Truly amazing extended version of your hurricane IAN chase, Michael! I love all the details that you included with regards to times, locations, wind speeds, etc. (Btw, your new TROPMET logo rocks as well!) The loud thunder in the 1st half brings memories of that lightning-laden quadrant of this historic hurricane! Those total whiteout bursts in the western eyewall were just epic. Clearly, it was the stronger side of IAN, and shows what being in a cat-4 hurricane really is! Adding the radar velocities serve as a proper reference to the extremeness of the winds in the western eyewall. Needless to say, your video quality and technique, and editing are second to none. The post-storm damage assessment was especially insightful as well. Many thanks for mentioning me in the credits! I find our data sharing and analysis conversations to be so helpful in constructing a full-picture view of each of the storm cases that we talk about. Thanks for being so open and responsive, and for sharing your extensive knowledge with me! I could go on with remarks, but for now, AWESOME job, Michael!
Thank you so much, Jose!!! Coming from you that truly means a lot, and I'm really happy you enjoyed this extended footage and additional info. And, as always, thank you for all the help, details and support. I really enjoy our conversations and analysis as well! IAN was a monster and such a historic event, I'm glad we were both able to experience it... especially that incredible back-half!!! I can't wait to meet up under the next eyewall!!!
I love this video ATON! By them breaking down each point from when the pressure, winds and wind speed directions on the chart. To showing the radar and the footage! I really like your hard work on this video !
Thank you so much, Edwin! The second half was absolutely incredible... definitely in my top five hurricane experiences. And I'm glad you like all the radar loops, they definitely help put the video in context. Waiting to see what this season brings! 🙂
Amazing footage. Exceptional videography! I feel like I was there. The audio and video are immaculate. It's not easy to capture the full power of these storms. Impressive indeed.
Absolutely incredible footage of such an intense hurricane! Very sad for those affected! I've always admired your videos Michael! Starting with your Hurricane Andrew footage!
Thank you so much, John! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Ian was a truly devastating impact for portions SW Florida, and the recovery there continues. Thanks again for the comment.
@@TropmetStormChasing No doubt about it Mike! My Sister and her boyfriend recently moved to Fort Myers with his Mom. Being that she's on that side of the country from the desert Southwest, during hurricane season, I now have to watch her area very closely!
This storm is incredible! I of course feel sorry for everyone that lives there in fort charlotte but am grateful that people survived this extremely powerful storm Ian!
Thank you so much! And yeah, it's crazy to think the storm was actually on a slow weakening trend throughout landfall, I can only imagine what this the experience would have been like if it had been strengthening during that period! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hurricane IAN is so interesting to learn about and I felt like I was in a hurricane watching this. Nice quality, I like the longer content! You don't wanna be inside a hurricane like IDALIA nearly 2 months ago and by the way awesome profile picture.
WOW!!! Excellent video, great information. IAN was a beast of a hurricane. Can't believe I was only SE 1.44 miles from you during the peak of that incredible back Eye-wall. BTW, At 5:45pm my anemometer was measuring +96mph winds at 8ft from the ground, that's the time I got pin down on Highway 41, just 1.44 SE from you. At 6:45pm I measured +85mph winds near the Shell Gas station next to your location. GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you so much, David! And yes, it's crazy to think how close we were located during the peak conditions! That western eyewall was truly a beast! It's really great to have your real-time wind observations to compare against the Doppler velocities from KTBW... it'd be cool to convert those 8ft obs to the standard 10m height, and evaluate whether there's a consistent correlation between those values and the 4kft radar values.
This was a rare hurricane with the back half of the storm being worst than the front half! With most hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere the front half of a tropical cyclone is worst than the back half. It’s very unusual for the back half of the storm to be more ferocious than the front half of the storm. Without a doubt the second eyewall was noticeably worst here, which is very surprising!
Ian was truly incredible... and yes, those palms really took a beating! Several of the ones I was shooting during the first half of the storm are actually the same ones that Jim Leonard filmed during Hurricane Charley in 2004. Thanks for the comment!
The editing on this was simply amazing! So comprehensive and informative, I love it! Also I found the damage survey interesting as well, but you really can't use tornado ratings for straight-line winds as the tornadoes can usually create more damage with the same wind velocity coupled with the fact that the areas which are usually more tornado-prone (e.g. Oklahoma) have much weaker building codes and structures than SWFL and storms that impact that area would probably get a higher rating for the same windspeed because more damage had been done. Just my take on it at least.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. As for the EF ratings, while it's true that the scale was initially developed for assessing tornado damage and strength, the damage indicators (inclusive of the ongoing shortcomings inherent to the methodology) have been consistently used as a method of rating wind damage across all types of extreme wind events, including tropical cyclones, for many years. Numerous historical hurricanes have had detailed wind damage assessments conducted, several by Fujita's own team at the University of Chicago, using the F/EF scales. A good example was Fujita's analysis of Hurricane Andrew's impact in 1992. If you haven't already seen it, here's a link to the damage map he & his team produced, detailing individual instances of F2 and F3 damage indicators in the surveyed area: swco-ir.tdl.org/bitstream/handle/10605/294458/ttu_fujita_000475.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=y Aside from this, Tim Marshall et al. published a paper about a year ago, noting possible revisions (over the coming years) to help standardize the scale and hopefully make it more relevant across widely varying scenarios. But, for now, the current EF scale is the standard and, short of an actual engineering expert evaluating the respective damage, is the only tool available. Here's the link to Tim & team's paper if you want to read it: www.researchgate.net/publication/365174720_On_the_Current_Revision_of_the_Enhanced_Fujita_EF_Scale
@@TropmetStormChasing What do you think about maybe a different scale similar to the EF scale that we have for tornadoes used for straight-line wind events? As straight-line winds will usually create less overall structural damage because they don't switch directions super quickly like a tornado would? A good example would be with cars. It takes a really high-end hurricane to toss cars around but you see weak tornadoes do it all the time.
wow, Intense video of IAN in Port Charlotte, Florida (*One year after Hurricane Ian in Florida*) I hope to see an extended version of Irma in Naples, FL 2017
This storm took up pretty much all of the state of Florida caused a numerous amount of damage not to mention the cost is unexplainable and rain damage is very high as well from flooding and other things etc
I live down in Rotonda. Boy did we get blasted. Constant eye wall for 6-8 hours. I still whole heartedly believe that the meteorologist did the insurance companies a solid by saying it was a 4 instead of a 5. We all know it was a 5. They just said it wasn’t so insurance companies wouldn’t do a total payout
the truck driving towards the end .... I think if youre gonna go drive around like that, Atleast drive in the middle, instead of staying in your lane in such deep water.

a question@@TropmetStormChasing
Typhoon Durian Reming 2006 sound
I will pray for everyone to leave safely
the weather warning for the second half of the storm says it all /// “ treat this as if a tornado was approaching “
The power of hurricanes is incredible, good shots of Hurricane Ian.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
A well deserved extreme wind warning for that second half of Ian, yeesh. Amazing capture from the veteran.
@@swissirish1 Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Ian definitely was a monster.

Love these longer videos. Great shots Michael! Can't beleive it's been a year already
Thanks so much, Joey! Yeah, it’s hard to believe a year has already gone by… it seems like Ian just happened! Lol
@@TropmetStormChasing Doesn't it!
@@TropmetStormChasinglol ??? NOTHING lol about what happened!!!

Welcome back 🙏 been long time didn't hear from you filming.
61 years old god bless you keep going and good health
This storm is incredible! I of course feel sorry for everyone that lives there in fort charlotte but am grateful that people survived this extremely powerful storm Ian!
Awesome!! Waiting for the release! Getting some Popcorn to watch it all!
YAY!!! Thanks for the support, David!
Nice to see another upload from you, Michael!!
Ian's back eyewall sure seemed fierce in those shots.
To think it slightly weakened during landfall!
Thank you so much! And yeah, it's crazy to think the storm was actually on a slow weakening trend throughout landfall, I can only imagine what this the experience would have been like if it had been strengthening during that period! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Both Charley's and Ian's eye hit an island i lived until i was 3. Mondongo

Ian was much worse trust me😂
Yes Tropmet, a new video and more information, I will be waiting for it to premiere on video
Thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy it. :)
you are welcome 👍
Your back yes more updates of hurricane IAN 🤩

I already saw on video, the quality and intensity of the hurricane was impressive, the best thing was the palm trees. Good video
Ian was truly incredible... and yes, those palms really took a beating! Several of the ones I was shooting during the first half of the storm are actually the same ones that Jim Leonard filmed during Hurricane Charley in 2004. Thanks for the comment!
It means that those palm trees are more than 10 years old, how cool.
@@thehuracan Yep, exactly!
We lost both tall ones in front yard😳
Nice work once again. Consistently getting the good material since Hugo in'89 (Hallway from Hell still #1).
Thank you so much, Christopher! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video, and that you still remember the Hugo footage from all those years ago! :)
I won't forget this storm 😢 was very scary and intense. I felt so bad for our wildlife 😢 awesome video tho
The winds sounds like an freight train passing by!
Very good job !
@@lesterburhnam7272 Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Super Great & dangerous capture Mark.
Thank you so much! Ian was definitely quite the experience. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Was this originally shot on your HDR-FX1000?
Yep... this was shot on the FX-1000 at 90fps.
The editing on this was simply amazing!
So comprehensive and informative, I love it!

One can see so clearly here why there are no mighty oaks in the tropics.
Tropmet, 🌀🎊 Happy New Year🎊🌀
Happy New Year to you too!!!
Ian was a real catastrophe. High end Category 4 borderline 5, huge, with intense winds and very bad storm surge.
My whole life savings wiped out in one day at the age of 61 years old. We will never recover from this.
I'm 73 today. Too late o start again. I to lost everything. It's hard. Real hard. God is our strength now and forever.
I'm 73 today. Can't start over. Only survive. Love God and pray alot. There's a reason.
No one should have to face that, especially in the world's richest country...
I'm 29 yo and reading this makes me sad ah hell. No one should have to experience this. I really you guys are able to recover soon. 😢
How are you today? How's your life getting on 🤷♂️🙋♀️❓
Such an angry storm!!
WOW! Absolutely terrifying!
I Englewood I couldn’t see across the street!! Total white out from wind. Horrifying
I live down in Rotonda. Boy did we get blasted. Constant eye wall for 6-8 hours. I still whole heartedly believe that the meteorologist did the insurance companies a solid by saying it was a 4 instead of a 5. We all know it was a 5.

Amazing footage though man!
And one more thing can you make hurricane ldalia on a video too please
the truck driving towards the end .... I think if youre gonna go drive around like that, Atleast drive in the middle, instead of staying in your lane in such deep water.
If this was the UK every jewelry store would get robbed.

Been threw 3 hurricanes Laura took it all very sad
