Hurricane HARVEY Smashes Rockport, Texas (2017)

[@TropmetStormChasing]

An amazing intercept, as always!!! Incredible footage of what will go down as one of the most infamous storms in U.S. history!

Tropmet | Storm Chasing Harvey could have been more Awesome 😎 if it was shot by your HD Camera

[@TravelsChases]

Wow. What a powerful video! Once again , you nailed it. Glad you were safe. I like how you don't add any music to your video and you try to remain quiet during the most extreme parts. Makes us feel like we are there , experiencing it alone!

[@iCyclone]

Thank you so much for saying that-- because that's exactly what I try to do. I want the storm to "speak for itself"-- meaning I try not to over-narrate, react too much, or add dramatic music. (I'll admit sometimes it's hard not to react in the moment!) Anyhoo, thank you for noticing my stylistic choices. Glad you liked it. :)

Hey Josh, I saw you on Worlds deadliest weather and have been in awe of your work since. I really liked the parts were you spoke as they were really informative and gave us a really deep insight into what happened. Thanks dude.

[@arcane3548]

Harvey was an example for the danger rapid intensification! A normal tropical storm into the Gulf can be more dangerous than a cat.5 far out of the ocean, if it has the right environment. Awesome footage as always. Thanks for your work and your first video since a long time!

[@Teal-Menace]

Harvey got pissed off at the stupid folks on Family Feud.

[@jonthegamerboy]

I remember Harvey like it was yesterday. Had to evacuate to Laredo, and we were lucky to come back to my house with only minor damage, but we lost power for a week. At the hotel we were at in Laredo, we were talking to a girl from Rockport just a few hours before landfall. Thinking of that still pains me to this day. The damage in Rockport, Port Aransas, Lamar, Holiday Beach, and Refugio was almost Katrina-like. Texas is a strong state and we’re lucky to have recovered quickly, people have said if Harvey hit any other state, the impact would have been much more devastating.

[@Midnight_Wave_1989]

I live in Corpus Christi which is about an hour north from rockport. We still got pretty intense winds but corpus was well prepared. Couldn’t say the same about rockport tho. I went with my church to rockport to help clean up damage for a man the church knew. Mobile homes flipped over and even destroyed completely, an apartment complex was completely leveled, you name it. By far one of the biggest storms ever. Almost 2 years ago already. Boy time flies.

[@blackstar_painstar]

Bruh harvey was just like I'm alive and then practically died then came back to do this.

[@Anotherway04]

From looking at the radar loop and great video, Rockport was in the Very intense Northwest eyewall. Recently enhanced definition satellite loops have now identified smaller Very intense meso vortices rotating around the eye in intense hurricanes which probably accounts for the Cat. 4 damage.

[@MinecraftMike]

Great footage as always!
