ft waves to rescue a moron who chose to stay on a pier of all things. Thats just flat-out ignorant.
I worked for an alarm monitoring company call center during hurricane Ike. I knew where it would make landfall and warned my customers there to drive northwestward and don't stop until you get to Waco. Some of them "braved the storm.". Most took my advice.
He didn’t lose everything he still kept his 50-year-old life
I live in Grt Cincinnati and Ike is the one that blew through here that Sunday with 85 mph winds and knocked power for the majority of the area for about 4 days. We were at a family reunion and the wind brought down massive sycamore tree that was probably a or 50+ feet tall. We all packed and left after that! We don’t usually get winds that high.
I just turned 23 in August 2008 and during Hurricane Ike, my mom, my little brother, and I we hunkered down at Doubletree Hotel at The Galleria in Houston at the time and I was watching the news coverage on the 15th floor and I remember watching the transformers blow and I could hear the howling winds my mom and brother stayed by the window with the curtains down and I stayed by the wall. The lights went off for awhile and it came back on because of a generator meanwhile the rest of the city was pitch black. I went through a lot of hurricanes since 1989, Hurricane Jerry when I was 4 I went through my 1st hurricane. My parents went through Alicia in 1983, hurricanes is nothing 2 play with. My dad told me if Houston goes through a 3-5 cat hurricane to evacuate. I also went through Allison in 2001 the med center was in ruins from the flooding. Either a Tropical Storm or Hurricane can throw a punch.
That’s terrifying. But the footage is insane.
I was an alarm technician at the time… 9 days or so after I was on the island, from Kemah to far west end… it was horrible.
I can’t even finish this- people like this seriously get no sympathy from me. Saying the weather was awesome, didn’t look like a hurricane was coming. MEANWHILE noaa and a thousand news stations and pro meteorologists are saying “Ike is coming, gtfo, 911 will not be able to help” and they’re like “meh, let’s go fish and chill”.
Hurricane Ike threw many local people "off" because they have all been through a Category 2 hurricane before. But Ike was different, due to its large eyewall - there was just simply more miles of wind-generating structures. In fact, the weather stations later said that Ike had characteristics of a Category 4 hurricane, even though it wasn't one.
@@KaleidoscopeMagic Ike was a cat 5, but had weakened and entered the gulf as a cat 1. The eyewall went over a lot of land, but the outer park of the storm stayed over water. It went into the gulf as a massive cat one and because it was so large it took time to get it strength back. The whole storm grew instead of just the winds near the eye. It ended up being a massive storm with a large wind field on both the east and west side of the storm. Ike was felt from Brookshire to Louisianan.
We don’t have the infrastructure for mass evacuations.
I was 18 years old in 2008 and I remember Ike like it was yesterday I'm pretty sure Ike was a category 4 hurricane almost a cat 5 when it landed because I can remember the news reports talking about how everything that Ike was bringing was Category 5 but the wind speeds were not maybe I don't remember correctly but things like this you remember vividly cuz I can even remember my mom freaking out because after they had all fallen asleep after Sheltering in place I slipped out and went back to my room and going to sleep in my bed because I wasn't worried that useful sense of invincibility I guess
I was 15 when Ike hit and I fell asleep too. I’m not really a sleepy person but for some reason that day I was extremely sleepy. My mom was mad and kept asking how could I sleep in a time like this 😂
Ike was a cat 5, but weakened before going into the Gulf. It kept its massive size as a cat 1. In the gulf it strengthened again. Because it was such a large storm the strengthening was slow and affected the whole storm instead of just the eyewall. The result was a massive windfield more like a category 5. Basically Ike was a Category 4 or 5, but lacked the max winds near the eyewall. Ike was also unique in that the west part of the storm was almost as wide as the east (dirty) side of the storm.
@@billybassman21Ike was actually a Category 4 at his peak.
I don't feel bad for Rebecca and her husband. They were warned, thoroughly, and still, they didn't leave. I do feel a little bit bad for Mark Davidson, just because his ordeal was so severe.
I remeber Ike. I live up in Northern Indiana and the remnants stalled over us. Flooded everything.
That dude is a beast!!!
This is somehow VHS powered
How foolish can you be to ignore evacuation warnings?! So ridiculously stupid. Ugh! Glad they're alive to learn their lesson lol🤷♀️
It's Texas, they live like they are on another planet. It's very strange they would willingly expose themselves to winds that will clearly destroy or flood your house.
This storm had almost 12 hours of storm surge.
Yeah, I wonder if they learned their lesson. I've met people like this who make the same kind of "mistake" more than once.
@Novice User that's exactly what I said we are nowhere near the coast. During a cat 3 or above that's when we would evacuate because the ship channel and Galveston's water. But like Allison, Ike didn't pack a punch as much as it did. Harvey was a meanace. He flooded the west section of the city, where it rarely floods.
@@lairdriver we Texans are notoriously tough and stubborn it's in our nature to be independent-minded and not freak out about things especially after Hurricane Rita was supposed to hit Houston and it didn't
I survived hurricane like and it was really bad the damage inland was devastating
You Stay, You PAY! Not as though you Weren't WARNED! SMH
There was a Typhoon Ike that was 6x more deadly than this.
What the hell kind of comment is this? It’s like a child saying my daddy is richer than yours. Does your comment matter? Human lives were lost you dolt.
this VHS tape is from 2009, I feel old... I remember when Ike struck 12 years ago, we didn't loose anything but our house got some physical damage but it was not that noticeable.
2:27 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A man of class
I bet you people will not try that shit again.
