British Guy Experiences First Ever HURRICANE (Hurricane Milton)

[@ScottyM1959]

Adam, there's nothing wrong with being happy. You dodged a bullet but you can still feel remorse for people not as lucky as you are and pray for their recovery. I'm glad you and your family are all okay.

[@bubblesculptor]

Watching the hurricane forecast map updates are always crazy. stressful when it's aimed at you, very relieved when it aims elsewhere. but you always know that 'elsewhere' means someone else gets it!

[@Knightowl1980]

It’s part of living in FL. U want it to go anywhere but where u are. My sister who lives in SW FL where it hit was staying but at the last moment she got scared and evacuated to my place in Orlando. We were watching the news and I was rooting for it to go south and she was rooting for it to go north knowing her place would be destroyed (it wasn’t thankfully) if it didn’t but would put my place in jeopardy. But we are fortunate in Orlando that really the most we deal with usually is cat 2

You got to experience something few people in the UK ever will. Category 1 is a good experience. You never want to go thru what hit the coast.

[@embertheelder]

I mean... in 1703 there was a large extratropical storm that hit the South of England. It can happen over there if the weather takes a wild turn. They may as well know what's up =p

[@JohnnaGrl1]

While it was horrible on the coast, I can say with 100% certainty, the experience of any hurricane (regardless of the category) is never a good experience. A Cat 1 did tens of thousands of dollars of damage to my home and cost me over eight thousand dollars of lost work.

[@ThaBeatConductor]

@@JohnnaGrl1 Yea, what category the storm is isn't a definite indicator for how damaging the storm will be. There are many other factors that come into play.

[@JohnnaGrl1]

@@ThaBeatConductor100%. Sometimes, I think we watch things with this morbid curiosity. I’ve seen a few comments, here, where I just wanted to say my experience. A hurricane is never a “good experience”. I get what people are saying. It could have been a lot worse. But, people have died in both Helene and Milton. And, I cannot describe how scary my experiences have been. When Irma hit, it was one of the most scariest things I’ve ever gone through. And, then, to have the months of repairs and the financial losses. Yet, I’m thankful it wasn’t worse.

[@jimmahr.4665]

That one was cat 3, it made it all the way through to Atlantic before dropping lower. Cat 3 is not bad at all, 4 is bad, 5 is better find a bunker. Rare to be in the eye, and Adam definitely was in the eye.

Thank you Kate!

[@jessm89]

It didn't really occur to me that you'd have no idea where the tornadoes were in relation to you until this video. When the weather person said, "the tornado is crossing over 75", it hit me that you might not know where 75 is. There were over 100 tornado warnings that day, so you got a hurricane and tornadoes in one trip. Welcome to America lol. Glad you had the extra drinks. ;)

[@rachljperdew]

I live in Ga so idk the roads down there but I’m so bad at road names, plus I live on the border of two counties so I usually just hide in our closet under the stairs when there’s tornado watches🤣😅

[@jeanine6328]

Reminds me of being in Ohio for job training. Everyone else went home for the weekend and the news started tornado alerts and warnings. They named the country and I had no clue what county I was in. And it was pre internet so I couldn’t just look it up. Luckily I can read a map and figured out I was in said country. Never had one where I was, just lots of wind. I remember thinking back to documentaries to for what I was supposed to do.

[@Amo-v27]

Slight correction, there were ~125 tornado warnings, but a warning doesn't mean there actually was a tornado. Last I saw it was 34 confirmed tornadoes.

[@KTKacer]

Yeah, 75 to 90 mph winds are cake, we get that at least once or twice every 5 years or so where I am WAY inland in Ohio.

[@pigs18]

Yeah, this was originally forecasted to be a Category 3 (110-130mph) when it hit Orlando. Thankfully it started losing power as soon as it made landfall.

[@turcj]

Because of Milton, I'm having my roof replaced while I watch this. The roof didn't come off, but most of the shingles did.

[@jlaurelc]

In New England there is something called the French Toast Alert System for blizzards because people stock up on bread, milk, and eggs before a storm - look it up, it's hilarious. But you'll also find a lot of beer and wine in those carts. We approve of your disaster readiness shopping! 😉

[@cncr2962]

😂 Every time like they didn’t know Winter ❄️ was coming 😂

[@Volyren]

In the south, it occurs the second someone sees 1 snowflake. Eggs, milk, bread. But I got slammed by the first hurricane, in SC. No power for 11 days. My 'french toast' list has changed. Beef jerky, chips, muffins, tuna salad kits... anything that doesn't require refridgeration or heating. I went 4 days without any food, because I had nothing once my wounded Waffle House ran out of gas for their grill. Threw out 300$ worth of spoiled food. Never doing that again.

[@andromedaspark2241]

Thank goodness you knew to get more wine. I was genuinely concerned for a moment. If there ever was a time you'd want an extra glass, it's stuck in a hotel in a gnarly storm.

[@JonniPants]

I am a west coast girl, born and raised. When I got stationed in North Carolina back in the day, right on the coast, I was kind of excited when the first hurricane was coming. I'd only ever experienced earthquakes, and this was before the the internet was everywhere, so I didn't know how bad hurricanes could be. It was super mild by the time it hit us and I was disappointed. Little did I know to be super grateful for that. 🤣 Glad you and yours were safe and out of the direct line of impact.

[@JohnnaGrl1]

As someone who has been through hurricanes, I can 100% say they’re scary. And, the resulting damage is not only financially devastating. It’s psychologically horrible.

[@Plasmastorm73]

As a Floridian for many years, it's okay to be thankful you and your stuff came out okay. And it's okay to feel badly for others who got creamed by these storms.

Orlando got nothing, Tampa Bay here no power for 7 days my tree is in my yard and I have some roof damage

[@31Mike]

I've been through a few hurricanes, tropical storms and Nor'easters. In the past (when I was younger, in my 20's and 30's), I'd generally enjoy them, as long as nobody is hurt or killed and damage is minimal and if those conditions are met, the main thing I hate about them is losing power for days at a time. Hurricane Isabel in 2003 (I think), knocked our power out for about 2 weeks if I recall correctly. But like I said, the main thing is that nobody is hurt or killed and damage is minimal.

Son you just witnessed a Category 1 Hurricane. I live in Manatee/Sarasota County, we took a direct hit with Milton as a Mid range Cat 3. If you were to step outside around 12AM you would have seen winds and rain like you have never experienced before. The wind was moving so damn fast it was literally screaming. I have lived in FL and in fact the Tampa Bay area my entire life and I have only seen something like this maybe twice. What you got to see was an introduction to a hurricane.

[@tysondormer7515]

back in 2018 hurricane Micheal( a cat 5 hurricane) directly hit my town panama city Florida. it was devastating and the best description for the town after the storm would be fallout 4. entire forests were leveled and there are still rotting buildings in town to this day. the most surreal things I've ever experienced are the total solar eclipse and being in the eye of a category 5 hurricane. but while panama city was dealing with 150 mph wind mexico beach was getting swept away by what can be described as tsunami like storm surges. terrifying acts of nature

[@garygreen4527]

there are still some places here in the Tampa area that are still either flooded or trying to remove debris from Milton my apartment complex just yesterday removed the trees that fell during the storm

Strangly enough, here in Jax we're still struggling with all of the rain from before hurricane helene! I know 3 lots in my neighborhood who's homes are still flooded and everytime it rains it just goes back up again, my lawn was fulled to the brim with water for a week until it went down, my neighbors still has a giant lake (it's gotten to the point where there are shore birds on a daily basis 😂)

Tampa Bay region here Adam, glad you made it, Milton was a total pain over here, we did not get a direct hit but still had some 100 mile per hour gusts. My power was off long enough to have to throw everything out in the freezer, about 13 hours. We were also sideswiped by Debby, and Helene, so was a very active year here in the north Tampa burbs.

[@Fuphyter]

Well Adam, welcome to Florida! You actually know what an H feels like now. I'm on central Florida's east coast. The hurricane, thankfully, lost steam. The winds and tornado warnings were still insane. One touched down just south of me and another north.

For those going to the US during Tornado and Hurricane seasons and visiting states that get hit by them frequently a list of best items to buy are going to be as followed: - batteries(AA and AAA are most commonly used) -flashlight -non perishable foods(canned, dried) - medical bag(can find them in any grocery store or supermarket in the pharmacy area or care area) -water bottles -thermo blankets(any Dicks Sporting goods, or hunting store should carry them; supermarkets will also carry them in the camping areas) -walkie talkies These are in no particular order, however they all often make the biggest difference in staying hydrated, nourished, and warm/dry. -portable chargers -rain coats/ponchos -hiking shoes/boots(best for going through uneven ground/rubble)

[@kimberlyskokan3444]

That first tornado was down here. Inland from Naples in a community called Ave Maria. We got a lot of weather down here, but the tornados caused rolling power outages (even for me, and I live on a first responder grid with 2 hospitals, a fire house, and a special needs emergency shelter). For reference, during Hurricane Ian I was working from home while the storm was raging outside my house and I never lost power. The Milton adjacent tornado power outages took out my fiber optic internet the Monday after Milton didn't hit us. It took them 3 weeks to get me back up and running. But Tampa, Sarasota, Venice, Clearwater, and further inland; they got hit really hard this time.

[@BruceMusto]

Hurricanes are never fun but there's nothing wrong with being happy that you and your family are safe. I felt the exact same way and I was especially pleased that I only had a few shingles taken off the roof. That was easily repaired. Along with being happy, I was thankful. Thankful that pretty much everyone I knew came through unscathed. It was much worse here when Charley rolled through back in 2004, and then got followed in quick succession by Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne. Milton's track was almost the same as Charley's, in that they both went pretty much down the I4 corridor; but Charley just absolutely trashed the neighborhood we were living in at the time as well as the rest of Orlando. So I always breathe a sigh of relief when we dodge one or make it through one, because next time, we might not be so fortunate

1st of all Adam, welcome to the states. Welcome to Florida... I have been living in Florida for almost 20 years. I have been through Hurricane Irma, Charlie, Ian, Helene & Milton in the last 10 years. They are never easy to get through. I live in the Tampa area. So I had debris & tree branches all over my home & neighborhood. Luckily, nothing devastating like other parts of western Florida.. Rules of hurricanes -Buy alot of toilet paper (don't know why but do it lol) -Buy LOTS of alcohol, snacks & non perishable foods -If you going to evacuate, DO IT (Espc if you live on the coastline) - Do NOT walk the streets when the storm hits. Watch the Storm from inside. - Enjoy the storm to see what mother nature is capable of (safely) - After the storm is over, if you see people that need help, help them. Overall Adam, I'm proud of you for experiencing something that you have reacted to. Hopefully, you will have wonderful memories of your vacation in the US. Lastly, Having been through several hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes & severe cold weather, id take a hurricane almost every time. You know when the storm is coming from to make decisions on what to do. You understand the path of the storm & you can plan to make sure yourself & loved ones are safe. Hope to see more vlogs of you going to other American city Love from Tampa Bay... Helene & Milton can't stop us

[@diverdown631]

I, along with many others, were in the direct path of hurricane Ian two years ago. Hours of 140 mph or more winds with 22 inches of rain, but luckily, no wind damage and water came right up to my house,but not in. These recent storms concerned me even more because the tornado warnings were coming in so frequently I had trouble knowing if it was old or new. You always take tornado warnings seriously, especially if they say rotation detected.

[@ggarber4763]

That's the typical pretty much nothing that happens inland from an indirect hit and no tornado. But it is best not to be complacent because every now and then one won't fizzle out quickly over land and come right at you. That can be a memorable experience. One cool thing I saw once was all the leaves ripped off the trees and turned into that green paste stuff that builds up on the bottom of powered lawn mower. About an inch accumulated on one side of the house's stucco paint job. I haven't had the experience of being on the wrong side of one near where it makes landfall and never will willingly.

[@sailordave1000]

I live in south Louisiana and have been through many hurricanes. We stock up on canned and dry foods. Refrigerated foods aren’t good stock if there’s an extended power outage. We do canned meats, vegetables, and fruit. Dry includes cereal (grits or oatmeal), and bread. Water is much more important than alcohol. Hurricanes spawn tornadoes. Though you may be further inland, there is still the possibility of tornadoes. Modern hotels are generally safer since they have generators. Flying debris can be deadly dangerous.

Couldn’t raise the door up because ALL that water PUSHED “the stuff” to the door to where we couldn’t pull it up. We were waiting for cooler weather to go thru (& pass some family things we put in there when we moved to other family members) but THAT was taken care for us. ☹️ Hope things get better & closer to “normal” for us all here in WNC. 😊 ✌🏻 PS edit: I see your sweet kitty snuggling in your pic. 😻

So, roughly Aug. 2010 I was in a typhoon (Pacific Hurricane) for 2 days, as it was slow moving.

I have been through many, but never anything really strong. If you are in the path of one and you are near the beach, even a weak storm will scare you.

I was confident that the motel would withstand the storm, and it had already gone through NOLA, but it was scary.

I was in North Carolina visiting my daughters when Milton hit. Not bad in Raleigh at the hotel. I know it did a lot of damage to the west of us. Glad you were ok.

[@lisanelson9979]

Storm Ashley is hitting NI tomorrow, 20/10/24. Winds up to 80 mph. Actually the whole of Ireland. Coming from the Atlantic picking up speed.

I grew up in Florida, all my family still lives there. Then lived in New Orleans, so between the two, have been in many many hurricanes, also living in Dallas, have also dealt with many Tornadoes!

[@LordMaize]

My cousin lives in Orlando and he’s a wild boy never worries about hurricanes and just sees it as another thing. I always call to check in on him. I feel like a lot of Floridians are desensitized to it because it does happen so often. Honestly respect to them.

[@ChristopherWilliams-h7r]

I live in st Lucie and my neighborhood got hit with two tornadoes and my church got its roof blown off from one of them and yes hearing a siren is eerie

[@Gedden]

You really did get a true American experience! Loved the videos of your trip.

[@guardianoffire2795]

I'm glad to see Orlando is ok. I have family there and have been a little worried about them.

[@ticozayas6430]

"more wine" and then "more vodka" see you already know how to hurricane prep lol

[@razer440]

I 'm so glad I live in Michigan and don't have tl experience any huricanes. The worst we get are snow storms in the winter but at lease our homes are still standing.

[@gerby17]

You're in my backyard! Orlando area had some damage but most of the damage was done on the west coast of Florida with the very high winds. Also, I was in Ireland back in April and was in some of the towns you showed in your video of where you live!

[@Scrogoroni]

Comes to America to experience it get once in a lifetime experience

[@JasmineRoberts-g2d]

I live between Tampabay Area and where Hurricane landed. Born and raised in Florida. Hard to evacuate when thry cover whole state. We hunker down and put up metal shutters and prepare for power outage which we were out for 5days. We are used to these every year but always devastating.

[@miamianz]

we lucked out in Orlando , Ian cost mass flooding in Orlando we lost both cars and home its all good now. but each hurricane is a unfamiliar enemy you dont know what you get till it passes even if it is a low grade hurricane.

[@David_C_83]

Glad to see you were all safe (minus the lost hat) and that it wasn't as bad as in other places. I was honestly worried when I heard you were out there at the time but overall I think you can consider it like a preview of what a strong storm can do, few humans get to have that experience in person, not bad for a first trip! Thanks for sharing your experience with us ☺

[@TheRagratus]

OK, That's the 2nd bottle of "Barefoot Chardonney" I've seen ya with. OBVIOUSLY a favorite of yours and the Misses.

[@JohnnaGrl1]

Going through hurricanes sucks. I’ve lived in Florida my entire life. Lived in Orlando, since the late 1990s. The 2004 hurricane season was rough (Charley, Frances, and Jeanne). Didn’t have power for weeks. Had a lot of damage from Irma. I’m thankful it wasn’t worse from Milton. But, it was a scary night.

[@janp719]

My friends in Orlando lost power for a while and had a few branches down. Orlando really didn’t get it luckily.

[@Rockin357]

Glad you were in a good place and made it through. Lucky. ❤❤

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

I live in Hernando County. We didn't get our electricity back until 11 O' clock last Sunday morning. The school that I work at is still without internet.

[@Tehblood]

my wife, MiL, and I hung out at my grandparents house for this one, middle of pinellas park. lost like a half dozen shingles and near 48 hrs without power. we did quite well compared to the people closer to the coast.

[@maxwellstubbs2510]

I live in Bradenton, I only just got power back on Wednesday. My apartment wasn't too bad but there's def some damage around us. I went through Hurricane Maria as well by the way, if you want POV of a Cat 5 hurricane I have some stuff on my channel. Glad you got to experience something you won't back in the UK though, and come out safely.

[@MarieFara]

We might lose power, so let me buy meat and cheese 😂

[@ninja_tony]

Brother, your emergency prep shopping looks like my every weekend prep shopping 😂

[@janetwatson7966]

I went through one hurrican when I lived in florida.. I sat on the back patio, had a roof over it. Rain pelting down. Wind blowing.

[@philipcoggins9512]

Your feelings of being happy are perfectly normal. You are happy you and your family made it through safe. Rejoice and be merry! A couple years ago Ian's eye went right over my parents place. When I went down to help them out, I was shocked by how lucky they got. They only had a small water leak and had to replace their AC unit, but when I rounded the corner to look at their neighbor's place it had looked like an atom bomb had went off.

[@rhov-anion]

Being happy that your family is safe is legitimately a great reason, especially as you acknowledge that it could have been much, MUCH worse and was deadly for many. This is why, when Americans warn "Don't come to X-state during X-season," we mean it. I don't know HOW many times I had to warn my German cousins, don't come to Texas in the summer. "Oh, but that's when all the cool things happen!" No! No, it's not! The festivals in the southwest are all in the spring FOR A REASON. It's the only time the weather is manageable be to outdoors for more than an hour. Heat stroke is real and deadly, and it messes you up for life. Dunno how many times I had heat stroke as a kid, and now in my 40s my guts shut down if it gets above 85°F/30°C, a spring day in Texas.

[@nyneeveanya8861]

Be happy,you experienced the edges of a small hurricane with no major damage. I’m in western North Carolina where hurricane Helene came through a few weeks ago. It’s oct 31 now and fema and other relief agencies are still helping victims here and in Georgia and eastern Tennessee rebuild. Next time please put flashlights and batteries in your supplies because the power usually goes out.

[@justgenesis]

Man, that's so bad luck tp go on vacation and end up in a hurricane. Thankfully you were in a spot that wasn't hit too badly. Glad you and the girls are safe. 😊
