      +arizonatsunami It's expected. The TVs are attached to the wall, not the ceiling, and they have a much smaller surface area for the wind to act on than the roof. If the walls remain intact, it's common for stuff like that to happen. It happens in tornadoes too.

    Another intense video from a historic storm! Congratulations for this historical benchmark on hurricane chasing. As the first storm chaser you got footage inside the RMW of a cat.5 hurricane. And this by your third cat.5 in your career. The intensity difference between first and the second half is crazy! Lucky that this storm weakened significantly before it's landfall, but 145 knots are nuclear enough.

Looking at the damage that their room sustained the next morning , who knows what might of happened to them. May I ask , how far was this hotel from the coast? It seemed to be in a pretty populated area. I am amazed and that a cat 5 made landfall in what appears to be pretty humble surroundings , and I am so happy that no one had lost their lives.

      +Mike7493 Yeah, blpao is right on... it's greening up quickly (I live at Cuixmala just across the way from Zapata). By the way, when I came out of sheltering the "green" smell of shredded leaves was one of the first sensations to greet me.
      Even the day after the storm there was lots of wildlife about. On a four hour hike to and from the beach, I only saw one dead bird and one very little javelina that was clearly separated from its group.
      One group that took a hit were the hummingbirds. These guys with their high metabolism have to feed pretty constantly. The day after the storm there weren't many flowers and they were staying close to the few ornamental plants that still had flowers. The next day they were clearly weak as you could go over and pick them up. Since then, I haven't seen any.
      A friend over at the biological foundation mentioned that he hadn't seen any deer and to think of it, I haven't either. We're hoping that they pulled through as well as the big cats here (jaguars and pumas) that feed on them.

    Very intense, Josh, Erik & others. Kudos. I have a place in Cabo that got fairly wrecked by Odille the year before. Glad I wasn't there. In 2009 I was there when cat 5 hurricane John was poised to be a direct hit. John stalled at the zero hour and fell back, but I remember a day of extreme stress trying to get a flight out. Ironically I scored the best surf of my life the day before I became a quivering bowl of stress. To purposely chase that is beyond me. To each his own. Much respect.

    I will say of all the storm chaser videos of hurricanes. You by far have some of the best quality and content of any of them.. you tend to stay in one spot so you can watch the increases and decreases of a storm instead of going to 400 diff views that last 4 seconds or being inside of a car where you cant see much of anything except a wet windshield. Plus u tend to show what the locals are facing and going through.. do u plan to chase Delta in Mexico or in lousiana

    We live in Naples. My son is taking an online high school Spanish class. Recent assignment was on weather and natural disasters in this Spanish class. He had to write a report (in Spanish, yes) about a natural disaster that has *recently* struck a country where the dominant language is Spanish. We just came through Irma here in Naples (as you know, considering you were across from LaMoraga while it came through), so I did not think my 13-year-old would be interested AT ALL in writing about hurricanes.
    Wrong.
    He asked me, "Mom!? Did you see iCyclone's video?" I asked, "Which one?" He said, "Hurricane Patricia."
    My mouth fell open and I said, "Welllll, actually, yeaaaaa, I have. Why?" He said, "Defoliar." All I could do was laugh and say, "You figured out 'defoliate' in Spanish, huh?"
    I thought it was pretty amazing that you say at the beginning of the video that you think the interior room will be safer, and then you have the receipts.

  • @PanamanianMan317
    @PanamanianMan317 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The reasons why Haiyan's landfall was a lot more serious than Patricia was due to underestimation of Haiyan's strength, poor preparation therefore, and also Haiyan moved somewhat slower; not to mention Haiyan's landfalling strength was way higher. Mexican's apparently had way better preparation and the fast passage avoided more serious impact.

    • @iCyclone
      @iCyclone  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jorge Santiago Actually, some of this is not correct. HAIYAN's intensity was not underestimated. Everyone knew it was one of the strongest cyclones in history. Also, HAIYAN moved very fast at landfall-- over 20 knots-- whereas PATRICIA moved much slower-- at only 12 knots. The main reason HAIYAN caused more damage: it hit a large city (Tacloban City), whereas PATRICIA missed large cities (Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta). I agree with you about one thing: people were not prepared for HAIYAN. That is totally true.

    • @bwsullender
      @bwsullender 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jorge Santiago Tacloban was very close to the sea and there was a significant storm surge with Haiyan. Water wasn't much of an issue where Patricia made landfall. I think its been estimated that 85 to 90% of deaths associated with hurricanes/typhoons are water-related (storm surge, flooding, and landslides).
      Factors responsible for the low number of deaths with Patricia are (1) the government identified and evacuated particularly vulnerable pueblos like Chamela; (2) in 2011 Hurricane Jova came through this same area and people were aware of the seriousness of Patricia; (3) people stayed with friends and family who had particularly sturdy homes; and (4) unlike wood frame houses in the US where the stability of the entire house is compromised when the roof is lost, loss of roofs here generally did not result in the collapse of the building.
