Yes you are right. After further research I learned this came from Pensacola after Hurricane Ivan. Pensacola only recieved Cat. 1 conditions during Ivan, which certainly should not have been strong enough to do that kind of damage.Dionne wrote:Opal storm wrote:http://www.professionalroofing.net/photos/1205_webex_23.jpg
I don't see cat 3 damage in this pic.Notice how there's a street sign by the road still standing,the powerlines are still up and the telephone poles are perfectly up-right.Yes those roofs are severly torn up but we had roofs look like that here in Pensacola with Ivan and most of the area had sustained cat 1 winds.Also, by the look of it those buildings were probably very exposed to the wind.This is just my opinion though.Other than that it's a great scale and I will look back at this later in the season if a storm heads my way.
Something isn't right about this picture. To see that many shingles missing without any other significant damage makes it suspect. As a builder, I would want to hands on inspect the shingles and nailing pattern. I'd almost bet the nailing pattern is to high on the shingle.

Are you sure this is from Ivan?It says the picture was taken sept 21 2005,that's a year after Ivan hit.Extremeweatherguy wrote:Yes you are right.

I think their camera date was set wrong. I saw this same picture on a hurricane Ivan website a few weeks back.

Unreal.
BTW, I think I have an idea of where u can find Cat5 winds on footage. Do any of you remember any tornado shows on Discovery etc etc that showed that tornado crew getting caught under an underpass, and an f2 or f3 went over it? The winds were pretty strong, they were ripping the grass out.
Yea I remember that video..I seriously do not think that tornado was any more than possibly a strong F1. Had that have been a powerful tornado the ppl hiding under that bridge would have been blown to Kingdom Come.
A lady was sucked out from under the underpass, there was a death i believe.

Yes, I think I heard about that happening too. Also, their bodies were supposedly imprinted (leaving an outline) into the wall of the underpass by dirt.Normandy wrote:george_r_1961 wrote:Normandy wrote:How on earth can Andrew's winds flip a Uhaul truck and throw it on a roof??

There was another interesting video of a tornado, possible cat 5 winds, might have been on the same video as when the crew was underneath the overpass.
Someone was filming this monster tornado during the outbreak that occurred in April of 92, if I am not mistaken. At the time of the filming the tornado was tearing through McConnel AFB out in Kansas. You could see a car get tossed across a parking lot like it was a toy and the roaring sound of the tornado was unbelievable. The AFB received substantial damage if I recall.

yes that was the same tornado, but I think that when it passed over the overpass that it was not as strong as it was at the AFB. At the AFB I think it was a Cat. 4/5, so at the overpass it was probably a 2 or 3. I would think that those winds were likely in the low end Cat. 5 range as the tornado passed over.EDR1222 wrote:There was another interesting video of a tornado, possible cat 5 winds, might have been on the same video as when the crew was underneath the overpass.

Great thread, thanks for bumping it.
I'll try and contribute some of my own footage as the year wears on.

For Cat 5 winds, there was a video out on the internet once of Typhoon Pongsonga in Guam - there was clear video of winds that probably were sustained at or above Category 5 level (perhaps ~160mph) as far as I could tell.
I'd have to dig the video out somewhere unless anyone has a copy of it.

Considering the Pongsonga hit at around 115 kt I would think the winds in that video are Cat 3 at best

I don't have any pics from Sabine but I saw what moderate sustained cat 2 to strong cat 1 winds can do last Friday. That place is a mess. Blue tarps everywhere, trees though leafy still can see damage, buildings closed up with plywood on windows, new roofs, roofs missing shingles. All of this from two years ago and they got skirted by the western eye wall (what was left of it). There would probably be nothing left if Rita didn't weaken like she did as she neared the coast.

Hi...
Pongsona is estimated at 125kts (1-min) when it blasted Guam (Lander, Guard, Chiu) after an assesment based on reports, damage surveys and satellite estimates. Initially it was estimated to be 130kts but it was lowered to a similar intensity to that of Paka which hit the island on December 1997. There was a measurement of 100kts/115mph sustained with a gust to 130kts/150mph when the eyewall was just starting to move over the island and the winds further increased on the next few hours. Parts of northern and central Guam were exposed to sustained winds of 100kts or more for as much as 6 hours in some points, that is just simply amazing and those who have seen that kind of wind know what I'm talking about. So Pongsona was a cat-4 on Guam, no doubt about it, cat 5 winds probably in gusts as there was that 150mph gust prior to the instrument stop measuring, it was quite a storm...

I have added a video I found from Barry under the "tropical depression" video section.
Here is a link of that video if you do not want to go back to page 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqbf3bNBgqQ

It's been 10 years since the last post, lets bring this thread back to life
Centuries old Guiuan Church before Haiyan

Blown off PAGASA doppler radar radome in Guiuan, Samar - Typhoon Haiyan
More of Haiyan
Coconut tree punctured by a 4X2 wood (reportedly yacal wood) in Baganga, Davao Oriental after Typhoon Bopha
This coconut tree can still be considered lucky.
