I hope you enjoyed the video and please feel free to share your opinions on this storm below. I'm not one to exaggerate or even try to estimate wind speeds by eyeball, it's an impossible task. But comparing Nepartak to all the other category 3 and 4 storms I've filmed I'm convinced the 110kts (1 min) / 90kts (10 min) landfall intensity estimate is incorrect. Cheers!!
I would honestly say those are category 5 winds being recorded. Those gusts like the one flipping the vehicle are easily in the cat 5 range. I think the peak intensity of nepartak was underestimated and the weakening overestimated. Would be cool to see an experiment done on the same model of car seen flipping to get the windspeed
Holy moly, that looks like it was stronger than a Category 3. I felt the man's fear when the doors flew open. I live in Florida, USA and one year we had a low-end category 1 hurricane come through my area. A burst of wind appeared and forced my front doors open. It felt like everything in my body had fallen out onto the floor. It was not a fun experience. We shut the door, relatched it, and placed a couple of heavy pieces of furniture to secure the door. I will never forget that scary night.
Glad to see you upload the long footage video, I saw some shorter on News and your twitter before, but after watched this video, I realized how strong of that typhoon in 2016.
Pretty sure it was a CAT 4, it was the scariest typhoon/hurricane I have ever been in. Where I live in the UK, we usually have ex-Hurricanes that are basically hurricane strength winds that batter our coasts. But I was in Taiwan when Nepartak hit, I was in Kaosiung and later in Tainan, we took the HSR to get back before the storm got too close. it was pants-shittingly-terrifying. Great vid btw!
I never knew nerpartak was THIS strong. I live in the philippines, and the strongest typhoon I’ve experienced is the 3rd strongest in the typhoon list, Rolly. (Goni)
Amazing job documenting this storm James. Armed with your data, as well as others, maybe one day they can analyze this storm and reclassify it. Because it definitely was stronger than a Cat3 based on your video . Possibly a high end Cat4. From my experiences watching storm videos, a Cat3 doesn’t flip Autos around!! Can they? Sure but that was a very strong sustained wind. Anyways, thanks for posting it and I’ll look forward to your next one.
Thanks as always!! Yeah the cars flipped entirely is something I’ve not seen very often, and never in a cat 3 (those tiny lil Japanese cars don’t count ;)
@@EarthUncutTV Irma east of Naples did flip some vehicles, I saw that as that's where I lived at the time. Also Wilma in Miami Beach area (Cat 2) did as well. Possibly mesovorteces?
All that is holly!! Man, I envy your tungsten balls. Thank you for your courage and determination to deliver us these incredible videos. Please take care. Cheers.
It certainly appears to h Ave been more like a storm with sustained winds of 140-150 mph easily a category 4 in my opinion. What was the lowest pressure reading?
@@EarthUncutTV Interesting, but either way impressive and great footage, I really enjoy all of the footage you have created, always excellent quality you do not otherwise have a chance to witness unless you are physically present.
Maybe this was not a Cat-3 but a “Cat-Beast”, sorry 😅… Totally agreed that 125mph is a bit of an underestimate! As if the winds depicted on video weren’t enough, the morning after devastation is even more telling. Just awesome stuff as usual, James!
Jose!! Thanks so much my friend and I appreciate your input all the more given the beats your seen first hand, like Maria. I hope you and your family are all well
@@EarthUncutTV thank you so much, James! We are doing fine, hope you and your family as doing well, too. Yeah this hit appears to be on that “epic” scale. I’m glad that you and Jason were able to intercept this top-notch beast!
hi Jamas you are so talented natural phenomena like this storm it's very dangerous that people like you risk being in the center of the storm to film these realistic scenes. How long will it take you to edit Vietnam's storm Noru vlog? please make a vlog of mangkhut storm, the scene is quite good.
Thank you so much for watching. I’m not sure if I’ll edit a Noru vlog I’m afraid since the storm was weak, hit at night and I didn’t get much footage. Mangkhut is a great idea though!
@@EarthUncutTV The video of storm noru hitting Da Nang is a bit weak, but your footage is very beautiful, you can edit the video of storm noru with full footage. and your super typhoon mangkhut the footage is so intense it's a category 5 storm with very good footage. you edit it into a mangkhut storm vlog. thank you
Wow! Absolutely fantastic film, James. That was one strong cat 3! Maybe one day your footage will contribute to the reanalysis of the strength of this typhoon.
We bangladeshi face Cat 5:1991 bangladesh cyclone 1994 bangladesh super cyclone 2007 super cyclone sidr 1737 hoogly river cyclone Cat 4 Bhola cyclone Cat5 amphan Cyclone mora mohashen sitrang etc

I was there. I have been in many typhoons in Taiwan but this was something else.
You cannot tell me these winds are less than Hurricane Ian. It is lucky that storm surge wasn't a huge problem or that storm would be horrific.
Thankfully storm surge isn't an issue in Taiwan, fresh water flooding on the other hand is terrifying!
Thanks! I remember that one. Great coverage by you at the time.
Thanks so much Paul - this one was a real brute. I suspect the typhoons will return to Taiwan next year after taking a break for quite a few years

My same thought Cat 5.. So incredible & scary😧
The recorded landfall pressure for Nepartak was 911.5 hpa, I think at least that could correspond to a cat 4

Super Tyhoons usally are cat. 5 strength
Wow!! Excellent Video and story telling, James. I agree with you, the footage shows a Category 4.
Thanks so much for watching David and glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching - I'm going to be reworking old storms and releasing videos during quieter periods - lots to work on!
With winds like that, the glass shards are like bullets!
Absolutely superb, professional and objective analysis!
Thanks so much Palm - glad you enjoyed this one!
Amazing! can't go there but you could let us see the typhoon so closely all the time!
Thanks for watching!!
Well done James! As always, your video and narration are top notch!
Thanks so much Lucinda, I really appreciate that!

Now seeing this amazing footage and incredible wind speed awesome work.
Thanks for watching!!
Incredible story and footage. Thank you for sharing once again.
Thanks for watching!!
Yes I'd say it was a strong cat 4 with winds gusting to 155 mph

Thanks so much Stuart, much appreciated!

I believe it was in the 950s in Taitung with the eye passing to the south

Wow! That is just incredibly strong winds. Love your storytelling. Glad you are safe.
Thank you so much, really appreciated! I intend to make more of these types of video
This was basically your version of Josh Morgerman/Icyclone's Hurricane Odile footage
Ha yes there are parallels
160mph wind speed.
200mph wind gusts.
240mph wind accumulation.
The peak intensity was also most likely underestimated by atleast 15 mph

Bro SUPER TYPHOON 🌀
Wow! Absolutely fantastic film, James. That was one strong cat 3! Maybe one day your footage will contribute to the reanalysis of the strength of this typhoon.
Thanks so much Lois - wish we had more ground observations during this one!
My landfall analysis: 210km/h(10 min) 915mb T6.5/7.0, a high end cat4 super typhoon, near cat5
How is there power still on
Pretty wild right?
Taiwan has one of the best infrasturcture on the planet, it's reasonable that the light was on
No way this was "only" 125 mph
My thoughts exactly!
good job my friend
Thanks as always Alain
3:00 Rear window blows out
Pretty robust electrical grid.
Amazingly tough!
Ohhhh the drama! 😏
Nepartak should’ve been retired but got reused in 2021
it shows that the official analysis can always be wrong and underestimated. JTWC underestimates everything on the planet and JMA even worse!!!
We bangladeshi face
Cat 5:1991 bangladesh cyclone
1994 bangladesh super cyclone
2007 super cyclone sidr
1737 hoogly river cyclone
Cat 4 Bhola cyclone
Cat5 amphan
Cyclone mora mohashen sitrang etc
all classic monsters
Haikui had the convient store i was in's glass door blasted into peices and ceiling pieces coming down while krathon sent debris flying front of my hotel in zhouying during my chase
& that was OVER a cat5, calling that a 3,is an insult.
Shout out to Taiwan power,for keeping the power on,for as long as it did ⚡🌀🌩️
