VIOLENT THUNDERSTORM IN MIAMI BEACH - 80MPH wind gusts

[Wrtbrgr87]

This is the kind of shit we get ALL THE TIME in the Midwest (northern Illinois) area. I miss them! Of course, our infrastructure is a lot better set up to handle these types of storms. This makes me miss sunner. I laughed when I saw the rich bastard's Mercedes coupe flooded with water. LOL. Serves that bastard right.

[technofreak2509]

thats really bad!!!!!!! worth watching!!!!!!!!

[finajet]

how much was the temperature ?

[GuitarBenny]

The Best!!!!!!!!!

[adamnjoke]

I wish I lived in the South. It sucks being here in Seattle area. We don't get many storms here, just the same ole boring ass shit every day.

[CyrusNixes]

@adamnjoke You guys get some pretty cool windstorms during the winter. I have video of a few weak ones on my acount, but have yet to see something like the Hannukah Eve windstorm in 2006.

THUNDASTORMZ

[randomawesome17]

the wrath of GOd

[DjHardaFasta]

that was one evil storm!

[carolynnshere]

thunder storms are VARY SCARY

[FloridaSeverWeather]

wow great video im in melbourne florida we get like 2 or three of these over the summer months which generally means a year so theyre pretty rare though we do get some nasty storms every afternoon during the summer.the large hail is rare though its generally smaller here with a few exceptions my question for you is about the winter.during the winter here in central fl we sometimes see tornadoes or severe storms coming with frontal systems especally during la nin~a do they make it that far south?

[CyrusNixes]

The short answer is - kinda. We get thunderstorms, but not as frequently and not as severe as the ones you guys get up in central Florida.

During my two year stay in Miami I saw one severe thunderstorm in February, one in April, two in June and one in August. I'd say the peak month for severe thunderstorms in Miami, if they happen at all, would be May and June.

The above storm is the worst I saw and the only one with hail/sustained winds over 55mph.

[neoboy100]

Ohh man you should have seen Toronto's thunderstorm......I The thunder was sooo loud it shook some my printer off my desk and 18 tornadoes man WTF!

[dynimate8]

Im currently exepirence the worst hails stones ive ever seen there the size off goal balls, and near to smashing my conservetry roof.

[paulinotou]

cool. i live in hawaii, they dont have much thunderstorms, and when there is its annoying because my cousin screams every time there thunder.

[packisbetter90]

that hail is small

[22gwill]

We get storms in Arizona like this every summer afternoon because of our monsoon season. We had a storm in 2008 with the strengh of a cat. 3 hurricane. Caused a lot of destruction in Phoenix, especaily downtown and along the waterfront. Winds were at 115 mph when windows were blowing out, rooves were being shredded, and when the Bubble dome in Tempe was completly torn to pieces. So much rain, and lightning(300,000 flashes every hour and 1500 every 5 minutes) Do you get storms like that in Miami?

[CyrusNixes]

Well, a thunderstorm with winds the strength of a cat 3 hurricane (sustained over 115mph) would be incredibly rare even in the stormiest places in the world like central Oklahoma. This one in Miami probably, at it's worst, had sustained winds around 60mph with gusts to 80. and it was definitely unusual.

[22gwill]

Oh okay. Our storm was one our worst we've seen since the 80s'. But the radar thing showed excessive wind speeds of 85 mph and 100+ in Tempe, and 115+ in the heart of downtown. This storm formed in less than an hour on that humid August 28th. But I thought Miami had worse storms than this.

[CyrusNixes]

We get hurricanes more than any other US city, and we get dozens of thunderstorms every year. Sometimes they have high winds in the 40mph range, but over 60mph is rare.

[miamihurricane555]

um if remember correctly Miami get's at least one storm of this intensity(very severe) every year some year's up to 3 and at least a dozen severe storms am i right i live in the area

[CyrusNixes]

The mayor of South Beach said it was the worst storm he had seen in his 20+ years living on the beach. Miami gets strong storms, but ones with large hail and wind gusts over 70mph are rare.

[blinkingblythe]

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH FLOOD WATERS! It takes less than 2 feet to carry away a car, and there may be pits and other hazards hidden by the water.

[miamihurricane555]

that rule doesn't apply to urban Miami unless ur next to one of the canals simply because there is never a current because of how flat we r.

[hebneh]

Hey! Lights-Up Googly Balls are two for $10. And look, they come in all kinds of colors too.

Now as for all that weather outside that drugstore: Nature in the raw is seldom mild. That's what I say.

[spikonaleash]

i went to miami for a week when i was about 14, it rained the whole time i loved it plus i swam in the pool while it rained ,now that was cooool

[Blackout7955]

wow thats amazing

[brieli01]

Great Video!

[animefanforever21]

this is incredible

[chevyrider6]

i miss this!!!

[hal03pwn3r]

I had the same storm but mine was over 100mph

[IamArab1]

I LOVE THIS WATHER!! brings back memorys for me.

[Ndsntionz]

as crazy as our weather is i love it .. no where else do i feel so close to nature and its grasp

[xxxHERPERxxx]

Right on weather rules!

[lcanadensis]

You might as well called this storm a hurricane and put a name on it! Fantastic video. Love the lightning strikes at :28 and 1:09. Only once in my life do I remember having a storm like this; we had a storm in my area of NJ around 10 years ago that had 80-90mph wind gusts, but it lasted only about 20 minutes. That storm did drop a big tree on the house which put a damper on the day.

[johnnylt82]

fuck that lol

[tommy1930]

I from Russia, was good, that I have not bought the house in Miami... How frequently in you such weather?

[CyrusNixes]

Miami doesn't get many thunderstorms this strong, but a hurricane generally effects south Florida once every four or five years.

[tommy1930]

Ok, thx inform :)

[kingmalek]

Great video, love the part in the store lol

[burtonboy67]

thank u...now im home sick.......lived in miami from 2002 till 2007...we had the best storm...worked in miss saigon resteraunt in pinecrest and coral gables..check it out.....the storms were the best.....hurricanes the best too..miss it a lot,..fantastic vid.......lookin forward to ur next miami storm vid...now back in england.........cheers...

[Jakezxz1]

Your horrible

how can you MISS a hurricaine which kills thousands of people and causes billions of dollars in damage?

You need your head sorting out

[mmando07]

i was there that day i work at texas de brazil right on top of monty's at the marina,. it was a bad friday

[MADFACEPSP]

hey i remember that day.yea that was a bad one i was on colins that day so i stuck in the thick of it also....man i should have grab my cam too.nice vid

[heholtlove23]

Wow! How long did the storm last?

[noreaga12326]

DRAMAKING quit your whinning and shut your little faggot ass up. u cry like a lil girl who lost her doll. grow up!

[highbleachattitude12]

philipines is a little like this only the wind is so strong it can blow the roof off a house. and it can rip a tree the width of a round table. and when i went there there was a tornado. my poor uncle had to tie the roof because it was blowing off.

[DominicanBlackBoi]

great video!

[ritterdude]

Good stuff, there.  Nicely done.

[dramaking33]

thats pretty much a typical summer afternoon in miami

[ritterdude]

No it isn't, it was a highly rare occurance. Yes, it rains hard in the summertime,but not like that and without such strong winds. It does not flood like that everyday, especially on Miami Beach where this was shot. I live there,so I know

[dramaking33]

im just joking sure i know that this flooding is rare, but your wrong about the winds, during the storms there are winds and wind gusts like that, and i would know cuz i live there too probably longer than you have so dont be hatin

[CyrusNixes]

Winds of this strength are not typical at all in Miami in thunderstorms. Yeah, hurricanes and tropical storms strike and cause winds of this intensity or stronger, but having a severe thunderstorm with wind gusts of 70-80mph in SoBe is quite unusual.

[KR2C]

Its funny because I live about 15 miles west of Miami Beach, in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami, and we barely had a drop of rain the day this happened. And I am a survivor of Hurricanes Andrew, Katrina (yes it hit here 1st) and Wilma, and trust me, as bad as this was, it was nothing as bad as a real hurricane. But this was VERY unusual for South Fla. Yes we can have bad thunderstorms but this was extreme for us.

[dramaking33]

hey listen, douchebag, ive lived longer than you in miami and i would know so leave me alooooooooone....im not gonna use any damn bad words so leave me alooooone....ALONE!

[CyrusNixes]

you really are a drama king.

[dramaking33]

well, thats my username, and I DONT GIV A DAMN!!

[25HNA6]

Crazy!!!

[dramaking33]

Putchika! que tormenta

[Surprise4B]

Blimey!. What a sight. Hope nobody was hurt.

[halo3ha67]

do you like the cold?.... come to North Dakota the snow capital it gets to 46 minus degrees below or the normal temp. -71

[Dshaws90fordf150]

I live in Maine and we get a lot of snow. The normal temp is about 0-10 degrees F. Last winter we had a few days in a row where it was -35 degrees F.

[Jeff2X8]

This is a major sign that Global Warming are causing storms to explode and become more violent. Florida will soon be under water. I give it another 10 years before the city goes under water!!! Great video. I wonder what a cat 1 hurricane will do to Miami if this was just a passing storm!

[brainblaster99]

florida and texas are the most dangerous places on earth.

[futurecelebrity567]

yeah texas is the best except for the storms. that's where i live

[LowTegra]

wow great footage! thats why i love Florida, disaster capital of the country.....wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, lightning, sinkholes, severe thunderstorms....its has it all for weather enthusiasts

[CyrusNixes]

That's why I moved here!

[pietrovaldes]

Strong storm in Miami

[gabywantsrice]

thunder storms have been crazy down here lately

[rghfghf]

least the drought is gone....yessssss :)

thanks for the video,5 stars

[jhsung79]

Very good video and thanks for the detailed info.

[ajp42109]

cant believe i missed that storm. i was in orlando at that time. they had severe storms there to, even a tornado warning, but i never got to the most extreme part of the storm :(

[kandirael]

Thanks so much for posting this video. My daughter had told me about it (she lives on southbeach and had to walk across the causeway to get home when the buses stopped running to the beach), but it's really something to actually see it. Thanks again.

[CyrusNixes]

Thank you for your comment. I'm amazed your daughter was able to walk all the ay across the causeway, but I'm sure she got off So Be hours faster than the rest of us.

[CSSmanWoot]

i live in ga so i not use to it but this summer i a'm lol nice vid 5/5

[futurecelebrity567]

if you live in texas, oklahoma, and kansas then storms like these are very serious and very common. i live in texas so i'm used to the tornado warnings, floodings, etc.

[waiemigirl]

Awesome, Max! A storm like that would scare me to death, especially since I don't swim! Love Lotus

[CyrusNixes]

Thanks, mom.

[stitso1]

This is not epic. This weather is normal in other areas. We need more RAIN GOD DAMN IT.

[SevereTstormFan]

As awesome as this meteorological event was I feel awful for people who have property damage.

[SevereTstormFan]

That was INCREDIBLE!!!! I wish I was there. You did such a perfect job taping this man.

[CyrusNixes]

Thank you! I was so thankful ended up on South Beach that day, I think they closed the causeway a half hour after I got out there.

[PT3005]

FLA Lighting Capital of the world

Used to Live In Orlando we had weather like this

[KILLALL23]

be careful out there kid take all the necessary precaution because I want to see more of your stuff man

[sirmixalot1]

This was craziness! 3:57 How much does that blow?

[ogclip]

I live about 5 miles West of Miami beach and we had relatively calm whether.. The usual thunder and lightning but nothing like this. Its amazing how there are extremely isolated spots in storms like this.

[ogclip]

Weather. I'm 12 again.

[Montreary]

Going there this year for my holiday -__-*

Watch there be a hurricane when im there

[deadlykidCs]

Probably. Just gotta check the weather channel

[yiygohlkjbhv]

If Miami suffers severe storms every year, why haven't drainage/ sewer systems been improved to cope?

[nikkoid]

No drainage can handle this kind of flood, you need to see it by yourself, the amount of water falling per min is insane!

[HumanStrategy]

People in Miami need to get out more. Weather isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

[RastaChess]

dunno if anybody else saw, but there were some crazy lightnings... I could swear the where traveling horizontally across the sky. Not towards the ground. As crazy as it may sound..... THE PLANET"S REVENGE!!! muahahaha

[lbcitezen]

BTW does any one think the polar shift is happening right now?

[lbcitezen]

the world is falling apart. Just look at all the weather going around. Just imagine how powerful the hurricanes are going to be this year. Weather here in SoCal is a bit strange too, I mean its June, and we got some crazy severe weather all over. A tornado in Russia? Unheard of.

[shadowace421]

man i hate that, being stuck at a store because of rain, when that happened to me i just ran through the rain, i was soked and my pants almost fell while i was runnin, but yea great quality vid!

[johncampo]

I saw the black clouds just to the south of us in Ft Lauderdale and watched it on the radar late yesterday. We had the same violent weather too last week, but it didn't last for two hours.

[aescobar32]

thats summer in miami for ya

[sevenmir]

great video! i was in my office watching the madness outside all day, but it's cool to see what was going on at street level

[MorganBucks]

Great Academy Award quality Vid

Thanks for posting!

[CyrusNixes]

Why thank you!

[GoingNutsAlways]

There is talk by the news stations that this storm actually pushed raw sewage into the streets of Miami Beach and that there is now a health advisory because of it.

[PRPLURKL]

totally ruined my friday

[teagarden8650]

Good, i hope all them rude ass, arrogrant Cuban immigrants get flooded right off of the Beach.

[Hurricane23mph]

What an afternoon yesterday thanks for posting.

[jmdmiami]

amazing video! We were in our offices at 14th and West and it was pretty bad there too.

[BeechSundowner]

Wicked storm, great video

[stormspinner1]

WOW. Awesome capture! 5/5 stars.

[real0988]

Max, incredible video!, very strong wind .. Sudden storms are extremely dangerous, here where I live there was a storm last week, we call them squalls (turbonadas)and cause considerable damage.

[buho78]

I'm so jealous

great footage

[NaturalScienceFan]

Well this is incredible max! Florida is a good spot to be at right now, and especially this year as there has not been much activity out in the plains.

[howlen]

Very nice documentation of severe storm damage in an area I am quite familiar with. (I went to High School within a few blocks of there--25 plus years ago.

[cbehr91]

Very nice.

[bradct007]

great video.. I have been trapped at Waverly since the storm started. The streets are still flooded at 11:00 PM and the day staff are sleeping over.

[vmax135]

AWESOME video of an incredible storm, Max!!! I wish I hadn't been stuck at work.
