Wow

That’s crazy

Coincidence? I think not

@@syncretism_ No thats just 2020 for ya.

I already knew that

so thats why you didnt answer our call at 2:am in the morning

@@infected.1058 why were you still there expecting them to rescue you? Once hurricanes make landfall, the first 72 hours are on you. Lightly Abused, thanks for doing all you could. Which station were you in? Our place is on West Beach 3 driveways east from y’all. I hope all of your families & homes came through safely. We were praying for all of our EMS.

God Bless you, Lightly Abused. It WAS scary!!

@@kathobson7046 ahem my brother got injured badly

yeah and thats just a Cat 2....

I agree

@John Boudreaux yup hurricanes are alot worse than tornadoes

But hurricanes you know are coming & can get out of the way. Not so with tornadoes.

@@kathobson7046 we look to the experts, but they are often wrong. It is not cheap to evacuate, and many have already been effected by the pandemic. I was not in an evacuation zone, but I did fill up my gas tank and put an emergency bag by the door. By the time I found out the storm was severe, it was unsafe to drive. There was damage to my rental home, and I have been asked to vacate. I have no money and no where to go and am now facing eviction.

@@stephaniep1761 That is a tough situation to find yourself in & I'm sorry you're facing that. Are you from the area? Have you found resources to assist you? It's a tough time to find a full-time rental, especially the closer to the coast you go. I know that after years of hurricane watching & seeing what Ivan did to the entire gulf coast, I learned to listen to residents, not experts. I would still rather know a hurricane is coming than be taken out by a tornado that comes in the night with higher speeds & destroys everything in its path with absolutely NO warning. I will make a note of your user name & if I hear of any rentals I will let you know. Do you have a job?

Totally. 😃

@@iCyclone my name is James and I would like to go hurricane Volging with you sometime I'm your biggest fan by the way

Same I live in Foley as well. I experienced the April 27th tornado in the Birmingham area and that was mental. Sally defiantly packed a punch and rattled me a bit.

I live in Saarland and we didn’t get it bad, but we were praying for those on the other sides of the bay.

I was at my dads in Foley too. We lost 3 trees. Roof was done just weeks before so it is in fine shape.

Same a tree went through our house on 59

I live in Louisiana. After Laura, we was out for 10 days

Eight people didn't die, stop making things up.

L G wikipedia says 8 fatalities total, could be false.

Same I was in Saarland

L G if anything at least...maybe 2 people died? One was crushed by a tree trying to clean up but I dunno about the other

Thanks so much, Chris.

CHRIS gonzales I agree

Hey, thanks! Glad you dug it.

I saw! When I left Gulf Shores and drove N after the storm, I was really surprised when I got to Foley. Serious wind damage everywhere! Glad you're OK, Jenna.

@@iCyclone Thank you! You are a brave man! We finally got power back on Saturday. I've lived here all my life and have never experienced a storm like that one...that was one long night especially with 3 kids.

I'm on the edge of gulf shores. It was awful. My first hurricane experience

This storm was “worse” because it was so slow and had an effect of the whole county. But when you think back on Ivan it was blowing houses off the foundations in gulf shores.

@@craftypenpalmoma I’m in saraland and we didn’t get it terrible but y’all got it bad!

Aww, thanks so much, man! Glad you enjoyed my video-- and I hope your aunt made out OK.

@@iCyclone she did but she lives on fort morgan rd. Where it looks like some o the worst winds were recorded. She lives in a house rated for 250 mph winds for 24 hours and she said the winds made the house shake. She said it lasted around 4 hours

Hey, thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sally was my first hurricane, I have lived in deep south alabama for 10 ish years. I made a hurricane gossip group on fb, and a bunch of boomers and old people were so ugly to me "you haven't even been through a major hurricane!!" no, but sally a big deal for my family. We live in a double wide. My babies were 4 months old and 2 years old. We had no power for 10 days. I had to boil baby bottles in a crab pot on the charcoal grill outside. My most close neighbor had his roof completely ripped off. My other neighbor had a tree go through his bedroom and branch pierced his bed. Luckily he was resting on his couch. And yes! That moved so slow. So wild. Also they kept telling us it wasn't coming to us here. I am a big weather nerd and watch lots of diff at home meteorologists do their own predictions. One was an autistic kid and said it would come. We used our last $200 to get dog food and groceries, thank the stars we did. Anyways I am rambling. But I agree haha

Yeah, if you're not into it like I am, a hurricane can be a scary experience. Thanks for watching the video, and glad you made it through OK.

Brave is NOT the word I would use to describe this nut jobs behavior.

I was just thinking that too!!

It didn’t even look like a Cat. 2

@@tjohnson2139 ikr

I have been here since Danny. No way this was a 2.

Yeah I would say Sally was cat 3 equivalent when it came to damage. Next year I will start chasing myself so if a storm hits the southeast US there will be a video from me.

It was much stronger than I was expecting as well. Glad you made it through, Tyler.

Here in Destin, we assumed Sally would head off to Louisiana like the forecast said, but it slowed down and turned north and caught us off guard. We got about 25 inches of rain and my neighborhood flooded (but our house was fine), and we didn't have school for a week. I was only expecting some wind and rain but I didn't sleep at all the night that it hit because it was so loud. I was afraid the doors on my balcony would burst open from the sheer force of the wind (and they were locked and the handles were tied together with cord to prevent this from happening but still). It wasn't as bad here as it was in Gulf Shores or Pensacola but it was still pretty scary. Glad you pulled through.

I was here and lived through it. It was a SHIT STORM! Direct hit!

thats why he is called the "hurricane man"

Not sure he is brave, but 110+ mph winds and not a hair out of place, that is amazing.

I’m only part-time but we were praying before she ever got there. The similarities to Ivan, including the damage up 65 to Atmore, were unreal. We have been keeping all touched by this in our prayers.

See! Don't you think it was a category 3!

I live in Mobile most storms loose their punch close to land .. but Sally was getting stronger as it went in ... would have been stronger if not for dryer air on the west side that kept it from a Cat 3 or 4 ... scary

@@mhctracking8576 not really

@@82ghall you got really lucky mate

Likewise, man. See you again soon, I'll bet.

Actually, sorry to say this but there has been some people that died.

its looking better now, mostly everything is cleaned up around the area, schools are back into place as well there was 2 death's during the hurricane 1 after and 1 during from an elderly lady drowning

I was there in 2018. I miss Gulf Shores

@@trafalgarlaw6603 mostly tourist now, not worth going back

@@connorz3802 I worked there in 2018. I have a friend who lives there and she said it is normal now. I miss the place

This was still a life changer

AngelPandaEarth he covered Ike tho wait but im not sure if it was C3 at landfall but still good vid

He covered hannah as well and that was a cat 1 90mph

@@shawnmichael2305 and Isaias...

Proximity definitely had something to do with it. He located to Bay St Louis, MS because of the pandemic and was close to several of the landfalling tropical cyclones this season.

My house was blasted. The areas west of Robertsdale were hammered. Most of us believe it was multiple tornadoes. 7 days without power, and now no water. I had to cut an exit from my driveway with a hand saw because I didn't have a chainsaw. The devastation is insane in central Baldwin.

No it wasn’t they are just as strong I have been in many hurricanes in my life

Sally was a cat 2. A cat 2 can be very destructive as well... I went through Wilma back in 2005. It first made landfall as a cat 3 on the West coast of Florida, then weakened to a cat 2 when it crossed over my area on the East coast. It was still strong enough to flip cars over, uproot trees, bust some windows, break pipes, break stoplights and knock the power out for almost a month.

Katrina Elena Felix yeah but it was worse they even said worse than Katrina and Wilma was really nothing for the northern or western mostly southern Florida and the keys got it the worst not anywhere else

@@EX3STINCE I was born and raised in South Florida, I've been through my fair share of hurricanes and Wilma was by far the worst one I've ever been through. The Keys wasn't the only area that got hammered. The eye was very large, so the eyewall impacted pretty much all of South Florida. There are some videos on here that show what it looked like and what it left behind in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. You should watch them. It was only a cat 2, yet it looked like a war zone. And come on, Sally turned out to be worse than predicted but I highly doubt that it was worse than Katrina.

Thanks, JoAnn! Glad you dug it.

You get the best footage and angles :)

Thanks!

iCyclone You’re welcome!

It's still from this video.

I posted another one a couple of weeks ago.

Same here. I'm seeing comments and I'm like.. BUT I WAS ACTUALLY IN IT!!

im pretty sure that when i was around 5 and lived with my parents and grandparents, a cat 4 hit us and i was laughing. it was the only hurricane i experienced in my life.

also, im getting a lot of wind. i think that its remenants of sally.

I can understand that. It was scary. Glad you guys made it through OK. Thanks for the kind words.

@@iCyclone Glad you did to. Did you see any tornadoes while you were driving around? We thought we heard one overhead at one point.

I did not see any. But sounds like that are common in the core of a strong hurricane. That's probably what you were hearing-- just the powerful winds of the hurricane's core.

Thanks so much.

Ha ha! Thanks.

@@iCyclone your videos are fantastic absolutely super very interesting too

@@stephensnell5707 Thanks so much, Stephen. 👊

@@iCyclone no problem at all I am a person that loves the weather as it happens

Courage isn’t doing something cos your scared it’s doing something in spite of being scared

Can you please tell me what is the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane I'm curious. Thank you

That's the way Hurricanes ...do!

@@djonpow well yeah
