Typhoon Omar at Yigo, Guam - August 28, 1992

Incredible footage from Yigo, Guam during the eyewall of Typhoon Omar on August 28, 1992. As winds increase dramatically, roofs begin peeling off adjacent buildings, with one landing right outside the window of my car!

What is the difference between a Cyclone and hurricane and a typhoon? Qld in about to get taken out in less then 48hrs.

@birdie068 They're are the same thing, they are knowned by different names in different parts of the world but they're all hurricanes. The word cyclone simply means air action.

Do you visit guam just to view these typhoons/storms?

or you're just on a vacation o.O ?

[cyclonejimcom]

@cLcINFERN0671 Yeah, I was just there to chase the typhoons. I was just recently laid off from my job here in Florida and decided to go where I always wanted to go.

so insane!

But where I come from, we don,t call them typhoons ... we call them hurricanes. I live in the USA.

was a wild year, all those typhoons and the 8.2 earth quake ya?

I was living at Naval Air Station Agana during Omar in 1992. What a wild day that was. A river of water running through the "typhoon-proof" house and 14 days with no power. Walking around outside as the eye passed directly overhead was unforgettable.

@chamorugirl The person in this video is a professional storm chaser. He has been chasing storms and hurricanes alike for years, so I think you should take back calling him a, ''fuckin idiot..''.

Impressive

I was there for that as well. I remember it flipped a house not far from my school completely on to its roof. I was there for the 4 typhoons that followed Omar, but those were weaker. I was also there for the 8.2 quake.
