Now this video is the real deal. Feature length film, with some crazy winds. Past a certain point wind kinda looks the same but that screeching noise is a little worse than any other storm despite the diminishing returns. The "eye" section was a lot windier than I expected, though absolutely nothing like the proper eyewall sections. Pretty bad wind damage too, good thing he knocked on the hotel wall to demonstrate that it was sturdy.
