Thank you James! I need to do some catching up on your recent chases as well. Always incredible shots my friend. All the best, safe travels, and I hope to see you in the eyewall on this side of the world soon!
Thanks Steve! It was great to get out there on the road again after all the craziness of the last few months. And it all went down literally on my 50th birthday lol.
Thanks Jose! Yes we were quite surprised to see that the backside was even more violent than the right side eyewall. This is the first time I have ever experienced that.
And this whole thing went down literally on my 50th birthday! I think I will definitely hold the candle for wildest 50th on record perhaps. It was definitely good to get out there on the road again after all the crap I've dealt with the last few months. Sawyour footage as well Max, incredible stuff! Glad you guys are okay too.
I'm so happy to see you healthy and back out on the road again, you were one of my inspirations growing up and it's so great to see you back out there doing your thing!
Thank you SO much Max for the kind words! Yes, it was so awesome to be back out there chasing with Dave. There was a time only a few months ago when I wasn't sure what my future held. To be full recovered now and to have the issue with my heart (the issue that caused my stroke to begin with) completely fixed feels amazing. Hope to see you out there in the Spring! Safe travels!
It bent over 3 of the Tennis coart poles which are about 3.5 feet tall , This storm shocked me on so many levels what it did, the damage it did, the duration, the relentless never ending rain. Like an 8-10 hour battering.
Thanks Michael! This definitely was the most intense hurricane both Dave and I ever documented! Cecelia and I will be seeing you in a month when I drive back down to Florida AGAIN for our proper vacation LOL!! I'll touch base when we're closer so we can firm up our lunch get together!
I can’t wait to see you both and swap stories… I was right across the bridge in Port Charlotte! And yeah, the back-half of this thing was on par with, if not stronger than, the most intense hurricanes I’ve previously experienced. 😮
OH wow you were like 3 miles from us haha! Yes, that back half was way more intense than the right side for sure. We were driving around in the eye for a bit and then headed back to the parking garage to prepare for the backside, but did not anticipate it being more intense. I'll touch base with you as we get closer to our trip on Nov 1st and then we'll set up the lunch with you and Lori! Can't wait!
I don't know how much Punta Gorda's council spent on their pretty street lamps but it had to have been worth it because they didn't even budge! Excellent footage. I live in the Cape. Hard to believe that this was 2 o'clock in the afternoon in sunny Florida!
Nothing like going through the backside. But thanks for staying safe guys!!! Makes watching a lot less stressful knowing you are safe and protected during the eyewall phase. My condolences to those who lost everything and shame on the insurance companies.
The backside of this storm was definitely intense. And we do our best to try to keep ourselves as safe as possible as well. Logistically it's not always that easy but we try to find the best shelters that we can during these intercepts. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching. All the best to you
Outside of the Hurricane Andrew like destruction on our barrier islands, I really gotta say Florida's building codes really helped us. We have a lot of damage to our infrastructure in places like Cape Coral, but the homes mostly remained standing and liveable once you put a tarp on.
Totally agree Aaron! In Punta Gorda, we were all really impressed at how well many of the structures held up even in the face of intense winds. My friend Tim has a house in the lower Keys and his roof is made of metal, and rated for 175mph winds. I saw many of the same style roofs there. Definitely solid building codes there!
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC Yeah, especially when you look at the destruction caused by Charley in Punta Gorda and look how the both hit there at the same strength.
True. I remember the day after the hurricane it was absolutely beautiful outside. Hardly any heat and a nice cool breeze. It was almost like a spring day after the hurricane thank God, because we had no electricity.
Naples got it bad too the people that live near the beach up to bayshore drive and parts of airport rd.got flooding.i live 8 minutes from.the beach my apartment flooded completely halfway.and i had to swim.in the surge.was scary and i thank god,today that im alive.hurricane ian survivor here!!!
WOW Mari really happy to hear that you made it through Ian. Sounds like you definitely had a pretty scary experience. Happy that you made it out, but it sounds like your apartment sustained major damage unfortunately.
Right smack on your very own 50th birthday, Scott....and exactly as what you got here on 9/28/22.....and mannn oh mannnnnn how amazing of what you got all here right on your 50th....((and Scott...remember my own test of timed-bargabbing of my own remembering the 50th birthday of this Barbara Goodstein and her own 50th birthday, being the very date of your own 9/16/10-macroburst Tstorm videoings, heeheee))) also..impressive shots of the satellite image and the lightning with it when IAN was heading your way down there...Awesome on the aftermath images too...after the nonstop WHITEOUTS...during the brunt of IAN...~~~!!!
Yep James, we both definitely had memorable 50th birthdays for sure! Thanks for watching. It was a pretty crazy experience, and to have it all happen on my 50th was just mind-boggling.
Hi Mark! I don't believe so, all that flooding there as far as I could tell was freshwater flooding. But we certainly saw flooding south of us. Where we were in Punta Gorda we almost had reverse surge due to the wind direction being offshore.
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC Interesting. Thanks. I do believe some minor surge occurred on one street near the end of the storm as I was watching Texas Storm Chasers video and they showed surge coming near the canal bridge. But it wasn’t like Fort Myers that’s for sure. You know I am not a chaser but I did drive down and parked at a gas station near 75 and rode out the hurricane there. I did not actually drive in the storm. Was I being too cautious? It was my first ever chase.
Went through ians storm surge in north ft. Myers. Lost everything.. we are still looking for a pla e to live. Two yrs later. Many people are still displaced and looking for places to move to. Some waiting fo ins. To fix there homes. High tent shortage of housing people are forced to move to other states. Like us. Lived here for over 40 yrs.. ian changed lots of things.
Thank you Christine. Yes, the recovery will take a long time, many were still recovering from Irma just 5 years before. They'll get there though. All the best to you!
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC I realize because i go there often, i live in The Cape. But having a terminal disease and not having to luxury of time to see it all come back i was happy something was saved- there was someplace to go that didnt make me sad.
This is real, even a month later, all know this is reality, thank you New York, and PA, for all of your help, for we where left alone as a mere mist. Cold freezing , hmm. counter clockwise is real. Stay safe everyone.
From what I had read, from east to west it stretched almost 500 miles. Quite large, and certainly much larger than Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It was also moving much slower than Andrew as well when it made landfall.
The 2024 hurricane season is still at least a month away, but it's supposed to be extremely active, with multiple hits on the USA. We shall see. One or two massive storms hitting Florida will be an economic catastrophe, particularly for the insurance industry.
Early forecasts definitely point to a very active season ahead, whether or not any of those storms make their way to the US remains to be seen, but the more storms that roam the atlantic, obviously the higher chance one of them will make landfall. Should be interesting months ahead.
I’m a bit apprehensive after going through Ian in Englewood close to the coast. If it’s coming from the south we’d flood though not in flood zone. I’d leave if that happens. No joke
@@ScottMcPartlandNYCI think that noise would’ve annoyed me so bad I wouldn’t have been scared anymore ! maybe !!! But what a smart place to have your car. A parking garage that’s free- out of the surge - and a huge concrete building that can handle the wind !!! If I have to that’s where I’m going for this 2024 season !! Wish us all luck !! And still praying for Fort Myers and Naples area !!!! ❤️😞🙏💯
Incredible shots Scott, wow! That backside of the eyewall was intense. Amazing work as always mate.
Thank you James! I need to do some catching up on your recent chases as well. Always incredible shots my friend. All the best, safe travels, and I hope to see you in the eyewall on this side of the world soon!
This video was killer, man! I'm so glad you and Dave were able to make it down!
Thanks Steve! It was great to get out there on the road again after all the craziness of the last few months. And it all went down literally on my 50th birthday lol.
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC Heck yeah, man! I forget when your birthday is, but happy birthday! I hope we'll get to meet up next year at some point!
My 50th birthday was literally on the day Ian made landfall lol. Sept 28th. And yes, definitely have to meet up next Spring!
Belated Happy Birthday! What a fantastic 50th for a Storm Chaser!
Definitely a 50th birthday to remember that's for sure!
Awesome job, Scott! Really showing what that backside was like in Punta Gorda,,, totally Cat-4 material there!
Thanks Jose! Yes we were quite surprised to see that the backside was even more violent than the right side eyewall. This is the first time I have ever experienced that.
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC Hurricane Wilma of '05 was like that - winds were extremely strong on the back side compared to the front.
Glad you guys made it down, that back eyewall was gnarly!
And this whole thing went down literally on my 50th birthday! I think I will definitely hold the candle for wildest 50th on record perhaps. It was definitely good to get out there on the road again after all the crap I've dealt with the last few months. Sawyour footage as well Max, incredible stuff! Glad you guys are okay too.

@@ScottMcPartlandNYC If there was anyone having their 50th bday on 9/5/1935, and in the FL Keys, you're still beat.
Very true, but what I was referring to was the 'wildest 50th birthday for a storm chaser' on record. However I did not clarify that lol.
It bent over 3 of the Tennis coart poles which are about 3.5 feet tall , This storm shocked me on so many levels what it did, the damage it did, the duration, the relentless never ending rain. Like an 8-10 hour battering.
It really was an incredible storm on so many levels, definitely one that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE Scott!!!

So glad Fisherman’s village survived. I was there the Saturday before the storm. We love it there
I don't know how much Punta Gorda's council spent on their pretty street lamps but it had to have been worth it because they didn't even budge! Excellent footage. I live in the Cape. Hard to believe that this was 2 o'clock in the afternoon in sunny Florida!
Agree! Those street lamps barely moved. A few went down, but not many at all.
9:20 looks like the stop sign is taking it personally
Nothing like going through the backside. But thanks for staying safe guys!!! Makes watching a lot less stressful knowing you are safe and protected during the eyewall phase. My condolences to those who lost everything and shame on the insurance companies.

Great footage Scott! Hope to finally run into you one of these days haha
I hope so too Joey! Thanks for watching and safe travels to you.
When it stalled I knew what was coming next

@@ScottMcPartlandNYC Yeah, especially when you look at the destruction caused by Charley in Punta Gorda and look how the both hit there at the same strength.
We noticed a pretty significant temperature drop to with the same reaction. That really stood out against other canes I’ve been in
Same here!
True. I remember the day after the hurricane it was absolutely beautiful outside. Hardly any heat and a nice cool breeze. It was almost like a spring day after the hurricane thank God, because we had no electricity.
Bigger and stronger hurricanes in the future.
I noticed the thing with this hurricane as the front half of the eye wall was on land the back half was still strengthening over the gulf
The back half of the storm was definitely more intense at our location for sure.
@ScottMcPartlandNYC same here in port charlotte
The wind is bending that metal pole, but the trees stay upright…amazing
Palm trees do that
Such an insane hurricane!!😵💫😵💫
It really was Pam. The recovery will definitely take time.
Naples got it bad too the people that live near the beach up to bayshore drive and parts of airport rd.got flooding.i live 8 minutes from.the beach my apartment flooded completely halfway.and i had to swim.in the surge.was scary and i thank god,today that im alive.hurricane ian survivor here!!!

Scott that flooding in Punta Gorda was that surge from the bay?

Awesome Footage💯. Prayers for the victims and thier loss💦. 💙🙏💙💦😪
Thank you Christine. Yes, the recovery will take a long time, many were still recovering from Irma just 5 years before. They'll get there though. All the best to you!
Glad Punta Gorda didn’t get it as bad as The Cape and Fort Meyers. Hope everyone is okay in Punta Gorda..love it there
Overall Punta Gorda seemed to fair pretty well. But there were still pockets of very heavy damage.
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC I realize because i go there often, i live in The Cape. But having a terminal disease and not having to luxury of time to see it all come back i was happy something was saved- there was someplace to go that didnt make me sad.
Linda I am so sorry to hear this. I do hope your health situation changes, some how or some way. Wishing you good vibes!
@@lhyork1608 The cape andPunta Gorda got the same wind speed but the cape got the surge which made all the difference.
20” of rain in one day😳In Englewood
I really don't think that was their biggest problem
This is real, even a month later, all know this is reality, thank you New York, and PA, for all of your help, for we where left alone as a mere mist. Cold freezing , hmm. counter clockwise is real. Stay safe everyone.
Definitely a long way to go before the recovery is completed. Many communities are helping each other out which is always great to hear about.
those winds felt very strong
what were those people doing on the beach at the end?
Storm was pretty much over at that point and many residents and tourists went onto the beach to collect sea shells that washed ashore.
@@ScottMcPartlandNYC ah ok, wasn't sure because there were so many and it wasn't sunny outside it just made me a bit curious why there were so many.
That satellite image at the beginning is haunting…
VERY reminiscent of Hurricane Charley back in 2004! Haunting indeed Ness!
Yet truth.
155mph winds
How large in diameter was Hurricane Ian?
From what I had read, from east to west it stretched almost 500 miles. Quite large, and certainly much larger than Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It was also moving much slower than Andrew as well when it made landfall.

What’s with the one two three running throughout this?
What???
Huh?
Poor boat yard
what the hell is that buzzing noise ??
The power was cut to the parking garage so that was the fire alarm that was going off.
What is that noise !
When the power went out in the parking garage, the alarms (which are battery powered) went off. They were insanely loud!
@@ScottMcPartlandNYCI think that noise would’ve annoyed me so bad I wouldn’t have been scared anymore ! maybe !!! But what a smart place to have your car. A parking garage that’s free- out of the surge - and a huge concrete building that can handle the wind !!! If I have to that’s where I’m going for this 2024 season !! Wish us all luck !! And still praying for Fort Myers and Naples area !!!! ❤️😞🙏💯
