Brian Osburn, an XtremeTeam Member of XtremeHurricanes.com, has filmed what is arguably the best hurricane footage on YouTube. Hurricane Dolly shocked forecasters and all of South Texas when it came ashore and released enormous amounts of energy upon South Padre Island on July 23rd, 2008. The news crews were too scared to go out and give you the complete story on this viscious storm, but thanks to this video, not only will you learn the truth about this storm, but you will also experience first hand just how powerful an eyewall of a hurricane can be. So…you think you want to be in a hurricane? Think again. And after you watch it, you be the judge. Was this a Cat II storm as the news and weather services reported, or did part of it become a Cat III storm that put many thousands of people packed on a barrier island at high risk of severe injury or even death? Leave a comment and tell everyone what you think! Oh…and as always…enjoy!
This is raw video from David Reimer shot just south of downtown Oklahoma City on the now infamous May 10, 2010. Sirens were activated just after 4:45 PM CDT when the supercell that would go on to produce several strong tornadoes, including the Moore EF4, first became tornado warned just southwest of the city. This was a High Risk day from the Storm Prediction Center and the local media had been hyping up this event for the past week, still there were some people that did not take the warning seriously, as you can see in the video. This was about ten minutes before we moved northeast to get out of the way of the softball sized hail inbound and to get in the path of the cell out east of the metro. Be sure to check out Connor’s excellent tornado video from the red river that was taken about 90 minutes later. This video is not for rebroadcast, but a clean version of the video is available for media licensing.

This is part 3 of my videos of Hurricane Charley. This is by far the worst part of the hurricane. I am in Bonita Springs, Florida. The worst of this storm occurred about 45 to 50 miles to the north of Bonita Springs at Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte and Charlotte Harbor in Charlotte County. Hear the sound of the wind and see how amazingly strong this hurricane was even 45 and 50 miles to the south of where the worst of Charley occurred.

This part 1 of my live footage of Hurricane Charley which struck the southwest Florida peninsula on Friday, August 13, 2004. Charley came in and the National Hurricane Center in Miami forecasted the storm to move north and make landfall in the Tampa Bay area. However, as with other hurricanes, they seem to have a mind of their own and Charley was no exception. Charley made a turn and was moving toward Sanibel Island near Fort Myers and then veered away at the last minute, but still caused …

Watching the Saubat’s house flood in Chalmette during Hurricane Katrina. See the water go from 0 to 14ft. My neighbor stayed for the hurricane and video taped my house for as long as possible. Thanks to Mr. Ray Dacula.
This was taken on the west side of Aurora, NE in the evening of June 17, 2009. I’m amazed at these wonders and love the excitement of seeking out a new adventure. This was definitely an adventure. I was completely safe during the taping of this as I had an escape route planned if it started moving towards me. It sat in the same spot for 18 minutes. I’m not a professional storm chaser, nor do I claim to know everything about tornados, so when listening to the audio you are hearing the …
