- Category 3 Hurricane Fabian with sustained winds of 120mph (193km/hr) slams into Island Paradise Bermuda. Special software processing brings you this story in HD. See the worst Hurricane to hit Bermuda in 80 years score a direct hit on the tiny island. Footage shot by storm chaser Jim Edds in Sept. 2003.
If you ever experience a hurricane in Bermuda again, do not place your luggage in the tub. Fill your tub with fresh water.
Great video Jim. I watch this again and again🎉. I remember this storm having just returned back to Bermuda 🇧🇲 at that time.
I wonder why my response is not showing up here? oh well, thanks for watching Lisa, I need to go back for some fun R&R on the Beach!
Fascinating! Thank you for uploading
Jim thank you for this. I'm a Bermudian born and raised, and I've never seen such good quality footage of the storm. I was 9 when it hit and remember a lot about it, easily the worst storm in my lifetime. Good to know you guys still think about us these days, and footage like this still exists out there in the world.
You bet Andrew . . . being 2003 it was originally shot on miniDV tape which is that old TV box 720x480 SD format. I used a special program to upres it to HD, took 24 hrs to convert and it crops to give you 16x9 but I think it looks pretty good. Thanks for watching.
Nice Jim 👍 have a safe trip
It’s crazy how this small island got a direct hit, great video
Again, like Emily, I had a abnormal experience with this hurricane. I lived in Paget on S Hill at the time. I woke up the next morning to find my parents and siblings had a difficult time in St George’s. I felt bad complaining that it was the most boring hurricane experience I had; only to find out a cousin, and my girlfriend’s daughter was killed! I suffered horizontal rain and a power outage; whilst they lost their lives. So sad.
oh wow, that is terrible. So sorry for your loss and to bring back those memories. Emily was very personal for you . . . thanks for sharing.
2 people died during Fabian. A woman who worked at the Police station in St George who insisted crossing the causeway even though it was closed..a police officer went with her and they were both washed away…..
So sad 😞 😥 😢 Bermuda is my favorite place in all the world. Love everything about it and her beautiful, friendly people. My heart is always with Bermuda and her people.
Hurricane Fabian was back in 2003
Stay safe out there, Godspeed
Happened in 2003
God bless you guys you are really good at what you guys do but be careful please
In City people are struggling lot from big wave.but in burmuda traingle how wil be the situation on that dangerous point 😟☹️
Intense
Greetings Jim, what editing setting is that you use to remaster videos, greetings.
waiting for the full video of Hurricane IRMA in big pine key
just upresed it in FCP, working on the Irma full version.
@@JimEddswhat is FCP
@JimEdds do you think Bermuda will see several and/or another major hurricane this year?
I could probably watch a lot of these videos if it wasn't for that rain on plastic sound. Yes I no it's for keeping camera dry. Thanks for sharing your experience with us jim please be safe
RIP to those who lost their lives that day .. ill never forget that tragic day 🤍🕊
I was a police cadet at that time 🇧🇲 was on clean up duty
Amen.
Emily was the worst one I've experienced.....I was without electricity for 18 days.
I read about Emily . . . and the locals told me that was a really bad one in 1987. To go through it must have been quite an experience. Thanks for watching Blue Byyou.
Emily was the strangest hurricane I had ever experienced! I woke up late that morning. I hadn’t even realized the hurricane passed through! On my way to work the hurricane had turned 360 degrees and struck again! I had passed a bus going to work, less than 5 minutes on my way back home it was laying on its side.
@@JimEdds there was good that came out of it as well...families and neighbours got together and helped each other out. After 18 days of army bathes and no tv ect...we finally got electricity, I was happy but there was an underlying sense of sadness....because once electricity came on everybody went back to their own spaces. All the cards and board games were once again put away to collect dust.😓
I wonder how beautifully they Took those Footage. The quality is excellent. It's hardly believe that the time is 20 years before from today. A big thumbs up for the cameraman!!
Thank you MS Islam and thanks for watching
It sure seems like there are more hurricanes this year. I retired to Thailand and Typhoon Noru passed through about ten days ago and the floods it caused are just starting to fall,..so now there are two more heading our way. My brother still lives in Atlanta and kept me updated on the flooding in Florida and Myrtle Beach S.C.
My friend went to the one in Vietnam the same time Ian hit. Wish he would have come here for Ian. Thanks for watching. I'm headed to Guam and Taiwan next month.
Great video capture of this horrendous storm. My family and I moved off the island 9 months after Fabian back to Toronto. My kids were very little when we experienced the storm so I will share with them. Thanks. I’m glad you were safe.
Always cool to chat with prople that lived through Fabian. Glad the kids get to see it and who knows maybe they will remember that time. I remember when the UK were sending aid ships down afterward and Bermuda said no thanks we got this. Islanders are tough and self reliant. Thanks for watching Dexter.
this was the worst one ive ever experienced in Bermuda. i was 13 when this happen. The water from long bay beach up in somerset came inland over 100 meters
Fabien was rated at 120mph sustained and the folks on the west side said they had the eastern part of the eye. The NHC report said Bermuda took a direct hit. A powerful hurricane by Bermuda standards and I haven't seen one hit Bermuda stronger. I need to get the map out and find long bay beach and somerset. I do remember a nice resort on a small island just off the south shore smashed pretty hard, glad I didn't stay there. Thanks for watching.
Before Fabian existed, my family and I setup a tent on Hen Island, St. George's Harbour. Day before Fabian arrived, I boarded up the very small old cottage on the island in case we needed to exit our tents. My cousin The Burp, tried to evacuate us with the Silver Dollar, a powerful fishing boat, but the winds were simply too strong. At night we slept in our tents - I had a large tarp draped and anchored over our tents... We made it through without having to seek refuge in the old cottage - I wouldn't recommend trying this. We still have the VHS video we shot in the middle of the night.
Wow, that must have been super scary. Glad you made it out unsacathed.
This storm ripped the roof of the first house i lived in as a baby
Nice documentary and you tell it so nicely done subscribed
Thank you Joseph . . . it was my first video story. I was the 1st storm chaser to go to Bermuda so everything about it was new. Bermuda is in the Hurricane Lane and they see a lot of fly-bys but not many direct hits . . . but the past 10 years it's been pretty regular for them.
I salute you sir really your not afraid big waves heaavy rain to coveredvedeo sir..your great person for me always take your self for coverd a vedeo for news...god protect you every hour and minutes to your job....keep safe
Thanks Rommel and thanks for watching.
I was 3 years old when this took place. Was always told that it was a really bad hurricane, causing tons of damage, but this video really brought to light just how bad it was. Awesome work!
I was 5 when Hazel tore up the East Coast in 1954. My dad took me outside before the storm hit Myrtle Beach, even the clouds were scary. He told me some bad $hit was on the way.
When did this happen ??
Sept 2003, thanks for watching
@@JimEdds Bermuda resident here, I was 8 months old, This is so cool to watch!
Very difficult in making this video.
Revered Jim Edds is very brave guy no doubt.
🙏🏻 thanks for the video 🙏🏻
Your welcome Akhtar thanks for watching.
My favourite storm footage of all time!
Humble dwelling ? Looks beautiful 🎉
What a great video! Thank you for sharing this peace of history.
Your welcome. Fabian was one for the record books and forever changed how Bermuda prepares for Hurricanes. Thanks for watching
I just wonder what people are thinking when they are outside standing in the wind. Any object of mass that hits them would crush their brains in.
You might think so but say the wind is coming off the water, it's what I call clean wind- there won't be any debris in it. Say you have been watching the wind ramp up and there is nothing in it so it's a calculated risk. You have to look at the conditions and decide. In Bermuda structures are made stronger than in the US. In Taiwan and Japan and Guam same thing, they build them better than the US. They get hit a lot and they don't want to keep rebuilding. But Charley 2004 Punta Gorda was not a storm to be out in. Lots of debris flying around that would hurt you no doubt about it. So I would say it depends on the storm, location, and what's upwind from you. But I would not recommend it to anyone, stay inside be safe. Thanks for watching Louis.
Hi Bermuda you gem of an island♡ ☘
Why couldn't u show us how the waves came in from the sea, and how high they were?.
Video would require I film it and I was in Hamilton for the worst of it. I did show the southern part of the island waves that morning. I made this in 2003 and computer graphics were in their infancy is the other reason. But that's a good idea for the next one, thanks for watching and for the suggestion.
Jim Edds would’ve been wet, out there was rain along with hurricane 🌀 so that he hasn’t pictures waves 🌊 to show you. By the way
Anne-Marie dear, why are you fond of waves 🌊 in your life ? Wishing to :
God bless you.
Jesus kiss you.
💋
Did that couple get married?
Yes they did. I saw them at the airport coming back. They said - we did just like you said and we filmed everything and had a great time.
Yes they did and are friends of mine:)
Would like to go there.
Bermuda is lovely and you like to play golf it's really nice. I don't play golf . . . I prefer sightseeing and learning about the island history. Take a set of nice clothes for eating out, very proper there :)
@@JimEdds I work at a golf course for a living don't get to play much tho
I like in Bermuda, thanks for sharing all these years later. I was too young to remember Fabian when it happened but I've heard so much about it.
Oh dear, at last, the longest lane has a turning indeed (Ha-Ha)! Cheers and Good luck with more videos, do keep yourself warm! Khadeeja Alghali-Rahman (London, UK)👋👍💥🤩🥳🏋️🐓🦋🦨🎼🕴️🦪🐫🐌🐓🥂🐣🐥🐠🏞️🥬🗣️🧞⛈️🏖️🌈🔨🌛
Dang
Very frightening hope your all safe 🙏
Its a old hurricane 😂 happened in 2003
yes 2003, it really changed how Bermuda responded to approaching hurricanes thereafter . . . they learned from it and improved in many areas. Such a beautiful island with the bluest water. You really have an island paradise there. Those frogs at night during the storm . . . :)
@@JimEdds 🥰🥰 i miss those tree frogs lol i call home at night just to hear them
