That is a good storm and rain/flood video. You should upload it to a new site called GaiaGoneWild dot com They are building up a huge collection of videos just like this one:)

Cheers!

We do, I guess. Though, not this much.

cracka of a piece, I liked the part about "trying to get that ford out" Really going after the footage and not simply pulled over in the one spot

[sfalconer]

Thanks! Just trying to edit together the interesting bits and get a feel for how wild the water was.

[sleven53]

driving in the day time... most things were cleaned up, the SES worked very well!

[sfalconer]

That they did, it's shocking how fast the water rose then went down in some areas too.

[morphix007]

hmmm, good, no excessive zooming or anything... maybe make a day time video of driving down that same street after the storm

[sfalconer]

Ha ha, thanks. Film teachers have a thing against zoom and I guess their messege stuck in my head.

[morphix007]

now as a good youtube citizen you must now check outmy latest video

i dont recall newcastle had any thunder that friday

[sfalconer]

The flooded cars were from Friday, the stormy beach Saturday and the Pasha Bulka Sunday. There were quite a few flashes of lightning on Saturday, but the thunder wasn't very loud =D

[chompy44]

i know this is an extreme storm. but do you guys get much coastal rain seasonally?

[lidbra]
