This was a violent, violent hurricane. 2018 was pissed that forecasters lowered their predictions for the season and pulled no punches. Incredible footage.

Outstanding footage, Josh! It was a perfect full-daytime interception of a truly extreme storm. Looking forward to see Hurricane Man.

Strongest winds I have witnessed personally was around 90-100mph during a very violent microburst in Arizona, a few years ago. The force of wind that fast is absolutely biblical, but I can't imagine the raw terror and force that 155 or higher like Michael had. incredible footage from one of the most hardcore hurricane chasers out there, well done!

Of course the one named after me is the crazy one

This cyclone remember me Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. Same sustained winds higher gusts, lots distructions, trees shaved.... And amazing film of the eyewall view from ground to sky.

DUDE, I WAS SO SURE YOU WERE GONNA BE THERE!!!

Recently found your channel and I’m impressed with all your footage. I will say that I think this storm deserves more than a 5 minute video. This storm was an amazing hurricane.

Man, I am *so* glad that we in UK, being surrounded by the cooler water of the North Atlantic do not get these monsters rattling through. We get the "tail-ends", hurricane remnants with (to us) strong winds (but *nothing* like this) and rain. What you videoed on this was INSANE. Thank you for posting it- stay safe.

That scene at 3:46 is something else! Not many shots from that height in this hurricane so great work on that idea to get footage from up there.

DAAAMMMN! That was an angry eyewall of Hurricane Michael! It left massive devastation in it’s wake in Florida. Nobody should be near the glass doors or tape the windows. They put their lives in extreme risk. Excellent work capturing the Category 5 storm safely josh! What a fierce onslaught from Michael! It was like all hell broke lose! 🌀

Wow.....I have no words for what I just saw.

Great video! Those that do not live on the coast can get a real idea of what these storms are like.

Absolutely amazing footage Josh! Your videos are Awsome :) Sure looked quite scary at some points,glad you made it out alright.

Incredible footage! Thank you for posting. Glad you are safe! Horrible destruction there.

That was absolutely incredible. Thank you for getting this footage.. I was in Cat 5 cyclone Yasi in Australia and this violent hurricane reminded me of it.

Woah! This one always hits me just a bit harder as we see a lot more debris flying about than in quite a few of your videos (which I'm upset I only found today!). That noise too - it's quite unearthly. Thank you for all your hard work and bravery 😊😊💖

Once again Josh, great work. Keep safe!

I live in Florida, and i'll never forget the day it hit, we were very fortunate, and we were lucky no kids were at any schools that day, but it was just, i'll never forget it.

Finally you made another one! I’ve been waiting for over a year now!

Brilliant footage as always! Cool to hear about your new TV show.

You are amazing at your job and I inspire to be like you someday (maybe when i retire)

Im from Puerto Rico and I subscribed when I saw your vid about Hurricane María, I was there too like 15 miles away from Humacao. All your content is great!! Would love to do that myself one day.

Good video. I was waiting for it

Been a while. Scary stuff! Thanks for sharing.

This is amazing Hurricane footage.

What can I say, amazing bro. Since I was a child (8-9 yo) I've been a fan of hurricanes and of course, of your videos (I'm 22 now). Greetings from Ecuador

That was very INTENSE hurricane on 2018. But great video Josh!

0:54 That guy got really lucky

I have been waiting for this video...👌🏾

Wow wow wow,this is one of the most powerful tropical cyclone's!

Man. It hurts to see this in 2020 knowing that i went through the very same Hurricane. It was devastating and absolutely terrifying to my family and i. We hunkered down in my father's work place as we heard everything being torn apart. After it was done we tried our best to get home and didn't get back until sundown. Had to run most of the way back to our house (which we were so thankful it was okay.) This Hurricane still haunts me to this day and always will for the rest of my life.

God the memories of the sounds. I live in Panama City and I was here for the hurricane. I've never in my life been so scared. This video is intense......

Man i just live for this type of weather lol. The power of nature never ceases to amaze. I need to watch more footage of this hurricane.

Amazing Footage Josh!

Geez! This is so insane. I hate that this storm is kind of "the forgotten" storm. This is devastating

I will never forget the jet engine sound and the overwhelming smell of fresh pine in the air from huge pine trees snapping in half during hurricane Michael.

che immagini fantastiche, che definizione, sembra di essere lì, appena parte il video ti vengono i brividi di freddo come se stessi lì, sei un grande 👍👍👍

The power of rapid intensification! What a fierce storm. The 4th strongest storm in terms of wind in the US, only the three cat5's were stronger. Maybe hurricane Charlie in 2004 and Carla in 1961 were close to Michael. Amazing work! Curious to see HurricaneMan.

Amazing job my friend!

INSANE footage this is the best!

I KNEW HE WOULD MAKE MORE VIDEOS by the way I was affected by this storm in Crystal River FLorida

This is a great footage.

I still think that Michael managed to reach Category 5 and made landfall at that intensity. What do you think? And you Josh

WOW! That was intense! You're a brave soul.

Amazing footage Josh! I’m eating Mint chocolate ice cream while watching this video!

I was in Panama City beach Florida when the hurricane hit...many homes were damaged and wiped away (including mine) I was so scared that day.When the hurricane hit all you could hear was the loud screaming of the storm,banging from the medal hitting my shelter,things being thrown around...it was so scary,I was just in shock after going outside and seeing everything gone...we couldn’t get through to my house at all...we couldn’t find my dad (we found him) when everything was cleared so I can get to my house everything was gone...my room the roof fell in my house,mold,water inside, but my dogs survived...I’m still traumatized till this day thank you everyone for your help❤️

Bro the scary howling of hurricane michael was terrifying

Crazy footage 😲😲

Great footage

Amazing!

Absolutely insane! This has to rank in the #HurricaneMan top 5.

Wow, Amazing job!👍

3:50 This part of Florida had some great trees. Thousands of square miles devastated! A lot were crops, grown for the paper industry. But, there were also great forests of old growth oak and magnolia. Very few survived in the strike zone, those that did were mauled, denuded, stripped of major branches. To me, as a resident, that is the saddest thing. With so many landmarks destroyed (including the trees), it took a while to get used to navigating around the east side of town.

Truly extreme to see the devastation from the front of the hotel lobby. Just an insanely overpowered storm!

I thought Michael was devastating which is was but compared to Dorian, it makes it's it look like nothing.

I live in Destin which is about 50 miles west of PCB but we had no damage and not that much wind. Also what do you use to get live infra-red satellite and Doppler radar updates.

intense... wish you were also in Typhoon Yutu in the mariana islands!Keep up the good hurricane hunting

When I look at the hurricane it looks like a smile like this :)🌀

Amazing footage! Jealous i wasn't there 😢

I like these videos about hurricanes.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! FIRST!

I want to be like you one day. Chase storms and capture the worst of the worst for the audience. YOu are basically and inspiration. Thank you for risking your life to chase these extreme hurricanes for us. One day i will try to be like you man. SInce i live in CT and im only 15 it's hard for me to capture big storms. But when i grow up and get a car I will vlog and travel also.

Damn, I would really love to experience one of these one day!

Where have you been did you see typhoon yutu/rosita and hurricane willa or hurricane Florence

amazing 😍mother nature is so powerful

New tv show!!!!! No wayyyy!!!

that s crazy man! I experienced so many european windstorms with those winds i think but not like this damage wow

Definitely winds up to 170-195 mph with this storm this storm was the strongest hurricane ever

Been a long time Josh. Its jason from oz. That one was definitely up there for intensity

My family went through this Monster Hurricane Michael it destroy our county I born and raised here and I have never seen a storm so bad iny Life like Hurricane Michael Hope I never go through anything like that ever again

I remember it coming though our area with really bad like 60+ mile an hour winds and I lived in a place we’re hurricanes don’t come through normally so.. I thought my window were gonna bust open because they keep shaking so hard. I was scared to death that whole night but what y’all got was 20xs worse. Hurricanes are scary man.

This is scary. Thank Goodness you did not have a big storm surge, though, that is the most dangerous aspect of a hurricane.

Wow

Wow!! Crazy amount of destruction.

WOW! THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! I've seen tornados that were less destructive than that.

That was an extreme storm, almost ef-2-3 tornado like. 🌀🌊

This might sound weird But I love Hurricane . it just amazed me how much of speed winds can go up to lol love when they pass in the day time not at nights .

4 years in a row there has been a cat 5 hurricane. How did you survive? This guy is so cool I love his vids! Hurricanes are the best ⛈💨💨

It’s crazy how news reporters have such a small warning for this massive hurrricane

We have a condo down there in the west side of cob or so in inlet/carillon beach, but dam...you always see the website and it’s so pretty sweet and calm or so, then you see this shhht😦😦😦🤯🤯🤯

Michael was a ferocious storm.

So how does Michael rank against Haiyan? Keep in mind you were on Michael's weaker left side as opposed to Haiyan's stronger northern quadrant; however, you were on the outer parameter of Michael's eyewall, which I do not believe was the case of Haiyan.

Is there a place to watch the entire footage ?

What is your 1st worst hurricane that you ever chased

It was a cat 5 at landfall

This footage is Extreme

October 28, 2018_ I heard that scream at 1:01... That really made me cry...😪😥😭😢

That was intense to watch. I can't imagine being there.

the wind is just crazy!

Will hurricane scrambles come this year?

What is the time in that video

So he is not posting anymore longer videos of hurricane anymore

How did you survived all of that MESS SPECIALY THAT HURRICANE

I couldn't breath the whole time. Holy hell. 😱

Me and my family sat in our mobile home during this storm and we were out of power for like 2 months and the Florida panhandle lost over a million trees

Absolutely scary this hurricane

I was in florida the exact same year this beast occurred.. I am so lucky to it to have not effected me.

Thanks for chasing hurricane Michael I'm LIAMNC And you look so hansum

I do not miss hearing that “whistle”

Michael roar loolks like a whistle when u was in the window
