Hurricane Michael in Marianna, Florida - 10/10/2018
***Not for broadcast without permission*** This is my unedited video of the passage of Hurricane Michael moving through Marianna, Florida Wednesday afternoon, October 10, 2018.
By approximately 1 p.m., hurricane force wind gusts had begun in southeastern Marianna. I took video and some still photos as Hurricane Michael passed directly overhead between 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The eye passed directly over my location at the America's Best Value Inn, 2086 Florida Highway 71, between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m. Based on my observation from the surface and looking at radar images that were later sent by friends, it appeared the center of the eye of Michael passed over around 3:15 p.m.
Because my phone battery was weak, power was out, and my phone signal was weak, I turned off cellular service and took as much video as I could of the storm. The most impressive things I noticed were the length of time the winds were sustained at hurricane strength and the manner in which they relentlessly ramped up. The best way I could describe it is that winds ramped up to a certain "plateau" speed. Then a higher gust would move in (you could usually hear and see the higher gusts and heavier rain sheets coming before they arrived). The winds would again plateau at this higher level until the next gust approached and an even higher plateau was reached. This process repeated itself from about 1:40 p.m. until the eye arrived at approximately 3 p.m.
The approach of the eye was clear to see. I was without radar data so I was relying on extrapolating what I saw previously on radar and what I was observing. In the minutes before the eye approached, precipitation intensity decreased, although the winds remained high. I observed a lighter sky appearing on the horizon behind the darker clouds. As the rain and wind decreased rapidly, it became obvious that we were in the eye. People started walking around. Birds started flying. Since my battery was down to about 15 percent on my phone, I quickly walked to my car and tried to charge the phone. I received a few texts with radar images sent by friends. Those images confirmed what I observed regarding the eye. By the time the eye reached Marianna, it had filled in with cloud cover, but the rain and wind stopped, temporarily.
While in my car, I thought about what would happen after the eye passed. Winds would resume rapidly and come from the opposite direction, the west. The northern eye wall had produced considerable damage. Numerous trees were snapped off and uprooted. Parts of the hotel were removed and scattered about, along with other debris. There was a metal portable carport that had been blown into a position just west of my car. I decided to move my car, which proved later to be a good move! The winds from the southern eye wall came out of the west and blew that metal carport exactly where my car had been parked.
At about 3:30, the southern eye wall arrived. As expected, high winds arrived quite suddenly. Despite the fact I was aware this would happen, during the short time it took me to get from my car back to the hotel, I was hit by a small piece of debris on my leg. The southern eye wall was intense, but not as intense as the northern eye wall. Despite the lower intensity it was probably more dangerous. All of the debris that had been broken loose from the northern eye wall was now being blown back to the east by the southern eye wall. All of the people at the hotel who were initially excited by the extreme winds evidently grew tired of watching it. During the northern eye wall there were dozens out of their rooms watching the storm from their doorways, the walkway or the breezeway. By the arrival of the second eye wall, I believe I was the only one still watching.
By about 5:00, winds were still very strong, but I found a brief time window when I could make a dash for my car. I was soaking wet. My phone had lost power, so I took a few minutes to start the phone charging, eat a snack, and prepare to (hopefully) leave. My goal was to get all the way back to Alabaster, Alabama, but I didn't know exactly what obstacles I would face.

Is This a Wall Coud?

A line of storms moved across Huntsville, Alabama on 5/27/18. These storms produced some scary looking clouds that looked like wall clouds, funnels, and even tornadoes. But there was none of that. The scary-looking clouds were shelf clouds and scud clouds forming in the rain-cooled air ahead of the storm along the gust front. This time lapse video shows that.

My husband and I were in Kure Beach, N.C., when Hurricane Floyd was about to make land fall. Needless to say, we had to cut our trip short and evacuate.😊

4 I will bring 🌪️ forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. Zech 5
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying 🌪️ roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
THEN I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying 🌪️ roll.
The flying 🌪️ roll
It messed east tarboro up extremely badly. I moved there in 2001 and it was still water marks on some homes. Couldn't believe the tar river could get so high. I stayed on Grandville st right by the river next to princeville. Very sad
Tom won an Emmy for this documentary.

This was definitely an EF5. No way it was EF-4.

I was in San antonio when it took out a street light Saturday night around 11pm
I love how they all say "tor-na-duh". I love Southern accents. 😊
Wow. I still remember this day if it was yesterday..I rescued so many people in a weeks time I can't count them all..the first two days of the storm was the worst..I don't even want to talk about the rest because it was sad times.. would I do it all over again I would if I had to but I never hope I have to
Princeville was the hardest hit..
This was a man made flood, just to let everyone know..this could have been avoided.. the state was scared the damm,s further west was going to break so they opened what we call the flood gates and all hell broke loose.. eastern north Carolina got messed up because of it..storm was bad yes but the mistake was from some human decisions..NC should have gave every person who was affected a new home but it didn't happen because most didn't have insurance.. crazy
Oh I’ve never heard them say “The Storm Prediction Center issued a [insert event] watch” before. Always heard NWS.
I remember being so excited at age 5 to meet Dan Satterfield at the Kids Count Expo; he was one of my heroes!
Dude, don’t know how to work his camera very well

Zechariah 5 THEN I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, flying 🌪️ roll. 2 And he said unto me, What thou seest? And I answered, I see a flying 🌪️ roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 3 Then said he unto me, This 🌪️ is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. 4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
I remember that "Jesus helps those who help themselves." Preying for The Dude to help them seems a bit ridiculous, eh?
True and righteous are thy judgments, O Lord.

RIP Mr.Wilham
They always leave out my beautiful Hancock county Ms. Ground Zero for Katrina. ❤ Hidden Paradise.
They were watching ABC 33/40? I think Huntsville and Birmingham has some of the highest overlap in DMA coverage.
I would say that by the time this hurricane hit Marianna fl it was a cat 3 maybe 4
Just horrible‼️‼️🙏🏼😭😭🙏🏼
Nice video, didn’t have to put up with someone screaming like a little girl about power flashes or inflows, ect.ect.
On this day I was working with my brother on a job in Pinson. We got rained out and went to the office, located in Westend. At home ws my wife and toddler, wife was pregnant with our second. Looking from the office toward our home I called my wife. The sky was as dark as I'd ever seen it. I told my wife to take our litle girl and go to the basement. While we were talking she said the lights just went out. I left the office and headed home. A fire truck passed me at college hills and sped away. I arrived at Cherry Avenue and exited from hiway 78. I had no idea what awaited in just a 14 mile. Nobody had stopped traffic from getting on Cherry. I found myself in the middle of where the storm had passed only 15 or so minutes before. With traffic backing up behind me I couldnt back up. Driving around debris and trees on the road All I could think about was to get home and see about my family. Finally I got to Daniel Payne Drive. There was a power line down across Cherry and I'd seen three cars drive over it, I knew it was dead but a cop pulled up and stopped me. I managed to turn around and head back. It took me over an hour to get back to 78. As I arrived home my brother, who had left the office after me was at our house, he was about to come looking for me, thinking I might have gotten caught in the tornado. It was a very bad day for the folks at Smithfield. Thankfully my family was safe. On a second note I had recently performed some work at a food plant in birmingham and knew a man who worked there, a very nice guy. In the opening of this video you will se the headline that a mother and child were killed. It was the nice guys wife and little girl. The mother had the kids, a girl and a boy, one on either side of her, holding them. The little boy survived.
Did James Earl Jones do voice work for NOAA weather radio? 😂
i know this happened in 99 but watching it just tears at my heart for all these people just catastrophic god bless all of them
This was an insane day. 60% SPC Risk of Tornadoes in parts of Alabama that day. Never have we seen conditions like this. This could have been much much worse.
8:10 That tornado was actually 1986. July 18,1986, and it was not planned by the News Helicopter to film this tornado. They were assigned to cover a parade, and this ended up being live coverage on the 5pm News Kare 11
Who the heck is playing the Bama fight song?? that’s poor taste.
Lived through these storms in Coosa Ga. Came in three waves. Around noon, late afternoon, then the final round at night. To this day the most frightening day of my life weather wise. Will never forget it.
Best documentation ever!
Beautiful!
The week before or of Spring Break at the time.
