That tree is looking real sus?! lol

[@dorei9235]

Again great footage and I so appreciate you keeping yourselves safe and thank you for not feeling like you have to talk every minute. Hearing the roar of the wind and the sound of the pelting rain is pure professionalism. Prayers for Florida and you and your team.

[@gwennelson4565]

Guys thank you for filming but please please don't risk your lives

[@thecapricorn11]

they have to in order to get this footage

[@UnknownDJ46]

R.i.p guys

[@oregoncoastadventures5826]

They are storm chasers you moron. It's their job to do this. Just the same as people that chase tornados . They do it to help record and further understand the power of these storms .

[@blindingshadow3463]

We are safe don't worry

[@gilloera8912]

Gwen, these guys have 10 years of strong 💪 experience of storm chasing.

[@TheJanet4321]

Yikes!!! You guys are really pushing the envelope. Don't go too far with this - don't want to lose your lives.

[@zincminus3793]

Thanks for risking it all to keep us updated guys 👍

[@InspectahPatio]

I mean we don't really need to be updated to know that there is a big-ass hurricane there. Get the fuck out of town and stay safe so emergencies services doesn't have to waste resources saving these people's lives. There should be a law that people who choose not evacuate are not allowed to ask for help if needs be. Potentially dragging other people into this is selfish.

[@scotty6124]

Right but what happens if they get into trouble and need help. Now you're taking away emergency workers from other areas to help people who purposely drove into a major hurricane. Trust me I like watching this stuff too but sometimes you gotta think about the big picture.

[@zincminus3793]

@@scotty6124 FYI, I actually don’t like watching this but I have family their and I’m far away so I’m seeing things from a different angle, also, I’ve been watching local news networks taking similar risks as well as certain MSM actually paying these people for clips of their footage! I do understand your perspective but there are many

[@SnarkyRC]

I used to live in that same area 15 years ago. Hurricanes are awesome to experience. If you're going be driving in that deep of water, you should install a snorkel on your vehicle. It's pretty easy and only takes a few minutes. That way, you don't run the risk of drowning your engine.

[@zoltanpopelka2931]

I lived in Naples, Florida for 20 years, and lived through at least 10 hurricanes. But the most devastating hurricane was "Irma". That was the last drop in the glass, when I nearly got nervous breakdown, and almost lost everything I had. This is heart breaking, I feel sorry for those still live there. During Irma, I was on my knees, bagging for mercy! And I promised to myself "if I live through this, I'll leave for ever, and never go back to Florida"! Glad I did! Those who suffer now, stay strong and use common sense. This will happen every year. My prayer goes out to all, love from Hungary.

[@Jesuisderetour88]

I still live here unfortunately. What’s it like in Hungary?

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

Hurricanes are cool. WTF?

[@Spladoinkal]

Yeah, we left like 6 months before this happened. This was worse than Irma for sure

[@kathyfann]

Thank You so much for showing us

[@uberrox452]

Thanks 👍 You've done a wonderful job of showing the power of a hurricane 🌀

[@knp72281]

I've lived in Punta Gorda my whole entire life and I've never experienced horror like I did with Hurricane Ian. I thought Hurricane Charley was a monster but this was something else. It's been over two weeks now and our lives are still turned upsidedown. Thank you for filming this. I couldn't see anything during the storm just a complete whiteout. I could hear what sounded like jet airplanes flying over the house and I could see explosions everywhere but I could never get a good look at what was happening until the next morning when the sun came up😭. Our precious little town was blown away and drown by that storm. None of us expected anything like this to happen even with the warnings. Living here, we deal with dodging hurricanes every year so people tend to ignore what the emergency management says. All I know is, I will not stick around for the next one. I stayed to help protect my home and it's a good thing I did bc my sliding glass door blew in and we had to move all the furniture up against it to try to stop the wind and water from coming in. We have nothing left as far as furniture and appliances are concerned. We have our home still with minimal damage, so even though we're hanging out in the living room sitting in lawn chairs, I feel blessed. Thanks again for what you do.

Sounds like at the end, he got a text message or something. That just shows how resilient some of that infrastructure is. The underground fiber optic lines are still good, and the cell towers' (or on a building) backup generators are running.

[@catsj1767]

Satellite - however Dish services are probably out for the time being because of the cloud cover- why I got rid of Dish

[@webluke]

@@catsj1767 Last year when I got Starlink, heavy downpours would cause problems. But I haven't experienced that in at least 6 months. But I haven't had much rain this summer either. I would also expect the closest downlink station to be in Florida, also covered by heavy rain, causing problems.

[@ed7519]

Never drive into floods. Law enforcement and rescue groups are starting to charge people who drive into areas that are dangerous when they know they're not supposed to. They wouldn't be able to save you now anyway at this time. Stay safe.

[@wawracing7300]

I don't disagree with this, however there's been reports that these are people who are trained storm chasers and or the law and emergency personnel that stayed to try to help.... Alot of the officers and EMTs didn't leave... Prayers for them all! TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN!!!!
