An 18 min documentation of the Category 4 Hurricane that rocked southeast Texas in late August 2017. NOT FOR BROADCAST OR RE-POST Contact mesomaxwell@gmail.com to license footage.
Be as strong and positive as you can. My grandmother survived a tornado in Oklahoma; she took shelter (underground with her family, in her case) while her family's house was erased from the face of the Earth. A positive part of that story is that her family rebuilt their home, and a person from far away took a carriage to return a photograph of her mother that she somehow recognized.
Thanks for the video, a lot of people don't realize the damage the harvey caused to rockport. It is 11 weeks after the hurricane now and people are still without running water and are sleeping in tents. We are doing a documentary about the survivors of Harvey, it is truly heart breaking what they went through. you are lucky to have had adequate supplies and shelter. most were not so lucky.
I would like to visit Rockport or a nearby area if there are affordable hotels or camping sites. Would you recommend it? It would feel good to know that at least part of every dollar spent might help.
Great documentary, Max! The fact that you are risking your life to provide this type of footage to us here is beyond words. Please stay safe out there!!
Can you tell me how long it took for the eye to pass over Rockport? I'm doing a case study of events at a shelter at the Live Oak Learning Center in Rockport (experiment.com/rockport-research). The NOAA weather station (rcpt2) wind readings fail just when the leading eyewall hit.
In Puerto Rico hurricane Maria destroyed the island and the power went out at 1:00 Am and flooding everywhere but most buildings did ok no cracks in walls but a lot of broken windows and roofs cars flipped the communications were down everyone with there phone up to try to get signal
Nice footage. Isnt it crazy what nature can do and this was a weak storm. Wind wise. I just drove thru Rockport yesterday and pass thru atleast 1x a month. Progress is good. Cant even tell Harvey hit with exception of a few old bldgs that took structural damage. Otherwise it looks like normal. Same with Houston. Almost every flood house has been fixed.
Coming up on a year since Harvey... I made like a hot banana and split as the outer bands were rolling in. Was a direct hit for me, took a month to return home.
YALL ACT LIKE YOU REALLY SURVIVED SOMETHING IN THAT HUGE BRICK WELL BUILT HOTEL. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH ME AND MY DOG IN A DOUBLE WIDE TRAILOR WHEN ALL OF IT WENT DOWN.....

I read that in post-analysis that HARVEY weakened slightly to high-end cat 3 just before landfall. So was a high-end cat 3 landfall just like CELIA. It didn't weaken much as it was barely a cat 4 before landfall. So CARLA was the most recent cat 4 landfall in Texas. The damage in the RU-vid videos looks just the same severity as ELENA's damage in Pascagoula, Mississippi. ELENA peaked as a high-end cat 3 at landfall. Whereas HARVEY was just below peak at landfall. I caught ELENA's eyewall and eye edge in Pascagoula and the center of the eye in Gulfport. Unfortunately I missed HARVEY. And having been in LAURA and seeing the damage, LAURA's winds were definitely stronger. LAURA's eye looked better on radar than HARVEY's too. Satellite views are nice, but only show it's hair. Whereas radar shows it's actual face. Hair covers up it's face. Both HARVEY and LAURA looked very nice on satellite anyway. It looks like Rockport is a slightly poorer area than Lake Charles. Thus a few flimsier thinly built building than in Lake Charles. One thing to say about the frogs. They were sure happy in the eye! They sound just like the frogs did in LAURA's eye.
@@waldemarrodriguezdenis1001 Nope I disagree. It was a low-end cat 4 just BEFORE landfall. But it weakened to a high-end cat 3 just BEFORE actual landfall.
