These tremendous gusts have been trigered by this scary pressure gradient Dorian had, without a doubt. This video is truly unique, a documentation without yelling, shaking camera or fast cuts using. The winds are easily the strongest ever recorded outside of a tornado. You can see the intensification steps at 8:50, 10:21 and 12:50, the two 220 mph gusts at 11:41 and 14:35. To bad there was no possibilty to film the second eyewall, but thank you for sharing this with us!
This is by far the best footage of Dorian, and also just about the most amazing hurricane footage ever. Just as much a contribution to science as it is to journalism. I can't imagine what it's like to live through something like this.
@@Rangerandjetfan yes Dorian was worse and lasted much longet. Both were 5's. Dorian was more intense and with a slower forward speed, it unleashed its fury for much longer. But Andrew still was as serious as you would ever want to deal with
@@gregorydiggs9227 what made Andrew scary was the fact it was at night time…..if Dorian happened at night time it would of been at least 5 times more scarier for sure
You captured 180+ MPH Gust 💨 on film. Only a few have lived to tell the story. I’m grateful for this footage, you put us literally inside the worst part of this Hurricane. God bless
8:50, 9:13, 9:42, 10:40 & also 11:41 is just so insane. Mind blowing. How the strongest of the gusts come and go. It can go from 0-100 in mere seconds. 😮 spectacular yet terrifying.
Even at 14:38. That part totally looks like the winds are strong that the leaves sway at the right. At 10:40, other leaves sway at the left while the other leaves sway at the right.
Omg, not many people understand exactly how strong these winds are. This is truly the strongest I have ever seen recorded. God bless you for living through this.

I was shocked and got impatient so I fast forwarded a bit.. my jaw hit the floor. I had no idea it could get worse. I am stunned. I cannot imagine the PTSD you'd get living through this. My heart goes out to all of those that survived this. You're so brave and so much stronger than you realize
My cousin was home alone with her pets. She felt like the whole house was about to lift off and suddenly got the urge to grab the animals and run to the bathroom. At that moment the whole roof lifted off the house and even heavy objects were found strewn far from the house after so they all would’ve likely been killed if she hadn’t moved at that moment.
You were in very extreme danger recording this, especially 12:00 pm. I have seen the eye wall of 4 major hurricanes and I can say I hope we never have to endure a full blown cat 5 like this one. You, Sir are very brave and have giant balls standing outside of that stairwell.
This is among the best hurricane footage out there! Does a good job capturing the sheer chaos and destruction. Some of those hardwoods are delimbed to a degree seen with EF-3+ tornadoes. It is never good when susceptible Islands or areas are hit, let alone by a stalled hurricane. Thank you for bringing awareness who may not have a grasp or idea of why they are so dangerous and devastating.
Just when you think it won't get any worse...and it does 😳 Amazing how you shot this whole thing without freaking out! You're one brave person that's for sure. Glad you made it thru this horrific storm 👌🏼
I have a friend who says that they would like to see a really intense hurricane hit. I showed them this video and they changed their mind on the spot. Thank you for your courage to take this video in a real nasty hurricane.
This is epic! It's loud, and it's supposed to be, and the audio quality is impressive! For someone who's been blind all my life, I really try to get a picture in my mind of how horrifying this is, because I've been through two tornadoes and three hurricanes. It's true, too, that no matter how many storms you've been through, not one is the same as another, and it's always traumatic. Thank you for uploading such a great video. I really appreciate the length, too, because it makes it that much more real!
This is the most intense Hurricane footage on the internet, this is better than any of the footage captured during Haiyan or any other hurricane, only one I can think of that comes close are the Mexico Beach Hurricane Michael videos. I can’t even imagine what Haiyan, Patricia, and Tip looked like at their worst if this is anything to go off of. Most chasers at the hurricanes peak turn the cameras off and take shelter, but you were at an angle where you could keep filming the worst of it. Great job man, you’ve recorded the most insane hurricane footage on the internet (so far)..
You should see this. Typhoon Goni (First view videos on the compilation were shot near or at the first landfall area where Goni broke the record of Haiyan's Landfall) m.th-cam.com/video/znFhQ0LXfmY/w-d-xo.html Though caught by amateur videos i think the winds were equally violent as dorian.
@@anemojin4384 Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Goni! Yeah those videos are pretty intense too, but I still don’t think it’s as impressive as the ones captured here (even tho Goni was stronger ofc). The first two videos are definitely the most impressive, but it also seems more like there were just very intense white out conditions captured during the inner eyewall, rather than the people filming managing to catch the worst of it. (Cause again, most people take shelter during the worst part of a Cyclones landfall, this Dorian video was just a circumstance of the guy filming being extremely lucky at the angle he was at).
@@cognitiveinterlace715 that i will have to agree on, had there been no pandemic and travel ban wasn't implemented at those times then maybe some storm chasers would be able to film the worst of the storm.
This is probably also very similar to the conditions observed during the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane that completely decimated Islamorada, Marathon, and Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad.
It felt like I was right there with you, this has got to be some of the best footage I’ve ever seen, no annoying yelling, just pure relentless Mother Nature, I’m extremely glad you filmed the aftermath, thanks for this footage and stay safe!
Jimmy, this video is absolutely incredible. I have never seen a hurricane video like this before. I just cannot imagine actually being there. Just insane. I gotta hand it to you, for you to sit out there and record this video, you, sir.. you win. You have the biggest balls! Hope everyone is safe tonight! 🫶🏻
This was my home, I'm a survivor of this monster storm. I was a few minutes drive away fighting to avoid my collapsing house. Watching this does not compare to being in it trust me!
I'm on the beach in Florida and I can't imagine that terror. I hope you're doing well... damn this video made me terrified and I've never even been in a 5.
The winds are so surreal it looks like it was fast forwarded all along. The gusts are so violent that each resembles a mini tornado. What a visceral footage that's deserving to be put in the National Archives.
Irma 2017 185mph 😭😭😭😭😭 Sint Maarten I experience this too. The sounds of Dorian are exactly what I experienced and heard. I’m dumbfounded by this video. You managed to capture this. I’m guessing this is the eye wall cause it’s exactly what I experienced 😢
Amazing footage Jimmy. Kudos to the fact that you were WILLING and able to capture the CAT5 hurricane on video and thank you for having the compassion for others by not filming them during such a scary and horrific time. I must say those are some resilient palm trees down in the Bahamas!
I’m as flabbergasted as everyone else seems to be. Those peak wind speeds is just utterly insane. Top work filming this though! I never have seen anything this crazy, and I’ve watched a lot of videos, especially ones that Josh Morgerman has captured.
Josh is a legit hurricane hunter, but he chickens out when it comes to filming these kind of winds. He would likely been covered by pillows and blankets in a basement by this time
@@andreiwindstorm There’s a difference between “chickening out” and not being a fucking idiot you know that right? This guy in the video didn’t even have a choice because he was trapped up in the balcony. Try putting yourself in a cat5 and you’ll be wetting yourself in no time.
I bet this was one of the most frightening, coolest and saddest moments of your life. I would have been scared to be so close and record the storm, props to you!
Props for actually putting a disclaimer and being respectful of the victims. Lotta wannabe storm chasers on here posting dangerous shit, footage of horrific shit knowing they get to drive back to their home state and sleep in a real bed that night. "SO COOL BRO HOLY SHIT BRO LOOK THAT HOUSE IS JUST GONE *giggles* BRO LOOK." I get that nervous laughter is a thing but the whole commodification of disaster footage really puts a bad taste in my mouth. You're one of the good ones, keep it up.
@@riverdelta7052 Yeah, like there's one video, I think from Joplin or Moore, I don't remember, where the storm chasers take shelter in a gas station cooler that literally collapses around them, everyone survives but just barely, people are crying and screaming, telling total strangers "I love you!" and shit, it really shows the human side of things. And like I said, nervous laughter is a thing, and I get that, like, I'm the kind of person who will probably be cracking jokes on my death bed. But some of the younger "TH-camr" storm-chasers are unbelievably disrespectful. IMO if you're gonna post video of a whole town's lives being destroyed, you need to keep the "HEY MAKE SURE U SMASH DAT LIKE BUTTON" shit to yourself. Jimmy here gets it. The video lets mother nature speak for herself, no commentary needed (the info text from Jimmy is perfect, just enough information, explaining that he's trying not to film shell-shocked storm victims, etc).
@@TheGhostWriterGirl i remember that video. It happened in Mississippi, I currently live in this state. The guy in question is from Texas and had two other individuals with him. During the video while in the gas station, he asked them if they survived, subscribe to his channel.
This is terrifying. My heart hurts whenever I hear about hurricanes on the news. It really makes me appreciate not having to go through this, there barely are any tornadoes in my country. Stay safe you guys.
wow....simply mesmerizing. I'm impressed with your stamina. I was in Puerto Rico when Dorian passed by us then hit The Bahamas. We were spared but damn you got hit hard! I love to watch just as much as you love to record. Thank you for posting this incredible footage.
I thought the footage from iCyclone (Josh Morgerman) was intense, and it was. This is next level intense, absolutely ball tearing, off the chain, psycho level madness. The fact this system stalled for so long and prolonged the agony for many is just heartbreaking, but I have to praise you for your compassion and consideration in your choices made, to not film people directly, and understanding that some things just don't need a camera shoved into them. Well done and you have a new fan subscriber, who looks forward to seeing more of your work and exploring your channel.
Those winds are insane, can't even see past the trees because it's a white out from all the rain and wind. Those palm trees are boss level, watching them hold out, just wow. Also that palm tree that breaks after part of the roof slams into it, that thing was like the calm in the storm, just stood there, motionless at times.
@@deeboddavis1031 We had to walk in this to find help. Hold on to trees. My uncle was thrown from tree to tree. Something flew and knocked all of his teeth out of his mouth. It was way worse. We had to find our way in this.*
@@Champion-0717 thank u for the corrections. I was shaking thinking about it. Still have not recovered from this storm. We lost everything. Including family, friends and neighbors.
Agreed... I was incredibly fortunate with the geography and wind direction that mitigated the surge. Other parts of the island, even just a few km away, were not so lucky. We took in many refugees in the eye, some of whom said they had to swim for their lives when their houses were destroyed or water rose too high.
Holy hell that was intense. Like a tornado that lasted hours upon hours. I live in Central Florida but have been lucky enough not to experience anything quite this bad. Worst I have been through was Charlie and I think it was only a Cat 3 by the time it passed over me...glad you made it!
Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Hayian are the 2 craziest 🌀 I've ever seen footage of. This storm to me is the worst to ever make landfall due to the length of time it hovered over the Bahamas. Not to mention being surrounded by water the storm didn't even weaken like it would going over land. I've been in a few hurricanes, Wilma was a Cat 3 when it came over south Florida and Irma was a cat 4. This must be exhilarating, scary and devastating all at the same time. Rollercoaster of emotions I'm sure. Props on the incredible footage!
This is some of the most incredible footage I've ever seen, of any weather event! Those winds were of incredible violence, I've never seen footage like that. An excellent intercept and incredible footage from a terrible event.
Brutal. I can't believe he stood there and filmed through this. Wow. I've lived in Florida all my life and I fear this, because we are now a population that CANNOT evacuate due to HUGE overpopulation and these newcomers have NO idea what they are doing here. I have spoken to a few who don't believe they are vulnerable and don't worry about the consequences. Thanks for showing everyone what hurricane hell looks like.
The fact that this thing was only a hundred or so miles west of florida is insane. You guys are so lucky that this storm turned north, too bad it didn’t do so before it hit the bahamas
Oh no I plan on moving there eventually I will be out of there if something like this were to ever happen. I'll leave the filming up to someone else also.
@@tinobenfante7315 90 miles East of Miami, 50 miles off Palm Beach. A Monster and it would've changed Miami forever. It's probably just a matter of time.
Oh man. In the worries about Covid and the hustle-and-bustle of daily life I'd about forgotten Dorian and the Bahamas. Awesome footage of terrible times,what a monster that storm was. Those worst affected who survived are sure to be suffering the effects still. Pray for them and the Bahamas.
Thank u for this. Yes we still are. Alot of homes are still not restored. We lost everything. An now this covid make it even harder just to work an take care of families
Wow !!! I don’t even know what to say to that. That wind was insane. That’s like an F5 tornado that goes on for hours and hours. Great footage. That must have been amazing to watch. Glad your safe. Thank you for the footage.
Well not quite. An EF5 tornado would rip the trees from the ground, level the house, and possibly tear the foundation out of the ground. This is like a lower range EF4. Still incredibly powerful and destructive, and for hours at a time as well, but not EF5.
@@reaIixx Thisss. No house would be standing after an EF5 tornado as horrifying as this looks it's nothing compared to an EF5. There have been tornadoes literally ripping the asphalt from the ground and leaving only foundation of homes left. This is probably comparable to an EF3-lower EF4. Still absolutely terrifying and brutal.
This is the single greatest first person footage of a hurricane ever recorded in my opinion. I would wager to bet that if they actually looked into it. This set records for fastest non-tornado wind speed recorded by video. Probably a host of others. The bravery it takes to literally stand there for hours and film the equivalent of a f3-f4 tornado, makes me in awe.
I’m from Minnesota. Im 30. My parents are about to retire and they bought a house in Cape Coral a few years back… last year (2022) they had the great a idea to close down their house right before Ian made landfall in south west Florida. The hurricane absolutely ravaged that area and though it didn’t get to the strength of Dorian. Ian was still still strong. This is absolutely terrifying to watch. And brings a tear to my eye thinking about the hurricanes past present and future… I love the Bahamas 🇧🇸 🪸 🐠 🫧 🤿 🦈 Thanks for the upload.
Holy cusswords. It had to be absolutely terrifying to be trapped outside during a storm of Dorian's magnitude. You did a beautiful job editing, explaining, and exercising respect. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. God be with the survivors of natural disasters like this and the PTSD that inevitably follows. ❤
This reminds me of sweet childhood memories growing up in the Caribbean. We were very poor and we lived in the smallest tin-roofed house on our street. But I had a happy home because I was loved. This is the most natural rain-on-tin-roof video that I've ever heard. Have a good night's rest to everyone. Love, joy and peace to everyone who reads this. 😊😴⛈❤❤❤
I ran across this comment again a year later so I checked your channel after seeing my response, and I finally realize that you are 100% NOT on the wrong video hahaha falling asleep to hurricanes!? I guess being in a little capsule hurled around the storms of Jupiter would be relaxing to some folks, no harm done I suppose. :)
Growing up in Philippines we had typhoons that would suck the water out of the pool its nice you make that "disturbing to sone viewers" warning because it is definitely terrifying You are a thoughtful person
..I live in south Florida and I knew that if 'Dorian' (had) come ashore here in south FL, there would be nothing left standing. ..it was a very scary time for me and many others. ..be well and thank You for this video.
I survived Andrew, being in Homestead in 1992, and it had similar winds. What was really weird is the frequency/pitch of Cat 5 winds. Their dominant, resonant, frequencies are lower pitched, like the sound of freight trains going over your roof, not higher pitched "squeechy" sounds. I think that an air mass moving over a surface at those Cat 5 velocties "bounces" in wave-like oscillations across the surface, creating almost sub-sonic vibrations, that explain the low-pitched "roar" that is so deafening.
Question, did natural selection create palms to be wind-resistant, but those same selective forces didn't make other trees to "evolve" in the same way??? Or, did the Lord create each plant family and genus to live where it will, some being more wind resistant and others not as much? Why in the windy tropics would not all trees be a flexible as Palms, if "natural selection" is such the "creative force" materialists claim it is?????
@@ricklapworthNo Rick, Mickey mouse didnt make the palm trees bend better. It was adaption over long periods of time that made them capable to stand those winds. The ones that managed to stand continued to reproduce while the ones that lacked - past winds just ripped out and damaged them so they wouldnt grow in that same area. Nature adapts.
@@ricklapworth Most trees in places like Florida that are native *are* incredibly wind resilient. Of course, palms are very flexible, but other trees like the Bald Cypress (native) simply have deep root systems. What this shows is that trees evolve to be wind resistant because ones that don't have certain adaptations (such as good root systems or being flexible) die off, and ones that do will produce children with the same features. So, in the "windy tropics", while not all trees are flexible, they are all adapted in some way to face hurricane winds (showing that natural selection does work).
I went through Hurricane Charley in Punta Gorda Florida in 2004, it was a small intense fast moving storm with winds in the 150+mph sustained range but the whole thing was over in about three hours. The thing I don’t hear people talk much about but has really stuck with me was that I could quite literally feel the walls of the house I was in “breathe” as the building contorted from the intense wind speeds, it’s something that I hope to never experience again. I hope as we go into peak hurricane season this year all who are in the paths of these storms will stay safe.
It’s crazy that this is insanely deadly, yet it does not even compare to some of the winds on other planets in our solar system. Take Neptune for example. Its winds are around 1000 mph
More like a newfound respect for cat 5 to 6 hurricanes period.. When Ida just hit the gulf coast around Grand ile. it was pretty intense too,., I never knew eye walls of cat 5's was so dramatic.. Ive been in 130 but thats it, and it wasn't even the eye wall, just otter bands, the eye of Ike hit Bolivar Peninsula, with the surge and eye wall it just whipped it out...I think it was around 140 or 150, shit this was 185 to 200 here in this storm,, smh... who would wanna stick around for that crap, ,oh right the crazy storm chasers.. I think they do it more for the thrill, and not so much for the sake of onlookers
This is absolutely incredible. Probably the strongest TC winds captured on video to date, equivalent to a EF-4/5 tornado sustained. Can't imagine what it was like for those affected, and I hope their recovery is going well.
The wind inside of an EF4 and EF5 tornado are more powerful than this, partly because of updraft and the cylic nature of the wind. Way more intense and damaging then 140 mph sustained winds. There have been EF5 tornados that have ripped fire hydrants out of the ground, torn, gas pipelines out of the ground, and thrown 20,000 lb water/oil tanks a quarter mile.
@@johnf817 Dorian made landfall with ~180mph sustained wind. Wind is funky because's the forces applied to objects are quadratic not liner. For every doubling of windspeed, *wind force increase by a factor of 4x*. So 180mph winds would exert ~60% more force on an objects than 140mph winds.
That's extraordinary, I've never seen anything like that and I've seen alot of footage. The violence of this storm was akin to a gigantic EF4- EF5 tornado sitting stationery right over you. Those palm trees are being blown around like blades of grass. Truly astonishing and terrifying 👍
These hurricanes and tornadoes are a lot more comparable than we previously realized, I think. It used to be taught that hurricane wind speeds "topped out" somewhere above 150mph, but tornadoes had wind speeds of 300mph. Now, if we compare the worst tornadoes to the worst hurricanes there may be some element of truth to the claim that tornadoes have higher wind speeds, but my understanding is that part of the reason for replacing the Fujita scale with the Enhanced Fujita scale was that structural engineers pointed out that the tornado damage that meteorologists had previously thought to be indicative of 300-mph winds could in fact be caused by winds of "only" 150 to 200 mph. tl;dr your EF-4 estimate was literally spot-on: Hurricane Dorian's sustained wind speed of 185 mph (according to Google) is equivalent to a mid-range EF-4 tornado, and the only differences were that Dorian was much larger and longer-lasting, and caused a storm surge.
@@philipmcniel4908 You're 1000% right that they've downgraded the windspeeds needed for different categories of tornado (EF0-EF5), but I think they're still very different from Hurricanes in terms of damage. Firstly, rotating and up-drafting tornadic winds produce much more structural damage than straight line winds of the same speed - that's why the cameraman here can stand on a sheltered balcony in 186mph hurricane winds, while tornadoes at that same wind speed will destroy brick homes. Secondly, you wouldn't know it from the EF scale, but there are big differences between low-end and high-end EF5 tornadoes. The EF Tornado scale is based on the damage a tornado does, and it estimates the wind speed ranges scientists believe must have caused this damage. The highest rating (EF5) is defined as "well-built houses completely destroyed and swept clean from their foundation," and the wind speed attached to this is "200mph or greater." There's no EF category for tornadoes 250+ mph or 300+ mph because there's no reliable way to measure damage greater than what is basically total destruction. But we know that tornadoes can get that fast! There are at least 2 on record with radar-measured wind speeds above 300 mph (Moore 1999 and El Reno 2013). At those speeds, we see things like train cars thrown hundreds of yards and plumbing pipes ripped out of the earth, and we never see that kind of phenomenal damage with hurricanes. This article (published after the massive 2011 tornado outbreak) explains the differences pretty well: miami.cbslocal.com/2011/04/28/hurricanes-no-comparison-to-tornadoes/

Amazing footage . Not to downplay the video but this hotel is on the southern side of Marsh Harbour , on the south side of a hill , the north winds hit the north side even harder , pushing waves across the island , thats why locals just 1/2 mile away were not able to record it . When the eye passed just a little north the winds shifted south west and still not directly onto this shoreline. Towards the end of the video you can see what us locals had to deal with afterwards , after all local law enforcement was evacuated. Foreign news crews choosing not to video the looting was a mistake in my opinion. Show the truth to force governments to deal with it . No doubt one of the best Hurricane videos ever
Some of the best footage of a cat-5 hurricane I have ever seen. Those winds had to be close to 200 mph if not higher. Great job and thanks for sharing..........

My cousin was home alone with her pets. She felt like the whole house was about to lift off and suddenly got the urge to grab the animals and run to the bathroom. At that moment the whole roof lifted off the house and even heavy objects were found strewn far from the house after so they all would’ve likely been killed if she hadn’t moved at that moment.
OH MY GOD!! That had To be so terrifying I’m sorry your cousin had to go trough that

This is among the best hurricane footage out there! Does a good job capturing the sheer chaos and destruction. Some of those hardwoods are delimbed to a degree seen with EF-3+ tornadoes. It is never good when susceptible Islands or areas are hit, let alone by a stalled hurricane.

This is the most intense Hurricane footage on the internet, this is better than any of the footage captured during Haiyan or any other hurricane, only one I can think of that comes close are the Mexico Beach Hurricane Michael videos. I can’t even imagine what Haiyan, Patricia, and Tip looked like at their worst if this is anything to go off of. Most chasers at the hurricanes peak turn the cameras off and take shelter, but you were at an angle where you could keep filming the worst of it. Great job man, you’ve recorded the most insane hurricane footage on the internet (so far)..
You should see this.
Typhoon Goni (First view videos on the compilation were shot near or at the first landfall area where Goni broke the record of Haiyan's Landfall)

Though caught by amateur videos i think the winds were equally violent as dorian.
@@anemojin4384 Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Goni! Yeah those videos are pretty intense too, but I still don’t think it’s as impressive as the ones captured here (even tho Goni was stronger ofc). The first two videos are definitely the most impressive, but it also seems more like there were just very intense white out conditions captured during the inner eyewall, rather than the people filming managing to catch the worst of it. (Cause again, most people take shelter during the worst part of a Cyclones landfall, this Dorian video was just a circumstance of the guy filming being extremely lucky at the angle he was at).
@@cognitiveinterlace715 that i will have to agree on, had there been no pandemic and travel ban wasn't implemented at those times then maybe some storm chasers would be able to film the worst of the storm.
This is probably also very similar to the conditions observed during the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane that completely decimated Islamorada, Marathon, and Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad.

@@riverdelta7052 Yeah, like there's one video, I think from Joplin or Moore, I don't remember, where the storm chasers take shelter in a gas station cooler that literally collapses around them, everyone survives but just barely, people are crying and screaming, telling total strangers "I love you!" and shit, it really shows the human side of things. And like I said, nervous laughter is a thing, and I get that, like, I'm the kind of person who will probably be cracking jokes on my death bed.

Agreed... I was incredibly fortunate with the geography and wind direction that mitigated the surge. Other parts of the island, even just a few km away, were not so lucky. We took in many refugees in the eye, some of whom said they had to swim for their lives when their houses were destroyed or water rose too high.
Holy hell that was intense. Like a tornado that lasted hours upon hours. I live in Central Florida but have been lucky enough not to experience anything quite this bad. Worst I have been through was Charlie and I think it was only a Cat 3 by the time it passed over me...glad you made it!
Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Hayian are the 2 craziest 🌀 I've ever seen footage of. This storm to me is the worst to ever make landfall due to the length of time it hovered over the Bahamas. Not to mention being surrounded by water the storm didn't even weaken like it would going over land. I've been in a few hurricanes, Wilma was a Cat 3 when it came over south Florida and Irma was a cat 4. This must be exhilarating, scary and devastating all at the same time. Rollercoaster of emotions I'm sure. Props on the incredible footage!

@@reaIixx Thisss. No house would be standing after an EF5 tornado as horrifying as this looks it's nothing compared to an EF5.

This is the single greatest first person footage of a hurricane ever recorded in my opinion. I would wager to bet that if they actually looked into it. This set records for fastest non-tornado wind speed recorded by video. Probably a host of others. The bravery it takes to literally stand there for hours and film the equivalent of a f3-f4 tornado, makes me in awe.
With wind gusts at EF5 strength (above 200mph).
I’m from Minnesota. Im 30. My parents are about to retire and they bought a house in Cape Coral a few years back… last year (2022) they had the great a idea to close down their house right before Ian made landfall in south west Florida. The hurricane absolutely ravaged that area and though it didn’t get to the strength of Dorian. Ian was still still strong. This is absolutely terrifying to watch. And brings a tear to my eye thinking about the hurricanes past present and future… I love the Bahamas 🇧🇸 🪸 🐠 🫧 🤿 🦈

I survived Andrew, being in Homestead in 1992, and it had similar winds. What was really weird is the frequency/pitch of Cat 5 winds. Their dominant, resonant, frequencies are lower pitched, like the sound of freight trains going over your roof, not higher pitched "squeechy" sounds. I think that an air mass moving over a surface at those Cat 5 velocties "bounces" in wave-like oscillations across the surface, creating almost sub-sonic vibrations, that explain the low-pitched "roar" that is so deafening.
Wow, incredible footage. Holy cow.
It’s crazy how palm trees evolved and adapted to the high winds and rain. Their just dancing in a Cat 5…
Question, did natural selection create palms to be wind-resistant, but those same selective forces didn't make other trees to "evolve" in the same way??? Or, did the Lord create each plant family and genus to live where it will, some being more wind resistant and others not as much? Why in the windy tropics would not all trees be a flexible as Palms, if "natural selection" is such the "creative force" materialists claim it is?????
@@ricklapworthshut up rick
@@ricklapworthNo Rick, Mickey mouse didnt make the palm trees bend better. It was adaption over long periods of time that made them capable to stand those winds. The ones that managed to stand continued to reproduce while the ones that lacked - past winds just ripped out and damaged them so they wouldnt grow in that same area. Nature adapts.
@@ricklapworth Most trees in places like Florida that are native *are* incredibly wind resilient. Of course, palms are very flexible, but other trees like the Bald Cypress (native) simply have deep root systems. What this shows is that trees evolve to be wind resistant because ones that don't have certain adaptations (such as good root systems or being flexible) die off, and ones that do will produce children with the same features. So, in the "windy tropics", while not all trees are flexible, they are all adapted in some way to face hurricane winds (showing that natural selection does work).
This footage is a valuable contribution to the historical record. It's the polar opposite of disaster porn. Well done!
Those trees went from chillin, to dancin, to head banging, to moshin.
I went through Hurricane Charley in Punta Gorda Florida in 2004, it was a small intense fast moving storm with winds in the 150+mph sustained range but the whole thing was over in about three hours. The thing I don’t hear people talk much about but has really stuck with me was that I could quite literally feel the walls of the house I was in “breathe” as the building contorted from the intense wind speeds, it’s something that I hope to never experience again. I hope as we go into peak hurricane season this year all who are in the paths of these storms will stay safe.
It’s crazy that this is insanely deadly, yet it does not even compare to some of the winds on other planets in our solar system. Take Neptune for example. Its winds are around 1000 mph
I was thinking the exact same thing watching this lol
I now have a newfound respect for Palm Trees.
That hurricane made those strong palms look like toys.
Absolutely a strong tree. Others would have been flung have way to California
More like a newfound respect for cat 5 to 6 hurricanes period.. When Ida just hit the gulf coast around Grand ile. it was pretty intense too,., I never knew eye walls of cat 5's was so dramatic.. Ive been in 130 but thats it, and it wasn't even the eye wall, just otter bands, the eye of Ike hit Bolivar Peninsula, with the surge and eye wall it just whipped it out...I think it was around 140 or 150, shit this was 185 to 200 here in this storm,, smh... who would wanna stick around for that crap, ,oh right the crazy storm chasers.. I think they do it more for the thrill, and not so much for the sake of onlookers

And that sucker stationed a lot over those islands, barely moving as I remember!
It was catastrophic!
This is absolutely incredible. Probably the strongest TC winds captured on video to date, equivalent to a EF-4/5 tornado sustained. Can't imagine what it was like for those affected, and I hope their recovery is going well.
You dont want to imagine
I’ve been in an EF3 around 2 and a half months ago (wind speed of tornado: ~140 mph/225 kmh)
The wind inside of an EF4 and EF5 tornado are more powerful than this, partly because of updraft and the cylic nature of the wind. Way more intense and damaging then 140 mph sustained winds. There have been EF5 tornados that have ripped fire hydrants out of the ground, torn, gas pipelines out of the ground, and thrown 20,000 lb water/oil tanks a quarter mile.
@@johnf817 Dorian made landfall with ~180mph sustained wind. Wind is funky because's the forces applied to objects are quadratic not liner. For every doubling of windspeed, *wind force increase by a factor of 4x*. So 180mph winds would exert ~60% more force on an objects than 140mph winds.

Those palm trees are being blown around like blades of grass. Truly astonishing and terrifying 👍
These hurricanes and tornadoes are a lot more comparable than we previously realized, I think. It used to be taught that hurricane wind speeds "topped out" somewhere above 150mph, but tornadoes had wind speeds of 300mph. Now, if we compare the worst tornadoes to the worst hurricanes there may be some element of truth to the claim that tornadoes have higher wind speeds, but my understanding is that part of the reason for replacing the Fujita scale with the Enhanced Fujita scale was that structural engineers pointed out that the tornado damage that meteorologists had previously thought to be indicative of 300-mph winds could in fact be caused by winds of "only" 150 to 200 mph.
tl;dr your EF-4 estimate was literally spot-on: Hurricane Dorian's sustained wind speed of 185 mph (according to Google) is equivalent to a mid-range EF-4 tornado, and the only differences were that Dorian was much larger and longer-lasting, and caused a storm surge.
@@philipmcniel4908 with gust to 225 that's f5
@@philipmcniel4908 You're 1000% right that they've downgraded the windspeeds needed for different categories of tornado (EF0-EF5), but I think they're still very different from Hurricanes in terms of damage. Firstly, rotating and up-drafting tornadic winds produce much more structural damage than straight line winds of the same speed - that's why the cameraman here can stand on a sheltered balcony in 186mph hurricane winds, while tornadoes at that same wind speed will destroy brick homes. Secondly, you wouldn't know it from the EF scale, but there are big differences between low-end and high-end EF5 tornadoes. The EF Tornado scale is based on the damage a tornado does, and it estimates the wind speed ranges scientists believe must have caused this damage. The highest rating (EF5) is defined as "well-built houses completely destroyed and swept clean from their foundation," and the wind speed attached to this is "200mph or greater." There's no EF category for tornadoes 250+ mph or 300+ mph because there's no reliable way to measure damage greater than what is basically total destruction. But we know that tornadoes can get that fast! There are at least 2 on record with radar-measured wind speeds above 300 mph (Moore 1999 and El Reno 2013). At those speeds, we see things like train cars thrown hundreds of yards and plumbing pipes ripped out of the earth, and we never see that kind of phenomenal damage with hurricanes. This article (published after the massive 2011 tornado outbreak) explains the differences pretty well: miami.cbslocal.com/2011/04/28/hurricanes-no-comparison-to-tornadoes/
@@philipmcniel4908 actually that is akin to a high end ef4 tornado
@@altonruss well yes
Fun fact, Dorian was the slowest moving major hurricane ever recorded and for 4 hours moved less then a mile while over grand bahama island.
@Digby Dooright it’s just a invest right now, it’s nothing strong and not forecasted to go into the gulf by the NHC.
@@throwbiegd6627 That invest is a tropical depression and forcasted to be a major hurricane.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 I know but my point is that it’s not forecasted to go into the gulf.
Yesssss what the hell its not even moving along
Crazy that
I'm sure this footage is going to be incredibly helpful for a lot of safety measures going forward. Thank you for sharing. ✌️
Like many people,i watch a ton of TH-cam videos ,the gentleman who made this video did an absolutely fantastic job.i thank you and congratulate you on your work and dedication.thank you for offering us this incredible footage,really well done.
Stunning!! Beyond Belief!! Severe Hurricanes are crazy!
That gust @ around 6:10 has got to be close to 200 mph. Incredible.
At around 12:00 that wind speed is sustained.
Insane winds! Zero doubt that’s a Cat5. It looks like an EF4 Tornado.
Honestly it looks like a cat 100 at this point, that wind was absolutely insane
@@hcassells66 Hell yeah, and to be sustained wind at that level for that long, crazy!
@@apri1088 just absolutely insane, it ripped out the railings and big chunks of concrete, not to mention ripping a shipping container door apart, just unimaginable
@@apri1088 and stalled over my island for two days smh 🤦🏽♂️
@@Champion-0717 I would be terrified man. I love the tropics, literally anywhere near the equator but hurricanes are like the wrath of God lol glad you made it outta that storm!
The destructive power of this beast was simply amazing to watch but I imagine also frightening being there in person....thanks for sharing this 👍
Amazing footage .
Not to downplay the video but this hotel is on the southern side of Marsh Harbour , on the south side of a hill , the north winds hit the north side even harder , pushing waves across the island , thats why locals just 1/2 mile away were not able to record it .
When the eye passed just a little north the winds shifted south west and still not directly onto this shoreline.
Towards the end of the video you can see what us locals had to deal with afterwards , after all local law enforcement was evacuated.
Foreign news crews choosing not to video the looting was a mistake in my opinion. Show the truth to force governments to deal with it .
No doubt one of the best Hurricane videos ever
Some of the best footage of a cat-5 hurricane I have ever seen. Those winds had to be close to 200 mph if not higher. Great job and thanks for sharing..........
