Hurricane Ike Timelapse

[killerbydayornight]

the last time i was there i parked just about where the blue house was

[coorsbeer93]

Bermuda beach is back to normal...we have a house down there, front row was wiped out and all gone. Bermuda beach drive is beach separated by bollards. Second row homes are now front row.

Does anyone know if the city is has fixed the sewage system in Bermuda Beach?

[OKCFan12]

because of the 8,000 + people buried about 15 feet beneath Galveston you did. The city is nearly 13 feet higher than it was in 1900 - can you imagine the storm surge of Ike without that 13 feet - and the 1900 storm had winds twice as strong as well...

[Ponciostr]

what was the smoke? 12:28?

[Pokemon978IsBackOn]

I survived Ike :) The only damage we got was a broken window, lol. I'm in Northern Illinois.

I just keep expecting some dinosaur to come walking through.

Respond to this video... house fight to the end

[MickMan211]

i live on 9 mile road..what a mess

[joelsfallon]

Awesome video, thanks for uploading this. The more of these videos i watch, the more i want to study meteorology :x

[BlueYup]

I think you got the marina burning down. Bosburn got that, too.

[TheWDWMom]

@BlueYup Yep. That was an incredible sight, was not sure what it was when it was happening. There were lots of fires on Galveston that day/night and next day.

[CitricAcid]

Lol, right after the lightening hit that sign went out.

And where is that smoke coming from starting at 10:13?

[TheWDWMom]

@CitricAcid The smoke is from the marina near the port cranes.

[gabobo]

very nice !! :)

[TheWDWMom]

@gabobo Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. We have other full-length videos on our channel too, if you were not aware of that.

thats a time lapse there

[Anrkist713]

Did the little blue house make it? =[

[hurricanetrack]

No it did not. Ike got it. Was dark so we missed it. D'oh!

[PityOak]

WOW! nice capture of a storm in timelapse!

[teapestanlaspatas]

GET A LIFE MAN !!!!

[hurricanetrack]

I have a great one, anymore of a life and I would be over the legal limit. Trust me on that one. But thanks for the advice.

[lostindiancamp]

So much for the mandatory evacuation.

[bkmustang07]

its so interesting to see the cloud spin

[AshlieandKailee]

w7mag u r right

[hebneh]

Obviously not a direct hit, so this all looks deceptively minor and not dangerous. The passage of the eyewall would be a hugely different situation!

[bkmustang07]

it was a direct hit on galveston you need to look up hurricane ike i have family from there

[shelleyk80LoveClub]

I survived Ike! woot woot

[real0988]

Interesting initiative using a timelapse long! .. is remarkable the progress of the sea to inland .. I am always fascinated to note the change in the cyclonic circulation in an extensive time lapse video.

[hurricanetrack]

If we ever get lucky with the right hurricane, we hope to show the turning of the hurricane's center along with the surge that it pushes ashore. A lot of things have to come together at exactly the right time for that to happen. How about that fire too? Notice how the smoke streams across the shot from left to right but the clouds are coming pretty much at the camera? The winds were not aligned from the surface to the cloud ceiling. I never have seen that before.

[real0988]

Yes, fire is a good reference for the dominant and shifting winds .. that you mention, a timelapse video of the eyewall could apply to the best ever made .. nobody has tried, it's true, it takes many ideal circumstances. Greetings.

[sticksquash]

I'm just curious, what is the time that fire started at 10:10 ? Recording the seawall storm surge is useless since the water shoots up an extra 5 feet because of its structure. I'm going to take a look at those apartments near Olympia Grill soon.

[hurricanetrack]

You're welcome. I hope that people can see the power of a hurricane from a different perspective- and this seems to help. Keeps us safer too.

[w7mag]

WOW!!!

These remote cameras you set up are a fantastic idea.

Thanks for posting this for all to witness..
