the masculine urge to stand outside during a storm
-
I came expecting clickbait, and left completely satisfied by the way you documented the storm. Bravo, stay safe.
-
I just wanna say I appreciate that this wasn't click-bait, and we actually got to see that really clear eye-view. thanks for taking the risks and getting this footage. I liked everything about this video.
-
The best hurricane footage of a Cat5 eye wall. Such a beautiful sight. So calm no wind and sunny in the middle of a monster. Nature is amazing
-
This is one of the rare moments where you can directly visualize the size of the planet all at once. Seeing the hurricane from space, and then seeing the exact same shape from the ground must feel incredible, to know you're looking at something so huge that it could be seen by somebody standing on the surface of the moon.

Being inside the center of such an incomprehensively massive and powerful storm must be truely an incredible experience
-
Thanks for watching eveyone btw this is the lowest pressure recorded in a cyclone by a storm chaser on land to this day.
-
There’s some weird existential dread seeing a clear blue sky being circled by a wall of extremely harsh storm winds
-
This is one of the most impressive weather videos I have ever seen. Really well done Sir. Glad you’re okay.
-
This is every hurricane chasers dream. That eye was perfect. Thank you so much
-
****Thanks for watching everyone the video is really taking off !****

Hurricane Dorian was one of the most peculiar storms I’ve ever seen. Aside from its overpowered stats and stalling out, Dorian had a near perfect circular eye. It must have been a surreal experience standing in amidst the eye of the storm. If there was such a rating of Cat 6, Dorian would certainly achieved this super hurricane status.

It always just impresses me so much how strong palm trees are like they can stand a 180 MPH hurricane winds but my hardwoods Ash and maples will break off in like 40MPH light thunderstorms winds.... Crazy.
-
There are only few category 5 hurricanes/typhoons, getting such a footage will definitely help the atmospheric agencies understand even more about hurricanes. Well done Jim and glad you’re all safe!
-
Dorian has to be the most photogenic hurricane I've ever seen. The eye was so pronounced, not only on satellite and radar, but from the ground too, amazing footage Jim!
-
Catching the eye like that looks breathtaking, even on video.
-
Totally gangster being in the eye of a hurricane. That's gotta be a once in a lifetime event.
-
12:50 The HOLY GRAIL of hurricane storm chasers...THE EYE OF THE STORM & its stadium effect.
-
I went through Maria in 2017 and recently Fiona. The differences between a cat 1 and a cat 5 is HUGE. Never got to see the eye stadium effect. Maria's eye dissorganized at landfall. But it was a monster storm. The aftermath is always the worst part, it's like a feeling of surviving the apocalypse

this is such an unbelievable video
