It is kinda like having your wife give you the nickname "The Hurricane"! You start out exciting and end in disaster! 🤣💥

[@Chrissy-Stormgal]

Lol Jeff Dunham quote 😂😂😂

[@WhoobieD]

I have a Stihl 250 in my garage that hasn't been ran in about a year. I paused your video, ran down to the garage and did exactly what you said and BAM....Fired right up!!!! AWESOME

[@susantompkins8810]

I can't speak for others, but you are so right, it's a very primal feeling and the knowing in the grand scheme of things with Mother Nature, you are NOT in control, so yes you can feel in awe of her raw power, but also fear it's wrath. I learned this at a very young age walking home after an emergency release from school as a level 3 tornado beared down on the neighborhood. I will never forget being handed a large book atlas to protect my head as I hurried home with baseball sized hail raining down. Trees and large debris flew mostly on the opposite side of the road. Since my experience, I am a storm chasing enthusiast, but also absolutely have great respect for Mother Nature's furry for sure.

[@sheblyne]

This Canadian girl loves a good storm. Give me thunder and lightening and lots of rain. Of course, couldn't be Canadian and not love a good blizzard too. Love heavy snow!

[@donnamiller8780]

Me too. As long as I'm hunkered down, like Steve, and not having to drive through it.

[@patirussell8353]

I live in Charleston, SC. Hugo washed my house away. It left me someone else's house on my property. I know that you will be safe, as you have taught us to be. I know that you will keep Lone Wolf Mountain safe. Keep the coffee coming tonight. Praying for you and your family. Honor and Strength to you.

[@faithrada]

I remember driving down I-95 just after the storm. It was staggering to take in all the damage. We could not even tell where we were since all the highway signed were down. Pretty sobering when you see it first hand. Hope all have power back ... hopefully this will at least help areas with drought.

[@TooTall_hikes]

I remember Hugo. Ripped threw our area and destroyed everything in its path

[@jordanb8578]

Was it at least a nicer house?

[@rbaileyrb]

I live in Europe and couldn't imagine such a thing, so I am so sorry you went through something that devastating. I hope you have managed to rebuild and come out of the experience stronger. Sending love to our cousins across the pond dealing with this current set of life changing weather

[@kareng3847]

Yeah those of us who live in the Carolinas will always remember Hugo none of us expected it to do what it did. I was in Charlotte North Carolina when the eye of Hugo went over and wiped out my neighborhood. By the grace of God our house was spared and my dad's house was spared. But we were without power for almost 3 weeks. But we were tough and we knew how to make it and survive and we did and we've got some of the greatest lineman out there. But it teaches you to never assume that every hurricane or storm is going to be the same because you just never know. My heart goes out to everyone who's recovering and rebuilding from hurricane Ian. May God be with you and bless you all.

[@davidneal6920]

Something awesome about being in a camp and hearing rain on nylon - tent keeping you dry etc

[@boydman68]

I wondered why you weren’t at the cabin for 32 minutes. Thanks for putting that in there. I moved to NE Georgia in 2004 and sat through the remnants of Frances, Ivan, and Jean. More rain than I ever want to see again but I had the luxury of my apartment building and being on the second floor.

[@FrednDeeDee]

We spent months prepping for hurricane season and for us it paid off. Food, Water, Clothing, and Shelter at the ready yet if we were told to evacuate, we would have and were prepared to do that as well. Ian circled out around our neck of the woods here in Florida, so we were missed except for 40mph winds and rain. We will not mess with a hurricane and will never become complacent.

[@bettyhudson979]

Smart of you

[@susankerr9521]

Here's another spotter checking in. Glad to see you got through Ian with few problems. That was a monster of a storm.

[@BIGAL1973]

Dude do you ever find the noise of the rain on camp hypnotic it sends me to sleep 💤

[@StormyJP]

I'm a spotter for the NWS St. Louis. Ian was a monster. Will take a long time for recovery but extended prayers to FL and all affected. Glad you and your fam are ok. Awesome excursion during Ian.

the sound of that rain was awesome, especially through my headphones

[@cristinasperandio503]

We live in central florida. Ian literally went right under us. Wind gusts of 80 mlh. Rain and flooding. Lots of people still being found. Now it's clean up and repair.

[@brendablackington8299]

Oh man, I would love to be out there!! Bring it on!! As long as it doesn't get too windy, I would be a happy camper!!

[@susanhowell2176]

Sitting here watching your episode of hurricane Ian. I lived in Cape Coral and we were in the eye wall with 155mph winds. We are blessed to have a whole house generator and the only convenience we didnt have was running water. We were prepared with 12 cases and 12 gallon jugs. We flushed the comodes with pool water. I moved from Florida the next week. I went back in February, four and a half months after. I cried when we went to Ft Myers Beach because the devastation is still in residence. It will take years and years to rebuild. Not to mention the loss of lives. John 10:10 says the thief (the devil) came to steel, and to kill, and to destroy. A truer ststement has never been said.

[@sandral2178]

Hi Luke, great video, I’m look forward to the snow videos when the time comes, my favorites are the videos you and Susie both bring us! Love watching your videos from West Virginia!

[@balthazarquinn]

I love the amount of information and clarification you put in your videos. When you first said “I’m going to save Lone Wolf Mountain from the hurricane.” I thought ‘it’s a mountain! It doesn’t need saving.’ Then you explained that the roads can be washed out. Trees can fall down. Etc. Also, I really like your calm demeanour. Nothing (or very little) fazes you. You just… get on with it. You’re an inspiration. 👍 Thanks for yet another great video.

[@randomichannel]

Had to google is there really something actually called "lone wolf mountain" and there actually was in Canada! Did not find any mention on Carolina tho', so idk.

[@lindaretherford1175]

So why was it so important for you to be at the lone wolf mountain instead of at home with your wife and your father there to take care of things instead of going to your site on the Mt. Later and clean up then instead of now during the storm?? I'm confused??

[@loispotter2097]

Luke you're always calm, cool and collected in every situation. Even if you're concerned you don't show it. Miami, was spared this time unlike when Erma/ Maria came through. Very sad to see the devastation Ian left behind. Glad you and your family were safe. Blessings and Guidance always. I'm in bed , enjoying the sound of rain on the tarps.

[@Cue881]

Very glad to see that you dodged the bullet on this one! I did too, in Land O Lakes, Fl. Funny how a couple of inches on a map can make such a difference in so many lives. We can never underestimate being prepared. Better to prepare a hundred times, then to not be prepared once. Glad you are all safe and sound and looking forward to future videos. Strength and honor.

[@corinnerenshaw3621]

So glad things were ok ! Hopefully your dad and family are good, too.:)

[@ogbean82]

1pm ET I'm listening to the rain. It's now 6pm ET and I've just woken up! Thanks for the killer nap!

[@tompinnef6331]

Glad to see you are a weather spotter also. I've been one since first getting my drivers license. If I remember right - this next year will be my 50th year of spotting for the NWS. Glad the storm wasn't too bad for your area. Take care - Be safe and always God Bless

Congratulations 🎊 on your 50th year of storm spotting! I'm going on my 13th year with the nws being a storm spotter next year will be my 14th year.

Just learned about NWS spotters because of this video. And thank you for your service!! I would love to do something like this, and my oldest when in elementary school loved watching the Weatherr Channel's tropical update, I'll talk to him about this, let's see how it goes. I took my family, husband & dog also, camping for the 1st time together in April. I feel that I'll have to take the lead in this case as well.

We were in the eye..(Fort Myers) still in recovery and for a long long time. This was devastating; physically, mentally and to the area.

[@michaelmeadows5142]

I live here in Fort Myers, and yes, we were impacted catastrophically. I know a lot of people stayed home due to an unforseen turn from Ian, death and destruction followed. We were lucky enough to live thru it, with less than a mile away where buildings were flattened. Being a man (and being stupid), I stepped out in the middle of the hurricane to assess and was not terribly surprised to see what I saw damage wise, expecting to see downed trees, siding, roofing, vehicles, etc., just destroyed. I'd heard later on there was a man who lived at the beach, did not evacuate, and was found 90 miles Inland... drowned. I haven't found any further info about it, but as human beings, we all can be dumbed down during trying times as these, so I'm not surprised to see and hear the stories coming out after this hurricane. Be safe, strong, and honorable y'all. We're heading into some bad times.

[@allenscullymooney3459]

Hi Luke, this is the first comment I think I've ever left anyone. I really enjoy your videos new and old. You have a great demeanour about you that just screams, chill out for 30 or 40 mins and reset your clock. It's absolutely brilliant. But my god you do tend to over do your content titles. I live in Ireland where its always raining. That's what you got was some rain. I didn't see a fight to save loan wolf mountain. I seen some rain that the area could clearly handle. It's very off putting. And not just this video but over the last 6 months it's been in some cases farcical. As I said I love the content, your videos. Wouldn't change a thing bar the titles. Ease up a touch. You don't need shock and awe to get a following. You have it. Don't loose it.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Awesome save, Luke! I love riding out hurricanes. My wife and I sat away from the beach during Hurricane Iniki when it skirted Maui and hit Kauai directly. We watched idiots go out on their surf boards. The fireman pleaded with the guys not to go out but finally needed the police to order them onto shore. The hurricane actually destroyed several beaches on the south shoreline.

How cool! I didn't know you used to live in Fort Myers! I made it through the storm with no damage to house except my well water system pipes. My pressure tank was broken off and carried over to my neighbor's house. We had over 4 feet of flooding, and it was impassible on the road for 3 days. I and my cat Kayaked in from shelter I took when they said my zone was called for evac. I just got running water yesterday. It took a week to get power. I live inland but along a tributary of a major river. Storm surge was 14.5 feet, and 12" of rain. It was kinder to us here than Irma was, but neighbor still got flooded! Downed trees but none on my house!

[@Mart687]

It's nice to see someone use the chain break the right way. I worked for a company specializing in tree maintenance, tree climbing and removal of difficult trees. A bunch of wild cowboys but one thing they took very seriously. Safety cause it's a very dangerous job and you can't afford to get sloppy. Working with big powerful chainsaws you need to be on top of the game. And the chain break is your most important safety. Sharpen the chain and top off fluids after work. So it's ready to go if needed. Chain break on, start it, break off, rev up till it starts warming up and revs up high. Break on. Break off and start sawing. Break on if you walk with it, break off and saw, break on. The correct way to use it. So much people get sloppy with the break in video's. Even firefighters. Btw there's a simple way to fully test a chain saw. Break on, start, break off, rev, tilt the blade up 180 degrees vertical, down 180 degrees. Horizontal tilt sideways on both sides. If it looses power during this testing, don't use it and have it serviced.

The storm wasn't bad once it got to what you refer to as Lone Wolf Mountain. I was born and raised within 30 mile of there. It wasn't too bad, but hey, might as well sit up on the side of the mountain and watch it rain. Good times...

[@sherw7635]

.. complete with dramatic music... 😄.

[@bushwackerblaster]

Another great video Luke! Love the synthwave music in the opening. I always enjoy that type of music pick with your videos, epic! God bless those in Florida.🙏🏻

[@annettehudson3980]

Thanks for the info on the chain saw. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL HAVE A BLESSED DAY😇🙏❤️

[@navyeagle113]

I was flown into Houston on emergency leave right before Hurricane Ike hit here in 2008 and also got slammed by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. 2 of the most costliest hurricanes to have hit the US. Luke, glad y'all faired well there!

[@michaelhoskins832]

Glad to see you're ok,Luke.

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

Oh my God. You said something about being a weather spotter? This is amazing. Holy moly. Thank you thank you thank you Luke for this info!!! I am going to find out everything I can. Weather is one of my passions and that's why I adore your channel. You are such the weather updater, like I can't. I cannot tell you how excited I am about this. Thank you Luke!!🙏🏼

Experienced my first Hurricane in 1968 while standing my first Guard Duty at Parris Island. Hurricane Gladys made landfall during my shift.. I saw so many things flying by from the Housing just west of my Barracks as I stood in a Brick surrounded stairway.. Something you might look into. I recently purchased a Stihl Battery operated 16 inch Saw and use it to clear my section of a National Hiking Trail of downed trees and just used it to clear a 40 Ft. Pine from my neighbors driveway from the Winds from this same storm. We got little Rain here but lots of Wind.. Le Tigris has just put a Winter Tent on Amazon with a room to the side for a Stove... I wish you would test it... Your just having just to much fun..

I was in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 when it hit Houston flood waters were horrific leaving behind 40 inches of water. She was the first storm ever to have her name retired that wasn’t a Hurricane. She just sat over us for days then slowly drifted out into the Gulf again before strengthening and returning to dump even more water. She and Ian have a lot in common by affecting so many states. My grandmother house in Ohio flooded because of Allison’s long reaching affect in an area that had never see. A flood in its History. Then Hurricane Ike hit in 2008 nearly destroying Galveston Island. I was without power for 44 days in 100 + heat. I still felt blessed when I drove down towards areas that were hit harder. I’m so glad you and yours were safe and continue to pray for those hit with devastation in Florida.

Background music straight from the 80's! Keep on storming... 👍🏻☔👍🏻

[@jglow2]

I’m in my mobile home in Bonita Springs Fl. No damage no flooding but we were lucky. Evacuated to Clearmont for four days. about 60 neighbors lost windows roofs, carports which had not been reinforced. 140 Mph windows, 1/2 steel cable helps. Also about 5 miles from beach.

[@Chrissy-Stormgal]

I absolutely love storms but without the destruction!! ❤❤❤ Love all your videos Luke!! Keep up the great work!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@rickpriore9526]

Luke, that storm was a monster. i live in Florida about 50 miles north of where it made landfall

[@CLSearles]

Glad that you and your family are safe from the hurricane 🌀 🙏🏽 ❤️ 🙌🏾 ⛈️🌬🏕🥃🥃🥃💪🏾💪🏾👏🏽👏🏽👍👍

[@kantoboy8447]

Thank you for showing how to start the chainsaw properly, I just recently bought a STIHL MS 391 25 in. 64.1 cc, and I haven’t started it yet, I will try to start it the way you said but without the throwing motion 😜😁😬

[@sawdustmaker49]

Luke, watching you at 5:30 A.M. couldn't sleep. i sure do like your stuff.

[@lisabradley3541]

I'm in the coastal NC area and we received wind gust up to 65mph. Lots and lots of rain. I slept well when the storm did not progress. We lost electricity for about 30min. Thank goodness for the cool weather. We did not have to suffer. We prayed for our families down in Florida and South Carolina. We were lucky not to have but this one storm this year. I pray that we have an easy winter.

[@thoughtfuloutrage5563]

Another great video, Luke! 👍 As usual, your explanation of the importance of clear roadside ditches to keep the road from flooding was explained in concise and easily understandable terms. However, if I might humbly make a suggestion: have you considered roadside level spreaders? In my experience, it is more often water velocity than volume that does the damage. And the deeper the water is in the ditch the higher the velocity gets, leading to accelerated erosion and pollution of surface water. The US Forest Service and your state DEP have simple details on how to construct them. They are designed to take water flowing down the hill along the edge of the road and divert it across the slope, following the contour lines. They are no more difficult to construct than a roadside parallel ditch, but provide water velocity reduction and return the water to its original sheet flow, with greatly reduced velocity. From what I've seen from your other videos, I'm sure you've heard of these things before, but I'm just offering this to other viewers who might be planning to put a road through their property, and are looking for an easy and efficient way to manage drainage without using culverts.

[@MrLangDog]

Cheers from Jax, FL. We were spared as well, mostly. I did have to spend $300 for a crew to come and clean all the debris that live oaks shed during a decent storm. No power out!!!!!

[@markthomas2436]

Awesome video, and good courage to get out there IN THAT.

[@geraldharkness8830]

glad you are all safe and well!

[@Bill_tyler]

Hell yea, if you so much as pull an inch after the burp on a Stihl , you’re flooded

[@bradleyriddle6730]

I discovered Stihl in the 80s none better. Dad had good saws especially a big boss of a saw David Bradley. That boy was heavy.

[@thomasstuart1825]

Thanks again for the video. Do be looking into getting an awning for your mountain camper rig... I think that would be well worth the investment. I'm glad to see you as an example of someone who protects and take care of what they have in their life.
