Wow those strong winds didn't even blow him away, what a legend.

Hurricane Dorian brought me here

Anyone here from Florida 🙋🏻‍♀️

I feel like this is worst possible scenario for each category because I live in Florida and I’ve experienced cat 1-4 hurricanes. Here’s my experience as well as my friends’ experiences of living through hurricanes for years. From my experience living through each of those for 20 years, a tropical storm does nothing but cause strong winds and power outages. I guess there’s debris if there’s trash on the street but it’s like a bad thunderstorm nothing has ever happened to my house or anyone’s house that I know of (even poorly built) because of a tropical storm. There’s flooding sometimes but it’s in the street mainly and it’s not gonna reach your door or house usually unless they announce that there’s a lot of flooding going on (you’ll know beforehand). Category 1 & Category 2 just cause stronger winds but it’s most likely still not gonna impact your house. Category 3 can actually pick up heavy objects and send them flying around and trees can fall over. Category 4 I actually went outside one time during it and there’s a lot of stuff flying around. Large things flying everywhere. You’re house could be damaged. Category 5...if you stay home good luck. Definitely get the hell out of there I have never been home during a cat 5.

Anyone here for hurricane laura?

Floridian over here! Stay safe

Dorian: What happens a 210mph?

It is simple concrete homes people...full concrete houses..but wait home depot, lows, timber companies, and insurances will not survive.. That the secret...im cuban and i lived in cuba until i was 15 in a concrete house that my grandfather made with his own hands we went thru many hurricanes and nothing happen..concrete that's the solution.

I was In Puerto Rico when hurricane maría made landfall as a category 4 hurricane , with sustained winds of 155mph and gust 175 mph ! All I can say it’s that it was the worst experience that I ever had in my life! the Damage was insane everything was destroyed. I couldn’t imagine a cat 5

Good simple video, wish it was twice as long so it could have more detail on wind damage examples and add general information on distance inland vs storm surge

As destructive as they are, hurricanes are such a fascinating creation of nature.

1ST no joke finally in one video

hurricane laura brought me here Edit: so i exist

Tip: you can loose your garage door in a category 4, happened to my neighbor. Wrecked everything inside the garage. Thankfully his house was okay but yes it made a mess.

Florida here 1 like for pray

Hurricane laura 😻

Who else is here waiting on hurricane Laura 2020

They only went to 155 mph Dorian is at 180 wtf

This was surprisingly entertaining. Thanks.

I am here because of Hurricane Dorian.

Excellent Educational Update/Reminder!

can we just appreciate the fact that a category 5 tornado winds arent even as strong as a ef3 tornado winds and how is he still standing

Praying for everyone in the line of Dorian. Now a Cat 5.

I live in a single wide trailer. We were in the eye of Laura and it only messed up our skirting. Thank you lord.

Some time between now and the year 2100 we will see a category 6 section . Due to rising global ocean temperatures.

Very good that. Quick, informative and well presented.

& then there's Dorian. In a league of it's own honestly. I'm from Florida. Been through some of the worst storms. Actually used to think hurricanes were kinda cool. Just an excuse to eat junk food, miss school & work, play board games. I don't know. But after seeing what this thing has done to the Bahamas I never even want to hear the word hurricane again. R.I.P to all those innocent lives lost 💔 God bless all those people who now have to rebuild from the ground up.

That moment when Hurricane Laura is on its way to your area

Any one here from Hurricane Laura ?

Thank you this was very helpful and informative 👍👍

Can I share this video on my page ?

Most important stats on hurricanes is the size of the wind field and the intensity of the storm. Unfortunately, most of the time the media does not put this into perspective. One of the reasons Katrina was so bad, was the size of the wind field. Hurricane force winds went out over 100 miles if memory serves, and tropical force winds further still. This generates a storm surge over a large region and is hardly surprising. These storms are hardly more destructive than they were before "global warming." What has changed is that houses are being built in storm surge prone areas and with the available insurance temps people to build expensive homes in storm surge areas. In the last century people built houses that when they were flooded by storm surge it was much cheaper to patch them up than the mansions that are built today. The Army Corps and the meteorolgists from the last century tried to encourage the government to ensure that people would not build in these areas. There are really not more storms either, but there is new technology. A century ago the only means of detecting these hurricanes were by the radio communications of ships at sea. When the first weather satellites were launched, we finally had a means of surveillance of hurricanes in the Gulf and later in the Atlantic Basin. Nash Roberts was one of the first meterologists (Nash was the real deal) to discover with the new technology that the hurricanes deformed in their interaction with land. The new satellites are now able to locate hurricanes anywhere in the Atlantic, and hurricanes that only annoyed dolphins are now given names. Also don't get rattled, we did not have a lot of detailed information on these storms until around 1900. Our biggest problem today is still predicting landfall, intensity, and size. Hurricane Sally illustrates this perfectly. If the 72 hour forecasts had been correct New Orleans would be on the tail end of at least a cat 2 hurricane instead of Gulf Shores. Errors 72 hours out is measured in hundreds of miles. Even at 24 hours an error of 50 to 100 miles, especially on a small storm, might make you wonder why you evacuated (you did the right thing though!!!).

Im in louisanna and my grandma said i have a catergory 3 hurricane coming were i live soon and idk what to do

Irma didn’t do anything to my trailer

Stop making homes from wood that’s why everything gets destroyed

I’m here for hurricane isaias

Hurricane Laura brought me here

Hurricane Laura bought me this🤦🏾‍♂️

Hurricane laura category 5 2020 houston brought me here now I’m scare for my life :D

I have a good idea. If you have to watch out for stuff hitting your car should park your car in your garage if you have one like this house. Or put your car on the side of the house that the storm is not on because then your house protects your car

Irma was category 4 when it hit Puerto Rico and Maria was category 5

2020 Laura 😒

DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY STORY LINE (I’m from Puerto Rico and I experienced Maria)

Hurricane Laura brought me here. I live in Bolivar Peninsula 😨

My friend is names Dorian so I’m ready for the hurricane captions “Dorian causes major trauma to the state of Florida”

Hurricane Laura n Marcos brought me here ..

Good info to reshare

Hmmmmmm we thought that a category 5 will not be able to move cement walls,but it did, hurricane Maria did more than that,houses felt like they were shaking,in Puerto Rico,we were afraid that the houses wouldn't be able to stay strong enough,the sound of the winds seemed like a monster trying to enter, in the dark it is when you can feel the most fear you don't see anything ,you only hear the water the strong wind ,, and the cars , the hurricane turn them, the rivers left their cause, in the supermarkets there was no food the atm did not work it is horrible to go through something like this,2019 we are still recovering 🤷

Shout out to the guy who was outside in a category 5 hurricane

I’m gonna be honest this is a bit exaggerated. I wouldn’t take a hurricane too seriously unless it’s a high end category 3, I live in eastern Virginia and we got hurricane Isiais as a category 2 and I was looking forward to it and I sat on my porch and enjoyed the wind and rain. Hurricanes can be fun.

Someone's taken notes from the amazing weather channel videos lol

MOTHER! THE FAN IS GETTING STRONGER AND IS DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN MY ROOM!!!

Good thing aspen trees aren’t usually in the way of hurricanes, or they’d be falling like the London bridges

Concrete homes and metal roofs are key. A well-built home will shrug off the damage of a category four or even five hurricane. If built on a coast having your house on stilts will greatly reduce storm surge damage.

A-anyone here from hurricane s-sally...? ;(

Mayor hurricane is very dangers but there is some news to bring the attention and make it more likes ..like this one here ...

Me in Louisiana having 3 hurricanes 😐

Kind of odd how I was recommended this video after the mid-outer wall of Hurricane Hanna passed through here.. 🤔

Hurrican MARO I THINK YEAH AND LAURA

Who wants to bet that we'll have to add a 6th category to the Saffir-Simpson scale this year?

Hurricane Douglas over here with category 3 to category 1 because of 7mph

Laura brought me here :/

what happen to that gray hole

Hurricane dorian?

Can Storm Surge Travel Far Away I Live Far Away From The Ocean

Barometric pressure is a bigger determinant of damage than category and wind speed. Therefore a category. 3 hurricane with 888mb. Of pressure. Will do. As much or. More damage than any. Cat. 5. With 930mb

Hey Louisiana

Category 6, should it ever exist, would mean total destruction of property that withstood the previous category.

Im watching this video cause hurricane douglas is going to be my first hurricane

Don't forget garage doors! Most residential garage doors buckle in TS or minor hurricane conditions...

Who staying for Ida?

Cat 5 Hurricane or EF 5 tornado, which is scarier? 🤔

Where is the grey circle?

And what about an ICF home?

This is what happens when you try to copy the weather Channel vids like this

That’s cap Irma hit at a cat 4 and no damage was done to my house. Only the backyard and no power for days

Here during Delta category1.... fucked up my birthday celebration at beach💔😭

Praying for people in the way of Ian 😢❤

Im from Flordia and dorian was to scared to come

Ahead of the next big one 👀

Hurricane Katrina not cindy

I'm here for TS Larua

Hurricane Dorian LIKE IT

Laura brought me here see you guys on the next hurricane name

And then there is Typhoon Haiyan (2013) which is equivalent to Category 5 during landfall but able to produce tsunami like storm surges. Why cat-5? Because there is no Category 6!

Hurricane Ida was a CAT 4 only 2 days ago

Anyone else from Florida and think a category 1 just a thunderstorm ?

Normal day in Florida

I’m here from hurricane Dorian

This channel doesn't know the magic of the grey circle

I love in South Carolina oof

I have a good strong umbrella

So a category 8 hurricane like we saw in Loki would proabably just level a city. No wonder its an apocalypse

Shanghai gets hit by cat 0-4 monthly lol😂😂😂

Tropical storm Fay and Isaias brought meh here

Camille made landfall with 200 mph winds

Why don’t they build stone homes where hurricanes hit?

I saw this on TV

My trailer house was made in 1962 and every tropical storm is nothing for it

I’m here for sally
