This was 30 miles from landfall actually. Look into Cameron, Louisiana. That’s where the initial touchdown was but no one is reporting about it for some reason. Got completely wiped, much worse than lake charles!
This is amazing video-and I was so relieved when those 2 men decided against their nightly stroll. I was dreading the guy holding the handrail, going out into the full force of the wind and POOF!!! He would’ve been miles away-perhaps landing in Oz!”? And may I say I am AMAZED that the lights are still working!
I lived through Hurricane Irma while vacationing in Saint Martin. Irma was a Category 5 and could have been a 6 if the category existed. 180 mph winds. This hurricane is terrible, but not as bad as Irma! We had to be rescued by air national guard who evacuated us to Puerta Rico. Hurricanes are no joke people.
Yes. I have been in the eye of a storm. Hurricane Ike's eye passed right over my house. It's incredibly eerie to have the winds be howling outside and then suddenly stop...only to have them start up again violently minutes later. Nothing like it.
@@BrotherMarkinter oh crumbs! How many minutes does it go quiet for? Do you run for cover? In the UK we barely get a decent thonderstorm anymore... Or any decent snow? 30 years ago we used to have 4 seasons... Now we don't get that.. NOW Its all merged into a blur of rain! 🤔😭
@@abbikinghorn991 it went quiet and still for somewhere between 15-25 minutes. It was beyond eerie. I was already hunkered down with my family in our living room and we stayed where we were because we knew that it would crank up again. We were also terrified...the sounds you hear while going through the eyewall are pretty similar across storms. We were all pretty scared I won't lie. One of the only times in my life I have thought the building I was in was about to be blown into pieces.
@@BrotherMarkinter oh!!!! Shudder...... Thank you for your reply! The eye wall.... Sounds horrendous to me. Glad you managed to stay safe! "Oh Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore! " 😕
@@BrotherMarkinter oh crumbs..... Us in the UK literally can't imagine? If we get one slight thunderstorm a year its exciting..... Otherwise thanks to global warming, our four seasons have merged into one of just BLAH rain? I'm 44. As a kid I remember seasons here..... No more. 😭 We just get one boring weak Atlantic storm after another.... Stay safe. 💖❤️💖
I live directly in the middle of the state, and honesty, this footage was pretty tame as compared to what we experienced (I can't even imagine how those South of us felt 😳). I'm not in any way trying to insult the storm chasers who shot this video. Heaven knows I wouldn't last a day in their shoes! 🙅🏻♀️ I'm just saying, if they want some even more interesting footage, go to a suburb or a rural area. It starts geting fun when a 50 ft sycamore hits and blows up a transformer, then takes the power lines down with it all. Also, the things that look like crumbled tinfoil? Those are actually pieces of metal roofing that will slice a person open like a scalpel. 😉
The hurricane eye came up the calcasieu river, thus winds were easterly then westerly as eye passed. If the hurricane had made landfall west of us, the wind would have been from the south, thus a surge. Yes I live in Lake Charles. No electricity for a month or so, but we do have water. Linemen from across the U.S. are here to completely rebuild our power grid. 250,000 customers with no power.
I would think that it is in case someone might take the footage off YT and broadcast it elsewhere without permission. Ask (and get) permission from this channel and the "Not For Broadcast" watermark will be removed for you. Copyright issues.
AAHHA THE FUCKING GUY AT 0:25 WHO JUST CASUALLY WALKS OUTSIDE AND THEN PUTS HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK LIKE HE'S JUST GOING OUT FOR AN AFTERNOON STROLL AND THEN NEARLY GETS HIT HALF A SECOND LATER
If this is not enough to put a thought in politician mind on climate issues ...then i am sorry ..be prepared for the worst to come...our children will pay for the damages for the greed we accumulated last century.

Whoever anchored that spot light did a good job
Can confidently say that’s the first time I’ve seen a tree, not just up rooted, but being blown down the street as a whole unit.
Outside wearing a mask in a category 4 hurricane. Now I've seen it all.
As a Covid Karen yells at them, and they obey accordingly. LOL
The smartness of some people is astounding
@thegaygaymerchannel Damn same
surely a super spreader event lmfao
Prayers to everyone in Louisiana 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
That's some incredible footage.
@Beverley Lumb skyscrapers are all glass windows, pretty much the worse place that you can go.
Great footage. Stay safe
I gotta say... that is a damn good little street lamp in the shots up to 1:43.
It's a small walkway lamp behind the casino by the docks. Thought those lights would go down for sure
I live in McComb Mississippi and we were very blessed, even when a 🌪️ tornado touched down, I pray for all and everyone

“If you get hit by a Volvo, it isn’t going to matter how many push ups you can do!”
Now I have to go back to Lake Charles to check out my aunt's and my grandmother's houses, hopefully everything is ok. Wish me luck.
Only massive buildings made with reinforced concrete can survive this.
I'm lucky my concrete house had survived Hurricane Georges and Maria and a 6.2 Earthquake .
Andrew codes in South Florida made new homes very resistant
@Chandler Howard That's why it's a mandatory evacuation zone.
Matt561 That’s right but flooding is also a huge hazard.
@@BiaMartin777 a storm surge is yes
Why in the hell he would go out there like that!! he got a death wish.. smh
thats why you go there, to see nature's power at it's finest
Reemama death wish blood cult! Mighty tasty.
You could here the lady from The Weather Channel yelling at those guys to get back lol. That was a nasty landfall, I hope everyone is okay.
A lot of flat houses, town, hotels but thankfully most people left the direct impact zone. FEMA paid for hotels🙌🏼
When It got really really bad I just sounded like people screaming on a loud speaker. It was eerie for sure
This was 30 miles from landfall actually. Look into Cameron, Louisiana. That’s where the initial touchdown was but no one is reporting about it for some reason. Got completely wiped, much worse than lake charles!
Cameron Louisiana was majorly damaged and like you said, no one is reporting it.
ItsMyLife Tx ohh okay. This i did not know. But makes a lot more sense lol thank you brother
Who else is waiting to see the wicked witch of the East go riding by. 🧙🏻
Lol! That's perfect Lindys. 😃🌀

how beautiful is the washing machine!
Another brilliant video 👍

Great footage. I haven't seen footage of winds that strong since Andrew. Maybe Michael. Thanks for sharing!
Some of these comments though...idk🤦
That’s some wind. Good idea using a light to see it
Good point out thanks for that....🙄
chad wilson could you BE any more sarcastic
Just watching this gives me anxiety.... Has anyone ever been in the eye of a storm where everything is supposed to stop?

The radar on windy showed the wind gusting up to 202mph, 150 sustained
@Signs I even have a screenshot to prove it 😝
I'm amazed the power is still on!

Scary, but what happened to the massive storm surge predicted in Lake Charles?

Awesome Video. Mother Nature FURY AT IT FINEST TELLING US TO BEHAVE OR MORE TO COME
That ought to wash the Corona out of there, lol awesome coverage
Why are the lights on that building so bright?!
Dat wind 💨💨💨💨⚜️
That's a strong hurricane I ever seen in 2020.
Great English, your mom didn’t graduate from the University of Phoenix good, but she must be proud of you
@@muddwhistle7833 lol mind your own business.
But how were the waves? Night surfing?
This Hurricane was just being nice
😔🙏My Lord
I've been thru ones like that I live in Florida...badass!
where is this lobby?
Explains the horrendous damage 💔
why is "not for broadcast" at the top of this video, transparent?
I would think that it is in case someone might take the footage off YT and broadcast it elsewhere without permission. Ask (and get) permission from this channel and the "Not For Broadcast" watermark will be removed for you. Copyright issues.
That's crazy i was just at the golden nugget for my 21st bday on august 15th
0:42 that's Stephanie Abrams in the background!
2:40 it looks like a cat could walk on the set like it was a miniature model.
high black water. the devil's daughter. she's hard. she's cold. and she's mean.
She's Hard?!
If y’all heard that lady screaming that’s a meteorologist
AAHHA THE FUCKING GUY AT 0:25 WHO JUST CASUALLY WALKS OUTSIDE AND THEN PUTS HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK LIKE HE'S JUST GOING OUT FOR AN AFTERNOON STROLL AND THEN NEARLY GETS HIT HALF A SECOND LATER
so cool
If y’all heard that lady screaming that’s a meteorologist From the weather channel
I’m surprised they still have power.
O!! BACK UP. BUBBA!! O!!
Man I was hit directly by the eye

CRAZY
“Not for broadcast” it said.

Hurricanes are nothing new. The worst on record happened in my own hometown in 1900.
Dammmmmnnnnn that’s fucking GNAR GNAR 😯
mother nature unleashed....... wow...............i'd be shittin' my pants...

Com todo o respeito ao furacão Laura, mas parece que aqui no sul do Brasil o tornado foi bem pior.
At least the hotel was built to last
It seamed a like a great idea to walk out into the storm....🤷♂️
That is one angry poltergeist!! Oh wait...this isn't one of those "spirit moves 💩around" videos? My bad......
