A Informative Video for people around the Tampa area for a hurricane, and the test hurricane is in you guessed it...October! Features local mets and Dr. Lyons who used to be on TWC. The placement of this fake storm is near 95L so i thought it would be a good time to post it. Made by the Tampa Council, Very informative and made custom to our area with Facts and Figures at the end.

EDIT: Thank you srainhoutx and Cycloneye for helping me put up the video!

I live in Tampa, and all I can say is WOW!

I live in Tampa, and all I can say is WOW!

Thats what I said when i first saw it. A cat. 5 would be far more devastating to us then I first thought.

[tampastorm]

It would seriously be the end of Tampa as we know it. And who knows how long it would take to rebuild.

Amazing video. Everyone in a high risk area needs to see this!

You may want to Sticky this....

Your right, the video is Informative for any risky area. I dont know if a mod will sticky though.

Now the threat appears to be Nicole to be "Phoenix" not Matt

i saw this and it creeped me out! We just moved here in March (military) and we have been trying to figure out evacuation plans just in case and everytime we do I get the willies...

nice video, yeah everyone should see this not just people that know bout hurricanes but people that don't aswell.

What's REALLY scary is that the "Hernando Beach" total-obliteration shot at 5:40 was a real scene from the Bolivar Penninula in Texas caused by big-eye category 2 Hurricane Ike in 2008, in which the wave-train pile-up surge preceding the storm was compounded by an oceanic bulge under the large eye inducing, upon arriving in shallows, a secondary tsunami-like compression wave at the height of the storm. The elevated ocean surged laterally over the island at possibly as much as 30mph or more for several minutes, causing tremendous scour. Devastation was apocalyptic:

Well I was waiting for someone to say the images were from their area. Im sorry for what happened. But if we share the video and awareness, maybe we can prevent this from happening in other areas

Notice the guy clutching his heart at 9:13. The stress associated with hurricanes or other severe weather events has been known to cause heart attacks.

I'm trying to figure out how one house (blue roof) remained standing right smack in the middle of that picture. Everything else was wiped out.

[Shuriken]

The tremendous erosive scour of Ike's tsunami-like lateral surge is plainly evident in the following video:

The ocean roared over the Bolivar P. like the Colorado River shooting a bed of rapids, and wrenched out everything. In some places a hundred feet of beach was eroded, and deep trenches gouged out between houses. The worst-hit areas look like Banda Aceh.

[ftolmsteen]

I see that 3rd video shows a closeup of that house. Well built.

[Shuriken]

Here's a close-up from the larger picture I posted above, you can clearly see the erosive force of the lateral surge -- that water was MOVING.

Tampa still is a possible target for this time of year...take the 1921 Hurricane for example:

Today the 25th, the 1921 storm made landfall...

From the NWS Tampa on the 89th anniversary today of the 1921 hurricane - the last time the Tampa Bay area had a direct hit.
