HURRICANE IAN - INSIDE the EYEWALL & Shocking Storm Surge
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2024
- Hurricane Ian slams the Florida coast, and Reed records the worst of it from Pine Island. Join Reed inside the eyewall of Hurricane Ian and watch the unbelievable storm surge progression before your very eyes. This is a LIVE weather report with more footage coming soon.
The eyewall is the most dangerous part of a hurricane, where the most severe weather and highest winds occur. The eye of the hurricane is the weakest part of it, while the eyewall, is the most dangerous and destructive part of it.
Stay safe!

If Lt. Dan had both legs, he would've been a storm chaser just like this guy. Friggin insane 🤣 but awesome!
Lol thank you sir
He saw too many episodes of Twister!
If Lt Dan had both legs he wooda boinked gumps mom like the school superintendent
Absolutely! Lt Dan vibe for sure!
Fuckn Toni Miller Nikki m all at house held hostage me on film
This guy is a wildman. I saw his videos for first time yesterday him chasing a tornado in like kansas or sum and now this guy is Florida with us and actually out in it. Respect man. You are like the Steve Erwin of catastrophic weather. Stay safe.
lol get on the hurricane and ride it like a crock
Crikey!!! What a beauty!!!
He is a professional storm chaser
@Big Griff - Well, if you just discovered Reed, you're in for a treat. Some of the most outstanding, outrageous, spectacular extreme weather footage known to the human species awaits you, captured by Dr. Reed Timmer. Yeah, he's a wildman, but that's what it takes to record the phenomena he intercepts. But it's more than that; he's in it for the science. He knows what he's doing, and you'll learn a lot from his videos.
Yep 🎉
If anyone is nervous about the storm I have calming videos that will help
Thank you so much
Thanks :))
Thanks!!!!
@@dylanconnors9083 you’re welcome it’s crazy!
@@Xthemusicguru of course!
No amount of professionalism can compensate for the risk in this kind of situation. That being said, Reed is doing something that makes him wildly happy, risking his own safety (a risk that he’s quite entitled to take) and it makes ME wildly happy to hears those signature whoops of delight.
He is not acting professionally at all in this video.
@@earlysda huh? The man has a PhD in meteorology and obviously knows the dangers. This is his passion, if you can't hear it in his voice you're not paying attention.
@@bobbyheenan4061 Show this video to 7 billion people, and without doubt over 80% would say he is not acting professionally at all.
My neighbors ran outside in a strong typhoon because some of their carport panels were being blown away. They were just as unprofessional as this Mr. Reed is.
Having a PhD doesn't make one intelligent.
@earlysda
Reed knows exactly what he is doing. It may not seem like it to the untrained eye, but his actions are calculated risks, all drawn upon from, yes, his education and decades of experience.
@@prima808 Prima, you are cetainly welcome to support an unprofessional action.
I choose not to.
You’re an absolute BEAST, Reed! I love your videos, and the fact that you stood out there in a category 4 hurricane... you’re braver than I’d be. Thank you for capturing this!
Smiling the whole time! Geez, Reed, you must be the only guy on the planet who gets his kicks like this! Thanks for taking us where no man in his right mind would want to go! Prayers for your safety!
Tons of people love storm chasing….
I’d like to stand there for 5 min lol
I feel so sorry for everyone affected, Reed please keep yourselves safe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Florida has been getting hit by hurricanes for centuries. I do not feel sorry for anyone that lives there... it was their choice knowing full well that their property would get destroyed by one. As a U.S. citizen and a non-Florida resident, I am getting sick and tired of my Tax Dollars going to bail them out every year.
@@BL-jt3qt If you don’t like it then leave! Go to Russia they don’t use their tax dollars to help those in need.
@@cliffordsoukup2472 It would be cheaper for U.S. Tax Payers to move all of the Floridiots out, then fence off Florida and let it grow back to the swamp land that it originally was instead of spending Trillions of dollars to keep rebuilding it.
It makes me sad to see the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. God bless and protect Florida and all who have been affected by this monster storm. Mr. Reed I hope your ok.
@@lucymartinez4182 ... with that kinda excitement, he's more than ok ... may GOD protect them both and the people in Florida !
Lost our house, truck, 2 ebikes, everything we own, but saved our dogs. Grateful
I lost both my cars and most of my house to the 3foot water that came through my house. Mercifully my dogs and cats weren't hurt. But I never thought the wind would never stop. I have been through a number of hurricanes from hurricane Hazel to this one and this was the worse one. Hope we don't get another like this
Your last 150 mph storm was 18 years ago, so if your over 60, odds are that you won't live to see another. If your under 40, you'll probably see several.
Also lost my house to it because I’m in a rural area only like 5 feet above sea level next to a river so the river flooded into my house but I’m fine now rebuilding my house in a year
I pray we never get another one like this. I was in Placida in my home during the worst of the storm & I agree it seems like it would never let up. I don’t know if I could stay for another one like this & i’ve been down here for 26 years and lived through many storms & I was never frightened until this one. I’ve never been paranoid before but I think we’re all getting a little paranoid when we’ve lived through a storm like this. 🙏
Standing in the eye wall of a category 4 hurricane, just a few mph short of category 5. Holy crap!! As I sit here in sunny Tennessee.😂 The most passionate storm chaser on the planet that ever was or ever will be. Legendary.
Stay safe 🙏
Absolutely 💯
If you think you think this is really a high cat4 landfall you’re as gullible as the day is long.
I know right. Im in nashville and i am loving our weather finally. Fall and spring is my favorite weather for sure here
@@froggynzack oh it has been amazing. We are at a campground right now soaking in the fall weather.
Reed you are an absolute beast!!!! Pumping out content literally right in the middle of a storm! You are taking it up to a whole new level! People don't actually understand what goes into getting this to premier so quickly. You and your team are GOATS
@@zacc2462 It’s called passion!
@@zacc2462 To be fair to him he is also gathering his own data with his own sensors too,but yes he is a bit of a madlad
Thanks for watching, never stop chasing
The GOAT
@@ReedTimmerWx Always!! This is what real passion looks like! You are a Legend Reed!
This guy is crazy. I love him for it! I’m working out here and have seen the damage it’s caused, hats off to everyone who stayed during this storm.
There is no better high than the high you get when you're there in the thick of it watching, hearing, feeling, experiencing mother nature unleashing her truly awesome power. I am so jealous of what you do. If you ever need a navigator or back up driver or all around helper, I'll do it for free just to be able to learn and experience weather at its most extreme!
Thank you, Reed, for being there so we don't have to!
you would feel the need to be there if he wasnt?
@@PFA... Yes, absolutely. If Reed wasn't there, I'd feel the need to be there. ;) Duh. :P
Technically, he doesn’t have to be there either lol
Why would you have to be there? We've seen these storms for decades now. One day this guy is gonna lose his life. For what? We've seen them for decades. Nothing new
@@Whom-Shall-I-Send-Send-Me you mean like the CNN Dan Rather wannabes out there blowing sideways all day?
Hold on! Is he in the middle of the eye of the storm? I'm in central Florida, already hunkered down and the wind gust is only @ 45 mph , right now.....Jeez man! this is beyond unbelievable. You were born for this 👏😱😳
you got hit by it to?
Reed racing to meet the eye wall while dodging downed trees screaming "WWOOOOOW" or the "wait till you guys see this" and show us the waves in this video. I'll never forget it, what a ride!
😮 greetings from coastal Mississippi. Reed you are my favourite of storm chasing. I have followed you for years. Thank you for your coverage. Stay safe in your adventures. Mississippi welcomes you🎉
Reed is DOMINATING IAN!!! Reed is always in the thick of every storm and is always willing to capture unbelievable footage!!! BE safe Reed!!!
HELLO 👋 my dear friend ♡ShAnnOn ♡❤️ So good to see you always 😊
Nothing dominates a hurricane storm chasers are there own breed of lunacy but make no mistake this storm can end his life in a split second!!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE REED! Please be careful out there with Ian!! We needed you during Katrina. The work u do is AMAZING 👏 and the BEST 👌 👍 GOAT of all time. B safe & keep chasing.
Reed you are still a madman! Amazing footage...but its not worth your life. PLEASE take great care!
I think hes a jrk off.
Hurricane Ian was my birthday gift from Mother Nature this year! Thank you!
No words. So devastating. God Bless those affected by this monster.
Reed, pls don’t linger around those waves; I’m worried you’ll get swept away. Praying for your safety 🙏🏼❤️🩹
Has anyone heard or seen anything from him today??? I'm worried
@@suziejanc3137 He’s ok. I saw that he posted something on Twitter 5 hours ago
Some of the best storm surge footage I've ever seen. I love how Dr.Reed always gets his adrenaline rush from his storms
Yesssss!!!
I love the weather... especially storms...Reed is the only guy I know that gets within a stone's throw of a tornado and lives to tell about it...keeping in mind for those who seek to do the same please keep your personal safety in mind.. keep calm and chase on!!
Thank you for another eye opening video. It’s not anything that someone can even begin to conjure up in their mind when it comes to knowing how the water comes in and takes over everything. It’s so powerful! Keep on keepin on and please be as safe as possible.
I know you probably wont see this, but you are a legend Reed! Saw some negativity on Twitter regarding your video on the storm surge and people thinking you're insane for being at that place during a hurricane. But dont let them get you down, its amazing to feel your adrenaline during livestreaming all these storms over a year. Keep it up, already looking forward to tornado season!
This video is the only way to show what happened. This is what he does, he risked his life to show others this storm. This is what he was born to do and he's smart and knows what to do and what not to do. AMAZING FOOTAGE THANKS!!!
Stay safe Reed! No one reports weather like you do! Love your enthusiasm and dedication.
The power of it is…I have no words. Stay safe Dr. T, I’m sure you’re right where you want and are supposed to be!
Reed was just born to do this ..there’s nothing fake about his enthusiasm..he understands the danger of these types of storms , hell in 2018 he was smack-dab in the middle of Hurricane Michael mind you with the window rolled down in his truck while it was putting the beats on Pensacola and Mexico Beach..Beast mode be damned.!!!!
Absolutely insane Reed. Thankful that you always give premium content consistently.
Not insane. Passionate, thanks for watching!
@@ReedTimmerWx The conditions were crazy though. Ian has to be one of the most intense intercepts you’ve ever made. The Western eyewall hasn’t even arrived yet.
@@ReedTimmerWx What happened to dominator fore?
@@ReedTimmerWx Passionate = Coo coo for cocoa puffs.
@@JDashRider 😂😂🤣❤️
Dr. Timmer, I was closely following you yesterday with great angst and then your feed went blank. My 12 year old son and I finally felt relief when we saw your video on CNN!
Excellent job of documenting this and I hope you will be able to share details of this storm event from beginning to end. Keep up the great work.
Respect from Kentucky.
Watching from Ky as well. Go Cats & and Reed!?
Dr. Timmer: Wow, thanks for the informative look at what the actual horror a hurricane brings to peoples lives. I have never seen a storm surge before until you risked your well being to bring this to us. Stay safe.
I love seeing how happy and passionate this man is about weather. It brings a smile to my face. Great footage as always. :)
Glad you guys are all happy, people died, many lost everything, and the damage was catastrophic. Many people rode this out in complete terror. I was lucky and evacuated. Please show some respect.
Respect to this guy he’s truly out in the elements
In his car
That storm surge couldn’t even knock over a pot plant
@@Boomyboi. 4:13 alternative facts
😯😯 I'm in the UK and we rarely get hurricanes and storms like this. Respect. Totally. This is unreal and unbelievable...
I hope people are ok..
@@turnerschmidt he’s not just some random civilian going out in a hurricane this is what he does.
I love watching Reed bc he loves his job!
His excitement and enthusiasm are just THE BEST!! 🤗💙
You perfectly nailed it. Recorded the whole powerful cat 5 Ian. Nice job! That storm made a real high storm surge and most people were taking shelter. I hope you recovered from that high damaging storm.
I live in Parrish Florida, Manatee County and lived through Ian. The storm surge and all that water is insane! Thank you for showing this.
This is unbelievable. Prayers for Florida. Stay Safe Reed
I first heard of you when you came to my city last year (Houma LA) for Hurricane Ida and I thought you were nuts for being out in that beast! Especially driving all the way to Lockport to get in the eye!!! But I couldn’t stop watching because you were showing me my town flying away and being destroyed while all I could see is my neighbors roof blow away piece by piece. What you do is dangerous yet fascinating and I (and many others) thank you for it!!! Stay safe! 🌀
Legend! Great production quality! Glad you're safe!
GOAT….anyone else would be in deep trouble…But believe it or not Dr. Reed & Ian were actually Bonding. Getting along pretty well. I know Reed is just fine rn
GOAT is 100%
@@stargater2892 What the hell is GOAT???
GOAT?? what is GOAT?
GOAT? Take it from me, he got lucky. If that water would have rose just a few inches faster, he would have been swept away.
Greatest Of All Time = GOAT
God speed to you! You’re a mad man for being out in this, but I’m glad we get to see it. I would tell you to be safe, but please survive. The way you smile while that hurricane is ripping things apart behind you is amazing to watch. You’re doing what you were made for.
GOD SPEED - Why did your "GOD" do this to the people of Florida ???
@@mikeoxlong5843 get a life, sir.
@@mikeoxlong5843 You'll find out one day.
Reeds crazy but we love him for it. Most of us could never understand how dangerous these storms are during without him
We couldnt?
Hurricanes are incredibly dangerous.
Ignorance is more dangerous.
yes, reed is sooo sexy too
I think that's a good doctor has a wild side thank you Dr Reed for showing your wild side and be careful and stay safe
I know exactly how dangerous a hurricane is 😂
Reed getting the best storm footage for us and doing in with a smile 😅
Most of all, I trust you are safe! Thank you for all you do!
You're loco Reed! Great video!
I'm loving to know how in the world you can get a live stream and video from near the eye of an almost Cat 5 hurricane?!? Your cell provider or whatever you are using should really be a sponsor!
This can't be live, can it?
Maybe the start of the storm, but NY the time the eye is close... power is out.
@@zenwilds2911 Isn't the eye of the storm quiet? It's the chaos swirling around it that makes all the noise.
@@elizabethbathory6144 yeah the eye is the calm silent pause in between the storm
I love this. I love the Power of the Ocean surf barrelling toward land, I love the howling wind and the dare! Hope everyone was safe in the video. Thanks for sharing!
Reed great job !!! The strength of the surge is amazing !! Thanks for up close view and video !!!
You Sir, are a legend. Thanks for all that you do.
Mad respect to you Reed. Can't believe you managed to post this so fast!
Man. Remember when we had to use videotape? Or even 16mm film? Now you just record and upload.
Of course, doing it in THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKIN' HURRICANE, takes it to a whole new level.
@@Vulpine407 The fact that network communications were still running is amazing!! I would have though cell towers would have been destroyed in this, or their connection to the network severed.
Crazy Reed Timmer, hes my kind of guy, who else would greet the storm with open arms!
Great work Reed I totally feel your every howl in the face of such force of nature.
Great work.
Prayers to everyone in this wicked paths way. How devastating. Praying the elderly got evacuated and animals as well. Thank you for sharing this. Please be safe.
Yeah, prayers will make everything like new again.
Reed is the 🐐. I don’t know how you do it, simply amazing. I hope Florida survives this. Prayers to all in its path.
I was watching Reed LIVE when he arrived at this residence. The drive there became more and more crazy. I was shocked but not surprised he continued on his mission.
This was absolutely amazing to see it first hand! Thank you
The dedication displayed by Reed is inspiring. Well done my brother. Godspeed
Outstanding! Have been getting the best coverage n storms probably since the beginning of the internet! Can always depend on Reed! Like I told some viewers when your stream went down, "Don't worry! Reed is in his happy place!" "Never Stop Chasing"💪
It's insane that he could even stand during those winds. I love the yellow headband!
Thanks for the continued reporting through that.
You are doing an awesome job! I survived Laura. My friends are in the pathway of Ian. Praying for your safety
My 90 yo dad and my sister are in Sarasota. I don't know why they didn't evacuate. My dad is still sharp minded though, and isn't incapacitated physically in any way. So I guess there's that. Being a retired commander in navy I suppose he's been in nasty weather on the oceans! I'm in Idaho so nothing i could've done!
Stay safe Reed, sending you love from England x
I wish I had 1/10th of the dedication and determination this dude has...im crapping my pants just watching this...prayers to everyone effected by this and rip to those lost
Imagine you stayed ,you look in your back yard and this man is there commentating lmao
This is incredible Reed! It takes a lot to push us this content while you are out there man!
Reed, new subscriber here - watched your show on Nat Geo and WC many years prior. Have always appreciated the storm coverage, information and EDUCATION you provide! Be safe with that savage storm surge! We're looking forward to your continued content! We hope Dominator 3 is still ok, and not submerged!
I think it's gone. I saw photos of the front end submerged. Looked like a total loss to me.
Very intimate meeting you've had with the most powerful mother of all ! No helmet no goggles just raw 👌 Bring It On Momma @ Nature ☮️
Reed you ALWAYS have the best footage!!! Cant get any better then the video like we are standing in the middle of eyewall!
This is so awesome! You're deep in it showing the strength, yet not blowing around like mainstream media heads. When you move from the wind we know it's real!! Stay safe out there and thank you!
Omg, Reed-it is amazing that you sem to have no fear! Thank you for going out into the storms so that we know what is going on but remember Tim. I have been watching you since you first started (20 years?). Stay safe! 😳 🌪⛈ 👏❤️👍
Probably starts with education in meteorology, climate sciences and or geophysics. If you love it enough, it can be done.
Reed you're an absolute LEGEND.
Reed is elite at a whole different level. There's storm chasers who chase this stuff and then there's Reed, he doesn't chase it he stands in the heart of it.
You're a legend Reed! Much love from Little Rock, Arkansas!!! Stay safe brother! ❤💪🏽🙏🌀🌧
I thought this guy was crazy and then I realized its Reed from Storm Chasers. Holy crap dude, still going strong. Amazing content. Please be safe.
My man you a different breed of storm chaser!! Thank you for getting this footage and breaking it down for us visually
Just crazy to watch, but also great to watch you enjoy what you do. Thank you!! Stay safe, please.
I hope this is you uploading! We are all worried about your safety, but this is going to be an incredible story for you to tell!!
Thank you very much for showing us exactly what we wanted to see..I appreciate what u did..
This footage is insane. Glad you’re safe
You are a boss! You are not like one of those weather reporters that fakes like he's blowing in the wind, you're the real deal! Stay safe!
I remember that video. Reed is something else. He doesn't have the time for acting.
It is so good to see you are ok.
I used to watch his stuff in Texas all the Time.I experienced the hurricane because I live in Fort Myers.And it wasn't a picnic. This Guy has some Big Balls.
I cannot believe how I survived hurricane Ian, and we were hit with the worst part, I was screaming and crying as it picked up, I thought I was gonna die, but, I didnt, and I'm thankful
Watching this I get a feeling how amazingly strong Ian is. Respect. Be save.
Sorry to hear about your car dude. Amazing footage as always from you. Be safe.
What happened to his car? Am new to this channel. Saw people talking about him on a different channel early this afternoon so I came over but I also had to go out for a couple of hours. He's amazing!
It got hit by storm surge. He definitely is amazing. He is by far the best storm chaser. If you just found him, you have days worth of footage of tornadoes , hurricanes, blizzards, floods, fires, you name it !!
Ohmygoodness!! Thank you so much for this amazing live video!!! 🙌
Hurricane Ian was truly one of the worst storms of the 21st century so far-now it has been confirmed to have been a Category 5 as well. Epic.
Reed, I love your energy and passion! A man doing exactly what he loves. It's wonderful. Just stay safe please.
Sorry for your Dominator Reed but glad you are safe
I’m in Cape Coral, Lee county. This storm… was unreal. I can’t put it into words. As someone who’s gone through so many hurricanes this.. wasn’t even in the same category. Like it didn’t even seem like a hurricane, it felt like the end of the world. Ten days later.. and it still feels like the end of the world.
I hear you. I’m in downtown Ft Myers on the Caloosahatchee. This hurricane went for 10 hours. It felt like it was never going to end. And all the devastation and destruction everywhere is heartbreaking.
Dr. Timmer, you are a brave soul. Thankful you’re ok.
I watched most of your live stream and watching you drive 30 miles to pine island in hurricane conditions was incredible and seeing the surge start as you got there was insane
This Truly is Incredible Reed!! There's Nobody as Brave as You!! I just Can't Get Over This!! Please Stay Safe!! My Prayers are With You!!🙏💕🙏
Brave?
@@gordonhopkins4658 He is literally standing in the storm surging water in a hurricane. This is in an evacuated city. He may be crazy, but he definitely is brave.
@@bl8388 Yes He Sure is!! Thank You for Commenting!!
@@bl8388 i think more like crazy.
Glad you made this into a video sir watching this real time was horrific, you understand I lost a pair of pants sitting in my living room. Be safe and thank you for what you do.
Reed you are absolutely amazing!! I've always been a big fan of you and seeing you do this stuff is truly amazing. I live in Fort Myers Florida and we got hit hard and I'm doing good, Keep up the great work man and stay safe! ❤
I live in the UK and when I was 7 there was a hurricane and it was bloody awesome and I wanted to see another one ever since, but that's unlikely over here. This guy is amazing, good job on getting great footage for everyone to see!
I bet those "hurricanes" in yer colon every Friday night after a dozen pints and curried goat aren't so "awesome" are they lad ?
I can assure you a hurricane of this proportion would change your mind on that idea of wanting to see another
@@skygge1006 agreed! We live in Cape Coral just about 8 miles from here. They eye of the storm went directly over us. It was horrible. We didn’t evacuate as the storm wasn’t supposed to hit us. By the time they realized it was coming for us it was too late. And besides, all the gas stations were out of gas anyways so there was nowhere to go. We were all hiding in a small bathroom on our house with motorcycle helmets and football Helmets on at one point. At one point we thought our roof was going to blow off. We had hurricane winds at our house for over 18 hours. Gust to 140mph. It was pure hell.
Lesson learned. If it even looks remotely close to hitting us in the future we’re out of there.
You can’t even get to pine island where this video was filmed anymore. The storm blew the road out at the bridge.
I have lived here my whole life and can tell you this is absolutely devastating!
This guy is WILD. Best coverage I've seen today. Thanks!
This is Absolutely Amazing footage !!!! Brave so Brave !!! Your a huge smile that’s changing the world one storm at a time!!! Thank You 🙏 again Reed… Great footage !!!
That's incredible! Never seen what a storm surge actually looked like. Amazing!
You are either incredibly brave or insane! This is some great footage, Reed. Glad it's not me down there.
