Extreme HURRICANE IDA eye wall and eye intercept in Dominator Fore from HOUMA to Lockport, LA.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Full video of category 4 Hurricane Ida intercept in Houma and then going mobile inside the eye wall to Mathews and Lockport, Louisiana inside the eye, with minimum pressure measured below 940 mb. The eye of this devastating hurricane was heading NW straight toward Houma before stalling just east, with the western eye wall hammering Houma for hours. The back eye wall was particularly strong. When the eye turning slowly north, I blasted northeast in Dominator Fore to intercept. The eye had dead calm winds with light patches in the clouds above. Then back eye wall then caused substantial damage. We deployed two Subsonic microbarometers in downtown Houma with well-documented tornado-like mesovortices passing over the Subsonic network. We also deployed three storm surge sensors (Surginators) in two bayous in far southeastern Louisiana. We have recovered one of these sensors, but need to return to recovery the other two. The damage left behind by this monster hurricane in southeast LA is absolutely disgusting. The people of Louisiana are tough as nails, and will build back stronger than ever, but they sure could use our help.
in the middle of a whole hurricane and still has a more consistent upload schedule than most UA-camrs what a guy
DEBRIS DEBRIS !
You mean what a man…
Gotta do what you gotta to get paid even if it means putting your life in serious danger and it's not like we need him to show us this we all know how much damage that hurricane can do
Yawn comment
Won't be many more uploads if he keeps this up.
So many ways to join the “6 feet under” club during that video. Flying sheet metal, embedded tornadoes, and downed electric lines to name a few. You’re like the Evel Knievel of weather chasers!
He's also in a specialized vehicle so he feels safer getting into these situations. I doubt he'd be so aggressive in your basic car.
Hurricane Ida was awesome, I was watching some Hurricane Twitch streams, some storm news and all, I really had a great time, I miss Hurricane Ida 🌀😞❤️ Do you have a favorite hurricane? Please let me know 🙂
It takes courage to do what Reed does. At least he wears a helmet 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
To everyone from this area:
Remember that you are all going through this together. This sux for you and your neighbors. Be kind and polite to each other. Wait your turn. Don't push into the many lines you all will be going through. We are known for our hospitality and helpfulness in southern Louisiana. We did it twice last year in southwest Louisiana. It will get better. Y'all got this. Love to you all.
Why did you type this
@@ryanthepianoman27 what is your issue with this?
@@ryanthepianoman27 why did you type that?
Pep talk!! Too cool! Just hope they can read it. Cuz , u know no power etc
I could only imagine the chaos, had "U" not taken the time . 👍
It's like watching a horror movie, with the eerie sound of the wind and rain making up the sound effects. My heart goes out to all affected ,🙏
Yes, that wind is just so eerie!
DEBRIS DEBRIS !
You're a po@RCH
it’s was scary the wind made the house sing
I love it wish I was there
U know how extremely crazy that was for Reed to do an Eye Wall intercept, a punch through the eye to get to the center, and avoid the damage flying around him.
Terrebonne parish stayed in the eye wall. The whole time
you have balls of steel man. i lived in vero beach florida for 30 years, been through at least 20 of these storms, the worst was 2004 we had 4. francis then gene were two weeks apart and hit within 10 miles of each other in jensen beach area. my daughter was 3 weeks old. went 31 days without power. thats why i now live in south georgia. i dont miss the aftermath at all.
Reed you are a true legend and an absolute maniac, in the nicest possible way of course, that rain is insane man
FHC has been proud to have him as an alumni for years.
DEBRIS DEBRIS !
Just so humbling as a human the power Mother Nature wields. Reed you a f**king legend mate and I have vast respect for you and your entourage. Salute to you guys. 😃😃😃
He’s in the dom 3
DEBRIS DEBRIS !
@@giovinis COW! COW!
As a former gulf coast resident… this was heartbreaking and eerie. I forgot what the howl of a pissed off hurricane sounded like… it gave me goosebumps. I remember Ivan and Katrina, and Ida I have a feeling will be an infamous one like those. Sending all the love to Louisiana 💙
I’m with you. Ivan was terrifying.
@@flockofone9214 I’m never going to forget the images of Hwy 98 in pieces 😩
Katrina makes Ida look like a bad rainstorm.
That's still the queen of all hurricanes.
Ivan was scary at the time. But turned out to be "not so bad".
Katrina was legendary - but only because a small section of the Betsy Levee failed Had that small section held up - No one would remember Katrina.
But Ida???...Mais Cher... Pauvre bett... IDA re-wrote history.
In many ways.
Ida
Hurricane harvey is king and katrina is queen
it is disturbing how some houses are demolished and literally there are others right next to them with minimal damage.
Seems to be a lot of variance in the quality of construction.
@@Veganerd_ yes i understand that part. But what I mean is how selective the storm appears to be in that sense. Its eerie.
Why you shouldn't always go with the cheapest options when building a home.
@@bucky13 yeah man
@Gunner Seven Yes, eerie, as Hurricane Ida occurred 16 years to the date after Hurricane Katrina…. 💨
Now that I look back at this Reed had so many dangers around him. It takes someone that is fearless to do what he does.
Well I disagree because I don’t think this guy isn’t smart based on his position and what he had to do in order to be who he is. I think he’s well informed of the dangers he puts himself in. He’s had friends that died doing the same thing so he’s experienced the dangers as well. I would say he’s brave and understands more than people think he does by judging him for putting him self in these situations. I think he understands the dangers of these storms and how deadly they can be so he risks his own life to understand more about them in order to warn people faster and to actually save people from these storms.
@@jimmyers7529 Well said mate.
DEBRIS DEBRIS !
That massive roof could’ve taken them right out
Only a stupid Person can do
Went through a Hurricane with 135 Mph Winds when I was 10 back in 1979. And I will never go through something like that again. Until you have gone through a High Cat 3 or Cat 4 you really don't understand the power these storms have.. Just crazy how much damage has been done.
I went through Andrew cat 5 in Homestead, fl and it was exciting but very scary. The aftermath was the worst part, months without power, destruction everywhere from the many tornados it spun out. Later in life I had to work during hurricanes, manning pumps and locks for south fl water management district. I went through cat3 and cat4 whilst driving down narrow shellrock dike roads with canals on both sides which got really hairy when the rain is coming sideways and you cant see the front of your truck..lol. I had a coworker during hurricane Francis had a tornado hit his truck and flip it 3-4 times, luckily he was in a large field with nothing but sugarcane around.
Went through Fredrick at 6. I’ll never forget the howling winds for as long as I live.
@@vegasinbama there is no Cat 6
@@marysmith7765 she means she was 6 years old.
@@CellsINTERLINKED01 thank you smokiehaze. 👍🏻 I live right here in Mobile, been through many hurricanes and I’m well aware that there’s not a category 6.
Reed, you are an absolute HERO! How you do not get killed truly amazes me. It must be your incredible knowledge and 'feel' for the weather that protects you. Stay safe, the world would definitely NOT be a better place without you! Love from the UK.
This is extremely terrifying but so interesting at the same time
Totally agree find these fasanating to but also so petrifying
I went through katrina in biloxi. I'm glad you're showing the REAL video rather than the fake stuff the weather channel was showing
Like what?
Making it look like no big deal?
@@decimusrex92 I said what I meant. Weather channel l wasn't showing the real situation. Did my comment bit hurt you?
I was so worried about you being out there but I am very glad I was able to see this. Thank you Reed. I'm glad you're ok.
This man risk his life to gather data on storms! Much respect in what you do for a living! Stay safe!
I'm rewatching all the storm chasers episodes, glad to see you're still enjoying these storms 👍🏻
dominator fore’s side view mirror looks like that scene in short circuit when johnny 3’s head blows up
It’s amazing that admits all the chaos a hurricane brings, there’s calmness right in the centre! 🤯😱
and a dude yelling at the top of his lungs
Ikr that's crazy
Car sale ad: Slightly used car. Less than 5000km, paint faded in certain spots, aftermarket sideview mirrors, powerline damage, no low ballers, I know what I've got. Drives like a dream,

DEBRIS DEBRIS !
One slight flaw, it steers into storms on it's own
The storm took the clear coat off my truck on the top of the passenger side. The winds were wild, definitely a pressure washing effect.
Watching this live was unreal. Props to you for documenting this. I hope it helps with hurricane research
Incredible footage of the storm Sir!!! Well done for filming this for us!! You are so BRAVE!!! And fearless!! What an experience it was to watch! The rumbling sounds of the storm, the gusting of the winds, the heavy rains .. nothing compares to how powerful God is! Also really sorry to see the damage the storm has done. Praying for the people in Houma, LA. Beautiful view there at the end of the video. Thanks once again x
Good to see Reed Timmer is still at it! This footage is amazing!
Reed thanks for your coverage on this I watched you the whole time I think 13hrs straight until you finally went offline and now watching the aftermath videos
Now THAT is dedication! Lol
WOW, The visuals of the aftermath are unfathomable ! So sad, especially during the state our world is currently in, Prayers for everyone who was affected by this storm 🙏
Watching from U.K. I was up all day and night following your channels. Thank you for your amazingly interesting content!
No
Subaru should sponsor reed... he has shown, that this car can go through hell...
yes
and back
Second only to the red dodge 4wd.
We need to get him a Toyota Highlander. Those trucks are tanks.
@@CriticalThinker27 I love my Highlander but I don't think it could out live a Suburu..not with the stuff he does with it anyways 😂
Reed is the MAN - Seriously the GOAT storm chaser, no one will ever be like him. Wish I could ride along on something like this. Reed if you're reading this you're an inspiration to a generation of met enthusiasts.
I'll take Pecos Hank any day over Reed's histrionic shouting
@@AlaskaB83 both are great - pecos hank is an artist, Reed is a mad scientist. Both have massive contributions to the field of meteorology
WOW that was intense just watching it from the safety of my home, I can't imagine what it was like being in it!
Reed you have stones!! I have the utmost respect for you and all of your colleague storm chasers!
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this. Mother nature is something else!!!
I know Louisiana & surrounding areas will get through this, they survived Katrina, so they are strong, keep your heads up and help one another Louisiana!!!
Hurricane Laura survivor here! And the sounds of a pissed off Cat 4 hurricane is absolutely evil!!. Where we evacuated to it made the whole house shake and vibrate underneath our feet, and sounded like jet engines flying around us 😨
Love the custom driver side mirror and golf ball dimpled hood.
Lol 😂
Absolutely incredible footage. It had me in tears. I hope you win an award for this documentary. Take care Reed
Mans wearing crocs what a legend
I hope he had some boots in the car though. lol
@@Veganerd_ yeah lol
In Houma it is Cajun Reebok’s lol… or white swrimp boots. We love our Cajun style, or Waders! Hope my spellin’ is on pointe-aux-my sha
@@leec1441 ah nice
It's incredible how calm things got in the eye. Amazing footage, Dr. Timmer!
A fascinating watch but my thoughts go those who were devastated by this.
DEBRIS DEBRIS !
Thank you Reed. So good to see you still out and about. You are still the number one storm chaser and meteorologist. God bless you.
At least you were prepared with crock shoes.
Thank you for bringing us with you on this journey, stay safe out there and keep doing what you're doing
Wow! What an epic video! I cannot recall anyone video taping a drive through such a strong hurricane to reach the eye of the hurricane. Just amazing! Stay safe Reed… you’re living close to the edge!
Was watching the live stream from the uk but you cut off so glad to see your still alive.
Thank you for bringing us the storm before, during, and after ...I am a new sub an I'm loving your channel 💕
Thank you, Reed, for your courage and coverage. Also, very special thanks to you for pronouncing Houma correctly!
We need more focus on the buildings that survived the storm flawlessly. We need to promote those superior building techniques...
I don't think it's so much building technique as luck.
One thing in life I have learned is, do not underestimate the power of mother nature.
You mean Mutha Nature (The Rock) ua-cam.com/video/tlhXA47_z1A/v-deo.html
I agree!
One thing in life I have learned is, do not live anywhere near the gulf coast
We are underestimating mother nature all the time for the love of money!
Alaska: we got snow!
Seattle: we got rain!
Louisiana: we got helmet weather!
Southeast Louisiana actually gets more rain every year than Seattle it just seems like it rains more in Seattle bc there are more rainy days
Excellent editing bro I was on your live feed when the roof came off just as you turned. To go under the owning thanks for sharing your so brave
only just watched for the first time,whoa that was totally wild and insane,your video and audio was so clear,but seeing roofs ripped off and the line whipping across your windscreen and you were so calm,seeing the destruction was devastating,you sure have nerves of steel,much respect Reed,much respect for being there
My town was in the black part..The eye.
It was heavily damage right on the coast below Houma
Thank you for documenting the storm.
Huge respect for what you do Reed!!
This guy must have binocular eyes because I couldn't see s--t!!! What a scary and dangerous experience this bad ass provided for us!!! Thank you!!✌️✌️👍👍
I cannot even imagine the rush from finally reaching the eye and meeting a fellow chaser who had done the same. Just awesome! I think you guys have just invented an off the charts risky death sport.
Reed, COCODRIE is pronounced "COCOA-dree", like hot cocoa you would drink. Cocodrie is an alternate Cajun spellinf for cocodril, French for crocodile. Chauvin is "SHOW-van".
Agreed on both of those
I was giggling…. Glad you commented on the pronunciation…I think it is precious… and oui/ouias crocodile. I guess the crocs were more plentiful way back or they didn’t know all these dragons in the south were gators lol
Tremendous adrenaline Timmer..My absolute admiration for you.
How did that Subaru stay on the ground? Some of this damage looks insane
Its hurricane proof
@@genericgoosereal Couldve sworn he said this was a stock subaru.
Because 100mph wind🌬️ isn't quite strong enough to move a car🤔
@@stidhamhimer that's exactly why it it hurricane proof
Gonna be out of power for at least two weeks. It’s nearly impossible to get gas right now. Hot as hell and still clearing trees from roads
Yeah. Power outage is stressful. There were a lot of generators giving power to residents in Louisiana who are without power ua-cam.com/video/KlE4RQlcJFE/v-deo.html here is a video about generators helping people in Louisiana after hurricane Ida. Generators are so reliable for emergency power.
Your a beast on these videos. We had 120 mph winds in New Orleans Louisiana. Your a beast at what you do sir
Amazing footage of hurricane Ida. Well done Reed Timmer!!! Best storm chaser in the Business.
He sure is. I hope he realizes how much so.
Don’t forget to point that helmet at any incoming roof trusses or motorhomes wouldn’t want to see you get hurt
I watched you while you were live on Sunday. Basically watched all day and night. This footage is what I didn't see when you were live and it's more clear. Awesome footage and awesome courage for being out in something like this. I called this storm Charley 3.0
So glad you are well. Got worried when the feed went out Sunday
That Subaru Forester can sure take a beating.
The absolute best ever - Appreciate It Reed.
Colin McRae drove Subaru - Best British rally driver of all time - RIP. Maybe educate on that. Reed chose a solid vehicle. Also nice to see him less shouty as he was in the storm chasing series.......Not that this is a hyped up TV thang - nice to see he's fairly normal.....apart from being nuts for continuously dicing with death. Prayers to all those suffering in Louisiana ongoing. Love from the UK
Thanks for getting all that video for us. If possible can you get video of Larose, Cut Off, Gallaino and Golden Meadow Louisiana. Thanks again and be safe. You do more the the news crews. 👍
Bravo 👏 What amazing footage!!! You must really love what you do because you put yourself in a lot of danger just for us folks to be able to see Mother Nature in action. Hats off to you Mr. Reed. What an adrenaline rush 😮
Respect for you man I'm impressed that you can do these things
I'm from Houma and witnessed it first hand at The Plantation Inn on West Park Avenue. I also have pictures of that same storage container in the middle of Highway 90 lol Thabks for the footage ⚜️💛🙏
I have to admit - I’ve been following your work since before Storm Chasers, but I just realized a few days ago that you received your doctorate. Congrats! And thanks for the wild ride, as always.
Thank you so much Kris! It did take me an awfully long time
Wow! I would love to storm chase with you. You guys are awesome, and always bring it. Great footage, and thank you for what you do. You really called it on this one.
On a lighter note, That was a beautiful sunset at the end of it all. :)
Some of the sounds in this footage send chills down my spine. 🥶
I watch a lot of UA-cam I really don't understand how this brother don't have a million plus followers one of the most consistent guy's with the up close videos
I love how the parish/city was clearing roads in the eye. Louisiana gets it done when it comes to hurricanes.
I’ve been through two major hurricanes. One hit at night, and one hit during the day. I’m not downplaying the horrific destruction and tragedy of what Hurricane Ida did to Louisiana. However, it’s actually fortunate that this hurricane hit during the daytime. At night a major hurricane is a much scarier experience. You hear all sorts of loud noises with a hurricane at night, but you have no idea what’s actually going on in the dark.
No your right I'm From Houma Louisiana and have rode out day and night storms .... And hands down night time hurricanes are far more scary
Thibodaux here and id agree. Id rather ride out a day storm. At least I can see my roof breathing before it goes 😂
I know what you are saying also.
Thanks dude for filming Ida in my Houma town, You were filming on Barrow St. my street was just about where the roof lifted, I am so glad I left but my boyfriend and grandson stayed...He has never witness a hurricane on land, he was a rig captain, don't think he will stay again lol I know better having lived in Louisiana all my life...
Now you don't see Jim Cantore of the weather channel anywhere lol love this dude straight up diehard in the middle of the hurricane
TRY RAINX on your windshield. I promise you'll love it. Thanks for sharing your time with me. Stay safe, Vickie
Yeah it's a night and day difference. A quality wax will work as well on the glass in my experience
I was telling my son this when I was watching the video
Absolutely incredible footage be safe man.
Hi Reed--- You are the EXTREME !!!!! Great video!!!!
Surginator lmao. Cousin of Dominator.
Reed always finds himself at the right place at the right time. Never a dull moment!
That chainsaw sounding wind gets me. My family is in the La Place/Reserve area. They can’t even get in to see the damage yet.
Much respect Reed. Your data is so valuable. You are a pioneer in your field. God bless you and always keep you safe🙏✝️
You're a badass, Reed....that is truly incredible footage
If anyone from Louisiana is reading this...you ppl are strong and resilient and awlays keep up with tht southern charm and grace...May the lord keep yall safe..im so sorry for everyone tht lost everything to Ida's punkass...yall are going to be fully blessed
Good thing he was wearing his helmet when the roofs and power poles were falling down.
That bicycle helmet isn't going to save his life.
man needs to invest in something better lol
love the stuff Reed ! never stop chasing !
Wow great footage! must be so exciting I hope everyone stayed safe. Big up to your bravery AWSOME
Your a brave guy Timmer! Respect
That buzzing sound is the sound of high velocity winds hitting matter.
Reed, I've admirered you for years and years. In the world of storm chasers, I consider you the guru! Anytime I see a storm chasing vid with your name on it, I know it has to be beyond outstanding. This video is no exception. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I lived in this area 40 years ago. I’m a Midwesterner and told my husband if a hurricane was coming, I was heading north.
Glad Florida focused on their power grid. Louisiana looks busted
Yeah. And there were a lot of generators helping residents in Louisiana after hurricane Ida ua-cam.com/video/KlE4RQlcJFE/v-deo.html here is a video about generators giving power to residents that need electricity in Louisiana. Generators are powerful
I like how the car was like "ehh 150 mph winds are not that bad" then the trees just go into hyperspace while doing 70 backflips a second
Wow incredible video scary shots a big thumbs up to the Creator of the video who managed to come out unscathed through this terrible storm
I'm not the storm type, but watching storms and learning more about them is very entertaining!
You know this storm was bad when the eyewall is this bad! I'm a native Floridian and we always go out in the eyewall. It's supposed to be the calmest part of the hurricane yet the most dangerous because it can start back up at anytime
The eye wall is the most dangerous part. The eye is the most calm part.
When you dropped off the radar, I prayed for you...glad to see you are ok
Thank you for your content, you and others are verbiage sharing this footage. I live in the uk and many of us nationals are wishing you all to be safe. God bless and stay safe 🙏
Thanks for this Reed.. I've lived thru every single one in my 54 yrs of living down here and IDA was the worst I've ever seen. IDA surpassed even Laura last year and her Eye passed just 30 miles East of me.
