HD Footage of Hurricane Irene as she made landfall in Morehead City, NC and Atlantic Beach. Winds inside the eye wall over 100 Mph! Storm surge and flooding in Atlantic Beach. Video inside the calm of the eye and damage from the storm.
Great Video!! Thank You!!!! My sister and husbands house could be seen from the bridge shots . We could see that the roof and the boat were in place. My other sister enjoys feeding the ducks so we glad to see them as well.You have set many minds at ease.Your a great team. Thank You! P.S. Do you have other footage of Atlantic Beach from this weekend?
One thing I like is that mall these natural weather events are documented like crazy by not only the media.. but by everyone that is living through it. With pictures, videos and hell, even text messages in the form of those on Twitter.
@tunalik If sustained winds are 74 mph or greater. Storm surge wasn't a major factor in Morehead City because it was hit with the western eye wall which would be the weaker side of a northern moving storm.
it was a cat 1 cuz it was a small storm for damage it was just cuz all rain cuz it came to north Carolina and just sat for 3 days strait and just rain with 110 mph where i live in emerald isle nc and it was just a lot of rain....
@m333tt Yeah a hurricane is a serious storm even at cat 1. I just don't understand how Irene got so much coverage when the media pretty much down played Ike that hit Galveston. That storm swallowed entire neighborhoods. Bolivar Peninsula before and after photos are scary too look at and know people stayed.
A category 1 hurricane shut down the NY subway system for a week so can't even imagine what a category 5 would do. The problem is that the waters are usually not warm enough in the Northeast for a category 5 hurricane. Probably cat 3 max.
