- Winds gusting to 180 mph in eye wall of Hurricane Ian and blue sky eye from Pine Island, Florida. Most intense of the eye wall I shot on my iPad which was destroyed. Hoping to retrieve that footage. Supplies and recovery effort happening now on Pine Island
This is by far the best footage of the storm. He’s literally right by the ocean can’t get more dangerous than that.
That's Reed for ya. Usually heading straight to it! Great content, my prayers are with you all. 🙏🇹🇹💕
I was watching your live and I saw you drive right by my dad’s street before you took cover. Thank you and your buddies for helping anyone you could. I got word this morning that my dad was airlifted off the island. We have not been able to find out where they took him. He’s born and raised in Florida and hasn’t left that island in decades. Those islanders are special people. Some of the nicest people you’ll meet. They will pull through this. They are still rescuing people who are trapped. The Cajun Navy are angels. So many people helping. Many injuries and deaths. Saint James City is destroyed. Matlacha will never be the same. Pray for Pine Island.
Have you found out where they took your dad? Hope he is okay
@@mbwelsh65 no we have not found him. Last I heard he was airlifted to a nearby hospital. I Called every hospital in the area and they don’t have him. Many people still searching for loved ones.
@@dontjudgeme321 I am so sorry.
@@dontjudgeme321 call larger hospitals that are further away, the closest ones reach their limits and they will spread people out over multiple counties.. I pray that you find him and that he is ok!!
Geez, I hope you find your dad soon and that he recover well. Sorry to hear about him - glad he was rescued. Peace.
Incredible footage! Never seen the eye of a hurricane on camera.
RIP Dominator fore☹️. Never seen the eye of a hurricane from ground level, amazing footage. Reed is a legend.
I'm from Pine Island, too. With my daughter-in-law in West Palm Beach riding it out while my son is on island. We know our homes are safe, but so many others aren't. My heart is hurting for all who are suffering, all over Florida and East Coast as well as our own Southwest FL. communities. I hope we can all be as one in this time of need for so many Americans.
We used to vacation at our Grandparents' home (Matlacha, Pine Island) when I was a child in the 80's & once or twice at our other Grandparents' in West Palm Beach 🙂-You mentioned both! I'm surprised people stayed during Ian-surrounded by the ocean! I remember being in awe of everyone's backyards with private docks leading to the open ocean. But no one was allowed to get in the water & swim from their private docks because of all of the sharp shellfish/barnacles that were accumulated or infested onto the docks. What a great place though! We caught many species of fish from that dock, pufferfish, ladyfish, a huge crab +.
Whoa, think I got caught in the wonderful memories of that wondrous place to an Ohioan kid! 😉
Glad your adult kids made it safe through Ian!❤️
@@lovelana3595 In the 80's I lived in Miami, and every weekend we could manage it I took my son, his cousin, and at least 1 or 2 of his friends to Sanibel and would stay in one of the cool beach cabins that used to proliferate there. Those were magical times for all of them, too, as well as for me. Thank you so much for sharing and for the kind words.
@@patriciaritter4090 We went to Sanibel too! 🙃
@@__Salty Yes, Salty. In contact. Bad situation. As of today, Lee Co. Emergency Services announcement of mandatory evac., stating infrastructure too damaged to sustain human living conditions. Length of time of "stay away" mandate not given, even an estimate. Very unusual, not sure how this will work out that a gov. entity can actually deny citizens the right to protect their personal properties, structures as well as personal items, and give no more info than to get the hell out of the way. This while Pine Islanders
are watching as a ferry service is set up for our wealthier Sanibel Island residents just across Pine Island Sound.
@@__Salty Exactly the same questions I have. The Water Co. on the island told my son they'd try to keep water running 3 hrs. a day, but they're running out of diesel to run the pumps and were told they couldn't get more delivered. They want that island vacated rather than bother with it, but Sanibel already has a damned ferry service carting them on and off, and delivering supplies. Something isn't right here.
Omg I’ve never seen you so exited to see blue sky Reed . So glad you’re safe and thinking of everybody affected by the hurricane Thanks
I never saw the eye.
@@KB-ke3fi did you have open your eyes?
There's not much video of blue skies inside the eyewall from the ground. I've only seen it a handful of times on youtube videos. It's a major accomplishment to capture video from the inside of an organized eyewall of a powerful storm.
@@KB-ke3fi Bud the Eye was occluding itself at landfall, Hes lucky to even have seen that
I don't think I've ever been more scared for someone I've never met. Dr. Timmer. You're the most amazing and dedicated person 💛 God be with you
I was also worried lol
Me too !! When it stopped I said a prayer . Not going to lie lol .
Then I thought if anyone could get through it , it would be Reed .
Lol I will stick to tornadoes 🌪 👍🏼 😅
Amen☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹
is your SUV ok
Thank God your Ok ❤️🙏
Wait he is a doctor? OMG. Is he single? (No offense to his gf or wife if u exist)
There has been no word from Reed since the storm hit. Now I know why. Dominator 4 is gone. iPad is gone. Reed is on his own and probably stranded on those barrier islands. Classic Reed!!
Omg thank GOD you're okay! I was so worried about the radio silence!
This blue sky footage is AMAZING!!
What a ride dude! Thanks for the massive adventure 💕
So good to see you are ok. Excellent coverage. Plus staying back to help evacuated everyone who is still there
I Still Can't Believe It!! This was Sooo Incredible Reed!! The Footage is Off the Chart, There's No Words To Describe it!! Thank You Sooo Much!! Are You the Best?? You Bet You Are Reed!! Please Stay Safe!! 🙏❤
Amazing!! Watched you live the whole time and I'm so glad to see this part now!!!
You and Chris are Blessings meant to be stranded there to help others, TY for all the footage and so glad you are both safe. My prayers to all affected in every way by this storm, no one will ever forget this storm. I pray for Chris' family to find peace somehow through all this and for all our followers knowing you both risked your lives to save others 💔 EDIT NOTE: Ev1 is safe, sry if my post worried anyone, just trying to show my gratitude for Reed and Chris' search and rescue, being stranded there in Chris' families home which has major damage,,,but it is where they were meant to be. 🙏
Forgive me for asking but what happened to Chris ?
@@Lori5564 , I am sry, he is safe, stranded there helping others, I meant no ne will ever forget this storm !
@@pliktl , yes, ev1 is safe, not sure how to edit my comment , oops
@@lisamikkelson9327 okay that's good news. Thank you 😊
Just amazing Reed, as usual!!! LOVE riding along with you!!! YOU never disappoint!!!
Amazing video Reed Timmer. Nothing will stop you from Dominating IAN. Through it all you continued to share your storm knowledge with us. You've proven time and again you will "Never Stop Chasing*!! Stay safe, can't wait to here more from this challenging adventure!! 🙏✌
Wow. So sad to see so many places that held fond memories for me destroyed by this storm. Thanx for all that you do Reed. Stay safe!
Same. F'ing depressing.
It’s gut wrenching
Really good to know you’re still out there! I was worried after your last video. You are the best at what you do. Never stop chasing!!
I was all over social media looking for you after last vid. Glad you're alright
Seriously. I didn’t see him finally show up until his first clip landed on the CNN app!
So happy to hear that you're okay!!! Sorry about the dominator!! Love that you picked out the PERFECT SPOT!!! Great footage of the eye too!!!
Nice work, Reed!! Glad you made!! And WOW! That's AMAZING!!
glad to see you are alive and posting!
Glad to see a post from you, Reed! Waiting to hear your story of what it was like for you there during the intense storm.
I rode out hurricane Emily in an old house in Frisco NC with four friends from Chicago who had never seen the ocean until a week before. We had one car and all had whatever jobs we could find but we were together living in paradise. The flood came up so quickly from the sound the front yard had little geysers of fresh water getting displaced by heavier salt water, didn't know this then, and barely saved my $200 car by creeping down the highway waiting for it to float the trunk and lose traction but I made it to the airport road which was the highest and closest road. By the time I walked/swam back my friends were terrified as water was already two feet deep in the one story house and no sign of slowing. It eventually got to mid chest level with the sound of firecrackers over the howling which were tornadoes snapping the pine trees. The whole time I'm trying to crack jokes even though it was my first hurricane because I never want to see anyone's face look like my friends' faces but nobody thought my attempts were funny. To make this situation even worse was the owner of the house calling the Sheriff on us because we didn't save what little was in the house which got pushed off it's piers when the wind switched. The water receded so incredibly fast it was like a bathtub stopper had been pulled. My friends left a day later after I dropped them at the roadblock where I couldn't pass or I wouldn't be allowed back on. I never left for the many more hurricanes to come after seeing what I saw and was lucky to just have lost clothes, some thrift store furniture and some rent money. One of the people my girlfriend and I worked for lost his restaurant he built over a few decades and his house but wrote all of his employees checks for "the taxes I took out" that was a lot more than just the taxes which is why I never left for a storm to this day. Can't help if you're not there. Thanks Stosh wherever you are. RIP The Sandwich Shop
Ok?
Thanks for the story...always interesting to hear the personal side of riding the storm out.
Anything else U wanna cry about?
Danm bro that sounds crazy, glad your ok.
@@auzzielosborne1336 wah wah wah troll
What an experience! Thank you Reed!
What a wild and intense experience you had there, Reed!! 😲 Thanks for the great video!! 💙✌
Glad that you made it thru safely!! 🤗
But poor ol' Dom Fore.... 😢😔
Incredible footage! Thank you Dr Timmer!
Watching your live stream on the day of landfall as you calculated weather to stay south of pine Island or not was nerve racking. It's rather incredible how close you came to arriving at shelter and landfall. Tightly calculated, nonetheless extremely impressed by this footage. The entire expedition was like witnessing a LIVE movie!
Tightly calculated, idk man, he got really close this time. I don't know how many times he can run this experiment until something reaaly bad happens. That rush to the shelter on the island was insane. I think he arrived like 8-10 min before unsurvivable surge happened. Not to mention the debris. Huge PHFEEW
He may have tightly calculated but damn glad he went where Chris was. He only had half a tank of gas!! Drove down Pine Island, dang he was in what looked like a solid concrete bldg. But Dr Reed, once you stopped, my heart rate must have doubled; I know I was terrified FOR you!! How about a Dominator 5 for Spring storms?
So glad to see you!! Keep rocking it wherever you are!!
Reed you are by far the best storm chaser of all time. Amazing work. You do worry me sometimes, but I appreciate it.
WOW, that’s terrifying, I feel so sorry for all those poor people, prayers from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Been seeing your footage of this everywhere. You da man! Glad you are safe.
Your live feed leading up to this was insane
Incredible footage Reed. You are the goat!
Thank you Dr. Timmer for your always impressive content
Ok?
Dr Reed Timmer who has a PhD in American Meteorology and storm chasing. Also the content is very impressive. To get to see the eye wall of a hurricane is incredible! Hope that answers your ?
That is amazing footage, glad you're safe, I'd never seen the eye of a hurricane even on video, made my day!
Amazing video of this incredible hurricane. I watched your other videos as well. You have my respect for all that you do. You guys were angels for helping those people in Kentucky. I wish I could be down there to help the people in Florida. Marco Island was my home for 7 winters. You guys be safe and thank you so much❤️
Love to Sheilana and her sanctuary on Pine Island and everyone who has been hard hit by this force of nature. Blessing for a speedy recovery to you all.
Poor Dominator IV! Hope she recovers. Thanks for bringing us excellent content at your own risk, Reed!
With all the saltwater, the engine and wiring are most defiantly unrecoverably screwed.
Dude, you always amaze me!!! You cover this better, then any weatherman has.
The footage is just unbelievable! The blue sky eye is truly amazing. Glad everyone’s safe and thanks for the footage.
nice video Reed, keep up the good work. Much love
Happy to see a post hope you are doing well. Thanks for all the great content 👍
Wow Reed glad u are OK. Amazing video ! Stay safe.
Great to see an upload from you. I know in my heart you were where you were supposed to be during this storm. I’m so thankful you and Chris are okay. Thanks Reed for all you and for explaining in this video what was actually happening. 🤗
Right?! 🙏
Awesome vid. I really wish i was there with you. I can feel the energy through the vid and it gives me chills of greatness!!! Hopefully one day I will be able to experience this . Awesome work Reed 🤜🤛
Wow what amazing footage Reed! Glad you’re ok, sorry you lost your storm chasing car. Prayers for all. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for the hurricane footage , felt like i was there with you in the comfort of my home in the ozark mountains , Andrew was my first and last hurricane.
you never stop amazing us with your footage, you are a legend to all of us !
Oh praise God Reed is still alive! Seriously been praying. So thankful!
Thank you Reed great picture of the eye. love your videos. stay safe
Thank you sir for the most incredible footage as always, Godbless and stay safe Dr. Timmer.
Glad to hear from you. Been worried. Love to all and stay safe.
Killer content! Glad you made it through everything safely. Many prayers too those who had total loss and devastation.
Wow. Thank you for the video 💕
Prayers to everyone 🙏
This was an incredible footage… hats off to you and your team👍
The most trustworthy reporting. Thanks Reed
INCREDIBLE footage. I have been through the eye before in Hawaii, spooky. But I have never seen it up close and through the lens of a meteorologist. Thank you!
You got some incredible footage! This was a nasty storm!
Talk about an impressive hurricane... Thank you for your coverage!
Really Excellent work Reed...you did your job!!!
We all love you reed! I hope you stay in good health and don’t injure yourself
You're an absolute doll reed. You're the best you guys are great. So glad you all are okay. Never stop chasing and never stop dominating! Prayers and love for Florida ♥️🙏
That's intense. My dad lives up the road in Englewood, FL and went through the worst of it, while my mom lives in NE South Carolina and is getting hit with the second landfall. Crazy how that happened.
Thank you reed for what you do.
What a relief that you survived. There were a few minutes when everyone thought you were lost...they even put up RIP in the chat...gotta say that was a heart stopper.
This was incredible to watch. Thank you
Man alive. Glad you guys are ok. I was there for 4 yrs after Charlie helping rebuild. I hope the buildings we made across and down the road from the boat ramp there at Pine Island withstood the storm. I'm too old now to help. But I think it's going to take more than 4 yrs. This made Charlie look tame. My friends in Fort Myers lost everything. Never saw a storm surge like this hurricane slung on shore. Really sorry folks. Everything can be replaced but a loved one. God Bless.
RIP Dom 4 Thanks for doing this ❤️
Dr. Reed Timmer.
Thank you for always getting the most astonishing footage. You are my Idol, and I want to study to become as good as you one day.

Fantastic footage Reed! I hope the Dominator didn't float away. You got the eye wall! Stay safe, it's not like you can run from a hurricane once you're inside. Just hunker down.
Thank you thank you. I’ve been waiting for this.
You Sir are a freaking maniac. And I love it!!
Never Stop Chasing.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!
SO glad you went there and I watched your livefeed all day. We lived in Bokeelia and Inlaws on Carambola in SJC.
My hats off to you man for your passionate explanations of the hurricane!
Glad to see your alive.was genuinely worried you didn't make it after seeing some of the barrior islands.
Thank you for all you do for others. You are amazing. So sorry you lost the Terminator.
Great video Reed! Also probably was a lot of fun for you to be there shooting it!
Glad to see that you posted again. Was watching on Ryan Hall Y'all. Hope Dom4 isn't totaled quite yet. If the engine didn't inhale water, then it might still run. Battery and air filter will need replacement. Was surprised that you didn't bring the fuel in. I know you got the science package in. Good mechanic down there is Rainman Ray's Repairs, get in touch with him on YT.
Hope you'll be up and running again and ready for the 8-11th of November in WI and UP of Michigan. We're overdue for another storm like what sank the Fitzgerald. Was up for the last one! 20' waves and 70-75mph winds.
car is essentially gone but he is going to tow it up to South Carolina and get a brand new engine for it hopefully in time for chasing season
Wow Blue sky with the 👁️🗨️ eye! Hey thanks Reed! Amazin compilation!
God bless and keep all of you affected by the storm. I’ve been praying and will continue. ❤️🙏🏽
Reed is the Marlin Perkins of the weather world. (Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom) for those too young. Great job Reed. That is the first Hurricane eye that I have ever seen. BE SAFE.
By far the best vid I've seen.
Thanks Reed, you totally dominated that hurricane! Hope you share some more incredible hurricane footage! 😮
You're a weather savage. Much admiration.
Glad you’re OK reed. I was a little nervous after that last video. Rip dominator
So glad you are okay!
Brother. This and You are Fn amazing. Well done.
Reed be careful my man and thank you for the video.
This the best & most dangerous video I have ever seen!!!! 👍👍
It's amazing to me how those palm trees can withstand such high winds. Nature finds a way... and I think that's beautiful. 😊
And i thought I had it bad in central florida. My heart goes out to everyone who lost their homes to this terrible storm. May God be with all of us as we pick up the pieces😥
amazing stuff again Reed.
So sad for people suffering I hope everyone is okay and got out of the way of the storm but not Reed he's hardcore right in the middle of it best weather reporter ever🏆
Absolutely amazing. The power and fury of mother nature captured as only Reed can do.
You nail the EYE man. Prayers for everyone who is effected by this storm
I'm 88yrs old from the Philippines and witnessed countless super-typhoons and experienced the passing of their EYE. But never, never have I SEEN it! Thank you for this!
i am from scotland in the uk the strongest winds that hit us was 124 mph a family lost their lives trying to get away from the rising walter all of us come together to search for them everyone of them were recovered it did not matter to us about the damage done by the storm what mattered was that poor family i pray you stay safe all of you out there god bless you all xoxo
Amazing footage!
You are the best storm chaser...love you Reed
Amazing footage! 🌀
