This is a sample of my Hurricane Rita storm chase video. The footage was taken as Rita moved westward through the Florida Straits, passing about 40 miles south of Key West. Peak winds, towards the middle of this clip, are near 75mph with gusts near 100mph. By the end of the clip, storm surge has risen to about 2 feet over South Roosevelt Blvd., along the southeastern tip of the island.

  • I lold so hard at the chickens, just such random placement. I was going to write a really constructive paragraph on how unreal weather phenomena can be but when I saw those chickens - I just couldn't help myself I apologise.

  • @Mthulu LOL. Actually Key West, Florida is overrun with them... so they're pretty much everywhere you look. But, it was still pretty random to run across a whole family during the storm... so I decided to include them in the clip. The same thing happened during Hurricane Ike, except that time I was swarmed by a hungry group of them when I opened my car door...lol.

  • HAHAHAHA either the dumb N.W.S. is mistaking the hurricane for a supercell, or that is a crazy hurricane 0.0....!
