My family is in Houma. No electricity,gas,water, healthcare, a living hell! Please please pray for the Louisiana! Two years in a row damage the entire coast of Louisiana.
~This was heart wrenching to watch this devastation. Sooooo-sory to see the animals lost also. Prayers for our brothers & sisters in this hard time.🙏🙏🙏❤
The eye was 20 miles from my house. It's the worst hurricane I've ever experienced and I've lived through Andrew, Katrina and Gustav. Ida had me drinking tequila and pacing my house. Thank God for the help. Our state needs it!
@@onlyonecaca yeap. I'm with you on that one. I've never evacuated. From Andrew to this one here in Lafourche Parish. This was the worst one for me. Not evaluating allowed me to save my house and pets. We fought the entire time to save our house. Without a doubt. If we would have evaluated. I would definitely be homeless right now. While other evaluated. But, we're still trying to help others recover from it. One day at a time. This is home
@@djboy2712 I know your parish got it worse than Houma in this video. Tell me if you don’t mind. Is anyone allowed to chase hurricanes? It’s legal right? If I was to chase a storm I would bring about 100 bottles of water with me. I know people would need it.
@@Paka1918 Yes and it was a beauty. I hope we get one more good hurricane to hit the US before the season is over. I will be praying to God it happens but why should God listen to me?
@@Paka1918 Doesnt have to be a 5. Id rather see some part of Florida get something since I live near Tampa. That way I wont have to drive and drive but whatever happens happens.
Thank you for posting this footage, Brandon! I had just moved to New Orleans with my mum-I'm a singer and musician and she's a retired art historian. This was our first hurricane as we come from the Arizona desert. Unfortunately, my mum fell and broke her hip the night b4 Ida hit and although she was safe in hospital, I had to witness Ida all alone with my kitties! I live in Kenner, proper. I also shot my own footage and photos of Ida through my front window! SO SCARY! But folks just don't get what I went through and what I saw...your footage perfectly captures what was happening outside my neighborhood! WHEW! Much appreciated because now my folks back in AZ can UNDERSTAND the magnitude! ^..^
The roar, the intensity of the rain and the speeds of those winds just incredible and Houma got the slightly weaker NW Quadrant and Ida was 130 mph when it reached this area not 150 mph and still its jaw dropping.
@@reneemaimone9288 I have videos and pictures of how it looks here buildings are literally ripped I’m half some blew away like leaves in the wind not something that could be accomplished with “64” mph winds believe me
@@danko1764 It looked like a fun storm. Im not a storm chaser but I almost went there to check it out but I had to have back surgery. Hopefully there will be another one but closer to where I live.
I was born and raised there in Houma I moved away a few months before Katrina and it breaks my heart to see everything being destroyed it's so sad thank you for being brave and shooting this footage where I live now we have tornadoes and those I'm my opinion is worse than hurricanes because they start warning you about 3 months ahead of time tornadoes just pop up at any given time and anywhere you get no warning I have been blessed because I have had them in the pasture right across the street from my house and they just traveled down instead of coming towards my house so I know God has my home and my family protected
Sadly, many creatures didn't make it. We have no way of knowing how many animals (wildlife, strays/pets, livestock, etc) didn't make it through these storms/natural disasters, all around the world ... how many babies, born/hatched in Spring, died before reaching adulthood. All loss of life is sad! 😢
and when you bombed Yugoslavia - PEACEFULS, did you think that you were changing the lives of the survivors forever? Ah, well, yes - you can bomb them, they are not first-class people - they do not hurt ...

I live through a lot of hurricanes back home on St, Croix U,S,V,I. We have to build concrete houses, to withstand hurricanes. Praying for those who have lost their homes lives and businesses.
Jesus! And for those that have never gone thru one of these hurricanes, please save your dumb 🤬 comments about people should've evacuated etc. Evacuating isn't as easy as you think.
I have evacuated in Fl and the traffic backed up for miles. Only hotel far away as Atlanta. The expense. It is hard. If you have not been through this then don't make derogatory comments.
Thank god most were evacuated and most systems worked as intended. It was shocking when I woke up late that morning and saw that ida was STILL battering LA at Cat 4... Much love from florida to the victims of Ida, stay strong and build back even stronger.
Omg.. the extremely high wind is frightening. Birds and palm trees just chilling, not a care in the world. My thoughts are with the people there as well as the recovery
Brandon, thanks for this amazing footage. Hope you weren't hurt in the process. This will help remind people what happened in Louisiana before it hit the northeast
Hope all the first responders and power lineman will stay safe as hurricane Ida passes through and hope that there is hope to see tomorrow after all the destruction. Please stay safe out there Brandon Ivey as you capture great videos from hurricane 🌀 Ida.
The birds and animals seem to fare better, I saw footage on Sunday from another chaser with a herd of cows trotting across the road to eat grass and at Green Meadow a horse calmly eating while buildings were being torn apart, it was surreal. Thank you for filming, it was sad seeing the devastation.
Look up "New England's Killer Hurricane of 1938." The wind was so strong, geologists picked it up on the Richter Scale, and thought that an earthquake had hit. The worst part was, ONE MAN knew where it was going, but nobody believed him.
Palm trees are the heaviest at the rootball and the base so even if not rooted in the ground they tend to stay standing too lol just a little fun fact from Florida 😘🤣
The strength of the American people is amazing, just this year alone this beautiful country has not only had to deal with covid, it's had forest fires,droughts, earthquakes,tornadoes, and now hurricanes, you always manage to rebuild and continue, God bless you all, love from the UK
This wasnt too bad. Ive seen a lot worse. Keep in mind they will videotape the most damaged buildings. Did you see the Grand Isle video? On my houses the foundations are all that remains.
Watching this video is the closest l will ever be to a hurricane of this strength. Some people stay and hope they get lucky and survive. I evacuated and created my own luck and survived.
@@thomasjones36 Yeap. We're just taking it a day at a time. This was the worst I've ever been through. But, we're alive. Our pets are one of the many reasons we didn't evaluate. They're safe. I've never evacuated for any hurricane. Everyone was talking about Katrina being the worse. Katrina was like a breeze compared to Ida. Katrina was more deadly because of the old levee system. That pretty much what made it seem the worse. Everyone was trapped in New Orleans from the flood waters. Which was recently updated before Ida hit us. Katrina was a category 3 when it made landfall. Ida was a category 4 when it hit us along the coast. But, it definitely felt a whole lot stronger. I got a direct hit from this one. We had nearly 200mph winds recorded in my neighborhood. Just got to have faith. Be thankful for what we all still have. The recovery is a very slow progress. We'll come back stronger. Y'all hang in there as well. With y'all tornado disaster and hurricane Ida nearly taking us off the map down here. Y'all will make it as well. We've been helping each other as much as possible. All anyone can do is try. Stay safe out there. We're Cajun. Much love and respect to y'all in Ohio
my grandma lives in Houma and they still arent letting us in to see the damage all we know is a neighbors tree fell on one of the bedrooms , this storm its not the wind and surge damage overall (compared to Katrina) its the power and water that are becoming the problem too even that level , even in places with minor damage the power is still out. i got lucky 2 days and power is back
@@roguetuber4377 hope he is ok , i know my family there is ok i just wish i could get over there and put a tarp on that hole in my mawmaws roof to stop the water damage from expanding
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 fortunately not , she is staying with my parents in slidell these days, my uncle stayed at her house because it has a generator , he was scared to death through it though
Reminds me of 08/23/92 in Miami during Hurricane Andrew…except the winds in Andrew were actually about 190mph and not what was initially reported due to Andrew “taking out” the National Hurricane Center. it was my first “real” hurricane and i went from Fort Lauderdale to Miami to be with some sick relatives who were unable to evacuate. I was outside most if the night and the noise was like a freight train in the sky with lots of green lightening. It was very surreal. Some neighborhoods in South Miami had every single home, tree, bush and street sign destroyed. Thank God we get advance warnings of these natural events nowadays.
Life-long Louisiana man...after seeing it so many times, you know what you're about to face and what you're going to deal with in the end of it. And if you plan on riding it out....when it starts, you don't have time for regrets.
My heart goes out to everyone who is affected by this. I also admire their strength and courage. I would drop dead from a heart attack if i were in a situation like this 😧
I've not personally seen sudh ferocious winds because I always slept through the storms. But I remember well the devastation afterwards. This storm is horrendous. I hope no one is killed.
i grew up going to see family in Houma as much as possible, we were able to go back less than 2 weeks after Katrina , it might be even longer until im allowed back to see it now . is going to be something i bet
Bird1: You see Larry ? All this is going to be free real estate after the hurricane, i tell you this humans cant stand this storms. Bird2: I got you Joe ! We will go all KACHING when we own all of this.
As terrible as this is for all affected, there's something relaxing about seeing mother nature tear up all the order and strictness in the streets. Straight lines being bent or broken, things being torn apart.
I know of two separate homes that people were in and the roofs blew off they were just sitting on the side of the bed looks straight up and saw the sky and rain on their face🙏😔

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land
Why do people "decide" to stay instead of evacuate and then expect others to risk their life to come and get them? If it was a club or concert 1,000 miles away people would find a way to get out of town for it but I still hope everyone gets the help they need.
Wow you're something special. Some don't have the money and means to evacuate and there was hardly any warning. If you don't have something constructive to bring to this topic... please go find a hobby.
Living there my whole life ... people are proud they don't wanna say the reality.. some of them didn't want the trouble. Some could've gotten away and would've been flat broke in a day. Prayers for us not judgement.
And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth like the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah shall blow the ram's horn, and shall go out with the windstorms of the south. (Zechariah 9:14) 17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are on you, O dweller of the earth. 18 And it shall be, he who flees from the sound of dread shall fall into the pit. And he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For the windows from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake. 19 The earth is breaking, breaking! The earth is crashing, crashing! The earth is tottering, tottering! 20 Like a drunkard the earth is staggering, staggering! And it rocks to and fro like a tree-hut! And its sins heavy on it; and it shall fall and not rise again. 21 And it shall be in that day, Jehovah shall punish the host of the high place on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth. 22 And they shall be gathered, as prisoners are gathered in a dungeon. And they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be judged. 23 Then the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and gloriously before His elders. (Isaiah 24:17-23) And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines and plagues. And there shall be terrors and great signs from Heaven. (Luke 21:11) 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. And on the earth will be anxiety of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men fainting from fear, and expecting those things which have come on the earth. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 27 And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to happen, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near. (Luke 21:25-28)
Wow, this is amazing footage, but I have a question about the creation process. How were you able to capture such great audio and video? I ask because it sounds like the microphone was in the elements, I can hear the rain splattering and the wind ripping, but theres no rain drops on the camera lens. Are you recording in a vehicle with a microphone mounted outside in the storm? That's my guess. But either way, this is an amazing video and thank you for capturing it for us.
I went through a hurricane around 2008 by myself in a small frame home over on Byron St in Houma. The eye went through Houma then also but nowhere near as powerful as Ida. Houma has the best people there that I’ve ever met…. seriously. This is a horrible thing to watch from Georgia and a hope and pray my ex in-laws in Raceland and Houma made it through ok. These people are tough as they come.
Why do people build such flimsy stuff in these areas? Those crappy signs made from sheet metal should be outlawed in those areas. and rebuild with more rounded structures that the wind can't grab onto. Just saying I know poor folks are stuck but those that can like commercial properties and power plants etc. should build with these storms in mind.
Imagine all the people who lost their homes and their jobs because of the hurricane. Buildings destroyed. Damn. I'm glad I live over here towards the West Coast. It's a nice, sunny, warm day here in Colorado.
That's the future of the human species and 90% of the rest. Loosing your home, your food source, your loved ones, your life. Complete collapse of human civilization comes as early as 2040..2060. Extinction will need some centuries.

@@flamcity so your saying god isn’t real?
@@royrivera9310 yes
my grandma lives in Houma and they still arent letting us in to see the damage all we know is a neighbors tree fell on one of the bedrooms , this storm its not the wind and surge damage overall (compared to Katrina) its the power and water that are becoming the problem too even that level , even in places with minor damage the power is still out. i got lucky 2 days and power is back
My cousin lives in houma
@@roguetuber4377 hope he is ok , i know my family there is ok i just wish i could get over there and put a tarp on that hole in my mawmaws roof to stop the water damage from expanding
She probably had quite an experience.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 fortunately not , she is staying with my parents in slidell these days, my uncle stayed at her house because it has a generator , he was scared to death through it though
@@mikesmith-wk7vy (she) and I don't know
Reminds me of 08/23/92 in Miami during Hurricane Andrew…except the winds in Andrew were actually about 190mph and not what was initially reported due to Andrew “taking out” the National Hurricane Center. it was my first “real” hurricane and i went from Fort Lauderdale to Miami to be with some sick relatives who were unable to evacuate. I was outside most if the night and the noise was like a freight train in the sky with lots of green lightening. It was very surreal. Some neighborhoods in South Miami had every single home, tree, bush and street sign destroyed. Thank God we get advance warnings of these natural events nowadays.
There was apparently a 172 mph windgust from IDA
...it was the birds for me 🤗... beautiful storm...after all, she IS a hurricane...♥️
Amazing coverage!!! Heartbreaking to see though 🥺.
Very said 😔I praying 🙏🙏🙏
that’s close to where i live and that pontoon actually wound up flipping over
OMG! i hope all you guys are staying indoors and are safe..... God Bless you all :( xx
Omg I've never seen anything like this I would be so scared I wouldn't know what to do . Praying for everyone
Life-long Louisiana man...after seeing it so many times, you know what you're about to face and what you're going to deal with in the end of it. And if you plan on riding it out....when it starts, you don't have time for regrets.
My heart goes out to everyone who is affected by this. I also admire their strength and courage. I would drop dead from a heart attack if i were in a situation like this 😧
I've not personally seen sudh ferocious winds because I always slept through the storms. But I remember well the devastation afterwards. This storm is horrendous. I hope no one is killed.
Wow 😳 it will take years to rebuild.😳
To quote a famous comedian: its not that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing
i grew up going to see family in Houma as much as possible, we were able to go back less than 2 weeks after Katrina , it might be even longer until im allowed back to see it now . is going to be something i bet
Bird1: You see Larry ? All this is going to be free real estate after the hurricane, i tell you this humans cant stand this storms.
Bird2: I got you Joe ! We will go all KACHING when we own all of this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣, comedy in the midst of a Storm. Good one there. All we need is laughter after these two years.
@@maevematthee4312 Bad things happen all the time. We can laugh a bit from time to time. What this world really needs is a good laugh.
Best wishes .
As terrible as this is for all affected, there's something relaxing about seeing mother nature tear up all the order and strictness in the streets. Straight lines being bent or broken, things being torn apart.
You would have a death wish to be out in the middle of this the flying debris could kill you especially the metal flying around
If you are in a car parked you should be fine. If you stand outside well.
I know of two separate homes that people were in and the roofs blew off they were just sitting on the side of the bed looks straight up and saw the sky and rain on their face🙏😔
Hey thanks for putting out this footage @Brandon Ivey
Wow. How did you get such impressive video?

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land
Why do people "decide" to stay instead of evacuate and then expect others to risk their life to come and get them? If it was a club or concert 1,000 miles away people would find a way to get out of town for it but I still hope everyone gets the help they need.
Wow you're something special. Some don't have the money and means to evacuate and there was hardly any warning. If you don't have something constructive to bring to this topic... please go find a hobby.
@@ashleyroundtree258 actually a lot of them said voluntarily.
I hear them say they still staying. That no matter what storm
Come, they will never leave.
Living there my whole life ... people are proud they don't wanna say the reality.. some of them didn't want the trouble. Some could've gotten away and would've been flat broke in a day. Prayers for us not judgement.
@@ashleyroundtree258 respect that
I live in Houma and me and my family stayed for hurricane Ida it was WILD
This breaks my heart. I worked in Houma and seeing it in this state is so upsetting. I’m saying a prayer for everyone.
Birds are having a good time they're not worried about about hurricane Ida
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Thank God most or all lives were spared
I hope those birds take cover…..
And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth like the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah shall blow the ram's horn, and shall go out with the windstorms of the south.
(Zechariah 9:14)
17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are on you, O dweller of the earth.
18 And it shall be, he who flees from the sound of dread shall fall into the pit. And he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For the windows from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake.
19 The earth is breaking, breaking! The earth is crashing, crashing! The earth is tottering, tottering!
20 Like a drunkard the earth is staggering, staggering! And it rocks to and fro like a tree-hut! And its sins heavy on it; and it shall fall and not rise again.
21 And it shall be in that day, Jehovah shall punish the host of the high place on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered, as prisoners are gathered in a dungeon. And they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be judged.
23 Then the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and gloriously before His elders.
(Isaiah 24:17-23)
And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines and plagues. And there shall be terrors and great signs from Heaven.
(Luke 21:11)
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. And on the earth will be anxiety of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men fainting from fear, and expecting those things which have come on the earth. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to happen, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.
(Luke 21:25-28)
Amazing footage from the eye of the storm.I feel for everyone who lost something.But great footage storm chaser
Louisiana is just too poor to afford concrete and steel structure homes and buildings, the money's just not there
Wow. Just wow…
Blessing guys 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for putting yourself at risk, to film the ferocity of nature. Glad you're ok 👍👌
Best Ida video to date. thanks!
Best ???
Thanks reporters, God bless you!
Wow, this is amazing footage, but I have a question about the creation process. How were you able to capture such great audio and video? I ask because it sounds like the microphone was in the elements, I can hear the rain splattering and the wind ripping, but theres no rain drops on the camera lens. Are you recording in a vehicle with a microphone mounted outside in the storm? That's my guess.
But either way, this is an amazing video and thank you for capturing it for us.
Is there any safe place in America? I mean where can we move to avoid the weather?
Utah
Rain stopped or still bad weather in louisana?
Wicked howling winds, damn, crazy, hope everyone is ok, horrific !
That is one very brave cameraman! Amazing!
Wow 😮😰😰
I went through a hurricane around 2008 by myself in a small frame home over on Byron St in Houma. The eye went through Houma then also but nowhere near as powerful as Ida. Houma has the best people there that I’ve ever met…. seriously. This is a horrible thing to watch from Georgia and a hope and pray my ex in-laws in Raceland and Houma made it through ok. These people are tough as they come.
Incredible footage! Amazing.
Whoa😳
Why do people build such flimsy stuff in these areas? Those crappy signs made from sheet metal should be outlawed in those areas. and rebuild with more rounded structures that the wind can't grab onto. Just saying I know poor folks are stuck but those that can like commercial properties and power plants etc. should build with these storms in mind.
One word, mate: Greed.
Honey there were iron storage containers the size of 18-wheeler trailers that blew across the highway
@@NexusPhotografiI've also seen conex boxes flying too
Imagine all the people who lost their homes and their jobs because of the hurricane. Buildings destroyed. Damn. I'm glad I live over here towards the West Coast. It's a nice, sunny, warm day here in Colorado.
That's the future of the human species and 90% of the rest. Loosing your home, your food source, your loved ones, your life.
Complete collapse of human civilization comes as early as 2040..2060. Extinction will need some centuries.
@@pcuimac No, but it'll be close.
the clanging stop-sign clip was surreal.
It was like a Spielberg movie.
Excellent shots!
why was that wind able to blow everything else away but those two birds?
Lower to the ground
@@reddirtoutdoorsandfishing7207
ok
No sé qué son esas campanadas del 8:30 y alrededores
and these storms are getting more and more strong and frequent, water is higher this is just going to keep happening
No they aren't this is the 8th strongest in recent history.
@@stewartread4235 8th and this is every year now not every 5 10 or more this was last year and the year before and so on this is just the start of what will happen in the future and we arent learning anything most dont care that this is going on due to global warming so the more they dont care the more this will happen. now it is going to keep on coming
@@chrisjct today is cooler than the dust bowl years of the 1930's, stop believing and spreading the lies, it's a bloody scam to tax the poor.
@@stewartread4235 the past 10 plus years records have been made and than broke the very next year the heat is all over the world fires in almost every country temps higher than in any other year, this is way worst than the dust bowl and that was only a 10 year thing and it did not keep on year after year for as long as this is going. the hover dam is at it lowest its been in its history, states have no water AZ NM CAL NV all are in a very bad water emergency. this is what we have no for over 20 years
Absolute rubbish, you should stop listening to msm. And you can't blame poor water and forestry management on climate.
People should be talking more about this footage right here. Wow. Congratulations to the cameraman/woman. Braver than most of us. Is the camera person the owner of this YT channel?? IF so please respond! :D
Thank you!
Did you place any cameras in advance? Or did you risk your life?
Brandon Ivey, if you were the man and woman that we tried to convince to come into the building, I'm so glad you made it through that shyt show!!!! Quite a few of us were wondering if you guys were ok out there!!
Cuántas hora a durado el aire fuertemente
Was some of this shot by the Southland mall in Houma? I grew up there but don’t remember the palm trees.
Yes
