The 2018 Hurricane Season (PBP): Cat-4 Hurricane Michael leaving a trail of destruction in Florida

If movies taught me anything, right now would be the time to invest in a shrimping boat...

Profit$$$

Looks like at least one of the storm chasers got caught in a bad spot, they're in trouble and out of options with the surge coming in.

Terrifying.

Brett Adair's feed was absolutely insane before it went down. He was right in the dirty side of the eye wall when it came in and his truck went from totally safe to floating in 5-10' of water in like 10 minutes. He bailed out along with his crew but left the camera in the truck running, there's a good chance they're all statistics by now.

Apparently Brett made it to safety and isn't a statistic yet. But holy shit, that feed. 28 minutes in and shit's getting real. 33 minutes is when they realize they're in deep shit.

Wow... These guys are incredibly stupid. Any random debris coming through the truck and these clowns would have died. Seriously, WTF were they trying to do?

And that footage at the end is fucking incredible.

Hard to say. The feeds went down one by one as the hurricane came in, and unless someone has a satellite uplink I don't think they'll be coming back anytime soon. It was a strong cat 4 and possibly a cat 5 at landfall, I don't think there's gonna be any cellphone or other service coming out of that area for a while.

This gentleman is live covering this hurricane. And will be going throughout the whole thing. This looks grim yall... hope no one is still there. Saying this could become a cat 5 by landfall. And it's due to hit at 1pm est

It's supposed to come back here to Wilmington, NC as a tropical storm. After Hurricane Florence, we really don't need any more wind or rain.

This thing is pretty crazy. It's going to be at around 150 mph when it gets to west Georgia.
