This another one from the series on Katrina: Eyewall. The wind was just blasting through the garage here and I was totally stunned by it. It was going so fast, it didn't seem real at all...

  • I will be scared that a piece of garbage turn into a proyectile and kill me... how do you solve that problem man?

  • @gapicek We just hid behind a variety of building pieces. THick, heavy building walls. Strong stairwells, etc. We were really careful not to get into the debris stream or yeah, I would have had my head taken off.

  • amazing footage man! ur so brave :D

  • hey, thanks! Yeah, it was quite ride. Hurricane Ike was almost as good, but I was better prepared. Better camera too! I really enjoy bringing what it's really like to go through these monster storms to everyone.

  • Hey, the wind in there would have been worse then outside. Like a tornado, a bridge overpass will be like a wind tunnel. Compressing the wind. This is even worse. It has a level roof and level bottom. So the wind hitting u would be strengthened by this "wind tunnel effect"

  • Absolutely right. There is a "compression" effect that occurs inside the parking garage - you can see it in some of the other videos. However, the parking garages are so well built they're the best spots for intercepting and being safe. We just have to make sure that there's a stariwell or other structure inside to hide behind. Most of the video was shot from those hiding positions. A lot of debris was flying around.

  • Katrina to me proved when it comes to the damage of a hurricane, you can throw categories out the window. It made landfall as a category 3, yet it had surge of a very strong category 5. Category 5 surge is usually over 18 feet, and cat. 3 surge is usually 8-12 feet. People don't understand hurricanes that were previously stronger, carry that same surge with them. I just don't think whether Katrina was a category one at landfall, or a category 5, it still would have the same tremendous surge.

  • Go all the way to 0:00 it sounds like its saying DIE after you listen to it enough.

  • wow you filmed that long got a tornado and everything i gave this video a thumbs up I live in the south but still havent got to see a hurricane thanks for the video

  • @98dancerbabe: the whole thing took a full day to pass through. I moved from position to position to shoot different angles, scenes etc. I was exhausted at the end of it all. Full hurricane force winds hit us for about 6 hours or so.

  • Good fishin' weather

  • So dark.

  • great job! really scarry. thanks

  • Thats pretty sick, most people don't have te balls to go outside in that, but if you stood in the directly in the path of the wind, you would get blown away no questions asked
