Hurricane Frances Video - Vero Beach Island and Ft. Pierce Beach, Florida 

I was in West Palm Beach as well

No charley did but not ivan

2

Me too, in Okeechobee

Likewise in 561 Wilma hit us hard but y’all got Frances and Jeanne back to back was a crazy season

aci16 And then Major Hurricane Irma (Category 4) in tampa

true

Eyewall winds were 120 mph? I thought Cat 2 or higher had winds over 135 mph.

Cat 2 is 111 - 129 mph. See National Hurricane Center website. They have an article on the wind scale. Francis was officially a cat 2, but had higher gusts.

+harvey106 yall dumb asfck a cat 2 is 96 to 110 mph a cat 3 starts at 111

harvey106 Category 2: 96MPH-110 MPH. Category 3: 111MPH-129MPH

yes!

Zac's Random Channel you were in Florida?

yep

I was only 4 turning when this crapfest of a hurricane rubbled my house when I was living in Sebastian. I can't believe I remember the celing collapsing on our house. Gosh, this crappy hurricane didn't leave fast enough.

did you got hurt or anyone in your family?

Uzbach look for super typhoon haiyan

Easily.

145mph but it hit as 105mph

Lol, well you had better pack a lunch, this storm ‘sat’ on [us] for ~24 hrs..

youre nearest parking garage is always your best bet. Whenever storm chasers, or weather channel, sends people out to get footage inside a hurricane (even cat 4+ hurricanes!) they send those people to park their vehicles in a parking garage and then stay at the parking garage thruout the hurricane to get footage or to retreat into when it gets too bad to film. (by parking garage i mean those mutli-level open concrete types) these buildings are sturdy and hold up well, shelter vehicles well, and allow strong winds to pass thru them so as not to have any weak spots where the wind can cause them damage, and they are made out of very strong steel and concrete (think, they have to withstand the weight of hundreds of vehicles on multiple stories!) and i always say next time we get another major hurricane here in Fort Pierce i will be parking my truck at Fort Pierce's court house parking garage...and bring along me 3 cats and me and my hubby will ride it out there (i dont trust my house at all. its from the 1920's and is a 2 story wood-frame/all wood duplex and we live on the top floor! it also has a LOT of termite damage!)

Fort Pierce got hit by 3 hurricanes back to back. Frances. Jeanne and wilma. As in the eye passed right over Fort Pierce for both frances and jeanne when they were cat 3 HURRICANES. I was 14 or so at that time circa 2004

Matthias Rambally so basically hurricane force winds bombarding every corner of the globe 🌎 with winds of 105 mph and let it be impossible to do some other stuff

DON'T FORGET CHARLEY... THE STRONGET HURRICANE TO MAKE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA

Jericho Morales well actually the 1935 Labor Day hurricane hit as a category 5 so ur technically incorrect but Charlie was indeed one of the strongest cat 4’s to hit Florida

Don’t forget about hurricane Andrew that hit homestead in 1992 as a cat 5.

What's crazy is Jeanne and Frances made landfall in the same spot only 4 or 5 weeks apart. Hutchinson Island / Port Saint Lucie.

@@AlexanderJones-b4v Technically, it was Sewell's point in Martin county where they made landfall within miles of eachother , but it might as well have been here in fort pierce since we took the brunt of both hurricane's eyes/eyewalls! I had SO MUCH fun during Jeanne at my friend's house right off Jenkin's road near Orange ave in Fort Pierce. I was around 14 or so at that time. they had a huge hurricane party and there was like 15 of us kids and a whole bunch of "grown ups" (most of them were drunk off their ass lol) and us kids were running outside during the eye and as the back eye wall came in. an hour or so later I was getting tired (jeanne hit very late at night) and tried to lay on the couch to go to sleep when i was juuuuust about asleep we all hear "BA-BOOOOOOMMMMM" against the back of the house that scared me staight wide wake and almost fell off the couch and everyone started laughing at me and asking me if "i thought the hurricane GOT me???" lol. Turns out a HUGE section of their wood privacy fence flew off and slammed into the back of the house during a 100+ mph gust!

We just got our roof repaired from Frances when Jeanne tore it up again 3 weeks later

We got lucky with frances. It was sustained 140 mph winds then weakened to 105-110 rigjt before it made landfall. It was at one point point stationary over the treasure coast. Imagine if it would of stayed at 140 mph while just sitting on us....yikes

Category 2 at this video

Category 4 with a Category 2 Landfall on Hutchinson Island.

105 mph. eye wall winds were 135 mph.

It was just as bad. I was riding this one out, and rode jeanne and wilma out when i was around 14 and i was inland near jenkins road and orange ave in fort pierce so i was about 10-12 miles inland and it was BAD. Houses with roofs blown off. Trees uprooted and snapped in half everywhere. Houses with walls that failed and roofs caved in and many belongings scattered thruout people's yards (then those homeownes sitting at their house with loaded guns in front of signs that read "if you loot- WE SHOOT!") so yes, it was just as bad inland for well over 4 miles inland. especially when the back eyewalls came thru.

And now there's possibly a cat 4 most likely 3 about to hit the entire east cost of Florida in the next day or 2. Hope it dies down

i think hurricane frances was a category 4

She was for a long time, but she slowed down and some wind shear,dropped her to to 105mph. the winds were 145 mph so 145-105=40. it dropped 40 miles per hour in wind speed. I can imagine if it did not slow down and the winds stayed at a 145, and the water made it go 40+ in wind speed, then... 145+40=185... 185 landfall...

oh okay thanks

frances was a cat 4

Kawaiicutegirl159 ;3 if only Florida didn’t have this...

Yall are missing out! yall will never know how fun a hurricane part is and how bad ass it feels to ride out these hurricanes and the huge adrenaline rush it gives you and the constant feeling of "am i gonna survive this? woooooo!"lol i loved this so much as a teenager in fort pierce (went thru frances, jeanne and wilma when i was 14)

Wilma was a Hurricane Cat 2 and it caused $25 Billion dollars worth of damage

lol. I'm looking to buy property here to get away from communists too :) I'm also hiding this video from the wife.
