- Buildings flying into the street, roofs flying past storm chasers, debris turned into deadly airborne missiles, Hurricane Michael showed no chill as it came ashore in the Florida Panhandle and destroyed Tyndall AFB, famous for hosting America's F-22 Raptors and UAV drones. (a few of which were left behind).

This footage is amazing, and terrifying.
Michael was just violent! Great footage. Praying for my fellow Floridians who are displaced and for those who lost loved ones in this devestating storm. 🙏
@@ahpuch2236 Prayers certainly do help, just try it. I've been a S Florida resident for 45 years & not all hurricanes are violent, but Michael was one of the worst & my church is sending much needed items. May you find hope and peace David; you hold one of the greatest names of one of the greatest Kings.
Hurricane Michael Myers????????
This is unfathomable. I grew up in northern Bay County, in the town of Southport. I moved away in 2007 but I know the place like the back of my hand. We had bad weather quite often but nothing like Hurricane Michael. What you see in this video could happen to anybody along the Gulf Coast. Count your blessings and never take anything for granted becuase Mother Nature can snatch it away from you so fast it will make your head spin.
Southport got nothing compared to Tyndall Airforce Base and Mexico Beach.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 They weren't there for the storm anyways, and that is a stupid statement to make.
Southport got solid category 4 conditions.
@@tvold9204 Wow I don’t even remember making that comment. Yes winds in Southport were probably low cat 4 conditions. No actually strong cat 3 conditions now that I think about it. Tyndall got high end cat 4 conditions.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 There's not much reason to believe southport didn't get cat 4 conditions.
I think they did.
@@tvold9204 Well they are a little northwest of Panama City so I’m going to say cat 3 sustained cat 4 gusts. Plus they are a little farther inland than Lynn Haven and Panama City.
I am from Callaway Fl about 15 miles from Mexico Beach this is about what it felt like. Scary I basically watched my entire roof come off and suck half of my belongings into the air. I grabbed my bag that had all my necessary stuff in it and hid in the closet. Thank God this storm was quick and passed through fast. To get a perspective Tyndall Airforce base is down the road from me.
Moonlava Reyes I’m glad you survived
And you stayed why?
Winds in Callaway were about 20 mph weaker.
Quick?
@@KevinLuWX Do you agree that Mexico Beach got the absolute strongest wind from this storm though and Tyndall second? Thats what Im thinking.
Strongest winds I have experienced were around 80 mph in an Arizona Microburst. I can't imagine what 155-160 is like, I hope that all who were affected are pulling through, and my condolences go out to the families of those who died.
80 mph is Category 1 equivalent strength.
Had a rough time lighting my cigareet that day.
This is absolutely insane. I'm glad we didn't much of it here in Pensacola. Good luck to all who had to go through this tragedy!
The debris past a red light call the police
@Jookie27 ARREST THEM
This comment is ritardé
And it was going way over the speed limit!
Great video, I just wish there was a way to share the feeling of power that the storm put in you. The pressure was making my ears pop and the sound you can feel through your body. It was incredible.
Awesome footage. Just amazing how powerful these storms are.
Wow! Glad that thing missed us in Tampa! 🙏
Incredible, superb footage.
155 mph winds is 2mph winds from a cat 5 so I consider it’s a cat 5
It got upgraded to a cat 5, I'm glad it did because I live in bay county and we deserved the title of cat 5 after going through this
Amazing footage
Sweet footage man
Just watched you on TWC Bart awesome footage and show. I've only been through one Hurricane that was Hugo. Here in NC we get "different" hurricanes than Florida. Not the high winds, but damaging and the water...Oak Island where I go several times a year, was hit 3 times in 3 years by hurricanes. That area is what I call hurricane alley. IMO its the most struck place in the country. The piers from Myrtle Beach to Wilmingon are only half what they were. Still one of the 2 on Oak Island hasn't been built back and the other one took 3 years to be built back from 2016. As of last week the damage to Oak Islands beaches was restored....3 years later. If you want a hurricane camp out between Little river SC and Wilmington NC in September.
The scary thing its that the stronger winds were in the SE quadrant and it missed Tyndall base to the east. Hard to imagined even stronger winds. 🙈
I watched this footage last night, the rest of it I mean, and you guys got yourself in some real nice trouble. Lol. Glad everyone made it out alive.
I am not a professional stormchaser. I stayed in Tallahasee thinking the storm might go a little east. Then I wanted to go to this area to ride it out in my car but I left too late. I think there will be another hurricane like this within the next decade so I will get another chance.
the hurricane is yeeting stuff 😆 🤣 😂 😹 LOL ITS SLIDING LIKE "weeeee! uh oh... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HURRICANE MICHAEL JACKSON!" hurricane: YOU RAAAACK UP BOI! me like nooope! AND stops ThE ToRnADo! Lol soooo I love you
Bart your footage is fantastic, I’m from Florida originally and experienced the eastern eyewall of Hurricane Ivan and it was at night so we couldn’t see what was happening. Also no one ever gets coverage like this, what it’s really like- this storm makes Ivan look like a joke and Ivan changed everything for me and everyone else in my hometown. I’m obsessed with weather and really wish I would have made a career out of it, thank you again for these videos!! I’ve subscribed and watched your other uploads and you have amazing work!!
Thank you!
@@TheTornadoChaser The Mesovortice passed at the end of eyewall?
@@ivanviera4773 the strongest ones were right on the inner edge of the eyewall.
@@TheTornadoChaser That video was all in the first half of the storm?
@@ivanviera4773 the roof flying off over my head was in the second half.
That piece of metal at 1:34 just ran a red light. Lol, just kidding.
I was in St. Andrews riding out the storm!
I really wish they were able to record more wind speed measurements, I know Tyndall AFB had the highest gust recorded at 139 mph but would be really interesting if they were able to somehow get more measurements but its hard since alot prob fail once power is lost and others fail when reaching its threshold or the intrument is knocked down or off its post.
It amazes me how houses and other things are ripping apart and flying around but there car ain't buggin
I just have a question... On such strong winds at the beginning of the video the traffic lights were off yet at the end if the video lights are working perfectly well and wind looks like it's the same. How was that possible???
This cut is not in chronological order. The lights were nearly destroyed and out of power by the time the eye was on us.
Having lost our home to Irma, I feel going out in a vehicle is irresponsible...I hope you don't 'inspire' other, less experienced young people to try to do this. Amazing footage but not worth becoming a statistic
People make their own choices. Nobody makes anybody do anything they don't want to do unless they have a gun to their head and clearly, that isn't the case. Sorry you lost your home, but irresponsible is not the word. People can be perfectly safe and storm chase. I mean they ain't out in the middle of it outside of their car with flying debris flying at them. They are shielded to an extent, and you don't know what is behind them or around them. So who are you to say they are being irresponsible , unless you can see the whole picture in relation to the way the wind is blowing . we chasers know the risks, and we know how storms work. You want to see irresponsible, go look at the video of the guy who sat there with the storm surge coming up to him and completely overtake his car, forcing him to run for shelter in the eyewall on foot with storm surge all around him. Now that is irresponsible.
@@donnielee8556 Dang
@@donnielee8556 Next time I will do this myself.
Imagine doing what you did during Super Typhoon Yutu!
I just don't understand why chasers just drive a regular car in catastrophic weather, wouldn't you feel safer to drive an SUV or pickup truck with guards to protect window especially the rear like a back rack of some sort. Idk just what I would do if I was chasing a storm.
Yazen Kaissi idk maybe cause if it flips it just causes more destruction and more danger?
An SUV would most likely have rolled over in this storm and even with guards up over the windows I do not think they would have stayed intact.
@@TheTornadoChaser ...my new hero ! Better than biker lines of Peruvian marching powder. I live south of Tampa...they are forecasting wet & wild for Florida in the coming winter. I think hurricanes follow me...I lived in Columbia SC in 89 for Hugo, Gulf Shores AL in 95 for Opal , Tupelo MS in 05 for Katrina...last 20 years in Florida for a bunch...Irma last year destroyed 85 homes in my subdivision...Got to Love It !
It's stupid, in lynn haven a huge bus was thrown 45 feet to the other side of the highway. Another truck was thrown across highway 77 into a parking lot. These people risk their lives, I'm glad I just survived
I wouldn't even attempt to drive into a hurricane if I wasn't in a pickup truck.
How is the power still on to the stop lights?
I believe this area has mostly underground utilities. its also on an airforce base, so i guess its possible there could be some kind of backup system connected to these lights. its certainly very impressive that they were able to continue functioning through all that :o
It actually lost power in the middle of the eyewall. This video is not peiced together chronologically.
Good observation. I'm wondering if they were parked up underneath some kind of Bridge to get that kind of footage to begin with. I hope they remain safe. It was quite frightening just watching the devastation.
@@TheTornadoChaser I want all this unfold on TV as I am in Missouri. Nice to know that you're okay. it was so devastating I know. It was Brave for you to catch the footage that you did.
You know what you saw
MY GOD!
I live in south georgia where we caught the outside IT WAS JUST THAT BAD
Almost like drone racing.... all that debris racing down the street
David Sul put alot of heart into trying to downgrade the video. Probably jealous he never recorded any footage from the hurricanes he's been through and made a TH-cam channel out of it.
I am a bit suspect of him actually having been in the said storms with nothing to show for it. Seems fishy.
@@TheTornadoChaser I always wanted to be a storm chaser. The closest ever I got was being outside during Frances and Jeanne with a corona in my hand lol, so I appreciate footage like this. I shared it everywhere it's awesome.
I'm pretty sure that guy has no idea what he's talking about. he also claimed to have been in the "eye" of several tornadoes and continuously tried to apply the fujita scale to the hurricane XD. my guess is someone from the midwest maybe who experienced one tornado and did a bunch of "research" and now thinks he can advise professionals. my experience is that usually when someone claims that they "dont need a piece of paper from a university", that actually just means that they are a good case study for the "dunning-kruger effect"
He's a bullshitter. It's plain as day. He's been storm chasing since the 80s, been to every major tornado and hurricane in the u.s., right on up in the eyewalls yet no cameras to record the events..... Bullshitter.
I live in south florida. 30 minutes from Homestead and my area got damage but nothing like homestead got from Andrew, it was like two different events. Every hurricane I've been through was like this. Some worse than others and I've been living here since the 80s. I don't record or chase. I sit inside my house with it all locked down and ride it out. And hurricanes in my opinion are scary as hell and leave you in a sort of PTSD state for weeks afterwards even if you didn't get the eye.
I can appreciate what you are doing to bring the images of what happened, to people that were distant from it but this video, to me, doesn't begin to do it justice, for what it's really like to be going through it. I suppose people that have been through tornadoes feel the same way when they see videos of it.
There's a feeling involved, of being powerless for the duration of the storm, that your life is no longer in your own hands and it's up to fate.
And you don't touch on the weeks and weeks of no power or A/C eating canned foods, and cutting up trees and repairing and trying to find gas to get to work, if work is even still there for you to go to, and the real hardship that comes after the storm passes. The money spent...
Again I do appreciate what you are doing, just saying it's not really representative of what it's really like to go through one. It's more representative of being a tourist of one. Stay safe and God Bless.
Loooks like the street light is goikg to fall over
Wow
Mother's get like that when you mess with they're children.
This storm scared the crap out of me. How long till the eye ?. That is what I said
Dude, you are insane.
I would like to experience that in person. Sorry to all the people who died and are suffering because of this....but it would be fascinating to see.
Its not, dont even take the risk man, the mental struggle it is after something like that is horrible.
That was a rush!
Tornado mix with flash flood hurricane
Is Bart...Chimera now? 😂
Yes.
Some people do change their names. I know quite a few people that did.
Bart (Chimera) is a transgender now.
The Weather Channel should have paid you 50k for that; a pittance relative to their ad revenue.
Its hard to get kore than a couple hubdred for footage anymore since so many give it away free.

I have a stupid question 🙋 here who is superpower?????
🌬💨she was clearly angry..
Do you have a specialized vehicle to be doing this? Jw
We did not for this storm.
@@TheTornadoChaser This was also in Panama City?
@@ivanviera4773 just east of town at the airforce base.
@@TheTornadoChaser Wow that wind in the first seconds its unreal, was that a mesovortices or the eyewall?
@@ivanviera4773 just the eyewall!
Why are you driving in this storm?? Your lucky to be alive
There storm chasers, it's there job stupid
@@danielsmith8111 you say that but you didnt go through the storm, I was in the eye wall and a huge bus was thrown across the highway and smashed, another truck was flung across 77 into a parking lot. These people play with death. I'm glad to just have survived.
It’s so loud and terrible and it’s such a hot mess. Stuff starts lifting stuff over OMG🤯🤯
1:09 that would hurt, you would survive the hit in 5 seconds
Look like a seen of never ending story
The NOTHING !
Young Elisabeth Shue........nuff said.
...did u say this was the inside of a blender?...ok..tht so
Totally! \,,/
Are you in Mexico City here?
Mexico Beach*
No, I was at Tyndall AFB.
why do you risk your lives
I mean look at the flying stufff
Big azz Tornado...
Only idiots will be out their filming...
That looks fun. I hope to experience a powerful hurricane soon.
Why? We still havent recovered here. People DIED. I dont even know if some of my friends are still ALIVE. it wasnt "fun" to be without power for WEEKS with people trying to loot our house with GUNS AND SHOOT US.
@@cbhvideo Well I'm sorry for your hardships. I'm talking about experiencing the storm. Not the effects it has on it's victims. I try to do my part through donations to the red cross and salvation army in that regard. I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure I donated specifically to the victims of this storm. Regardless of all that, I still like experiencing the intensity of storms.
@@fredsilvers1427 okay sorry for lashing out I just thought that you were calling the whole experience fun.
@@cbhvideo It's okay. I truly am sorry for the suffering and loss you and your city has had to endure. We all need to help each other in times of tragedy. I've lost friends to tornadoes here in Oklahoma. Particularly the May 3rd 1999 Moore tornado. All I could do was watch as I followed it through the city. I was in awe of it's power and at the same time I knew people were dying as I watched helplessly.
@Brandon Smith:
I personally wouldn't say 'fun' (maybe something like 'fascinating' and/or 'intense' ) .. but I too would love to go experience a major hurricane....but ideally in an area away from a city.
And all the while the street lights stayed on....now that is some (BS) stuff right there folks! DEW's for sure!
They did go out in the storm. This cut is not in chronological order.
Ah conspirica theorist logic. Lights not going out in a superstorm on one clip, then off in the next? Ooh! H
Government is using magic tech that doesnt exist to summon storms!!
Keep taunting mother nature some day your finished taking to many risk just stupid I have run weather company in europe i never would allowed this or do it by my self I love my life !!!
The wind in your video is only gusting to about 110 mph at most. You can see that from the speed of the blowing rain and lighter-weight pieces of airborne debris such as paper trash, roofing tar paper etc..And Tyndall AFB wasn't destroyed. In fact the Air Force said that damage was less than they had expected. You can see in the aerial photos that the hangars only had paneling peeled off of roofs And Apparently none of the remaining aircraft were destroyed. Some were damaged by debris and one fighter jet was flipped over on it's back. that's all.The only buildings destroyed in the area were mobile homes and cheap lightweight sheds and outbuildings. Only EF1 damage typical of weak tornadoes.
I completely beg to differ. The anemometers at and near the base had winds still climbing and measured winds up to 120 and 130 mph. They failed before the strongest part of the eyewall hit. In addition to that all the release from the USAF said he buildings at the base were nolonger habitable. Where we were the damage was not just EF1. Concrete structures and steel framed buildings at the base completely failed. You also had near complete deforestation and just west of the base in town there were framed homes that also failed without the strongest part of the eyewall moving over them. My video is just a small clip of some of the larger debris we got on camera and not representive of the full force of the storm. I am working on a longer cut of our footage that will be almost 40min long and will have better examples of the peak winds. I'm curious, were you in the storm and did you tour the damage yourself? If so you would not have mafe your assesment of the damage being comparable EF1. I respectfully disagree with your comment.
If you got video of stronger winds, please upload it. No I wasn't there so I couldn't tour the damage. But I've seen everbody's damage footage and stills. I'm commenting about the winds in the video that you posted. I'm also commenting about everbody elses wind footage too. I'm also commentingaboutn all the damage footage including aerial footage posted by everbody else too. And the only destruction of houses and other substantial buildings were where those structures were inundated by storm surge and pounded by battering waves. Yes, I am aware that wind gusts were measured to 130 mph at a University Of Florida site near Tyndall AFB. And that istrument platform simply blew over then according to the NWS. Also gusts to 129 mph were measured at the Panama City airport. That one apparently didn't fail it seems. They weren't very far apart. That is cosistent with the damage seen in the area, which is EF1 with pockets of marginal EF2 scattetred around. Your video shows EF1 wind gusts. Look at the speed of the blowing rain and lightweight types of debris to see it youself. Marginal EF2 wind gusts will blow down a few poorly supported concrete block walls and will level mobile homes There aren't any sustantial buildings with structural damage in the video you have uploaded so far. Just weak outbuilding types and sheds. Same with everybody else's videos so far. If you got it please do upload it! I want to see it! All the damage I can see to buildings on Tyndall AFB is just paneling peeled off of their hangars-EF1 damage. It looks like one weak outbuilding in your video can be rated as EF2, wood frame or thin steel frame and sheet metal Also a few vans overturned and rolled, also EF1 or marginal EF2. And the deforestation was all to a weak thin type of pine tree along highway 98 in the path of the strongest wind. It looks like most of those pines snapped before they could be defoliated as seen in the views in videos. They were not yet defoliated. Those that remained standing were partially defoliated of the little that they had before. Many were snapped halfway up or near the top. None were conpletely defoliated Those trees were hit by the strongest winds that Michael produced anywhere on land. Other types of trees weren't defoliated or snapped near as much in the general area as you can see in your video Sturdy well-rooted trees will stand through defoliating wind speeds and even for all their limbs to be ripped away. Plenty of examples in tornado damage.The tree damage from the strongest winds is consistent with 130 to 135 mph wind gusts. EF2 wind speeds. Those winds aren't evident at your location in your video. IF tthose winds were the PEAK GUSTS, then the maximun sustained surface winds would be no more than about 110 mph which will make Michael a high-end category 2 or marginal category 3 at at landfall. BTW, Katrina with 920 millibar central pressure was a category 3 at landfall in August 2005
I am curious what your qualifications are. You speak as if you're a meteorologist or a structural engineer. Panama City's regional airport was NOT in the eye wall so if it registered a gust of 129 mph that is incredibly impressive to have gusts that strong out of the eyewall. I also see you are basing your opinion on the posted videos online from those who chased it. 90% of chasers stayed on the west side of Panama City and PCB. They were only in winds that were equal to cat 1 and 2 winds and largely out of the eye wall. The base was never inundated by surge. I have yet to upload my damage video from the base. There are well built concrete and steel buildings that totally failed. This weekend I will have my longer cut up which will have that damage in it as well as all of the eye wall footage.
! am just a hobbyist storm chaser. I don't have or need a piece of paper from a university. I have studied the topics all my life. on my own as a hobby. I thoroughly know the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly just the Fujita scale) (and I personally don't agree with the exact velocities assigned to each number at least from EF0 thru EF3, I think they are just a little low). I know the assigned related wind velocities. I also know from personal experience in the field putting mself inside of tornadoes and hurricane eyewalls. I eagerly await your not-yet uploaded footage. And I never said the base was inundated by storm surge. After all it is at an elevation of 30+ feet above sea level. The inundation and destroyed buildings were in Mexico Beach and a few pockets near Panama City. And I am not talking about footage from PCB or western Panama City. I am talking about footage from highway 98 south of Tyndall AFB from Tyndall AFB to Mexico Beach.including directly in the path of the eye. This general area had the strongest wind of Michael's landfall. EF1 to EF2 wind. And EF1 damage at Tyndall is all that is apparent from all the aerial footage published by news media as well. And at least the eastern portion of Tyhdall AFB had the strongest eyewall winds. pockets of marginal EF2 wind damage.
@@davidsul7052 what hurricanes were you in the eyewall of and which tornadoes were you "inside of." Your profile on here lacks any video and Ive never heard of you before. If you have such an advanced knowledge of the EF-scale then you would know why it is not applied to the damage a hurricane generates. Tornadoes have a much lower effective windspeed than other forms of damaging winds due to three reasons. The first is that the rappid change of the wind direction of a tornado puts stress more stress on a structure than straightline winda would. Tornadoes also have strong verticle motion in their winds which are unique to them and further enhances their ability to damage a building. Lastly the sudden, rappid increase of winds in a tornado imparts much more stress on a structure compared to the much slower build up in a hurricane. Comparing tornadic winds directly to non-tornadic winds is apples to oranges and anyone with even a basic grasp of meteorology understands this. The EF scale is directly tailored to asses tornadic winds and that alone. Even the ARA assesment of the base has their conservitive estimates of the winds at Tyndall at 120 which was below the observed speed measured by the awips site in the base. Also highway 98 does not pass south of the base. It passes through the middle. Who's damage video have you watched? The damage footage on my Twitter account that I shot in the ground inside the base shows steel framed and concrete buildings seriously damaged or destroyed.
