For those in Leewards/Virgins: Comparison to Luis/Marilyn

[tolakram]

I have some YouTube links to a couple of videos that claim to be Irma footage from Anguilla, there's nothing to confirm them as 100% legit, but based off the video evidence I have no reason to disbelieve them.

I'll post them, I just want up make sure it's ok. I know there's rules about hotlinking images, so I just want to make sure that it's ok to post a YouTube link.

It is, and you can embed them as well. YouTube is a video service meant to serve up videos, we don't allow hotlinking non image/video sites.

Alright, sorry for the delay, here are the videos I was talking about.

(This one is one of the best IMO from Anguilla. There are some very intense wind gusts during the video, and I really don't have a personal estimate because I'm not good at making those kind of guesses, but it definitely seems to be more intense than any supercell thunderstorm or derecho I've gone through living in the midwest.)

(This one is short but definitely demonstrates some intense winds. The guys in this video got really lucky that they weren't injured.)

(Another short one but a fairly decent view of the winds all things considered.)
