To be honest, from what I've seen in the video, the winds are weak. Hurricane Irene brought us stronger winds than that. I might be wrong, I haven't seen other videos of Ivan yet.
Hurricane Ivan was indeed "Ivan the terrible" hurricane. The hurricane devastation reached inland as far as 50 miles from the ocean. The area 50 miles in all direction looked like a nuclear bomb had exploded with lots of trees striped of leaves, and pine trees scattered all over the place like toothpicks being tossed. Power lines were down everywhere, and the power was out for months in some places. Ivan was not finished, it went up north, back down south, cross FL, then sideswipe the area hit.
There was a pine tree next to our apartments as big as these ones and it was twisted up and bent over and the top was laying on the ground like nothing. Also sounds like a tornado.! This was the second big hurricane I was in, I remember Opal here in '95 when I was 5, and then this one. And Dennis 9 mos after this!!
*sighs* typical Gulf Breeze power company forgot to turn off the power early. Or was this the reason why we shut down the power now hours before a storm hits?
We lived in Cantonment when Ivan hit, and we THOUGHT we were getting away from this sucker by going to stay with family in Birmingham...Nope!! Power was out for 5 days up there and I was so sick....ever had to read a pregnancy test with a lighter held up to your face? Oh yeah...twins. Hell of a year!
I was in Prattville, AL at the time. about 2 feet of water in some places, no power for anywhere from 4 days to about 2 and a half weeks, trees down, houses crushed. Wasn't as powerful as when it hit down south, but it still packed a punch up here.
i slept through ivan. i was living in golf links ( edge of mooney rd) took out 3 roofs of off apartment buildings there. luckily mine wasn't one of them.
I went through it as well on the western end of Pensacola, brand new brick house though so no damage to us at all and no trees in the neighborhood cause they plow them all down when building new construction. I need to find my old video and get a way to upload it on the net as well!
please dont read dis...u will get kissed on d next possible friday...by the love of ur life...however if you dont post dis comment...to atleast 3 videos...u will die within 2 days...now uv started reading this...dont stop dis is so scary...send dis over to 5 videos...in 143 minutes...wen ur done press F6... ur crushes name will appear...on d screen...in big letters... dis is so scary...cuz it actually...works!!!!!!!!
Katrina was the worst hurricane to ever hit land in America - Levy no Levy still the worst..I have never been back to New Orleans after storm hit but to this day I tear up when I look at photos and reminders.
I sure hope nothing like Katrina ever hits anywhere..
@kriccistarr same here, I live in Baldwin County,AL and we took the eye of this storm. they keep saying the wind were only like 115 or so, but my neighbor had the wind thing and he got a 135 reading for more than a minute and we live 30 miles inland.
I rode out Ivan in Pensacola. I must have seen 5-6 Transformers blow up that night. It looked like the 4th of July. We had 2 Big trees blow over in my front yard.
We rode this storm out with about 10 people in my home (8 teens/2 adults)...our flat roof got ripped off a couple of hours before it came ashore (tornado?)...our entire ceiling (drywall, insulation) caved in inside our home from the water soaking it...I called my mom (yeah, we still had a phone, weird, hunh?) before we went to an addition in the back of our house...I just wanted someone to know where we were incase they had to dig us out---but we survived...the flat roof had wrapped AROUND us.
I'd say theres a lot of hurricanes you'll never forget. I would love to live somewhere near the ocean, but just too much of a threat of hurricanes. I hope you and your family are okay this and future hurricane season.
I Live in Pine Grove, about a mile south of Bay Minette. when the eye wall hit, a tree fell on my house. we were all Ok. we didnt even know it hit till we walked outside durring the "eye"
Katrina was worse than Ivan, but Ivan was a big storm that cause lot's of damage. Katrina killed 2000 people while Ivan killed about 300 or so people.
Ivan actually caused more damage directly than Katrina did, what caused most of the deaths from Katrina was the levy breaking..... which was a result of Katrina, but the deaths where mostly caused AFTER they broke and not from Katrina itself. Ivan caused the deaths of those people directly and if the levy hadnt broke in Louisiana no one would remember it like Ivan
true but did you ever witness first hand the destruction in orange beach almost no house where left standing in perdido key..... plus over 5 condos from orange beach to perdido key were over 90% destroyed to the ground that thing was so strong it blew my mind
No, I live in Texas. I'm not saying that Ivan wasn't a bad storm because every hurricane is bad in some way or another. I just think that the direct damage from Katrina was worse than Ivan.
@nexusajah ..... Wrong my brother. There were many many deaths on the Mississippi coast from storm surge. This Damage does not touch the damage I saw after Katrina with a ten foot pole. I'm not trying to downplay the damage from Ivan, because it was very bad, but nothing like the Mississippi Coast after Katrina.
I live right where the eye of Ivan passed through. Everything was so dead afterwards. There were no leaves on the trees- (the ones still standing). We were out of school for three weeks. The power was out for two weeks. And the internet was down for four weeks!
Now Ivan was a cane!!! Those poeple in Texas got lucky that Ike was pretty weak. Yes Ike did damage but compared to Andrew, Ivan, and Katrina Ike was just a storm.
I am in Galveston on 9/11/2008. The storm surge for this storm is expected to be not only very high, but cover a lot of this part of Texas. If you're low, please evacuate.
If I remember right, Ivan set a record for 2004 for most damage caused which (again if I remember right) was broken the next year by Katrina. 04-05 hurricane seasons were extremely active, and this season is looking like it may be another one of those years...
it must be really scary during hurricane season, living on the coast of the united states. i live about 300 miles away from the coast and it even get's pretty bad sometimes when a hurricane comes on land, so i can just imagine being right on the water
Scariest night of my life. Experienced the NE quadrant. Pitch black outside, wind roared deafening- horrifying. Trees crashed to the ground around the house, ground shook. Born here 1962, worst I've experienced. Cat 3? NE quadrant came before the eye, it was very strong. Lost strength when the eye hit. See for yourself. Google: Hurricane Ivan Characteristics and Storm Tide Evaluation
Scroll down to the picture and look at the color coded intensity scale. We had some Cat 4 winds.
hurricane season is from june 1 to November 1 so hurricanes can form in november depending on how the sea tempature is at the moment that is why they form in september because the waters are much warmer....and that is fuel for them
I saw all the damage on my way to florida from Nashville back in the fall of 2004 pretty bad! on one side of the panhandle everything was untouched and than pensacola was like a bomb went off very weird hurricane!
everytime I watch this video, It remines me of hurricane Fran that went through my neck of the woods in North Carolina and I can still hear the roar of those winds and trees snapping and uprooted trees hitting houses around me. Love this video!
I served on fema rescue operations as a truck driver and even the outer rings are pretty scary. This was one that i served on. Me and another driver (lucky dog)(i'm swatch by the way) were supplying a town in Florida that got hit by a hurricane. We were at that location for a very long time because of the supply need and we were hit by yet another hurricane. We had the option to leave but sat though hurricane Francis.
Being from Pensacola I was a baby when the last major hurricane which was Frederick hit in 1979 over in Mobile and I up until Ivan hit had heard stories of how bad it was and I was kinda excited to see exactly what my parents were talking about and why they were so paranoid and had so much respect for hurricanes. But let me tell you, hurricane Ivan, made a beliver out of me. I was scared to death and in awe all at the same time.I dont know where this guy was but it was not where I was
This video sucked,nothing happened. I live in Maine and we've had worse storms than that. I'm sure in some parts it was worse, but in that guys yard? c'mon please...
Hey you where not in Hurricane Ivan, so you can't nothing. There are no storms in Maine that Costed 15 billion like Ivan. You were not even in the storm, like me, so you can't say nothing.
weve always stayed for hurricanes, but i had a bad feeling about that one, and wanted to go.. so we went to tupelo. and then came back and everyone was flipping out who stayed, i had a neighbor outside in his underwear, holding his dog, being all wierd and shit.. i think it forced him to take too many medications that night. thanks for putting this up because i only saw the aftermath. not actual footage. i lived in a trailer too, no electricity for two weeks. it was bad.
i was in Gulf Shores, 2 week, before Ivan hit, and the weather at that time, was blue skies,until Labor Day morning, the day we left, all thanks to hurricane Francis, hitting the east coast of Florida.
I Used to live in Pensacola If you have never been trough a Hurricane you have know Idea what bit feels Like. I was in that storm it took me like 7 hours to go to bed.I just wanted to let you know if you live in Florida watch out. Do not respond.
I know how it was with that hurricane... tore my houseroof off. : ( i went through all 4 in 2004. though me n my sis went outside during the last hurricane cause we wanted to see from out there. though Charley we was so scared. Us kids were frightened. God bless those who didnt make it :(
only thing good bout huricanes are the memorable hurrican parties that happen. drink the storm out thats the name of the game. i wouldnt recommend attempting to surf in a huricane tho, rip currents....
I was in middle school when this hit and it was the single most terrifying experience of my entire life. Nothing compares to what Ivan did to us in Pensacola. Nothing.
It was the most horrible hurricane I have been through. I live in Atmore,AL (50mi inland) and it was devastating here. It didn't get bad here until about 1 o'clock in the morning and a few times my house was shaking like the roof was going to blow off. Very scary.
this is so sprising I live right near the beach but only a window was broken from my house my friend put angels on all the window sills and nothing was broken in her house!
Im in Navarre and I was here when it hit. No video can do justice to how scary it was. We had a wind gage at a gas station down the street break with a 142 mph gust.
I remember Ivan. our football team had an away game & we went to it. the band went too. our director still had us do our halftime show in the pouring rain and blowing winds. looking back, it was actually an amusing experience. too bad the next morning we woke up to destruction of our yards and what not
We moved north to Molino to ride out the storm. Bad decision. The house we stayed out was torn apart by tornadoes. A tree came through the roof, tornadoes and wind ripped the shingles from the roof (it even took the tar paper) and the rain poured in dropping ceilings. At one point, I was huddled in a corner watching water run down the wall beside me weaving in and out of family photos. And the howling wind...I never thought it would stop.
most people don't realize that tornadoes are Very common in hurricane conditions. If you are going to live in a hurricane area, you should invest in a steel safe room installed into your house!!
I'm in the pensacola area. I'm 20 so I can only really remember from Hurricanes Erin, Opal, and on, but this was the worst storm I can remember. I was so scared that night i had to go lay down in the kitchen I was so scared.
Just a tip, if you lose power during future hurricanes, tiles stays so cool so laying on them can cool you off quick.
I didn't know that AL had underground shelters. Cool. I lived in Pensacola, but evacuated b/o Ivan. I'm glad I did. I pray for those lost in Grand Lagoon.
Ivan was a nightmare even in Troy.. had to hold up my shoddy apartment window from blowing in for 8 damn hours! Talk about tiring. and then those tornado sirens going off thru the early morning night hours.. ugh!
I was an hour east of you all but we survived Ivan somehow. I agree -- nighttime is the WORST for hurricanes! Too scary! (I also hated the feelings of isolation afterwards w/no power and little communication to the outside world.) Thanks for sharing this video!
Btw, we went thru the hurricane w/6 mos old triplets! And they slept thru everything! Go figure!
oh i forgot to say thanks for this video..since i didnt get to see any of what was happenin since my family & i were in the ground shelter. & i didnt get to watch some of the video footage on ABC news
oh lord i hated that hurricane! i was scared to death..but i was in an underground shelter but it didnt have a good door so it ALMOST came off! & water got into the shelter..maybe almost ankle deep..not sure..but we were okay. half of my roof came off! i wouldve rather had this hurricane during the day! its much more scarey in the night time!
terrifying!

I was in middle school when this hit and it was the single most terrifying experience of my entire life. Nothing compares to what Ivan did to us in Pensacola. Nothing.

Actually what hurricane Ivan (the terrible) did to Grenada was the worse. Good u made it out alive though.

It was the most horrible hurricane I have been through. I live in Atmore,AL (50mi inland) and it was devastating here. It didn't get bad here until about 1 o'clock in the morning and a few times my house was shaking like the roof was going to blow off. Very scary.

Im in Navarre and I was here when it hit. No video can do justice to how scary it was. We had a wind gage at a gas station down the street break with a 142 mph gust.

I remember Ivan. our football team had an away game & we went to it. the band went too. our director still had us do our halftime show in the pouring rain and blowing winds. looking back, it was actually an amusing experience. too bad the next morning we woke up to destruction of our yards and what not

We moved north to Molino to ride out the storm. Bad decision. The house we stayed out was torn apart by tornadoes. A tree came through the roof, tornadoes and wind ripped the shingles from the roof (it even took the tar paper) and the rain poured in dropping ceilings. At one point, I was huddled in a corner watching water run down the wall beside me weaving in and out of family photos. And the howling wind...I never thought it would stop.

most people don't realize that tornadoes are Very common in hurricane conditions. If you are going to live in a hurricane area, you should invest in a steel safe room installed into your house!!

I'm in the pensacola area. I'm 20 so I can only really remember from Hurricanes Erin, Opal, and on, but this was the worst storm I can remember. I was so scared that night i had to go lay down in the kitchen I was so scared.
Just a tip, if you lose power during future hurricanes, tiles stays so cool so laying on them can cool you off quick.

I didn't know that AL had underground shelters. Cool. I lived in Pensacola, but evacuated b/o Ivan. I'm glad I did. I pray for those lost in Grand Lagoon.

Ivan was a nightmare even in Troy.. had to hold up my shoddy apartment window from blowing in for 8 damn hours! Talk about tiring. and then those tornado sirens going off thru the early morning night hours.. ugh!

I wish I could have only witnessed that badboy from the safety of the internet. I was in Jamaica when he hit.

it was just a little stronger than opal. i enjoied to be honest... hurricanes bring you back down to the bare basic needs...
the radar photograph at the beginning, we (Crestview) had already lost power by then.

I was an hour east of you all but we survived Ivan somehow. I agree -- nighttime is the WORST for hurricanes! Too scary! (I also hated the feelings of isolation afterwards w/no power and little communication to the outside world.) Thanks for sharing this video!
Btw, we went thru the hurricane w/6 mos old triplets! And they slept thru everything! Go figure!
