Category 4 Hurricane Ian - Port Charlotte - Eyewall Footage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2022
- September 28th, 2022. Monster Hurricane Ian pulverized into the SW Coast of Florida. This is our footage from E. Port Charlotte area.
Once we went through the Nrn eyewall, the very edge of the massive eye came over us. We got in the car and went 7 miles SSE just past Punta Gorda to intercept the direct center of the eye. We then drove another 7 miles SSE to turn around where we got to shoot a time lapse transversing across the entire eye.
Once we got back to E Port Charlotte, the W and SW eyewall came through and it was a BEAST!
Thanks for watching and do what you can to help the people down there!
Update** Hurricane Ian was found to make landfall as a high-end 150 mph Category 4 hurricane but briefly reached Category 5 status just offshore with max sustained winds at 160 mph. - Наука та технологія
Kudos to whomever installed that has station cover. Those things usually going flying right away
You're right! That's actually pretty amazing in itself.
@@anniefannycharles9951 FL building codes probably had something to do with it staying up.
Well done Joey! Especially like the limited commentary. It gave a real sense that the viewer was actually there! (Glad I wasn't!)
Thank you! I was just the documenter here haha. Amazing power! I couldn't edit it down below 35 mins and you can see why!
Exactly.... the way you got behind a wall with no wind to catch this is amazing and very undervalued
Wahoo
It was good til he sat at a gas station for over half of the video. I'll never understand why these storm chasers do that.
@leaf After the eye, we stopped to take a few shots before heading back towards the hotel but the wind picked up so fast and debris started flying. It wasn’t safe to leave. Sorry for the inconvenience!
What a wild ride that was. Stayed for Charlie as a kid and Ian as an adult. I have to say I'm not staying for the next one but I'm coming back for the cleanup. Hurricanes can be some scary things, man.
I'm from Charlotte county and went through Charley and Ian too and like yourself, I'll never hang around for another one. That was absolute terror
@@knp72281 Only evacuate if you are in an evacuation zone. Did you think Charlie or Uan was stronger?
Good
Ppl who come back for clean up likes to steal people's stuff
@@jefffederer1807 That’s terrible. There should be extensive jail sentences for that.
North Port here. Thanks. I’ll never forget the horrible roaring.😢
We had a closing supposedly on Friday but house had damage and Sumter Blvd closed for days.....how bad was the flooding? With all the miscommunication we never bought the beautiful house...glad people are alive, storm was bad...we were in lake suzy and storm was relentless...stay safe.
Price st. had the worst flooding also Sumter too. All street signs, stop signs and traffic lights were lost. Widespread devastation to property.
@@Isabella.s414 we were going to buy on spring haven drive....am so upset....house not in flood zone but mayaka flooded so ....northport beautiful am so upset...prayers for all that you are ok....hang in there, you have each other.
Exactly❤️
I would of been terrified! Was a little afraid with the wind& rain we had.
We live about 10 miles north of this video in North Port. This video depicts what we watched for hours. Our yard was devastated, but the house was ok. It was so intense we had water blowing in around the exterior doors. As the sun started to go down the water started coming up. It was just a few inches from coming in the doors. The roar was deafening at times. We bought a house in North Carolina 2 months ago. We WILL be out of Florida before next hurricane season. Great video Joey.
This storm is likely to make many folks reconsider living in coastal/near coastal areas of FL.
I live in North Port too. That was the scariest storm ever! I live in a 3rd floor apartment I thought the was gonna blow away but it didn’t thank God!
Roof
I sure hope you pay your debt before you leave. Nothing is for free, my boy.
@@TCGreggy what debt are you talking about?
this is why I live up north. All we have, are occasional snow storms and a rare cat1 tornado. But this right here, was raw. You've got to have balls of steels to be recording this. We appreciate you, Joey.
“occasional snowstorms” i would say that’s damn near worse man fck the cold😂
I'd rather die than lube up north. It's horribly cold up there.
@@cheryljoseph2376 🤣it ain't that bad. And as a matter of fact, everytime we have a snow storm, everything's shut down (schools, public services and businesses), until cleanup is completed. The only downside is when you're caught outside your home.
I rather have the hurricanes living in the north east is horrible it’s the worst crime ever!
@@theo5675 i agree with you, ain’t no category on bangin cuh
Port Charlotte Florida here. This storm was like nothing I've ever seen before. I thought Charley was bad but this was something else😭
Reminds me of Katrina. South Mississippi here. Praying for everyone that went through this and all those that lost their lives. Also, the ones cleaning up and rebuilding. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Katrina was more stronger, isnt???
@@coldwindblowing Katrina made it to category 5 when it was out in the Gulf (175 mph winds I believe) but it weakened prior to landfall to a cat 3. So the winds over land were probably not quite as bad as in Ian, but because of all the time that Katrina spent pushing seawater at 175 mph on its way to the coast, it produced an incredible and unbelievably powerful storm surge of around 28 feet over Waveland, Mississippi. Ian's final peak storm surge value isn't official yet, but it seems that some portions of Fort Myers Beach may have gotten up to 15 feet of surge.
Yes worse 3 weeks of my life without power after Katrina
@@HeyChickens just want to point out that the reason the storm surge was that high in New Orleans was because most of the city was (or still is) under Sea Level.
cap , no one cares about Katrina
I’ve never seen a tree naturally lifted at it’s roots before, that’s freaky to see. This was a wild video. Thank you for sharing. I hope everyone that has been through this is doing better and that you’re getting the help you need ❤❤❤❤❤
I was in Deltona when this happened so I can say from Deltona through to Orlando then Tampa it was a large mix depending on the area, mine wasn't as bad I was on Deltona shore of lake Monroe thankfully the winds were going out to the lake instead of in but the Sanford area was hit hard because it was heading their so they had very very bad flooding and them and Deltona had bad power outages Orlando was hit hard not much known about it though and Tampa was the worst I heard from relative experience that ian had made roofs tear off and bad property destruction etc but during the storm I can say while I used a mp3 for radio while the power was out I can't tell you how many times the south of Florida was mentioned hope those people are ok but after the storm things got better, you could see lake Monroes water level change from before, during then after the storm I'm all new to these stuff I'm from Denver so Ian's my first and last hurricane I'll be in but thats my part from florida during ian hope i could give just a bit of insight
Saw it once when I was driving back around 8 at night. I live in Austin, Texas. Power went out because the lines were cut by the storm. The uprooted tree looked like a giant figure moving forward and then stooping over in the dark. It was scary.
You weren't too far from us, Circle K, we may had even driven by one another during Ian's eyewall break too. 😉 Had to evacuate my children to my parent's home; trusses snapped like toothpicks, our roof peeled back then collapsed, front doors blown open and shutters ripped off ect.
Wild ride Ian was. Survived Charley, Irma, Gloria, Michael and more...this beast, yes, more than anyone could anticipate.
Prayers and thoughts for everyone impacted and their beloved ones enduring. 🙏 🥰
so glad that y'all caught this storm in this area. I live about a mile or two from the hotel and gas station that you were at. 33952 ZIP.
got power back 10 days afterwards . Just started getting WiFi and internet yesterday. and it is spotty at best . But we are still in clean up mode .And things are starting to look better. The power of Mother Earth is Amazing Right??? 🌀🌀🌀
I was one block from you, that storm was an epic ride. You would not believe how much better everything looks already. Thanks for the awesome video!
21:30: Incredible footage! It's like being caught in a giant power wash. Glad you stayed safe while recording!
You were standing less than 3 miles from my home in Port Charlotte. I was on vacation out of state when Ian hit; fortunately my handyman put on the hurricane shutters and buttoned things up in time. The house came through with only some damage, for which I am grateful. Watching your video gave me a sense of what the house and my neighbors went through, and I am shocked. Thank you! So scary and sad for everyone in SWFL 😓💔
My house is just done the street from there off Peachland. Crazy to see people driving in that
Incredible footage!
Excellent footage. This was so incredible seeing it outside my windows in Cape Coral, just south of Punta Gorda. This was in the middle of the day! I will never forget the sounds. And It always saddens me to see a tree go down.
I rode it out by Burnt Store. I will never forget it either.
@@cdr-kg2nh I hope you weren't in a mobile home. 🙋
@@cdr-kg2nh my friend and I stayed it out at my home in placida. We got some of the worst of the storm. You think it's never going to stop. It was absolutely relentless. My friends asked me if I would stay for the next one. My answer is, perhaps I would if it wasn't for the aftermath. After the Storm with no electricity water & the helplessness you feel after it was something else ! Our area had never experienced storm in all the years I've been here 28 years, except for Charlie which was nothing compared to this one.
That was so intense between 20:00 - 30:00 minutes it was so relentlessly furious.You are one brave soul to get this footage!
I'm only at 9 minutes and it's horrible!
one of the "best" hurricane vids ive ever seen. Hope your family didnt lose much. Stay safe.
To think this video is half an hour long and for us here in SWFL this went on all day and well into the night. My husband and I rode out Ian on our boat out on a mooring and we just prayed all day for the winds to stop 😫
Great footage. As a Miami native I have been through a few storms. Andrew, Wilma, Irma to name a few. This Ian was worse than Andrew even. I have said in other Ian videos, if the winds push down those Royal Palms down, it is a serious storm. The trunks of those trees are like concrete poles. Huge root ball and tap root super thick and deep. Takes a lot to get one of those trees to topple over.
I've had families who lived in Homestead and Miami Florida tell me that Andrew 1992 was worse.
@@EverydayAdventures123 Agreed. I went through Andrew, it was worse. It literally obliterated everything on the landscape for miles. Ian left buildings, street signs intact. Andrew was by far more devastating.
@@niccidee782 it's hard to really compare. the Building codes back in 1992 had to be changed because of Andrew. Had Andrew hit today with the building codes enforced that he created, it might have been similar damage. Andrew didn't have much a surge as this one did which is why in the end more destruction will be caused by Ian than Andrew
Miami didn't get the full brunt of Andrew, so the eyewall of Ian certainly could have been worse than what you got in Miami with Andrew. For Homestead area though, a completely different story. The damage left in that area, regardless of less strict building codes at that time, was absolutely astonishing. These yellow pines down here in s FL are incredibly strong, and even with the insane 150+ mph gusts with Ian, the vast majority of them only lost branches. After Andrew, there were entire pine forests mowed down and turned into toothpicks, snapped about halfway down the tree or at the trunk, 99 out of a 100. Yes building codes have helped tremendously to lessen the damage to structures from these major hurricanes since Andrew, but trees will always be trees. Andrew is, by wind damage signature left behind upon a significant square mile area, probably the second worst hurricane to ever hit US mainland, behind only the 1935 Labor day hurricane that hit the Keys with wind gusts probably over 240 mph. Some of Andrew's wind gusts in the Cutler Ridge area were estimated to have reached around 200 mph!!! That is completely unheard of over land here in the mainland US outside of tornadoes.
@@HeyChickens True. :)
A real bird's eye view of the power of a hurricane. Glad you made it to safety. Hopefully enough people will watch this and get outta Dodge when the warnings come. Be safe, and thanks for the upload.
Moved to North Port in 2019... What a first Hurricane to stay for lol It was amazing seeing how communities came together the next morning.
I live just a few blocks from where this was filmed! In the eyeball for hours. Was here for Charley and that was scary as well, but was over quicker. Ian felt like it was never going to end. What a difference shutters made. We had none for Charley and my home got destroyed. This time even though we get a lot of damage we're able to still live in our home. Time to cross this crap OFF my bucket list!
Went thru Charley myself, right off Easy St. This one my place is in the Cape but Wednesday I high-tailed it to Bonita. Just got back last week after power came back.
I live in North Port and stayed home for Ian, but I am not staying home for the next one. I was scared the whole time. Ian was a lot more scary then Irma.
INTENCE FOOTAGE!! WOW! Well done. 👍✌
Thank you! I was just the documenter haha
@@JoeyKrastel Humble respone Joey; Ian really let us know we cant control everything. Glad you are safe! New sub. Thx for having me. Blessings
Intense*
Thank you for your coverage
Wow that was insane winds 😨 like a never ending tornado 🌪️
Feel bad for everyone I don’t know what I would do most properties could not survive those winds and water!
But that was some top quality footage deserves way more views I loved it 🤩💯
Thanks Joey, this is my neighborhood. What a ride that 9 1/2 hours was!
Probably one of the best videos of this hurricane, good job! 👌
Lived in Fort Myers for 25 years. Ian was the most intense storm I've seen here. And it was relentless. 8 hours of hurricane force winds and 6 hours of 100+ winds. The scope of damage is unbelievable.
Me too...I live in Jacksonville now and I could not believe...could not believe IT...I also remember the "no name" storm..when the Callosahatachi came down Palm Beach Blvd and graced our back ally with a huge boat with our house in Providence Street surrounded with water and could not even see where our pool was...this is awful 😞 hope u and family r ok.
My daughter ...FMB..called said..mom my house is surrounded by ocean... terrifying....but we Florida lovers will rebuild... Florida's been good to us...God bless.....
Yes, most of the country doesn't understand how long it hovered over us.
😢😢😅 9:14 9:14
Idalia must’ve hit bad then
I live about 2 miles from where this footage was taken. This is pretty much what I saw when I looked out my front door.
I work in Charlotte County and Ian's damage is everywhere and not going away anytime soon. It's gonna be months until it's cleaned up and 🌀 season is little over 7 months away.
Great footage!
One of the greatest videos ive ever seen. Awesome stuff.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed!
Bob in Michigan GREAT VIDEO. Luckily I'm in Michigan, but I have a mobile home in Englewood that I spend time at in the winter. In 2004 (Hurricane Charlie) the winds were pretty bad but there was no damage to my mobile. Just small damage in my mobile home park. This hurricane was 6 or 7 times bigger and I have lots of damage to the mobile but it's still standing -- but some mobiles in my park got totally destroyed. Ian was just so big and slow moving that it was orders of magnitude worse and may set a new "standard" for Florida hurricanes -- with storm surge that hardly anyone had ever seen before and was the big factor in most of the 100+ deaths. And the rain it dumped (15 to 20 inches) as it went across the state caused enormous damage all the way to Daytona Beach.
Brave souls!!
Wow what footage. Had chills watching and would not want to be in the hurricane.
Great job !
I'm in. Port Charlotte and Ian was a biggie. Loaned out one of my generators and repaired many for neighbors. My house has roof damage but no leaks. Minor soffit damage. I should teach a class how to care for your generators and how to safely connect them. You got the best video out there.
I'm so glad you captured the intensity of the 2nd half of the eyewall which really was strongest north of Punta Gorda into Port Charlotte, Arcadia, Englewood and North Port as your radar shows. Most storm chasers only broadcast the first half, which was indeed ferocious but not as bad and long lasting as that 2nd half. It was relentless. I was down the road off Peachland Blvd and Northview in Port Charlotte. Punta Gorda (as your radar indicated) was spared the fury of the intense winds although it was devastating nonetheless. Port Charlotte, Arcadia and North Port got the worst of that northern eyewall and rain. Notice how the same 1st half came back in on itself and became the 2nd half of the storm on the radar? Although we were spared the crazy storm surge, south of us in Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Naples got that incoming water which unfortunately destroyed many homes.
I live in Cape Coral, Lee County. Unbelievable power. And where did I hear that the 2nd part of a hurricane (after the eye passes) is not as strong as the first half??!! BALONEY!
The second part of the eye was so much worse in Burnt Store marina area. Winds came in reverse and hit so much harder.
@@anniefannycharles9951 ian was a different situation,ian was moving from the south west to northeast along with about 30kts of shear going in about the same direction,while slowing down,in situations like that the western half always tends to be the strongest,unlike normal situations
I live about 5 minutes from this gas station! Awesome footage! You're brave.
This is awesome footage 👏 good operator said Mr. George
I've been through some storms but not like this, the wind was relentless. That the awning over the gas pumps survived at all is astounding, I kept waiting for it to go. I've lost everything to a storm related flash flood years ago, in the end whether it's the wind, the water, fire, it's all devastating. But, as I learned from my own losses, the sun will rise again despite how strong the storm, the important thing is keeping people safe while the storm rages. Glad you are safe, and thanks for the amazing footage. (btw, and off-topic, but this just happened to be my birthday, 9-28, a terrible gift if you ask me)
Absolutely INSANE footage, Joey!!! IAN was truly a monster. It must have been unbelievable standing out in that and trying to film?!? I'm just surprised the gas station canopy stayed (mostly) in place. Lol
Thanks Michael! It’s a rush to say the least as you well know haha. The only reason we were able to was the structure of the building we were against. If it weren’t for that, we would’ve been inside for sure. (But then again we did get trapped at the gas station location haha) hopefully we run into each other on the next one!
I live right across the street from this gas station at Charlotte Commons. Right by the hotel you was at. This storm lasted for hours!
I live in Punta Gorda and was going to ride out the storm at home but when I saw it was coming straight here and had grown to a massive storm like Charley on major steroids with the accompanying roid rage I decided at the last minute to evacuate. At 10:30 that morning I went up to Arcadia, across to the top of Lake O then down to Clewiston where I rode out the storm with several hundred others in the Walmart parking lot. Then after the last of the storm passed came home in the pitch black, arriving back at about 4 am. Almost missed the exit at 17 because of no lights anywhere. Glad I missed the worst. My house has some damage but it will be fine...eventually.
Wow. When Mother Nature unleashes, she sure can be a force to be reckoned with. I live in Oceania and couldn’t imagine riding out something so fierce. Great video. Truly terrifying.
AMAZING VIDEO! It was so scary yet so powerful! You guys did a fantastic job capturing the Power of Ian!
He was a beast!
Out here in Rotonda West, 1 mile off the gulf. I dont care what anyone says this was a Cat 5.
Great video 😎
This is some great footage!
Pure raging eyewall winds
Thank you!
@@JoeyKrastel You're welcome :)
That seems to an absolute devastating form of nature and reading the comments section it seems that Hurricane last vers long unfortunately...Great work and daring to shoot this video...Prayers for all from India....🇮🇳
Dude crazy being outside !! Video you got !! Never risk your life for a Hurricane video
Object’s are like knives!! Water is called no way out!! I live on the Atlantic side we had 90 mile an hour winds here and I can tell you I would never have went outside
That Hurricane is named after me! That looks so scary to go through. May everyone rest in peace.
And that's the 'clean' side of the hurricane. But that side had ALL of the rain from Ian and those white out conditions were seriously brutal. Great dual graphics of the radar and video combo. I was on the 'dirty' side and the rain was minimal compared to this. Away from the coast 12 miles and we fared pretty well. Very heavy heartbreaking event for our area.
Rode the storm up just down the road in Deep Creek, did the same with Charley back in 2004. Scary stuff man, the eyewall literally was over us all day as oppose to like an hour or so with Charley? Miraculously the house is intact and we have power and internet back a lot faster than we did with Charley.
I lived in Port Charlotte for 30 years and went through Charley. During the pandemic I moved back to Michigan. Tonight for some reason I decided to look at footage of Ion on UA-cam. I remember all these places very well. I'm shocked and so very sad.
Really hopeful they bounced back very quickly!
Been through Katrina and Wilma when I lived in Ft Lauderdale. After moving to Tampa, I got to experience Irma, Ian, and Nicole.
I can't believe what you went through to make this video and if I could give you five Thumbs Up than I would, it's amazing that you didn't get blown over when much bigger things like the tree was blown over, or did you fall at some points but just edit those parts out? Amazing video dude, I appreciate the UA-camrs like yourself who film these videos first hand.
Luckily, we found some really sturdy structures to take shelter behind, otherwise, we wouldn't be outside (Don't try that at home!! lol). There was one part of the Northern Eyewall where we actually had to move and while I was running, a gust of wind hit me so hard from behind, it threw me onto a parked car and across the front hood. I was very lucky I didn't get hurt. It felt like I was just hit by a big wave at the beach.
@@JoeyKrastel We? Did you drive to this location? How did you make it here?
Great coverage!
Power is amazing. Reminds me of hurricane Donna when the eye. Passed over Daytona.
Great video because I live in Port Charlotte Florida and we really didn't get that much damage except for light post going down and trees getting rooted up from the ground other than that it's not as bad as Sanibel Marco and pine Island in fort Myers it's going to be a long road to recovery for those folks Rich folks matter of fact so I can't wait to see how it's going to look in the future God bless
I lived in a house just up the street from where you filming. The hurricane in itself was bad enough but the days following were complete chaos. No electricity, no phone service, people running out of gas and supplies, traffic bedlam, curfews. A complete nightmare.
Thank you for sharing that with us. After going through Michael in E Panama City, the curfews seem to make things much worse, especially immediately after the storm. No one knew anything, young kids were separated from their parents, there was no information, and it was awful to witness. Did you move away from the area?
@@JoeyKrastel yes we moved out of Florida completely, couldn’t go through that again. Your video was great btw. Be safe out there in the future.
Interesting differences in dynamics from the front half of the storm compared to the rear. I'm assuming as Ian was pushing into the cooler drier air to its north, the air injection caused some wind turbulence with height which made the front half gusty and drier than the catastrophic streamlined rear inflow from the 2nd half. What a ride that must of been. Great footage, but still can't come to close to experiencing it in real life. There's just something about the roar of a thousand pissed of fighter jets and feeling your lungs being deflated that adds a bit of a spice to the experience. If you know, you know...Take care all.
Thanks for sharing just be safe out there
😱😨😱!! BEST video I've seen showing the intense howling, relentless noise, the merciless pounding winds. I can barely watch it. I'm shocked the Wendy's sign was hanging in! In Orlando I've seen several signs blown out, just in this part of town, not to mention trees and many, many limbs down everywhere, and we didn't get anywhere near as high winds. Ian was generous in sharing the power outages and flooding with many all across Central Florida 😟.
Okey still AMAZED at your footage 😵
I'm going deaf so I didn't hear the "train" sound I have heard in previous hurricanes. I heard wind roaring and blowing but not that signature "train" sound. Can't say I missed it. We are in North Port. Had some damage from downed pine trees. Still no xfinity. I forgot all the sirens/ambulance/firetrucks! For a week! We had big storm surge, could only get to the RaceTrac with our kayaks for a week, too. Really good video.
Beautiful 🌀
8 miles from Ft. Myers Beach. I really thought I wasn't going to make. Praise God he was with me. And my dog in my mobil home.
Wow, I'm so glad you and your dog are okay! In a mobile home near Fort Myers Beach! You are lucky.
I lived in Florida and now living in California for the past 18 years all because of what you see here. Yes we have earhquake's here in California but the majority you hardly notice and very rare they are severe unlike places along the gulf coast or East Coast when it comes to hurricanes. No way on earth would I go back and live in Florida.
People have no clue unless you been through one it is 3 weeks of living hell
Port Charlotte resident.
Fort myers here, we got annihilated, and cape Coral, been going to cape for weeks to do work and help my boss rebuild his house
I always thought that there was clear blue sky in the eye, but noooooo!
This is the best of these videos I’ve seen so far and I’m glad you risked YOUR life so I could see this virtually first hand! For an entire week I was destined to watch it out my window. I live in St. Pete.
🌊 AT LAST, someone showing what it is like to go through a powerful hurricane !
I went through hurricane Andrew
in 1992, and it was very TRAUMATIC !
As for the storm NOT hitting Tampa,
It’s because steering currents DON’T
favor a direct. hit by a hurricane, in
that area. The same is true, for NE
Florida…
Yes and that gulf loop current tends to steer hurricanes easterly as they rapidly intensify. It would take a cat 3 hitting western Cuba going north north west to strengthen and turn into Tampa. I knew it was turning into fort myers as if left Cuba going due north. Reed timmer and other meteorologists knew it too but those computer models sure didn’t. We’re very fortunate here in St Pete/Tampa
There’s literally tons of videos before this that shows powerful hurricanes. Especially that one hurricane Dorian video
@@KoId. yes there's a video of the 185mph eyewall. It's absolutely insane.
how did you manage to remain so still....how were you mot blown away....absolutely mind blowing terrifying and everything else thrown in....wow! well done
Someone definitely shouldn’t be recording if their shaking and doing all that extra crap
The perfect storm chase 👍👌
Whatever company installed that Wendy’s sign did a good job!
Right? It's actually amazing
I’m so special 🎉🎉 Ian occasionally greeted Florida on my bday while I’m in Texas- LOL I see .. Sep 27 2022 ! Thats cool
Imagine what these fierce winds did to the airplanes and commercial jets sitting at the airport!!!
Most airlines flew the planes out from there
I was thinking the same thing.
Great video! I’am a weather freak and would have loved to be there filming. All though these winds are not sustained Category 4 winds.
wow that was crazy glad u made it through alright that was some crazy wind u could hear it so loud sheer destruction feel so bad for all that was affected by this massive storm
This was preety traumatic but I live in North Port and we got flooded in. My parents lived through Andrew in Miami and they said this was worse and it wasn't even a 5 like Andrew. Trying to sleep and constantly getting scared awake out of sleep due to the eerie sounds and banging and cracking was ridiculous. I was constantly pacing. Almost 8 hours of this was unbelievable
It’s okay, move to Washington state, Oregon or California
I went through a very strong Cat 4 in 1989, evacuated 60 miles inland to my relative's house in a small rural town and it hit there about 11pm and for the next four hours it was crazy, at first light we went outside. Utility poles, trees down everywhere, my cousin lost all the trees in her yard, she had a huge Pecan tree that just disappeared, they never located it. It's true what people say, it looks like a war zone. She had no power for six weeks. I felt for all the power crews and telephone company folks, they worked 24/7 for like two months straight. There's a lake also in the areas and they couldn't even reach them until the tree companies cleared the roads.
You were across the street from me for the eyewall!
That Wendy’s sign is the boss
Lol yes!
I’m in naples park and it look just like that here. We got the surge too. All of it was insane. Thinking of everyone affected
Great footage! Thank you for mostly not talking while filming this video. Some videos by others, are unwatchable because they are commenting and yelling at every gust…
Thanks for sharing this
Good footage, the radar track showed the eye closer to us in NW Cape Coral than I thought, we were right on the edge of the eastern wall. 73's, KF6TSD here.
Man what a capture great!
That just looks brutal😩😩thank you for putting yourself in danger to film this for us glad your ok! Great video but whoa brutal😢
This was interesting and terrifying to watch. Never experienced any thing like it.
Mother Nature’s very own Car Wash.
I am blessed to have not had damage to my home. But I was so scared when I had to hold my front door do fear the wind would take it. The power of Ian was overwhelming. God Bless all🙏
Wow, ain't mother nature, both beautiful and terrifying in the same instance. Absolutely amazing footage, and what a very brave camera man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
North Port here that is one scary hurricane especially when the wind blew my front door open. That was scary
Holly crap I thought it was bad in Sarasota! Great video Joey.
That Wendys sign though 😳😳😳 should say Windys after that 😅
Sick stuff
The northwest/west side seemed to be stronger than the traditionally stronger east side (wind speed/precip wise). I have noticed this being true with most storms that affect the Florida gulf/panhandle. I wonder if it is the angle of the landfall and/or the peninsula landmass to it's east affecting the circulation?? interesting
We noticed this during Michael as well. Precip is huge. If there is high precip rates, it allows the strong winds to mix down through to the surface. The back edge of Ian and Michael both had much heavier precip than the Ern and Nrn portions of the eyewalls, which is fascinating.
@@JoeyKrastel Def true. Michael had assymetric eyewalls but it also was moving at 17mph at landfall so it had some momentum enhancement with its winds to balance out the wind field a bit. Footage I’ve seen from Mexico beach looked as windy if not windier than the areas on the western side of the eyewall.
I was noticing this at the exact moment I looked down and saw your comment. It looks to me that they’re facing east. These guys knew how to pick this spot as if their life depended on it. Amazing footage- don’t move lol

Hi
Wow....right around the 11:00 mark you can see the fury of the storm ramping up. You step out in that and you're done. You will be airborne and slammed into something causing certain death. Your ears must have been popping from the pressure. 28:05 Wow.....that is some scary shit. That for sure must have been the moment of the storm's maximum sustained winds.
THIS VIDEO IS DEFINITELY TOP NOTCH WHAT A VIEW...
I’ve seen snow blizzards that look like that white out in this video but I’ve never seen it with a hurricane. This is so unreal!!😮
I feel sorry for people who lost homes, businesses and loved ones. My heart breaks for the animals caught up in this storm. So many lost their lives.😢
Thank you for sharing this. We live just to the west. We knew from the sounds and damage afterwards it was powerful and horrific. But by the time we got power eight days later and then good cell service/internet/tv more than a week after that the news only showed the damages. Besides peeking out to our lanai in the midst of it, this is the first time I’ve gotten to see what we actually went through!
