Severe Thunderstorm in Miami - May 27, 2009

The winds increased as the storm grew ontop of me. Winds probably gusted to around 55mph around :45 seconds. The damage pictures I took where only from immediately outside my building. I saw lots more downed trees and damaged signs/billboards later on that day. It seemed like every street near my area had at least one or two huge tree branches blocking them.

Very nice! Great wind gusts there. I like to think it was like a powerful tropical storm. You sure do get good storm footage at its worst.

Thanks, Nathan! It was just like a powerful tropical storm for a minute or two. Hopefully I get to see a lot more of this soon.

i was in orlando the may 20-28, worst time of the month. ha. we were at universal and this down pour just started while we were leaving. when we were in the parking garage lightning struck ontop of the garage. creepy. and when we stayed at the Swan, at disneyworld, it was hurricane weather, you couldnt see out the balcony window at all. it was foggy from the rain and the wind, i will never forget it.
