I honestly thought the dude was nuts at the time — in spite of obviously being one of the more veteran/knowledgeable posters on the forum, from my experience. I don't know why anyone doubted him. NHC had this getting to 140mph but people just shrugged it off because it wasn't getting strong fast enough for them and came up with all these reasons why it wouldn't get much stronger lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen to see 2 storm chasers streams and when I happen to look they were not nearly like the Michael videos. Since I posted that on the thread I went back and looked at some of the twitter videos and yes I absolutely take back what I sad. Chill out Ahh just busting ya…it’s all good.

Outdoor IP security cameras are built to survive bad weather if installed and mounted properly. Most are also on battery backup so keep recording for several hours after the power goes out. I'm sure we'll be seeing some really amazing security camera footage as people get back to their homes and businesses over the next few days. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impressive part is that it kept streaming with all the power outages. Obviously most home cameras are on home internet, not LTE like the surge cam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot count on an internet connection for security cameras, you need a DVR/NVR that records. Most DVRs and NVRs have internet access, but keep recording even without power or internet if on a battery back up system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but I'm assuming that this video was live streamed (even if also locally recorded) vs being uploaded after the fact. All my cameras are streamed live but also recorded locally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yeah....I thought it might get 5 mire knots...and since it's "not technically possible" to report 155, it really was a hairs breath from 160...Sure it is. They report 135kt/155 MPH easily (was Michael's operational landfall intensity). 55, 95 and 135 MPH are the ones you won't see because there's no conversion from knots that rounds to 5.Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normandy Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Easily a top five hurricane landfall in the north gulf coast. Thankfully a far west track and slow movement spared New Orleans the worst but others certainly took it on the chin 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
