#hurricanemichael2018 #hurricanemichael #loveFL
Hurricane Michael was the third-most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the United States in terms of pressure, behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Hurricane Camille of 1969, as well as the strongest storm in terms of maximum sustained wind speed to strike the contiguous United States since Andrew in 1992. In addition, it was the strongest storm on record in the Florida Panhandle, and was the fourth-strongest landfalling hurricane in the contiguous United States, in terms of wind speed.

I live in Blountstown and was there for this hurricane. The scariest experience of my life. Thanks for the video, I was wondering what all was happening outside during this. My family and I were in a house off of highway 20

[@K.J.Ray421]

So this is an off topic question, but what truck are you driving in the video? I can't tell what engine I'm hearing when you got stuck, but I assume it's a diesel? Just something I like to figure out when I'm bored, also do it with finding the make/model of de=badged cars in videos or images. 🙃

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

It's a gas v6 almost straight piped no I didnt use cherry bombs it's got two cats and a v8 resonator . Look on my playlists for danger or storm chase for hurricane Matthew its straight piped. I dont want to disclose the truck for reasons. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@K.J.Ray421]

Damn, and I was gonna say if it's not a diesel it must be a V6 gas. I love the sound of certain 6 cylinder engines, especially the straight 6 engines from Nissan or the V6 Audi engines.

[@Flammable281]

Terry Jones Man that stinks. I lived outside Havana Florida back when Kate came through. We were without power for two weeks, I can’t imagine five!

[@deepwaterescue4u]

I found out its cheaper to buy power than make i think it was just under 1500 fuel cost in the 5 weeks

[@Flammable281]

Terry Jones Ouch!!! The summer just before Michael hit we bought a new Generac portable generator and had one of those devices installed on our electric meter by Talquin Electric where you can hook up a portable generator and power the house thru the existing wiring. We thought all set for the power outage and then never lost power lol.

It was fascinating to watch the town get ripped to pieces, but that was an absurdly dangerous situation to be in. Pieces of roofs, signs, awnings, traffic lights, wires, poles, branches, entire trees - any one of these hitting this vehicle could've killed the driver instantly.

HELLO!!!! Here I am, checking out your videos!!! I’m only a couple of minutes into this but wow. Just wow. So glad you are okay, and I’m sorry you all had to go through this. I’m sure this video will answer the question I just asked you on my channel. Can I ask you a serious question? Do you believe that this Hurricane was only a Cat 1 with only 86 mph winds, TOPS? And was only 23 miles wide? Omw, you video is still playing as I’m typing this...the sounds...reminds me of Hurricane Andrew, I was almost 9 and our house was destroyed in Homestead Florida. Gone. I usually don’t cuss but 86 mph winds my ass.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

thanks for watching not even close i was in tropical storm weather in Perry Fl at 10am 150 miles from land fall and this Blountstown is 49 miles from landfall area

[@housewifeuntilheaven1593]

NatureRecycleFlorida That’s what I thought you’d say! I have been so annoyed at people that are saying this was a CAT 1, and only 23 miles wide with the hurricane force winds, and that it wasn’t a Hurricane at all, but a cyclone. What?! Your videos show what it was truly like, regardless of someone’s ability (or inability) to read a buoy signal, accurately, who is sitting at a computer thousands of miles away. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the channel I am referring to but as I see more and more footage of what you all went through down there, it just solidifies how WRONG that channel is and all of its supporters, who will argue with those of us who were affected (not nearly as bad as you guys), but still had damage nonetheless, that what we were seeing was green screens and cgi. Like really?! Ugh, anyways, thanks for this footage. I’m going to watch as many of your videos as I can❤️

"I was Sneads"? How were you "Sneads"? Are you saying you were the city of Sneads, or was your name previously Sneads? Judging from the "pd" in your user, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by your inability to form a single grammatically correct sentence. Additionally, assuming "pd" is an acronym for police department, are there any good doughnut shops in Sneads? Lastly, is there anywhere in Sneads, where I can get some really great bacon?

[@richardcline1337]

Michael was different than most in that it, THANKFULLY!, did not come across at a slow pace but was in and out very quickly. Had it slowed down, most of NW Florida would have been flattened. I stayed and it was strangely quiet compared to what I was expecting. The eye of the storm is the most dangerous as you are getting hit with heavy winds and rain from one direction, then everything stops only to start coming at you from the opposite direction. Add a few tornadoes and it is very dangerous. I had an angel sitting on my roof and my house was structurally sound but my outbuildings were blown to bits. Huge Oak trees ripped out of the ground like twigs ( I lost fourteen in my yard) and for miles and miles all you could see were pine trees snapped in half.

[@mattbasford6299]

You were pretty close to the eye wall in Blountstown.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

[@csxtrain8666]

Nick Yates cool thanks for watching

Hay que limpiar el vidrio del vehículo por el interior. Se ve mal.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

it was a mixture of extreme humidity debris/water blasted on the windshield . thanks for watching

[@Vector_Ze]

I fully understand your wanting to document this storm. You were taking great risk in doing what you did, even if you didn't realize that. A question about your handle; do you want nature to 'recycle Florida'? Sounds like a plan to me. Tourist development certainly has screwed our state up. Wow, you still had power at 16:00 ...Gulf Power cut our power almost two hours before the strong winds hit.

[@remmymills3453]

Really eerie and weird. Where are all of the emergency vehicles? How about any other human or another car? Was the whole town evacuated or was this from a horror movie?

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

remmy mills thanks for watching every one mostly were in shelters or sheltered in place. also emergency vehicle's were sheltered in the garages.

[@rawwbnoles4787]

"Where are all the emergency vehicles? Parked somewhere, right where they should be. Every year in Florida leading up to hurricane season, you're told, at length, to prepare your evacuation routes. When storms get to a certain point you're told, at length, you have until X time to get the fuck out. After X time, you're own your own. Don't call 911. They're not coming for you.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

@@rawwbnoles4787 and tall vehicles can topple on their sides too in those winds

[@victorgalvanmolina8044]
