I may have possibly figured out a lot of the Bermuda Triangles mystery. I do believe that the iron rich sand storms from the Sahara affect compasses and possibly getting into engines causing mechanical failure. Whether or not it's a surface craft or an aircraft. Granted it doesn't explain all of the disappearances but may explain a bunch of them. It's just a theory but a pretty solid one.

Thanks I was trying to remember what my stepdad called these he has passed so I couldn't ask he called them frost flower we see them alot in southern middle Tennessee along creeks and low roads

Wonderful description, thank you! In the northeast we sometimes find them during the last full moons of September or October. Depends on how high the elevation is, and how near to the coast ee are...

Lovely. Thank you

Love it

Never saw this. Quite interesting. Thanks

Aint gonna find them down here in mobile 😂.The moment he said below freezing i knew it wasn't here.

Thank you Mr. Seals. Please keep teaching. We need you.

I never knew about this! Thank you for the history lesson. 😊

That’s crazy. I only heard the name before. I never heard the story. 💛🕯🙏

Hi Mr. Sealls. 🙋🏻‍♀️. Thanks for all your work. Heard you on weatherbrains a while ago.

i was on the uss guadalcanal in the carrbean ,to ride it out .the air speed indicater flew off,with the last record air at 200 mph.they call on the intercom.i was guarding jeeps on the hangar deck.i was a marine.

A HURRICANE NAMED AFTER ME WTF 💀💀💀

Looks like my front yard in Jackson County, MS. Almost every pine was snapped.

Too bad ours drips into the sump pump well so I never realized how much water good be produced. The idea came up because I have been thinking of doing a rainwater barrel and apparently some people hook up their sump pump to drain water into their barrel

The two most beautiful places to see in the fall season are the falls at Watkins Glenn and Letchworth State Park (Castile entrance). Both in western NY ❤ Thanks for reminding me of the area I onced called home. But, for winter, after the first snowfall, I will be thankful for Mobile County Alabama ❤

BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful location.

Big fan, always a joy to see a post! Keep up the great work and keep making me smile!

Hi Mr. Seals. Please. Where can I find this beautiful, serene place? I need it!

I was living in puerto rico when this. I was 13 years old

I lived in Mobile at that time, it was horrific!!!

Born '79 moved to florida '80. I was like 5 or 6 when Elena. I was so young I didn't understand what a hurricane was only that it was bad. I rememebr thinking it was some evil witch-like woman in the sky floating around selectively attacking people and there was nothing that could be done but hide. We lived in pinellas county florida (Seminole). One of the rare times i remember my parents not fighting and home together.

Thank you Alan for speaking about these storms

How weird that a hurricane search leads me to this video im so locked in and intrested already. as a black man from london this is amazing. A new Subscriber is born

I was little when opal came through. I used to live in Dothan, Alabama.

I turned 21 on the 19th after Frederick hit. We rode it out in my Grandparents home next door. It was built in the early 1900’s and had been through more storms than ours. At 66, I can say that it was the scariest night of my life. The roots from a fallen pecan tree, ripped a back room off while we stood in the kitchen watching in terror, not knowing what caused it at the time. Nighttime Hurricanes are the worst because it’s so loud, but you can’t see anything outside. We were blocked in with trees downed over our street. Folks with chainsaws cut us out in about a week. No power for 3-1/2 weeks. Pray for Florida going through Hurricane Milton tonight. 10-9-2024

I'd love to hear Alan's perspective on the current hurricane situation. Milton is supposed to make landfall today and it's being said that it could be historically devastating, and this coming as the southeast is still reeling from Helene.

Great presentation totally pro.

I remember Elena .. 1985 .. sat out for three days churning then booked North to Mississippi

The first Hurricane I was in when I visited family in Atmore, Alabama. Went back to Los Angeles a few weeks before Katrina formed. Very devastating Hurricane Season 2005 was.

My mom lived in Pensacola at the time she told me about the storm

We miss you, sir.

Lived in Marrero, La during Juan, and it pushed the gulf water all the way up to my neighborhood for nearly a week as it just sat and wobbled on the Louisiana coast line.

Just taking a moment to reflect on the 20th Anniversary of Ivan... from leaving the airline I worked at, just before 3mile bridge was closed- waves kicking blowing up over the straightaway of the bridge was frightening enough, to being at our mother's home in Navarre (we left our tiny home in Pensacola & felt safer in Navarre with a 9 month old)...her home the windows were "breathing" & that's with boards on them to blackwater/coldwater creeks rising in back of her yard !! Then the old beautiful tree felled in the backyard, just a few feet from taking out her backside bedroom where the kids & furbaby camped through the night. I've been through Opal & Erin being from FWB on the island & damn Ivan certainly was terrible. May the years between these monsters teach us each more lessons than before. Peace & Blessings to all♡

I was 10 and this was an eye opener fir a lot of people

I just think of how much it reshaped the Alabama Gulf Coast. You see pictures of old Gulf Shores and such, and its modest beach houses and such, but it was Fredrick that wiped them out, opening up for the coming of the condos and such. We said we were ‘Ready for Freddie’ in ‘79, but we weren’t ready for its long term repercussions.

Best of luck! We will miss your descriptive weather reports! Be blessed 🙏

This is where I live. I was 8 years old

Bay St Louis. Not St Louis Bay.

I get 5 gals overnight with a small window shaker ac unit. High desert, only 16% humidity at the moment. Here's a trick. Run your condensate line to a small tank with a bilge switch and 12v pump. Water your plants or a couple of fruit trees. You're paying for that water anyway via your electrical bill. If you're cheap like me, use a small solar panel, charge controller and an old battery for the pump. Why waste that water when it can be making your food.

Tore Atlanta up.

I was also stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi when Camille hit. A member of the Communications Squadron maintaining the Air Traffic Control Radar on the runway. We rolled the Radar set vans into a hangar prior to the storm. The next morning after the storm, we set it back up to resume operations, but a cargo plane or two were already making visual approaches as soon as the runway was cleared and the winds allowed. These were some exceptional pilots! The Control Tower was badly damaged so a Mobile Tower was set up quickly. All the roads along that area of the coast were blocked with debris or washed away including the Ocean Springs bridge. There was no power in town, no telephone service or TV. Fresh water was scarce. We were later tasked to search the beach area for survivors. The beach was littered with lots of dead cows that had washed in from the barrier islands that raised cattle. Enough said about that. Overall an experience that was a one time event hopefully. Enough said about that.

I was 10, we lived in Baton Rouge, it was mostly a wind event for us, I remember my Dad going up onto the roof to fix a loose shingle and he was almost blown down. We could stand against the wind and it would hold us up. After the hurricane we all watched the news about the devastation in MS, my Mom got a big box and started collecting for Red Cross donations. I remember taking my candy money and going to the little corner store, I got some baby food, vienna sausages and twinkies then added it to that box, it was all I could do but I had to do something. That gesture has continued through-out my life that I have to do what I can to help, feeding people , collecting I have to do something for those victims of disaster.

Can't believe it has been 20 years since this unbelievably powerful storm hit Pensacola. It rocked our house near Cordova Mall, and it was rendered irreparable. Sadly, we had to tear it down. I'll never forget how devastating Ivan was. I will also never try to ride out a storm that big again.

Santa Rosa county was destroyed, we had to evacuate, we were out of power for weeks

How old was the person who made this video when this storm happened?

0:03 y 0:04 y 0:12 y 0:06 y 1:33 y 0:09 y 1:39 y 0:17

I moved to Ft. Walton Beach in early May of 95. Hurricane Erin was my first hurricane on August 2nd. My apartment was on the second floor and our balcony was quietly out of the wind. So we sat and sipped coffee and watched the stuff blow down the road. Across the street there was a gas station that was converted into a Subway restaurant. The roof over the gas pump area was being torn apart by the wind. I thought it was pretty intense. There was a lot of damage but I had no reference because it was my first hurricane. Then Opal came along. Opal was crazy. I wanted to stay at the apartment and watch like we did last time but a 'next of kin' insisted we drive our two crappy cars out of town in the evacuation. We were stuck in the traffic and both cars had radiator leaks and the kept overheating. We were running out of water. The ‘next of kin’ kept breaking down. It was hell for pretty much the entire day until we made it to Opp Alabama and found refuge in a church. And that story alone I could write a whole book about. Crazy times. The next day was beautiful. Sun was shining and it was peaceful. Fist chance we got, we drove back to Ft Walton and saw all the devastation. Boats and cars were strewn across the roads and in peoples yards. It was insane. Then we went and explored the beach on Okaloosa Island. The fist few stories of all the hotels were gutted and filled with sand. The pier was mostly gone. The beautiful sand dunes were pretty much gone. That was the saddest part for me. Those sand dunes were amazing! In the spring of 96, I got a temp job planting sea oats on the beach as a hurricane restoration project. That was my first year in Florida in a nutshell. Thanks for making this video!

I lived in Mobile, Alabama at the time and I remember it felt like my house was going to be ripped apart and we were out of power for almost a week. My school got severely damaged. My dad’s condo on Gulf Shores got really badly damaged. The building was demolished and rebuilt, but it was still so traumatic.
