We have a place on Marco Island... Got absolutely nailed head on by this particular hurricane. Thankfully after the legendary hurricane Andrew, the insurance company made us get hurricane proof windows/glass sliding doors. They cost a ton, which sucked, but the Feckin glas is ridiculously thick, it's basically bulletproof glass so you can imagine... But all the frames are also reinforced and the tracks for the sliding doors could probably double as train tracks. Lol. All In all, glad we had though, because we suffered no serious damage of any kind. Those bunker ass windows/doors are really impressive.

[@CinnamonSpiceTarot]

As a Naples resident that also stayed for the storm, I was by the Naples Airport. I was also able to watch the storm, and I thought your footage was absolutely amazing and very similar to what I was also seeing. It did also seem like we only got a half cane with the eye. Because at one point I knew we were in the eye but I was expecting another episode of the hurricane force winds. And it didn't seem like we got it. Naples got very lucky because it could have been worse.

[@rootsmanuva82]

Excellent footage and great location. I imagine you chose this spot because the NHC forecast track had IRMA tracking just a few miles west of Naples. As we all know IRMA took a slight jog to the east which had huge implications for Naples, Fort Myers and Tampa (less intense western eyewall, peak winds out of the ENE instead of South or SSW and lower storm surge). If IRMA took this track damage could've been much worse.

[@iCyclone]

Hey, thanks, Ian! :) I was trying to get in the eye. Up until a few hours before landfall, I thought it was going to be much further up the coast-- the Euro computer model was pointing that way-- and I was getting ready to drive to Sarasota. But then I could see on radar that the storm was moving due N basically, and I didn't need to move. The exact center passed right over Naples, so we got more than the weaker W side. That having been said, I agree with you, winds and-- more importantly-- surge could have been a bit worse if the center had stayed just a little further W.

[@jeroidpatterson2734]

Ian Clancy

[@dani.215]

Honestly, the surge maps that were out for Collier were terrifying, and I'm "only" in a 1-3 ft surge zone, worst case scenario. When you see things like 12-15 ft surge forecast and you know that there are people who live in those areas, it's frightening. The county opened up a school that was in that surge zone as a shelter (Lely) and then immediately had to start moving those folks. When we saw the water getting pulled out of Naples Bay (down on Venetian Village; I think I had seen video of you being there), we were gobsmacked. I had heard stories of that happening when Donna had struck on *the same exact day* in 1960, but seeing it happen in real time was astonishing.

[@iCyclone]

Thank you, Saar! Yeah, it has lost *some* strength but was still an intense hurricane when it arrived in Florida.

[@Crept14]

It was basicly a tropical storm by the time it got to western North Carolina.

[@filthykallahan6399]

I think the underrated this storm. We had a near direct hit with a cat 3 Hurricane Wilma and Irma was way worse, even though they said it was only at 115 mph sustained when it made landfall on Marco. What's even crazier is that Naples Airport (about a 1/4 mile from my house) is where the highest wind gust was recorded (142 mph). How is it that it supposedly weakened once it hit Marco, yet Marco didn't get the highest winds? I personally think it was a cat 4. Like I said, Wilma had higher sustained winds at landfall and was nothing compared to what I experienced in Irma. And I was driving thru the worst part of Wilma.

[@garrett7814]

Watching this video still gives me the chills, I was watching the storm come in, losing power because the winds were getting really powerful. Thankfully my weather station console had batteries working, the winds of the time the power went out was around 26 MPH, which would have been 60-80 MPH, our house is surrounded by many trees which blocks the weather station, the weather station was pretty high up anyways. Thankfully the station didn't fall over but the winds were high, if there was no trees the winds would have been higher than 55 MPH, it would have been 100 MPH and my weather station would have fallen and broke, more damage, more work. Looking at the map of Irma, the center of low pressure went over my street and my house. I was in the eye of the storm, the floods were incredible the eye was incredible, the skies were getting brighter. I was especially surprised that the back side wasn't bad. Thanks for another great video Josh. I hope to chase hurricanes like you do in the future when I'm actually an adult and can do whatever I want, haha. Garrett

Irma was a very powerful storm. Was living in Lehigh acres at this time. It was very scary. The noise from the wind was undiscribable. So loud , had to cover my ears. Mother nature is so powerful. The after math is horrible. Had no power for almost 2 weeks. Gas for your cars was scarce. Food and water the same way. Luckily our home was not damaged. Many people lost their roofs and their homes. Never want to go through anything like that again. But that's part of living in Florida. You can take it or leave it. We decided to leave it. Florida is a beautiful state.

[@vladtepes7013]

Bad as it is, try sitting in it when it's a category 5, like when it hit the Caribbean. When hurricanes hit the US, they are much weaker, and you have help coming from the rest of the country immediately. In the Caribbean, you are on your own for a few weeks until the harbor and airport are remotely usable again...

@Vlad Țepeș Not all the time would it be weak......I mean, Look at Hurricane Katrina & Hurricane Sandy.....The current hurricane, Hurricane Dorian is expected to blow roofs off and flood some areas in the State of Florida, Half of the entire eastcoast of the United States is in deepshit trouble as it's going to SLAM us as a Category 4 Hurricane; Nearly a Category 5 hurricane. Hurricane Dorian should be weakening if America is in a much hurricane weakening ally, Instead, Dorian is only getting much more stronger as it pushes to the United States in Florida.

I know Highlands got the worst side of Irma besides Naples. Thank you for the footage now I know how bad this storm was lol. I remember Charley like it was yesterday I was 15 for that storm and I actually fainted because our sliders were bowing in and out and I knew if they had broke then my family and I would have been done.

Michelle C could’ve been much worse. THANKS CUBA! 😅 It was pretty gnarly in naples/Marco Island.

[@mignonalverson655]

I stayed home during Irma. I live on Lake Okeechobee. It was VERY scary.

[@tvold9204]

You missed the eyewall but I bet it was still pretty intense with hurricane force winds (probably cat 1)

[@mignonalverson655]

@@tvold9204 Cat 1/2. I remember Irma covered the entire state of Florida plus some. It was scary. I have moved to NC. I’m happy too.

It is amazing how adapted the palm trees are to these storms because everything could be destroyed but the palms still remain and look like nothing happened!

[@tvold9204]

Well they do get pretty torn up but nevertheless they persevere and although the leaves come out kind of weird for a few months they usually look fine within a year.

i live in georgia and we got a bit of this hurricane when it came up here. by then it was just a tropical storm but man it was still so intense. lightning hit the ground in front of my house. scary shit.

[@tvold9204]

[@herusaleron6793]

@@tvold9204 ok? it was still a really awful flood and storm up here.

My cousin was in St Maarten when Irma hit. Got the full power. He’s alright he just had cuts and bruises but the company didn’t make it. He’s a skipper on the yacht that goes around the Caribbean

Nice job documenting it bro that was wicked 💨💨💨😨

[@iCyclone]

Hey, thanks, man! Appreciate it.

[@Toe-knee]

I lived on isles of capri at the time. I lost everything. Stayed at a hotel a few miles inland during the storm. I watch this s*** to desensitize myself. The storm itself was scary, but the week following to try to help was awful there. I do believe watching this is therapeutic for me, especially after going through the memorial day tornadoes in Dayton, OH. Allows me to process trauma of weather on my own terms.

[@SRN42069]

i was in Hurricane IRMA and i never even knew at first i was sleeping and then out of nowhere a tree smash the roof nothing broek but i woke up and look at the window and it was blowing i looked on the radar and stuff and it was Hurricane IRMA i was like omg

[@DrewskiTheLegend]

super gamer no you weren’t. You would have some sort of warning before a hurricane struck. Why lie about it?

[@baconmaster334]

True,You would of knew about hurricane irma hitting you,you are lying

[@Austin-do8se]

I don't believe you for 2 reasons: 1: How the shit do you sleep through a hurricane? 2: You would have a warning before Irma hit.
