Video for Cat.5 wind?

#1 Postby **arkestra** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 3:07 pm

Hi,

I wonder if there's any video available for winds of a cat.5 hurricane at that intensity. Cat.4 Charley is very well documented, but I cannot imagine how a cat.5 could be. Since there were only two cat.5 landfalls in the internet era, I believe such shootings are very rare.

Thank you for your help,

Mathieu

Try this website: http://www.vastormphoto.com/. It is run by a member here named Jessie Bass who goes by the screen name of Vacanechaser. If he doesn't have anything he can probably direct you to who does. Hope it helps.

Jessie probably has the footage from Charley on there, which was a Cat 4 at landfall...they recorded winds of 140 mph while in the Tahoe.

Perhaps try looking on youtube for video from Hurricane Andrew? I don't know what you'll find for that. Dean and Felix were both Cat 5's at landfall a couple years back...the only thing is, they hit in an area that doesn't have too many people running around with video cameras (like we do here).

I was you-tubing my butt off last night re-visiting Andrew footage showing my 16yr old step-daughter(that wants to experience a hurricane(like I foolishly wanted to do when Andrew came through))what kind of damage a cat-5 can do! But the aftermath just doesn't do it any justice! It would be interesting to see a cat-5 in daylight!!! :double:

One thing you will never see....a news reporter reporting live outside in the eyewall of a Cat 5..unless they are in something like the WTVJ Miami bunker with Bryan Norcross during Andrew.

you know Dan rather would have tied himself to a telephone pole like he did in Andrew and Opal. He also refused to leave Myrtle Beach when Floyd was expected to strike there directly as a 3. He was staying right on the coast

Andrew was a Cat 5 at landfall....well above the 156 mph threshold in re-analysis. There are areas (no video i have seen for obvious reasons) that had 200 mph gusts in south dade.
