If Lt Dan had both legs he wooda boinked gumps mom like the school superintendent

Absolutely! Lt Dan vibe for sure!

Fuckn Toni Miller Nikki m all at house held hostage me on film

lol get on the hurricane and ride it like a crock

Crikey!!! What a beauty!!!

He is a professional storm chaser

@Big Griff - Well, if you just discovered Reed, you're in for a treat. Some of the most outstanding, outrageous, spectacular extreme weather footage known to the human species awaits you, captured by Dr. Reed Timmer. Yeah, he's a wildman, but that's what it takes to record the phenomena he intercepts. But it's more than that; he's in it for the science. He knows what he's doing, and you'll learn a lot from his videos.

Yep 🎉

Your last 150 mph storm was 18 years ago, so if your over 60, odds are that you won't live to see another. If your under 40, you'll probably see several.

Also lost my house to it because I’m in a rural area only like 5 feet above sea level next to a river so the river flooded into my house but I’m fine now rebuilding my house in a year

I pray we never get another one like this. I was in Placida in my home during the worst of the storm & I agree it seems like it would never let up. I don’t know if I could stay for another one like this & i’ve been down here for 26 years and lived through many storms & I was never frightened until this one. I’ve never been paranoid before but I think we’re all getting a little paranoid when we’ve lived through a storm like this. 🙏

Florida has been getting hit by hurricanes for centuries. I do not feel sorry for anyone that lives there... it was their choice knowing full well that their property would get destroyed by one. As a U.S. citizen and a non-Florida resident, I am getting sick and tired of my Tax Dollars going to bail them out every year.

@@BL-jt3qt If you don’t like it then leave! Go to Russia they don’t use their tax dollars to help those in need.

@@cliffordsoukup2472 It would be cheaper for U.S. Tax Payers to move all of the Floridiots out, then fence off Florida and let it grow back to the swamp land that it originally was instead of spending Trillions of dollars to keep rebuilding it.

It makes me sad to see the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. God bless and protect Florida and all who have been affected by this monster storm. Mr. Reed I hope your ok.

@@lucymartinez4182 ... with that kinda excitement, he's more than ok ... may GOD protect them both and the people in Florida !

Thank you so much

Thanks :))

Thanks!!!!

@@dylanconnors9083 you’re welcome it’s crazy!

@@Xthemusicguru of course!

Stay safe 🙏

Absolutely 💯

If you think you think this is really a high cat4 landfall you’re as gullible as the day is long.

I know right. Im in nashville and i am loving our weather finally. Fall and spring is my favorite weather for sure here

@@froggynzack oh it has been amazing. We are at a campground right now soaking in the fall weather.

@@zacc2462 It’s called passion!

@@zacc2462 To be fair to him he is also gathering his own data with his own sensors too,but yes he is a bit of a madlad

Thanks for watching, never stop chasing

The GOAT

@@ReedTimmerWx Always!! This is what real passion looks like! You are a Legend Reed!

He is not acting professionally at all in this video.

@@earlysda huh? The man has a PhD in meteorology and obviously knows the dangers. This is his passion, if you can't hear it in his voice you're not paying attention.

@@bobbyheenan4061 Show this video to 7 billion people, and without doubt over 80% would say he is not acting professionally at all. My neighbors ran outside in a strong typhoon because some of their carport panels were being blown away. They were just as unprofessional as this Mr. Reed is. Having a PhD doesn't make one intelligent.

@earlysda Reed knows exactly what he is doing. It may not seem like it to the untrained eye, but his actions are calculated risks, all drawn upon from, yes, his education and decades of experience.

@@prima808 Prima, you are cetainly welcome to support an unprofessional action. I choose not to.

We couldnt?

Hurricanes are incredibly dangerous. Ignorance is more dangerous.

yes, reed is sooo sexy too

I think that's a good doctor has a wild side thank you Dr Reed for showing your wild side and be careful and stay safe

I know exactly how dangerous a hurricane is 😂

you would feel the need to be there if he wasnt?

@@PFA... Yes, absolutely. If Reed wasn't there, I'd feel the need to be there. ;) Duh. :P

Technically, he doesn’t have to be there either lol

Why would you have to be there? We've seen these storms for decades now. One day this guy is gonna lose his life. For what? We've seen them for decades. Nothing new

@@Whom-Shall-I-Send-Send-Me you mean like the CNN Dan Rather wannabes out there blowing sideways all day?

Has anyone heard or seen anything from him today??? I'm worried

@@suziejanc3137 He’s ok. I saw that he posted something on Twitter 5 hours ago

Not insane. Passionate, thanks for watching!

@@ReedTimmerWx The conditions were crazy though. Ian has to be one of the most intense intercepts you’ve ever made. The Western eyewall hasn’t even arrived yet.

@@ReedTimmerWx What happened to dominator fore?

@@ReedTimmerWx Passionate = Coo coo for cocoa puffs.

@@JDashRider 😂😂🤣❤️

you got hit by it to?

In his car

That storm surge couldn’t even knock over a pot plant

@@Boomyboi. 4:13 alternative facts

😯😯 I'm in the UK and we rarely get hurricanes and storms like this. Respect. Totally. This is unreal and unbelievable... I hope people are ok..

@@turnerschmidt he’s not just some random civilian going out in a hurricane this is what he does.

I think hes a jrk off.

His excitement and enthusiasm are just THE BEST!! 🤗💙

GOAT is 100%

@@stargater2892 What the hell is GOAT???

GOAT?? what is GOAT?

GOAT? Take it from me, he got lucky. If that water would have rose just a few inches faster, he would have been swept away.

Greatest Of All Time = GOAT

Watching from Ky as well. Go Cats & and Reed!?

HELLO 👋 my dear friend ♡ShAnnOn ♡❤️ So good to see you always 😊

Nothing dominates a hurricane storm chasers are there own breed of lunacy but make no mistake this storm can end his life in a split second!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE REED! Please be careful out there with Ian!! We needed you during Katrina. The work u do is AMAZING 👏 and the BEST 👌 👍 GOAT of all time. B safe & keep chasing.

Tons of people love storm chasing….

I’d like to stand there for 5 min lol

Yesssss!!!

I love the weather... especially storms...Reed is the only guy I know that gets within a stone's throw of a tornado and lives to tell about it...keeping in mind for those who seek to do the same please keep your personal safety in mind.. keep calm and chase on!!

This can't be live, can it? Maybe the start of the storm, but NY the time the eye is close... power is out.

@@zenwilds2911 Isn't the eye of the storm quiet? It's the chaos swirling around it that makes all the noise.

@@elizabethbathory6144 yeah the eye is the calm silent pause in between the storm

GOD SPEED - Why did your "GOD" do this to the people of Florida ???

@@mikeoxlong5843 get a life, sir.

@@mikeoxlong5843 You'll find out one day.

This video is the only way to show what happened. This is what he does, he risked his life to show others this storm. This is what he was born to do and he's smart and knows what to do and what not to do. AMAZING FOOTAGE THANKS!!!

Man. Remember when we had to use videotape? Or even 16mm film? Now you just record and upload. Of course, doing it in THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKIN' HURRICANE, takes it to a whole new level.

@@Vulpine407 The fact that network communications were still running is amazing!! I would have though cell towers would have been destroyed in this, or their connection to the network severed.

I remember that video. Reed is something else. He doesn't have the time for acting.

Glad you guys are all happy, people died, many lost everything, and the damage was catastrophic. Many people rode this out in complete terror. I was lucky and evacuated. Please show some respect.

My 90 yo dad and my sister are in Sarasota. I don't know why they didn't evacuate. My dad is still sharp minded though, and isn't incapacitated physically in any way. So I guess there's that. Being a retired commander in navy I suppose he's been in nasty weather on the oceans! I'm in Idaho so nothing i could've done!

I think it's gone. I saw photos of the front end submerged. Looked like a total loss to me.

Yeah, prayers will make everything like new again.

Probably starts with education in meteorology, climate sciences and or geophysics. If you love it enough, it can be done.

I hear you. I’m in downtown Ft Myers on the Caloosahatchee. This hurricane went for 10 hours. It felt like it was never going to end. And all the devastation and destruction everywhere is heartbreaking.

I bet those "hurricanes" in yer colon every Friday night after a dozen pints and curried goat aren't so "awesome" are they lad ?

I can assure you a hurricane of this proportion would change your mind on that idea of wanting to see another

@@skygge1006 agreed! We live in Cape Coral just about 8 miles from here. They eye of the storm went directly over us. It was horrible. We didn’t evacuate as the storm wasn’t supposed to hit us. By the time they realized it was coming for us it was too late. And besides, all the gas stations were out of gas anyways so there was nowhere to go. We were all hiding in a small bathroom on our house with motorcycle helmets and football Helmets on at one point. At one point we thought our roof was going to blow off. We had hurricane winds at our house for over 18 hours. Gust to 140mph. It was pure hell. Lesson learned. If it even looks remotely close to hitting us in the future we’re out of there. You can’t even get to pine island where this video was filmed anymore. The storm blew the road out at the bridge. I have lived here my whole life and can tell you this is absolutely devastating!

What happened to his car? Am new to this channel. Saw people talking about him on a different channel early this afternoon so I came over but I also had to go out for a couple of hours. He's amazing!

It got hit by storm surge. He definitely is amazing. He is by far the best storm chaser. If you just found him, you have days worth of footage of tornadoes , hurricanes, blizzards, floods, fires, you name it !!
