Another difference between bora wind and twisters or hurricanes is that bora is FREEZING.

[@thesupremekingdragonzarc7289]

Bura is CATABATIC WIND which is running downhill and more dangerous than ADIBATIC WINDS like hurricanes and tornadoes

[@milosicboris]

I love Bura! Predobro je bilo! Zivio sam 18g u Austriji a sad zivim u Splitu i necu nikada napustiti Dalmaciju!!!

[@thaares]

bura makes the air cleaner, hail bura

[@luciusthe]

And now you know why nothing grows on the SE side of the islands, if you ever wondered why there's only rocks :) But, no Bura - no pršut, as others pointed :) Although, this occasion was more to the extreme side than usual. Jugo would be another great thing to record, if you want something possibly even more dramatic (no winds like this, but more sea and heavy dark clouds, great drama scenes - if you like shooting nature at it's anger). Great shots & kudos to recorders that managed not to freeze their soul to the bone while taking this !

[@majajankovic3258]

jugo= scirocco

[@giorgioantonioninniriva633]

There aren't even rocks, it's just limestone

[@apsyrd36]

In America 80 mph wind is "natioal disaster". In Croatia Bora is "queen" of the winds. I think it's just a question of how to build a houses. If you live together with the nature, you know how....

[@lil_weasel219]

Yes , they build them from wood and stuff

[@derbigpr500]

PoETheeds So are you denying that 90% of houses in USA are built out of wood and dry walls? And like 100% of houses in Europe are built out of bricks or stone? Usually double walled and steel reinforced with almost 1 meter thick like in Croatia? So you're being a typical american then, ignorant and unwilling to accept you're bad at something, and you are horrible at building houses. We don't even build tool sheds as flimsy as you build your homes. Fact is, when a bit of wind blows in your country peoples homes are flattened to the ground and blown to pieces. Those same winds and stronger do nothing to houses in this video. And how the hell is saying that being racist? Are you even aware of what "racist" means? Or are you (again) acting like a typical american talking about things you know nothing about, which you're all experts at apparently? ALso...funny how americans are telling someone they're isolated from the real world...hahah...you are the definition of being isolated from the real world and being brainwashed and delusional about anything that happens outside of your country. It's kind of one of the strongest reputations americans have all over the world.

[@zex450]

Except that this is 130-150 mph, not 80 mph.

[@thesupremekingdragonzarc7289]

Sometimes Bura can blow over 185mph

[@jelenabilic8668]

in the 250 km/h bura, there were fires and accidents... and thats normal

[@PavleBalenovic]

The power of nature and the magnificent Velebit mountains that stand as the barrier on its way. Thanks for posting.

[@goranratnik728]

ona se na velebitu rađa i šiba ka moru

[@glasslinesmadhes]

Excellent photography live

[@mihaelcavric3520]

for USA this is disaster in croatia just a wind

[@prosperlenert]

+mihael cavric nisu citali vuk i tri prascica pa grade kuce od slame a u nas na moru svaka kuca od kamena pa je ti pomakni :D

[@arthurmorgan2906]

oh really? Do you have tornadoes, hurricanes, downbursts, microbursts? In Midwest and South they would have laughed at this comment. I love how some people exalts themselves..

[@MarcoKaschuba]

Hi Uncle Trevor, you're right. I have experienced f5 tornadoes and hurricanes (f.e. Katrina) in the US..., and the bora winds. The main difference between a hurricane and a bora is the gustiness of the wind and the size of the effected area. While bora (bura) winds are extremely gusty and the highest wind speeds are measured in the gusts..., the same wind speeds in hurricanes are measured in sustained winds with higher gusts, making a hurricane more dangerous than a bora wind (don't forget the extreme storm surge and rain fall in a hurricane). But wind gusts over 250 kph (155 mph) are possible with a bora. Because of the gustiness, a bora is an extremely dangerous and unpredictable local wind system.

[@arthurmorgan2906]

and marco is the author of this video so obviously he read it... and you are calling others stupid. How typical

[@majajankovic3258]

Read about bura than comment...how often are hurricanes?..once in a year in some areas...bura is constant wind that is blowing all year around.

[@AjkulaDrakula]

Amazing shots, well done!

[@Ballota]

Insane shots! Great work! :D

[@ivankamb76]

volim buru rodjena sam u Najlopsem gradu na svitu i volim njegovu buru volim moj Senj svim srcem iako sam daleko ali srce i dusa su mi u njemu.To je moj lipi SENJ

[@Iwan2007]

I've been sitting in a tent this year when that wind occured. Was lasting for 3 days

[@tomislavvekic969]

This is normal wind in Croatia Dont make panic

[@unrefolo]

Bel video complimenti!!!

[@leeallen8840]

More of this please. Brilliant

[@willi19391]

1:00 steel reinforced concrete houses. Not a single fvck is given!

[@SVCUBA]

Hello Marco! can you tell me please if you have any footage of the other side of the islands or know of anyone who has filmed the "badly hit side" and the leeward side? Thanks a lot for your input

[@mayrodriguez9319]

Thanks for posting this video!!! I live in Cabo San lucas Mexico on the very tip of the baja Peninsula, and yes we only have this wids and lots of rain if a Hurricane hit us !!! take care and share the knowledge in building houses...

[@dagomarquez3748]

May Rodriguez I would like to go to Cabo someday.

[@BalcanChick]

Houses here are rock solid, we can endure bura, jugo and much more. Bura can get up to 210 kmph. And it's just a common wind.

[@windysilkgirl]

Surprised women weren’t out shopping and walking around in that. Life doesn’t seem to slow down over there for weather like here in the US !

[@drumMaleni]

Dobar video!

[@gabrielafilipovic440]

USA : Katastrophe in croatia :just a Wind 👍

[@biohazard512]

Stone vs plywood houses

[@jehanderu1507]

It's blowing really hard, it's very dangerous. For me, with my child weight, with wind of this strength, I should be tied so as not to get blown away by the wind.

[@Microwave89]

Hi Marco! Have you really been there? Wow!! Greets Microwave89

[@Alal_Osos]

around 20 beaufort? :P

[@blancagarcia5542]

It it looks awesome

[@Blaulicht500]

Sehr Beeindruckend. Wowwww.

[@stipe3124]

Epic Bura !! .. On Hurricane scale this would be what category ?

[@Kilroy1324]

Most are either a 4 or a 5 on the saffir-simpson scale.

[@lil_weasel219]

12+ on Beaufort scale. This one would be equivalent to a cathegory 5 major hurricane if it was measured by a professional almost certainly, here it wasn't so despite this man having measured 302 kmh or 189 mph, it's not an official measurement .The speed of Storms such as this one (+300 kmh) are too great to be measured by devices as they generally break. There were however ones which didn't break, such as this one and the one which recorded the speed of 307 kmh in 2003 between Sveti Rok tunnel and Maslenica. But as the device was not designed for such speeds (300 kmh+) the official record (the one that could be measured completely accurately)is held to be the one measured at 248 kmh near the Maslenica Bridge.

[@meatpie29]

Same storms still continues over Bulgaria almost four days later

[@navisolim]

khm this is not a "storm" this is normal winter in Dalmatia we love it because it cleans the air the mostly it comes for few days every now and then...the greater the number of days with Bura are the better the summer will be and the lower the number of mosquitoes will be :)

[@lovromartic5820]

+limso cro Zaboravio si Senj, a zna se kakva je bura u Senju, 200-250 dana u godini puse bura......Senj nije Dalmacia.

[@navisolim]

Lovro Martić jbg daleko je senj od mene ;)

[@monicalondono-clayton1186]

I'm thinking about doing a documentary about the bura and how some people go a little crazy... any info about the wind will be super welcomed.

[@zikovsnorton]

You think jugo,that is different wind

[@gmale385]

This makes good prosciutto... :)

I'm here after reading about the Battle of Frigidus or the Frigid River, between Theodosius and Eugenius in September of 394.

[@petarstanin8978]

😂😂

[@IstrametTV]

Bravo! :D

[@miha_0476]

Also Category 5

[@alexjeremic9580]

I agree

[@synonymous8454]

is there any explanation for the wind?

[@YachtcharterDelfin]

yes weather ! but to explain Bora i would need to write 3 sites ...so i will not do it :)

[@lil_weasel219]

Winds over 100 kmh are a regular occurence on the Croatian coast...it's a cyclone

[@anomalija6469]

Cold air comes from the north. It gets stuck when it hits the mountain and then it starts building up. When it reaches the top of the mountain it literally starts spilling down the mountain to the other side. That is Bura. And this mountain called Velebit is making border between continental and mediterranean climate. Sometimes on south side sun is shining and when you go trough the 6 km long tunnel on the other side the snow is falling.

[@pobromadafaka1483]

naša domaća bura

[@windysilkgirl]

Love to feel this! Imagine walking to work wearing silk clothes in this 🌬❤️

[@damjanavukelic7038]

ok so bura happens only by the sea side and it can go this crazy. its normally about 50-55kmh but it can go like this :¦

[@thesupremekingdragonzarc7289]

Bura is catabatic wind

[@ddeanb784]

2:43 the Power

[@bornacabrijan6338]

stravična bura i jako opasna.

[@miha_0476]

Its category 3

[@franzmarquez7589]

Relatable

[@Phrv199217]

My step mother lives near Zadar. She once told me that the Bora was blowing so hard, it sanded off the paint from a car.

[@Roberta-wu7bd]

yeah I live in Zadar too, the bura is the most extreme near Knin and thereby Zadar because wind crashes downhill the velebit and hits the nearest parts

[@evavenera]

brave guys

[@mustafaomerovic4183]

Ova bura da je puhala u SAD-u bilo bi svasta. Sta ces kad ljudi vole graditi brzo i jevtino. Naravno to je cijena americkog sna

[@zuxxx1247]

Dražen Koprolčec dražen koprolčec u sridu :) samo relaksirano, poštovani sukomentatori su croats, croatians, kroate, croati .. uglavnom sve samo ne hrvati .. recimo ja radim u turizmu, svi gosti su mi stranci, i svi uče kod mene osnovne fraze na hrvatskom, sretni su i veseli te me obožavaju, kažu da im je jako drago naučiti nešto hrvatskog, kao što im je drago jesti i piti domaće, hrvatske specijalitete. no nažalost to cijenjeni sukomentatori ne shvaćaju, ne shvaćaju elementarnu činjenicu da ako se ne cijeniš sam, niti drugi te neće cijeniti, na nivou pojedinca pa do nivoa nacije. Elem, BURA je jedinstven vjetar, postoji samo na hrvatskoj strani jadrana te kao takav ima samo jedno ime: BURA. Amen..
