Child Of God Exactly what I was thinking. I live up by st louis and we got an unbelievable amount of rain from Ike. Hoping that Harvey doesn't do the same.
“The hurricane ike creature.” “The hurricane ike creature was a figure which appeared in hundreds of recordings from those whom stayed or couldn’t leave the path of hurricane ike. The creature appeared as a drenched, hooded figure, and tore through walls and metal, at least as much as it could, screaming whilst doing so. The creature also clawed its way through several foundations, leading to collapsed buildings, only amplifying the already tense night. The creature didn’t stop at just clawing it’s way through walls and foundations. It clawed through anything it could get its claws on. Ripping and tearing apart anything it could find. It also ripped through organs and several survivors, alongside this, it was nearly impossible to escape.”
The winds during hurricane Ike were unreal. I was pretty young (7) but I remember it so vividly. I remember hearing the wind howling. I put my hand on the walls of my house, and I could feel them shifting and bending. Lightning flew around like fireballs... Then I woke up during the eye and you could literally hear a pin drop. Wild.
I appreciate the ppl who have the balls for stuff like this....Nature is so beautiful yet terrifying at times....The sound of the wind would of been enough to drive me in a closet with a bible 😂
This video on this link about generator safety really needs to be on the news ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1jT3ANENvI.html it’s for everyone to know about.
Buddy of mine was in college classes at U of H at Galveston. He lived in a house on the Bolivar Pennisula. I was so glad he was invited to stay with a few classmates of his inland. His place on the pennisula washed away. Had been saying that he was going to stay and ride out the storm there before getting that phone call from them. Saved his life.
I remember I had just moved to Houston that August and I was living in an apartment complex in 3rd Ward and decided to evacuate. As we were packing our things into the car, I remember a group of men were standing outside and yelled out at us if we were leaving and we were like yep. They all laughed at us as if we were some idiots. Looks like the joke was on them because the apartment complex flooded and was without power for nearly 2 weeks.
madmann1000 They were probably around for Hurricane Rita when they tried evacuating a city of 6 million people. Some of the worst traffic ever. If I remember correctly some hundred people died, none of which had anything to do with the hurricane itself but more from a massive heatwave. You couldn't afford to turn the AC on either since you were likely low on gas and both the wind and traffic were at a complete standstill. There really wasn't any hurricane either, it was all just heavy wind and rain. Which was a big reason for why most people didn't evacuate for Ike.
I actually just stumbled on this video prepping for a hurricane summit! I was working in a facility in Texas City and I listened to this same sound for about 12 hours with only a 30 minute reprieve when the eye of the storm came across. I could actually hear this sound in my head for several days after the storm. Great video and audio!
Yeah, it got really intense in the early morning...I'm glad u know what I'm sayin' cuz it seems like videos never do justice to the way it really felt. Partly the reason that I left out the music....to really attempt to portray the way it felt to be there in person... Thnx for the comment:)
I was there on the Strand in a house built in the 1920s. 2 blocks from where it entered . We were stuck upstairs for 2 weeks .Helicopters overhead wanting to rescue us. I now live in Houston . Made a believer out of me.
I was 13 when Ike happened. I remember my family found a injured baby squirrel in our backyard after the hurricane went through, and we named it Ike and took care of it till it passed away.
I volunteered at my workplace, parkway-Tidwell Hospital, and the PArkway at Parker and I-45 was evacuated due to its being in the flood plain and we hunkered down at the Tidwell location. I was sent to Downtown Corridor by my late director, Marie Price and I ended up going to Harris County EMS building on N. Shepherd Dr, just one block south of Tidwell and I was stationed at one of the incoming lines, where I started receiving phone calls from Galveston to Houston,m the first being from UTMB-Galveston, around 8:30 pm, that they had lost power and they were on the back-up generator. This type of call was repeated by every hospital along the path of Ike, one by one as the storm's eye passed over them, and finally, around 10:45 pm or so, the eye passed over the Harris County EMS area and we had the FEMA director, Michael Chertoff in the building at the time, can you believe that? You did a great job at recording this monumental footage.
I remember where I was on the night Ike hit. I was only 10 years old and scared out of my mind, being from Idaho and never having gone through this before I had reason to be scared. We huddle in our neighbors farm house that was sheltered by oak trees. By about midnight, I had fallen asleep, but I woke up again very shortly after the eye had passed over, I awoke to the southern eyewall... I will never forget the sound of the screaming wind...
I remember how my home was after Ike (went to Austin during it), two of our large trees had fallen, one of them of the living room roof, I remember not having power for 2 weeks and how I had to sleep by my window with the fallen tree right beside it, it was very weird time in my very small life (was around 6 years old)
I remember this day, my family and I took off to San Antonio what was supposed to be a 4-5hr drive ended up taking us 12hrs only to end up in the outskirts of Houston which by them Hurricane Ike has already dissolved. Horrible experience...
I stayed in Houston during Ike after the utter disaster that was trying to evacuate during Rita. I was in an apartment, on level 2 of 3, with North facing windows. My wife was able to sleep but I tried to sleep at midnight or so and could not sleep because of how loud it was and how scary it sounded. My dog couldn't sleep either. For a few hours straight it sounded like a train was driving over our ceiling. It was really intense. I looked out the window and a palm tree was at a 45 degree angle, facing west (counterclockwise wind). Well, I lived along I-45, and the eye of the hurricane passed right over us, so the first band that hit us pushed that palm tree 45 degrees to the west, but in the morning I looked back out the window and it was now 45 degrees facing east, because the 2nd band that hit it would have been moving west to east, since the eye had passed us. Crazy ass shit. We didn't suffer any damage but it was the most frightened I'd ever been. For hours, just lying in a dark bedroom listening to what sounds like a train drive right over your ceiling, wondering if your windows are going to pop out any second, or the walls are going to tear apart.
I remember how bad the winds were! I was in Kingwood and had just graduated high school! Living in a forest of trees and one of our neighbors had one cut right through their house. We all lost power for over 10 days! It was insane!
I'm so happy we don't get hurricanes in the UK, the last hurricane that was actually like this one was over 25 years ago before I was born. The only place I have been in a huge storm like this was Cyprus
yeah, that's what I heard...Alicia happened the year before I was born so this was my first real hurricane...so I wanted to really experience it:) Mission accomplished;)
JettFox I think you mean if this happened now, you would see kids outside dabbing at the hurricane. They're probably all Jake Paul fans who think they are "savage."
The part where you said you felt you were definitely being watched in the parking garage, I swear I saw a lens flare from the red SUV in there. I think it was a Ford Expedition.
2008 I believe I was only like 6 or 7 when ike hit and we had to go see someone and we had stayed in a hotel and we were hearing the exact same thing I was terrifed
How thrilling! Wish I could've joined you lol. Everyone's saying how the wind is scary (which it is) but it's so rare to be able to experience that all by yourself, I'm kinda jealous 😅
Hurricanes are so eerie. I think i hate them more than tornadoes. At least with tornadoes it's over relatively quickly. Hurricanes just seem to never end.
parallelpinkparakeet I see what you're saying, but I think tornadoes are a little more scary because they are so unpredictable and powerful. Thanks for watching though :-)
I have never been in a hurricane and it sure would be an experience if I did have one. But hurricanes to some people are awesome, and they are. I like hurricanes. But, realizing the damage and what's possibly gonna happen to you is terrifying. Bless everyone who had to ever go through a hurricane. I hope your okay. RIP other victims through the hurricanes. Your in a better and safer place❤
Listening to the storm reminds me of how terrifying it was. It was strange how houses around mine were damaged with huge trees falling into them. I will never forget those sounds in the pitch dark.
I was living in an old old house in montrose. Me and my friend and all of my pets stayed in the hallway that night. I woke up and there was a tree in my bed. The winds were so loud I didn’t even hear it
We evacuated to Dallas. I remember coming home (to Brazoria County) going through downtown Houston, and it looked like a bomb had gone off in downtown. It was surreal.
I was 7 when this happened. We stayed the night in our church and we went outside and played in it when the eye hit. Otherwise, it was at it's worst overnight. I didn't sleep at all because the wind sounded like screaming, and the lightning was so close. We think lightning struck the steeple on the church because at one point, the whole church lost power, and we heard the loudest clap of thunder EVER. And then the power just comes right back on. After Ike left, we went home only to find that a tree had fallen right next to our house, and the roof was damaged. 3 weeks after Ike, I was playing outside during a thunderstorm, and lightning actually struck a tree less than half a mile away from me!!! Now THAT was loud!!!!
Hurricane Ike took the roof off our house and blew down our fence and I live in Ohio. Trees were ripped out of the ground and on top of houses and cars. Nothing compared to what happened to Texas, but still unbelievable for as far away as we were.
I came here because of Matthew. Luckily here in Brazil we don't usually have hurricanes, but I'm fascinated with them. Unfortunately thousands of people have to face them frequently, but I hope everyone to be OK after Matthew, at least. Nice video, by the way! Greetings from Brazil!
Smart idea to put your valuables that you don't want to loose in your car, just gotta hope that parking garage its in won't collapse. what i do is use a homemade storm proof box no matter how hard it gets dropped or if something heavy falls on it, the box cant be crushed or damaged in anyway, like i put photos in there i don't wan to loose, my laptop, and so on
True, but I literally had everything I owned in my car. Guitars, books, computers, clothes, etc... And, btw, there's no way that parking garage was gonna collapse...The concrete pillars alone were like 6 feet in diameter, not to mention, the wind was allowed to flow thru it as opposed to blowing against it....
Just now saw your video. I am a native Houstonian and I live in the Museum District. We lost power as soon as the hurricane hit Houston and was without power for two weeks. I made coffee and all meals on a Coleman Stove. I remember a cool front came thru a couple of days after the storm which helped for one day. Then it was hot and humid! I ran a generator on my back patio continuously just to keep the refrigerator and a fan running. Not fun!!
Here because Hurricane Laura! My state looks like a bomb 💣 was dropped off 💔 I live in Lake Charles and evacuated to Deridder and the winds were the scariest part! I felt the house shake as if it were by some railroad tracks 🛤
Hell I'm in California. And your video footage made me very scared of ever coming to Texas for anything. I'll take an earthquake and day before I take on a Texas storm.
I had just turned 7 when this happened(my birthday is on Sept 10th), we went to Dallas for safety. When we came back we cleaned everything outside the house and my uncle made me a tree house with the fallen tree but my older cousin that was 10 claimed it because it was in her backyard. my childhood was ruined that day when my cousin claimed the tree :(
Mr.Krabs i was 5 years old when it hit us . and I remember i had to stay in my uncles house with my fam over the hurricane because i lived in apartments and when we came back a tree had fell in "OUR" apartment, the worst thing was that i hadn't made a year living in Houston and there was already a Hurricane
Wow! Crazy thing is me and some of my family came to Houston where my aunt lives during Gustav (made it out of Louisiana before curfew)because we all had flooding in our homes and part of my grandmother's roof collapsed over the chair she sat everyday. Get there and then had to go to Dallas to get away, luckily my aunt has the option to from a laptop and paid for us to stay in a hotel for a few days...a trip I'll never forget. LoL
You were a brave soul Tommy. I'm surprised that in the tunnel's security don't come down and run you off. There is camera everywhere, and yes they were watching you. Creepy sounds, at 5:35 sounds as if someone is crying or screaming, yelling out something. Creepy.
I remember this day like it was yesterday/: luckily nothing horrible happened to my family. Just a tree fell on our truck. RIP to those people who died that day.
I was 4 when this happened and I still remember I was in a mansion so when all the lights went out the whole place was pitch black and scary I thought I could here voices echoing through the huge living room and I started screaming for my parents to come they had to go with gas lamps and get me.
