WTF? this guy is so british

[CrazyColoradan]

Haha, he sounds like the canadians from southpark! Thumbs up if you agree!

[emrgrn]

ACTUALLY did more research he said only 2 lives lost and in 1949 storm that hit ft lauderdale directly and got palm beach and miami too, was the kicker, as the 1949 storm was the only south florida storm in the 40's to only loose 2 lives- so its probably not king in 1950 or the 1947- as dozens were killed then

[emrgrn]

THIS IS EITHER HURRICANE KING IN OCTOBER 1950 as it hit from miami to palm beach and up the coast as a cat 3 storm,,,,,or of the Sept 1945 Storm as most pics of both are centered around miami and one part of video has cat 2+ winds, and the 1945 storm ripped apart hangars at homestead bases just south of miami, it still could be also 1947 but the '47 storm was very intense so??

Gravel roofs were popular in those days, but during hurricane Cleo (1964) our car's paintwork was pitted with gravel marks from gravel blown off the roof!

[dsdasw]

Why were there people walking and driving in that storm? It looks dangerous!

[dave98503]

[real0988]

Those images are of the action of a greater hurricane, not of one of category 1..

Impressive video!!

[NeoCotex34]

This is probably the oldest hurricane video on youtube. 5 stars & favs.

[NeoCotex34]

What a classic

[cyclonejimcom]

That was probably footage from the September 1947 hurricane which came ashore near Ft. Lauderdale. This storm hit during the daytime and would most likely to have the most footage taken of a hurricane back then. The Feb.1952 storm was a real small compact T.Storm the came up from off the coast of Yucatan the hit south Florida during nighttime hours moving rapidly northeast.

[TyphoonHunter]

Amazing video! Really captures the fury of the hurricane. The comentary is fantastic too as is the music!

[vmax135]

Awesome vintage clip!!! Thanks for posting!! That said, this footage is not from the February 1952 "Groundhog Day" Tropical Storm in South Florida. It is likely from the late 1940's... most likely the September 17, 1947 Hurricane which made landfall near Pompano Beach, Florida as a low-end Category Four.

[walpatden]

was it in the morning night or afteroon

[hibiscusfreak]

Strange that they named it the Groundhog Day Storm. Isn't Groundhog Day in February? That's way outside hurricane season.
