It’s probably because the way the media covers it is like they are doing a selfie, it’s not so much about the storm as much as it’s about the reporter in it. Is it any wonder nature keeps getting angrier and angrier with us?
Well the reason why it’s bad for others and sorry a year later is cuz that people have older stuff and like news people use older but strong stuff so nothing would get destroyed and all the footage.
for most people it comes with age. it's rare for kids or young people to have the same demeanor unless their parents have it too(being in the military probably helps some lol ).
It was scary for me hearing debris hit the house and i couldnt even see out of my windows the whole house was shaking doing lots of praying in my hallway!!!
I live in Puerto Rico. Lived a similar experience with hurricane Maria. No electricity for 7 months, no water for a month and the signal will never be as good as before. Glad you’re safe and thank you for this footage, nature is wild. ❤️❤️
sir, I wish you and your mother a long life. You stayed in your house till the end and captured the whole hurricane. Thank you for the video. Greetings from Azerbaijan
That noise will forever be the worse sound you can imagine. The roar for hours. Houses creaking from pressure. That was definitely a hard one to ride out. Lost everything trees half the house and even now fixing to be 3 year anniversary of this behemoth. A lot of people are still rebuilding. Or have just moved on. We are hour northeast of you. Makes your really appreciate the power Mother Nature can throw at you. But I gotta say. This dude did a great job filming and awesome composure. 10/10/18 forever ❤️❤️
I honestly appreciated this video more than any storm chaser's footage. I can better relate with somebody who had to go through this hell of a storm because he lived in its path, rather than with a chaser dude craving for a footage. The sheer size of the devastation is impressive and I hope you'll manage to return to your "normal" life as soon as possible. Here in Italy we don't have storms of this magnitude, but earthquakes are a constant concern. I have seen many friends suffering from the consequences of an earthquake and having to patch up their homes and life in the aftermath. That's really sad. I wish you good luck!
Gotta appreciate this guy’s zen. Watching his property being ripped to shreds, and having the wisdom to know there’s nothing he can do about it so he might as well just stay calm.
He is so calm because he is at his mothers house not his. He is having fun over a boring day eating cookies with his mother. Probable has good insurance too
Wow...you provided an amazing & detailed video. Fantastic job! Too often, I see people trying to exploit the devastation & suffering of others in disasters like this. Your video, on the other hand, is truly informative. So well edited & presented...the timeline, added notations, etc. I sincerely appreciate you sharing this footage & providing details about the storm. I cannot imagine going through something of this magnitude! While I no longer live there (& haven't for many years), I did grow up in Florida (Leesburg for several years, then moved to the east coast...W. Melbourne, Palm Bay area). I was extremely fortunate, never having to go through a hurricane. Tropical storm was the worst I ever endured. That was scary enough (especially as a kid) but this was a massive & powerful hurricane! I'm very happy to know that you & your family got through it safely..."things" can always be replaced but people cannot. All the best to you...stay safe! Thanks for sharing.
They are fascinating. But, if you were in your home, seriously worried about whether or not it would hold up, you might not be feeling so comfortable. The structure shudders, the sound is overwhelming. You can hear objects striking your house. It's stressful. A woman two doors down fled during the eye of the storm as her home was being torn apart. It's now a vacant lot, along with 8-other destroyed homes within a few hundred yards. Thanks for watching.
Lost my house in this. Eye went over my home (I live in Callaway, Panama City Fl) and we had to evacuate in the middle of it to my neighbors house. This was due to a major gas leak and our home began to flood from the torn up roof and a gauge that was on the roof was completely torn off. I regret not giving my parents more reason to have us evacuate because of how much traumatic stress I have from it. It takes a big toll knowing where you grew up and are still growing up(I just got my learners permit) has been destroyed.
Was this the kentucky tornado? That was a horrible storm. Powerful and long tracked. It's like it was designed to kill. Tornadoes hit cities more often than you'd think. So this will probably happen again soon enough. And it might happen to me.
@@13_cmi I was posting about the December 10-11, 2021 outbreak. Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_December_10%E2%80%9311,_2021 Earth might be the only planet with life in our solar system, but certainly not in the Universe. We evolved here, any other body in our solar system would mean nearly instant death to an unprotected human.
@@Vector_Ze yeah that’s the outbreak that had the awful tornado in Kentucky. It was something like 40 people in one town that died. And most of the deaths were in Kentucky. That really sucks.
@@Vector_Ze no. About people were killed in mayfield I guess. And debris was sent 30,000 feet up? That’s insane. That tornado wasn’t even as powerful as they can get. I don’t even know if an ef5 with almost 300mph winds could do something like that. It might’ve been the perfect amount of power for destruction and flinging debris. That’s almost plane level.
Unbelievable!!! I live in Hamburg /Germany. We can't imagine, how powerful those hurricanes can be. God bless you all. Greetings and kisses from Germany.
@@SekFuny So, you think the UK owns the market on brick homes? That's utterly bizarre, especially when you consider this video was recorded in a BRICK HOME in Florida, USA.
Glad this video blew up, honestly. Really shows the kind of damage a storm of this capacity can harvest, which is something that's always intrigued me. I live in Central Florida and from the couple hurricanes I've been in after moving down here, it's never been as hectic as this cat-4 monster. Glad you guys pulled through!
Well RU-vid has recommended it - and i live in Athens Greece, just imagine that. Scary and impressive though. I remember i watched the event of Hurricane Michael hitting Florida half across the world through RU-vid. Sitting at night in the comfort of my room and thinking about the hell all these people must be going through this menace. Ain't algorithms today super smart or what? PS: i 'm very sorry for all the damage to your property and town, hope you are all right by now...
@@manpetepetrop8034 Consider this: While you, and other people around the world, were watching coverage on TV, RU-vid, and elsewhere...here, our 6-week news blackout had just begun. For the first week, we had local radio providing important information on the situation. But, only local information. We didn't hear about the horrible California wildfire until LONG after the fact, as an example. Amazingly, the local radio stations went back to programming as usual after only 7-days, leaving us totally in the dark! That still pisses me off! Six weeks after the storm, I finally bought an over-the-air TV antenna and the blackout ended. Several weeks after that we finally had internet and cable TV restored. Two "good" things about the storm. For a week afterward, the night sky was free of light pollution due to there being no electric power for miles around, the Milky Way was actually visible. After a week, the light pollution began to return as distant lights started returning. Our power was out for 14-days. And, for a few weeks, Donald Trump rarely crossed my mind. Two positives in a disaster area. One weird thing about this video's view count. It was published on December 8th, and after 74-days It only had 258 views. That's when the hockey stick started forming. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@Vector_Ze Jesus Christ... my mind can't even process the shitstorm that you people went through. It 's outrageous that your government (both state and federal), did nothing to help you out in this time of dire need. As for the news outlets (radio and Tv), i wouldn't expect any better : repairs are underway, and now sports... As for the Orange Idiot in the white house, hell yeah, that was a good de-toxing for a few weeks i guess. PS: Being a seafarer myself i have seen several times the milky way and the glorious spectacle of a clear night sky... nothing compares to that. You 're welcome, best wishes...
I appreciate that you had the insight to say the times while recording. My Hurricane Harvey (2017) was a totally different experience from yours. It made landfall to the south as a Cat 4, weakened, then drifted off back into the gulf and proceeded to just sit there. I had various radars pulled up constantly, and I spent 18 hours inside of, or directly next to the heaviest rain band of the entire storm. The rain gauge 100yds away registered at a total of 49.5 inches in 24 hours. Just outside of my neighborhood there were cars with destroyed roofs, not from trees falling on them, but from getting hit by the propellors of the boats driving over them. The storm finally started moving again when the water was 6 feet from my doorstep, though only 5 houses down got 3 feet of water. My 3 most clear memories: Neighbors walking through my yard at 3am to try and find high ground after their house flooded, watching 3 cars driving directly into 6ft deep water, and the sound of the wind. You can't describe what a hurricane sounds like to someone who hasn't heard it, and cameras just can't capture it fully.
Hi! I'm the guy who posted this video! And, I watch it periodically. Dayum, that was traumatic. And, watching it now and then, Sheesh! I can see why people question that I was calm, and question the stability of the garden table. Oh well. Life is like a box of chocolates...and I got Michael and not Ian.
Biggest one I ever got hit with was a Cat 2 or 3, but the big gusts looked like 5:12 to 5:18. Blue roof tarps everywhere after that. It was Wilma Cat 5 with 185 at some point, but reportedly was estimated at a 2 when it hit me, but it felt like more.
I’m also in Florida, on the east coast. My heart broke for your guys that had to face the wrath of Michael. You got some incredible footage and remained so calm throughout the ordeal. I’m so sorry that you went through that but glad that you and your loved ones made it out safely. So sad about that beautiful magnolia tree. I hope that this is the last hurricane that you must face and your home, yard and vehicle have been repaired. Also, as for the color of the sky, it’s some kind of weather phenomenon. I went through Irma and Matthew and saw that after the storm the sky turned this incredible purple/ violet color. Sending prayers and well-wishes to you and your family. Stay safe!
Thanks for watching and for your thoughts. From my point of view, the tree loss is the worst after effect. The houses will be repaired or rebuilt. That will take time, and its sad that so many people (nearly everyone) had damage. But, you can't rebuilt the trees, that will take many years. We've had our roof repaired, including broken rafters. But there's still work to be done inside. A large area of the ceiling is water damaged. I'm still picking up small debris in the yard. My car was more damaged than I realized on Day 0. The insurance company totaled it. I've replaced it with another smart with half the mileage. Same colors, but it's not a cabrio. Interesting about the sky after the storm. I'm pretty seriously color deficient and couldn't name the color. I just knew it wasn't normal.
I'm a life-long Florida residential, and as such, I have rode through no less than a dozen storms. One thing your video points out, and few others do, is how LOUD hurricanes can be. You're in a house with no power, just like every other house around you for blocks, and the only thing you can hear is the wind howling and debris flying outside. It is scary as hell. Keep in mind, these hurricanes last for HOURS! I don't care how calm you may think you are, it is unnerving to hear the POWER of a Category 4 hurricane just outside your front door.
Thanks for the observations. Even though Michael's areal coverage wasn't large by hurricane standards, it left a track of destruction more than 50-miles wide. Well beyond a few blocks of our neighborhood, naturally. We knew this was true in real time as the storm closed in. That is awesome to think about, even as it's occurring. Yeah, it was loud! So loud, in fact, that we didn't even hear the sound of a neighbor's roof being strewn through the whole block. There was just so much sound competing with what would be a frightening sound otherwise.
The little table out in the yard was up and ok, couple of minutes later was up-side down, then right side up again, then.... I didn't know they sold hurricane proof tables?
My two sons and I rode it out in Lynn Haven. By the grace of God himself our home was okay with minimal damage. This was my first hurricane on my own and was just glad to have remembered the precautions and prep from the hurricanes as a child/teenager. Doesn't mean I wasn't scared half to death though!
These folks are relatively calm but I'm telling you it is scary riding out a hurricane like this. My wife and I rode one out in Biloxi MS that was much weaker than Michael. This was a fast moving storm and they are all lucky it didn't park itself for 8 or 10 hours. There would have been NOTHING left. The power was off right away when we rode it out and it was nighttime. We had lanterns and flashlights of course but it was nerve racking. Rain blew into the attic from every vent and opening and soaked the ceilings. I sat there and watched sheetrock fall off the walls and from around the windows until you could see the 2x4 framing. My wife was losing it and I had to keep her calmed down. She thought the entire house was going to blow apart. Yeah it is not fun at all. Good job with the video work! This brought back a lot of memories.
Yup, you mentioned two of the "best" things about Michael, and we were fully aware at the time of the positives, if you can say a strong hurricane has any positives. It was fast moving and moved through in daylight. Although the 14-days without electricity following the storm seemed to last forever with unseasonably hot weather and no A/C. Another fortunate thing from our personal perspective was that the winds were entirely east and west, with nearly all windows and the doors of the house facing north and south, so the strong winds blew parallel to the most vulnerable surfaces. If we'd have had a breach from broken windows or doors, the house would likely have been destroyed, like eight other homes within a few hundred yards of ours were. Thanks for watching.
I live in Panama City Beach. We are very fortunate that the main thing we lost in this devastating hurricane that rocked my community was my husband’s car, our pool enclosure and several trees. A massive branch flew over the top of the house, nicked the chimney and came down upon my husband’s car. It somehow knocked the front bumper off, cracked the back windows, broke seals inside the vehicle and gouged a huge dent into the side of the vehicle. Thus, completely totaling the car. Three years later and this community is still feeling the effects of this incredibly powerful hurricane. We have been limping along ever since and the Pandemic has not done this area any favors. You still feel and see the impact of this horrific storm in the wake of its tremendous destruction.
Sir, excellent recording & even more excellent the way you remained calm!! I'd like you in my bunker if, God forbid, we ever need a bunker! I'm from AL (Tusc) & though we've seen our fair share of bad weather nothing I've experienced can match this! I am so very sorry y'all didn't get the national attention & help you should've had from the govt. I do hope y'all have recovered & have been restored to whole although I know nothing will ever be the same as b4 this hurricane. Plz stay well in these uncertain times, be safe & may many blessings come to you & yours in all your ways & for all your days
It's hard to believe that the yard showing at the start of the video, is the same one at the end. The amount of damage there was insane. Glad you guys were ok though.
Amazing footage and incredibly well-done video. I love how calm you remain throughout the terrifying ordeal. You have some balls of steel! If we get a direct hit from Dorian (as currently projected) and I stay half as calm as you did I’ll feel incredibly proud. I am glad you made it though safely and hope the repairs were made and you’re now back to a somewhat normal life.
Wow, vicious winds! I’m sorry for the losses there, poor magnolia, and the oak. Glad you stayed safe. Pretty scary when that branch punched into the roof! Thankyou for sharing what it was like.
I'm glad you and your mother got through that unharmed. The damage to property and especially the trees is sad. Here's hoping it is a long, long time before that area sees anything like that again.
I love how completely calm he is while everything he owns is getting destroyed. It just goes to show that someone understands property can be replaced, lives can’t.
Man I live in Callaway and that was a terrifying day...me and my wife stayed thru it and I will never do that again... when they said it was going to be a cat 3 I was fine with that we boarded our windows up and decided to stay but it changed very quickly and we had nothing we could do besides stay I've been through every storm that hit the Florida Panhandle since 1993 and this was by far the worst
It actually was the strongest to hit the Panhandle. But, in "fairness" to the other hurricanes, none of them hit Bay County directly. Opal, for example...the center crossed the coast 80 miles to the west near Pensacola Beach. Thanks for watching and sharing.
3/15/2019: I've planted sunflowers and tomatoes in my garden. Just really getting started on that, more than a month behind last year. Next on the list is to rebuild my trellises for cucumbers and other vining plants. Cleanup continues, including materials left behind by the crew who put up our new fences. I think they're supposed to clean up after their work.
@K W It's coming back, very slowly. There are still a lot of businesses which haven't rebuilt/re-opened. Several of the schools are mothballed due to decreased enrollment. A significant number of people apparently have moved away and may not return. I haven't been to Panama City Beach since the storm, but I understand it's already fairly much back to normal. It was nowhere as damaged as Panama City and its surrounding communities, especially to the east. I think this side and eastward down the coast have a LONG recovery ahead, and may not be the same in a lifetime. The trees!! :-(
@K W You inspired me to create a gofundme account. But, I may delete it. I feel odd about something like this. Guess I'll think about whether to keep it for a day or so. I appreciate your comments and concerns. I put a link in the description. If it comes up a bad link, that means I decided not to keep it. tinyurl.com/y373xrsd
Thanks for watching. Due to the wind direction being perpendicular to the recessed door, the risk was rather minimal. Probably not much more than keeping the door closed and having the wall destroyed. Fortunate circumstance, also that the storm came ashore during daylight. Anyway, I've been a weather enthusiast for more than 40-years and HAD to do my best to document this (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime event. The word brave doesn't seem to apply.
@@txch Let me help. I'm 65-years old. Michael wasn't my first hurricane, although it was my strongest. And, although it's far distant in my past, I was a professional radio announcer for nearly 20-years, ending in 1992. I have worked, professionally, on-air through several major storms. I've got an above average education in meteorology. Plus the fact that I'm basically a non-hysterical person. Reed Timmer and I are opposites. I knew the house was well built and on high ground. I also knew the winds would be east & west, while the windows in the house face north & south. A breach, like a blown window, is a primary cause of total building failure. One thing I didn't anticipate is that the south side of the storm (west winds) would be as strong as it was. That's not typical. And finally, freaking out in an emergency is never helpful.
It’s definitely not safe to go outside right now... two seconds later he’s outside lol loves this guy. I’d be the exact same way. Never been in a hurricane but I know I’d be doing the same thing this fella is doing. Cool video! Hope everyone is ok!!
To be fair, between the time I made that comment and when I again opened the door, we spent some time huddled in an interior bathroom. This video documents about 11-minutes of a storm which lasted hours. But, thanks.
Hmmmm... Native Floridian here & I love to watch mother nature's sense of humor. Big rooted trees fell to their knees in the mist of her during her work but a simple cafe table only flipped over once but look like someone sat it back up properly & the bird feeder (I think that's what it was) really were able to strong against a damn C4/5 hurricane. I be damn!! I love Mother Nature. She's so mysterious.
Here is a trick: Press: Win + R Write: "cmd.exe" Press enter and a black console window should appear Into the console enter: shutdown -s -f -t0 shutdown tells the pc to shut down -s means a normal shutdown (for example -r would be a restart) -f means immediately close all programs -t0 means without delay (you can use this for example to do a scheduled shutdown by typing -t360 which would be 360 seconds or 6 minutes) The best thing? If you shut down your pc with the command i mentioned above windows will not do any sort of updates before shutting down. This works in Windows 7, 8, 8., 10 (those are the ones i tried it on)
@@matthayesphotography I was just wondering, because of something I see on my computer. When I open the video from the link on my home page, it starts 64-seconds into the video. Here's the link it gives me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-68WI2Cr5DHA.html The &t=64s is what's doing it. But, I don't know how it got stored locally. If I remove the suffix in the address bar, it starts normally. Thanks for the feedback.
As a resident of FL I’ve never watched it before hand like this. I’m glad you captured this. We’ve rode out a lot of hurricanes in the past but for some we have to evacuate. Especially during Irma.
Amazing footage and you didn’t point the camera at the ground once, just amazing footage, can’t believe you were so calm, wow, thank you from a person who thinks 100 kilometres per hour is fast.
Wow really everything was fine and then this one pine tree piece comes like *oh this house has no damage? HOLD MY BEER* 🙄but it is a great vid and you have balls out off titanium to go out while there is this extrem strong wind😳
@@Vector_Ze oh okay the sorry but it looked like that the Minute where you opening the door i sit for my Screen like O_O WTF GO IN i live in germany and Tornados and heavy storms are possible here but not like this. I have respect for the weather and would i hear a huricane is aproaching i would hide 10m underground ^^"
I’ve watched a lot of Michael videos and I feel like yours shows how hard the wind was pushing the best. Thank you for documenting and I’m glad you and the lady made it out alive.
Kudo's to you sir, for filming when your yard and house were being severely impacted. I hope the recovery was swift and hassle free. Greets from Australia.
1,000,000 view mark passed this morning, September 27, 2020 at 10:14 AM CDT - 659-days, or 1.8-years after publishing. Thanks to all for viewing and commenting. A few statistics: Due to lack of internet connectivity due to storm damage, not published 'til 58-days after storm. Four full months after publishing, view count was only 1,231. Then, YT discovered it. Overall, average daily view count is 1,518 to this point. During its most active viewing period, from March through April 2019, I was impatiently waiting for RU-vid to grant monetization. Average view duration is about four minutes. 14% (140,000) watched to completion, about average for a video this long. Half of viewers dropped out by the 38-second mark, before the storm even hits. There are spikes in views whenever an active storm threatens US landfall. There has been increased viewership as it neared this landmark.
Excellent film of this hurricane. You captured that unique sound that hurricanes make (I've been through a few). I am amazed at how well your house, the neighbor's house and shed did through this storm. Your houses are solid. I am sorry that you had to go through this and I am so glad that you are both okay. Take care and thank you for sharing this.
Thank you! As a nature sound recordist of some experience, yes, recording wind sounds without mic noise is a real challenge. Unfortunately, there were four houses within a five-minute walk which were completely destroyed, and many more needing significant repairs. One of the destroyed houses was just 2-doors to the west. Its roof was strewn across the whole block in the south eye wall. That house and another one have been demolished since. There are several others in the immediate neighborhood which are clearly beyond repair but remain standing so far.
Fellow Victim of Michael. I am so thankful that we left late the night before it hit. Something just came over us saying leave the area because we usually stay but I just had a feeling it was going to be a strong storm. We found a room in Gainesville FL, watching the coverage all day. Searching Facebook for updates but when the storm hit it took out every form of communication. I didn’t know if are families were ok. Was are home still standing? Our places of employment? Would I have a job? How long would we go without power? I am still dealing with the aftermath of the storm. My home was a total loss due to flooding but we had no flood insurance because there wasn’t a need for it or so we thought..creeks and rivers with natural springs were clogged with trees making ground water rise for forming a LAKE with my home in it…my storm didn’t end that day but was a slow death for our home as rains continued almost everyday with no where for the water to go but spread out. We had to use a boat to empty out the house which was built on piers. 6 ft deep at the max, now still about a foot deep.
Filming this horrific storm was a very brave thing to do, me and my family (Panama city) boarded up our windows, but the noises were enough. We heard the train on 231 knock over and it sounded like a bomb
Unless you have lived through something like this I don’t think anyone should criticise the decisions you make based on the circumstances you are living through at that time. Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
YES🤩 That happened when I was younger! I used to live in Staten Island. Hurricane Sandy hit. After that, the flood was almost up to our stairs, cars in trees, a disaster. I feel bad for the place under us. We lived near a lake so that was a benefit(sarcasm).
This is one of the more “thorough” hurricane videos I’ve seen. You can really feel the stillness in the eye wall. I love the time stamps…really shows exactly how long a hurricane is from start to finish. Great video!
Thanks, I needed that Julie! I might even suggest you check the feature length documentary (Days -2 to 37) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ThzWh46wDDk.html Check the description with a linked contents list, since you probably won't want to watch all of it. Thanks for watching!
Dude much much respect for both your endurance and calm demeanor. Storm of the decade rolling in, circumstances that be keeping you from busting out, so you video log the whole damn thing hour by hour while it tears apart everything in your sector of the state save for your equally unimpressed patio table lmao. Please tell me that when it died down a bit you went out and flipped it off lol
Thanks for recording and posting. Hope y'all are doing ok. This is a textbook example of the shift in wind directions when the eye passes directly over. Note the big magnolia only lost one side of it's foliage before the eye. The second pass took care of the rest. Our grandiflora was stripped bare on it's SE side from Katrina (we're in Biloxi). It's still not fully recovered, 13 years later. All the pines around us will forever lean NW.
Geeeeezzzz the power of Michael. Awesome footage man 🤙🏽 this year is going to be rough, Waters are hotter very early into the season especially south of Cuba, surface temp is 90+. Glad you and your family were safe
The water was very warm in 2018 too. 2020 is projected to be an active year, but at the moment a couple things are keeping a lid on it. Thinking positive...an active year doesn't always mean a lot of landfalling storms, some years they mostly stay out to sea. Thanks for watching.
I live in fountain and as good as you tryed to capture it ,it was worse than the video shows.the sound was like 100 jet engines. Total devastation in my naborhood.scariest thing I've ever been through.wont ever stay for another one......
I did my best, but we were hunkered down in an interior bathroom during the most intense parts of the storm (safety first), and so I captured no video. I thought I did a decent job of capturing the audio, though. Although no smartphone will do justice to the recording. Thanks for watching!
This is an extremely valuable video for anyone interested in what it's like to experience one of these monsters. Thank you very much for posting it, and I'm glad to know you're safe. When the north eyewall arrived, was it like a very sudden change in the wind, or did it build more gradually?
Michael's stronger winds were in a very compact area around the eye compared to the typical hurricane, and the storm was moving along at a pretty good clip. Generally, in hurricanes, the wind increases over a longer period of time. The strong winds of the eye wall didn't come in instantaneously though. We had an abbreviated period with blustery winds and stronger gusts before things got really serious. That happened rather abruptly by hurricane standards. The south wall built up to strength more rapidly than the north. This is as expected when exiting the eye. I'd like to note, I didn't capture the most severe moments of the storm on video, we were huddled in an interior bathroom during that time, with debris hitting the house...it got to be a bit unnerving. This is 15 minutes of a storm which lasted hours. Afterward, we found a 2x6 puncturing the roof, in addition to the pine tree which fell on it, and bizarrely a red brick also on the roof, presumably from the destroyed house two doors to the west. I didn't know bricks could fly. I've saved that brick as a souvenier. It's very interesting, each hurricane seems to have a unique personality.
@@Vector_Ze As someone who has been around a lot of tornadoes, yes bricks can fly! Amazing, isn't it? Thank you for sharing your video, and I was truly sorry to see the magnolia go down.
