00:00The weather.
00:03The pulse of our planet.
00:05Large tornado in progress.
00:08Capable of catastrophic destruction.
00:11Severe thunderstorm warning.
00:13Leaving landscapes in total ruin.
00:16Totally mashed up. Everything's flattened.
00:19As global temperatures rise,
00:23the weather is spiraling out of control.
00:27Holy shit!
00:29With shocking up-close footage.
00:32We had 24-foot dumpsters rolling by.
00:35Oh, shoot!
00:36I'm losing it. My trail is going.
00:38From the front line of fear.
00:40This might be the last time I'm in my house.
00:43Tornado!
00:45I got sucked out feet first.
00:48Felt myself hit the ground.
00:51Our island is in trouble.
00:54We meet the people who have stared death in the face.
00:57Oh, dear God.
00:59All I could hear was run, run, run.
01:01And miraculously survived.
01:04Look at that!
01:06The world's deadliest weather.
01:09Coming up, Hurricane Milton brings terrifying tornadoes that tear through tons in Florida.
01:26Leaving homes and lives in ruins.
01:28If we walk out of this pantry, is a log going to fall on us?
01:32Is there another tornado behind it?
01:34On the island of Maui, hurricane force winds fuel a furious fire that rages relentlessly.
01:41It literally looks like we're in hell.
01:44Forcing residents into the flame-filled ocean.
01:47We're way too on fire.
01:50What are we going to do?
01:51Dunk ourselves in the fuel water?
01:54Flash floods rip through a reservation in Arizona.
01:58Look at that water coming over that side.
02:01Trapping terrified tourists in the canyon.
02:04It starts to feel more and more and more serious.
02:07And a solo sailor's desperate struggle to save his own life after being struck by lightning off the coast of Panama.
02:16It's a sizzling, stark crack.
02:20Like a whiff.
02:31Florida, in the US, experiences 60 tornadoes on average every year.
02:38But in October of 2024, as Hurricane Milton rages across the Gulf of Mexico,
02:44the Category 5 storm triggers an unprecedented 46 tornadoes to hit Florida in one day alone.
02:54The biggest number in 70 years.
03:02We know that thunderstorms can spawn tornadoes.
03:05When you have so much energy in the atmosphere,
03:07one of the ways that the atmosphere attempts to create an equilibrium or balance is manifesting as a tornado.
03:15Getting rid of all that energy downward.
03:18In the United States, they get tornadoes that can rip apart houses in a matter of seconds.
03:25They start spiraling and then eventually will tilt round.
03:29And if they hit the ground, that's when they become a tornado.
03:34Someone who knows exactly how powerful tornadoes can be is 25-year-old storm chaser, Morgan Gigan,
03:42who lives near Wellington on the east coast of Florida.
03:45I had been tracking Hurricane Milton for a few days.
03:50The threat of tornadoes did appear to be heightened.
03:54I was on my way to work and saw this storm moving north through the Everglades.
03:59So I made my diversion and went straight towards the storm and ended up intercepting it at the Miccosukee Service Plaza.
04:11I was able to see this storm with just violent lower-level motion.
04:17Begin to wrap up and very, very quickly form a tornado.
04:22Large tornado in progress.
04:24Moving north at this time, large wedge tornado in progress.
04:28I was pretty psyched.
04:30You very rarely get tornadoes at 8 a.m. in the morning, and that's even more rare in South Florida.
04:37And the second that that occurred, I knew it was going to be a potentially historic day.
04:42Long track tornado.
04:44We have thought going for about 15 minutes now.
04:49112 kilometers north of Morgan in Fort Pierce,
04:52Kobe Taborski and his uncle Eli have seen numerous tornado warnings on social media.
04:59So they head out to try and spot one.
05:02We're traveling north along I-95 and we saw several instances where a tornado had crossed the road.
05:08Everything was just a mess.
05:09People were taking shelter in their vehicles under the overpasses to try to escape the random tornadoes that were everywhere.
05:21We come across this one circulating cloud and we can tell that it's about to form into a tornado.
05:26Across the horizon we could see a funnel.
05:32It was moving quite fast and it was a little erratic.
05:37It was exhilarating.
05:39It was incredible.
05:41But their most shocking sight was still to come.
05:46We took the exit on Okeechobee and we went west.
05:51And we received an official tornado warning.
05:56So our phones went off again.
06:03There wasn't making a U-turn, there wasn't any backing up.
06:05There wasn't any flooring in it to try to go through.
06:11We just stayed right there.
06:13It was extremely powerful.
06:36Lahaina, Hawaii, August 2023.
06:41A series of wildfires collide with hurricane force winds to create a near inescapable hell on Earth.
06:49That rages into the night and forces islanders to choose between a flaming ocean.
06:55That's all way too on fire.
06:57Or a deadly suffocating inferno.
07:00Hurricane Dora was producing wind gusts on Maui from 64 to 128 kilometers an hour.
07:10The fire spread incredibly fast, overtaking communities.
07:14And unfortunately, many people could not get out of harm's way.
07:18Lahaina is a picturesque paradise.
07:22Home to boat captain Chrissy Lovett and her wife Emma,
07:26who run a business delivering groceries by boat.
07:28The weather in Lahaina is not always sunshine and rainbows.
07:34We get these winds called the Kutlulu winds, and they funnel through the valleys.
07:38And so we'll get winds cranking through there 30 to 80 knots sometimes.
07:47It's the summer of 2023, and local news stations in Lahaina are reporting that hurricane Dora is on its way.
07:54Chrissy had actually been watching this weather pattern for probably about five days.
08:02The power actually went out at 4.35 a.m.
08:07Emma, she's the one who woke up first, and she was pretty concerned and wanted to go to the boat.
08:12As we headed into Lahaina, we saw just debris everywhere.
08:19Oh, that boat is blowing over, dude. Look at that boat. It healed over.
08:24The masts of sailboats were almost like touching the water, like being completely blown over.
08:28Wow. I've never seen a boat heel over in strong winds.
08:37We made it to the harbor, and it just was like, wow. This is nuts.
08:44As the hurricane winds batter the harbor, the couple rush to secure their boat.
08:51Part of being responsible captain is making sure it doesn't break free during the storm, making sure we put extra lines on, we put extra fenders.
08:58But the hurricane is only part of the problem. Recent hot and dry conditions mean a wildfire has started in the brush on the mountains that surround Lahaina, and the intense wind is spreading the fire toward the town and the harbor.
09:15We had heard that there was a brush fire earlier, but it was just all of a sudden a massive column of smoke.
09:29And then the smoke, it just grew to this unbelievable size.
09:34We heard like these like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
09:47We thought it was fireworks.
09:51We realized those aren't fireworks, those are explosions.
09:56As the fire reaches the harbor, the intense heat ignites the fuel tanks in the boats, causing them to explode.
10:04one by one.
10:06The road out of the harbor is blocked by the flames, and the island's infrastructure continues to collapse in the chaos.
10:13I tried to make a phone call, and the cell phones were all dead.
10:18I think we're going to leave. You can see the flames.
10:21We got to get out of here.
10:23It was starting to get like pretty worrisome.
10:25Like we were like, okay, maybe like driving out was not happening.
10:29It literally looks like we're in hell.
10:31Back in Florida, Hurricane Milton is heading straight for the West Coast, triggering 46 tornadoes across the state.
10:44Kobe and his uncle Eli are trapped in their car, as a furious-looking funnel barrels straight toward them.
10:54There's no more.
11:06No more.
11:07No more.
11:09The tornado was a unique feeling.
11:10the tornado was a unique feeling the pressure drops it gets very dark the only thing that you
11:29saw was black the only light that we had were transformers blowing up away from us we both
11:48thought that we were going to be airborne at any moment you had thousands and thousands of small
11:58debris fields just slammed against the side of the car the overall roar that that tornado made
12:08is unforgettable once I realized that it was safe I stepped out of the vehicle went and surveyed the
12:17damage there was a piece of metal fence a 48 inch piece of aluminum sticking out of the side of the
12:26Jeep that very easily could have came through the windshield I think that we both knew immediately
12:34how close we came to possibly losing our lives Hurricane Milton is now just hours away and tornadoes
12:48are being reported in several towns and cities across the East Coast 120 kilometers south of Kobe
12:56and Eli storm chaser Morgan has roped in a friend to help him tailor tornado in the ordinarily sleepy town
13:03of Wellington we were aware of the Wellington EF3 tornado because we were watching an honor radar for
13:12about 20 miles beforehand and then we saw this gorgeous large destructive cone tornado occurring about
13:22five miles south of us it was this large gray almost mean looking cone tornado and you could already see
13:34that it was lofting debris high into the air tornadoes generally don't move particularly fast but they can
13:44really switch direction very quickly indeed they're being fed by by the thunderstorm above them so generally if
13:51you see the skies blackening you should be wary and if you do see a tornado head in the opposite direction
13:57you either have to get ahead of it or you have to stay back of it and allow it to cross in front of
14:04us we decide to go ahead of it and then as it moved closer to populated areas you could see even more debris
14:13and it take on this even darker more angry gray color and outside the side of our passenger side window you
14:25could see just debris being thrown through the air and just this large tornado slowly bearing down on us this was
14:35the closest I've ever allowed myself to get to a tornado especially one of this intensity after being this close it's
14:45given me a whole new respect from other nature and for the fact that she cannot be tamed
14:50Australian sailor Peter Lekerski spends his life aboard his 42 foot sailboat filming his nautical adventures
15:11and sharing them online I've got to make sure I'm attached to my lifeline I've lived on a boat well since 2008 and I'm married to the sea
15:25what do I love about the sea well there's less people and there's a lot of adventure
15:34you can live this very very healthy life I love it early to bed early to rise sailing is just a very
15:44simple life it's 2020 and Peter is exploring the sandblast islands in the Caribbean Sea that whole coastline
15:55is absolutely beautiful but when it comes to summer time the wet season the mountains tend to be lightning magnets and so the closer you are the
16:09you're more likely to get hit I mean to get hit by lightning it's it's pretty rare you know I figured I was quite safe
16:20Peter is used to riding out extreme weather but one night in October of 2020 he gets an unexpected shock
16:30a bolt of lightning strikes his boat sending a large spark through the rig leaving him without power
16:44and with no means of communication to describe the moment it hit it's just so quick
16:50I can't tell you what was going through my mind but it felt like some percussive force hitting me in the back
16:59it's so bright as it's like completely white
17:04it's so crisp it's a sizzling stark crack like a whip
17:12lightning is known to be deadly and extremely dangerous as it's got a lot of electricity and
17:20is hotter than the surface of the sun if you find yourself getting struck by lightning in water or even
17:25nearby it could be the equivalent of putting a toaster in a bathtub water is a conductor of electricity and
17:31the end result would be electrocution the lightning traveled down the mast and around the body of the
17:39aluminum boat cracking the frame I could see molten metal falling around my ears I checked all the
17:50compartments
17:51it's just nothing went straight to the hatch and I lifted it up and as I lifted up I just heard this
18:01waterfall in the middle of my boat together people a river in my boat the lightning traveled down the
18:10mast and around the body of the boat cracking the frame but with no hole immediately apparent Peter
18:18begins to suspect the damage to his boat might be below the water line so armed with a torch he dives in
18:25I went to all the most logical places and then of course I saw this flap hanging down the hole really
18:38was about that big so a hole like that would sink a boat like mine in three minutes and so I jumped in
18:47the dinghy I got some plastic bags and this very sticky plastic tape and I thought I'd go and find the
18:56hole plug it and then that should reduce the flow this is special type that sticks to wet surfaces it
19:04wasn't my finest work of plugging a hole but I thought this is great I was actually feeling quite tough with
19:11myself but the commotion in the water has attracted another dangerous issue a school of bull sharks people
19:22said oh won't you worry well I didn't want to lose my home that's the most important thing luckily the
19:30sharks keep their distance and Peter's plugging means his boat stays afloat until he can find help hear that
19:37people nothing silence the bilge alarm stopped about five minutes ago the problem has been solved
19:48that'll do it well there's no more leak it was all good done I'm still gonna take risks still gonna be
20:02reckless so I don't think it's changed me at all really but I must admit the awesomeness of lightning
20:10it's amazing volcanoes are earth's fiery Titans highly unpredictable by their very nature where
20:24explosive force and deadly beauty collide in unstoppable destruction this tourist in Iceland is risking his
20:35life to shoot the perfect shot standing perishly close to a volatile lake of lava that is burning its
20:43way down a mountain in Iceland following the eruption of Fagra Dalsviad gelding Gadalir volcano in August of
20:502021 suddenly the lava flow increases dramatically spewing gallons of molten rock into the air narrowly missing
21:03the foolish photographer as it rages along its flaming path but when the majestic Mount Dukono begins to erupt in
21:15North Halmahira Indonesia in August of 2024 absolutely no one is stopping for photos instead the terrified
21:25tourists run for their lives trying to get as far as possible from the mind-blowing mass of rock and dust
21:32billowing from the beast the unauthorized climbers were warned that the volcano was on high alert and told to
21:41remain within a three kilometer radius of the peak yet they still ventured in to the highly hazardous area
21:48miraculously there were no reported injuries and all the climbers escaped with their lives but they might
21:56think twice before breaking the rules in the future October 9th 2024 a record-breaking 46 tornadoes hit Florida
22:15paving the way for Hurricane Milton which is brewing over the Gulf of Mexico one of the more severe of them
22:22has torn across the town of Wellington on the east coast tornado in progress tornado in progress
22:28narrowly missing storm chaser Morgan and now it's hurtling east towards West Palm Beach the home of
22:38Danielle Watson and her husband Robert I remember that I had heard that there were tornadoes happening in
22:45south Florida in south Florida Robert had gone outside and was looking at some sort of weird clouds
22:54happening outside we can see the wind shifting the clouds kind of stirring in a circle and we saw as it
23:09approached a lot of debris flying in the air and just you can see it in a circular motion
23:14and I honestly thought we were relatively safe being as naive as that is
23:21oh my god
23:23oh my god
23:27oh my god
23:29what I remember the most is just all the debris hitting the houses and the noise of the glass breaking and
23:48things just flying was this gray grayish and you can see the debris twisting in the air
23:57I didn't realize the magnitude of what was about to happen obviously if I did would have used better
24:06judgment and would have gotten into a safe place
24:09I was in shock I had never seen anything like this in my life
24:26as the tornado passes directly over Danielle and Robert's house it picks up a garden chair and smashes it
24:35into the sliding glass door
24:38one of the two got picked up and just thrown right against the slider
24:47it was quite terrifying
24:49I honestly was fearful that the roof was going to get ripped off the intensity and the power of this was
24:58so much
25:02to see that just get picked up
25:04like magic and then thrown up against the slider
25:07I'll never forget that that was just very frightening to me
25:12the 241 kilometer per hour whirlwind was later categorized as an EF3 tornado
25:21me please get inside
25:23meaning it's severe
25:25having caused significant damage to hundreds of homes
25:29we just walked out front
25:32saw the destruction
25:38the street was just lined with debris
25:48we were both stunned
25:49our community had been so devastated in five minutes
25:53back in Lahaina on Maui a wildfire fueled by hurricane force winds reaches the harbor
26:14the street is on fire
26:15Emma and Chrissy are desperately trying to escape the flames
26:18people came running through and they're like the fires here
26:22it's like get out
26:24we have to go
26:25I think we're going to leave
26:27we got to get out of here
26:29and there's really only one option
26:33I grabbed a 10-foot skiff
26:38and I started shuttling people out of the harbor
26:42at a certain point it was like darkness because there was so much smoke
26:53and it's like you're driving in the dark
26:55you can't see anything
27:01it literally looks like we're in hell
27:04and then we kind of like sat there for a second
27:06and like look back and like just the town is like disappearing
27:11we couldn't do anything we couldn't go back in
27:17and we're just like
27:19what do we do now
27:22the couple has no choice but to wait in the water
27:25and hope the fires die down
27:29as the hours pass and darkness falls
27:32they watch helplessly as the flames consume their hometown
27:36we were like well we can't just sit here
27:38and just like watch all of this
27:41you know like we have to try to do something
27:44we were like let's go see if anyone else is in there
27:46let's see if we can find anyone
27:47get them out of the water
27:50as the waves are on fire
27:52be careful
27:54as we turned into the harbor
27:56the waves were actually on fire
27:59from the amount of fuel and ash and oil
28:01that was on the surface of the water
28:04and it was like this apocalypse
28:07that we had just driven the dinghy into
28:09be careful right here
28:12we were getting bombed by
28:15it was like fire debris
28:19we were really afraid of like our clothes catching on fire
28:22of like anything catching on fire
28:23and then like what are we going to do
28:25dunk ourselves in the fuel water
28:29despite their fears
28:32Emma and Chrissy spend hours helping the Coast Guard rescue exhausted islanders from the water
28:38some of them children
28:40like having a purpose felt better than sitting there and watching helplessly as like your town disappeared before your eyes
28:50by morning most of the fire has burnt itself out
28:56after 18 hours at sea watching their town turn to ashes suffering from smoke inhalation and exhaustion
29:04the couple are able to return to dry land
29:07but nothing could have prepared them for the devastation to come
29:13it's so slick with fuel in here
29:15yeah
29:17we went into the harbor and it was gone
29:22it was like a war zone
29:28everything's gray, black, everything's smoky, you know there's no green
29:33the wind had stopped
29:39there were no more explosions
29:42silence
29:46no birds chirping
29:49no leaves moving in the wind
29:52that's why
29:53no
29:55it's not like a...
29:59one hundred and two people lost their lives in the Maui fire
30:03making it one of the deadliest wildfires in US history
30:08over 2,000 structures were destroyed
30:11federal officials estimated the cost of the damage to be well over 5 billion dollars
30:16Emma and Chrissy feel lucky to have escaped with their lives.
30:23Emotions, they're up, they're down, there's anger, there's sadness, there's hope.
30:32I'm grateful every single day that I am safe, that Chrissy was safe.
30:37And, you know, the loss is tragic, and so that's ever-present,
30:41but I think it's just as present as the gratitude of being alive and being safe.
31:01As those in Maui know, the ocean is a force of relentless power and untamed fury.
31:07It's a typical day at Pierpoint Beach in California in the U.S.,
31:14when the waves suddenly turn sinister, speeding towards the sea wall.
31:19Oh!
31:23Oh, shit!
31:24Oh!
31:26Oh, no!
31:27But the waves are too strong for some, and they get dragged under and pulled along as far as 50 yards,
31:36sustaining multiple injuries.
31:38The flooded town is thrown into chaos as traffic comes to a standstill, perfectly demonstrating the pure power of the ocean.
31:55It's late evening in this small village in northwest Greenland, when a tsunami hits the houses along the shoreline.
32:04At first, the rising water level doesn't appear to be too concerning.
32:09Until some of the houses begin to float by.
32:16As the wave size rapidly increases, the seriousness of the situation becomes inescapable, as more and more houses are ripped from their foundations and carried away by the water.
32:31The wave continues to push its way inland, causing locals to run in search of higher ground.
32:44The person filming managed to escape the water, but reports later confirmed that four people were tragically killed.
32:54The Havasupai reservation bordering the Grand Canyon, Arizona, in the United States, is one of America's most remote settlements, only accessible by helicopter or on foot.
33:16Each year, thousands of tourists make the 16-kilometer hike into the canyon to witness the area's spectacular waterfalls.
33:26But in August 2024, heavy rain triggers major flash flooding.
33:35Look at that water coming over that side.
33:38Cutting off access and leaving nearly 100 hikers trapped in the reservation.
33:43Flash floods are when heavy rain falls from the sky and the ground just can't cope with that volume of water.
33:53Flash floods can occur very rapidly, generating a lot of mud as well, exacerbating the flood.
33:58Flash floods can be incredibly dangerous because the speed of the water currents.
34:05People can be taken by surprise at the rising of that water so rapidly.
34:12What we have to remember, it just takes six inches of water to knock someone off their feet, particularly if there's currents within that body of water.
34:24Clayton Worthen from Las Vegas and his wife, Shelly, love spending time outdoors.
34:34Havasupai is one of the most beautiful places I think a lot of hikers can go to in the southern United States.
34:42It is one of the top hikes.
34:45So along with ten of their friends, the couple start the trek into the canyon.
34:50On the way down, it's typical like rock paths, but once you get down, there's greenery, it's lush, especially as you get right into the village.
35:01At the end of the hike, then you start seeing those beautiful blue waters that come into play.
35:08The group stop to admire the famous Havasupai Falls, then trek further down to their campsite in the base of the canyon.
35:17We checked the weather before we went down.
35:21It had rained the night before, and there was rain in the forecast, and it was supposed to rain lightly.
35:28Lightly, yeah.
35:29Was the big thing.
35:30For like 20 minutes.
35:31And then it was going to be done.
35:34It sprinkled for probably about 45 minutes, and then it started coming down heavy-ish.
35:39And we were in our tent.
35:41We had six of us in there.
35:44You don't want everyone to get wet.
35:47It got more serious as we got word from the ranger, hey, there's a flash flood coming down, and you guys need to start moving.
36:00Within moments, I was dragged shed to toe.
36:04And then as we start moving, waterfalls are forming.
36:07Look at that water coming over that side.
36:09It starts to feel more and more and more serious.
36:12We were kept on being pushed to go just a little bit further and a little bit higher and a little bit past this bridge.
36:20And it says, once you get up above this bridge, you'll be fine.
36:23And there's just kind of this questioning, is this it?
36:28Is this the danger we were worried about?
36:29And it felt like everything was fine.
36:33But in the rush to leave camp, the group separates.
36:37With half of the party yet to arrive at the bridge, conditions rapidly start to change.
36:42All of the rain had stopped.
36:43But then we watched the water rise and rise.
36:48The hair on the back of the neck kind of stands up a little bit.
36:51And you say, something's going on, I need to start moving.
36:55We have to really get to high ground.
36:57So then we ended up walking up this plateau at least like 30, 40 feet above the original ground spot that we were on.
37:04And into that water course over that bank.
37:06All right, this is intense.
37:12Members of our group that ended up getting separated from their spouse at that point.
37:16And the river had just divided everybody.
37:19Dad.
37:23The trees are going.
37:24In just a few moments,
37:26the pathway is entirely engulfed by the flowing rapids,
37:32leaving Clayton, Shelley, and the rest of the group stunned and terrified.
37:36And we ended up watching the whole flood come through.
37:44I can't believe that just missed us and just passed us.
37:50And once that kind of died down, we knew that we were safe.
37:55So we were relieved that our group was all back together finally.
38:01As the group start to hike upwards back towards the village,
38:05it becomes clear that this isn't an isolated incident.
38:10So further up the canyon, it had come down hard.
38:13To have a survival went from one of the prettiest things I've ever seen
38:21to this just disgusting reddish-brown mud.
38:28It's like this is just an impressive amount of power just coming down this canyon.
38:31Eventually, the group managed to hike their way back up to the village,
38:39where locals had set up an emergency shelter in a nearby school.
38:44But they are still trapped within the canyon.
38:47We were also told that the whole hike in was completely washed out.
38:56The following day, the group were finally able to get a helicopter out of the canyon.
39:01Like, wow, like, that was every emotion that you could imagine.
39:10Once you finally got there, it was like touching that ground was like,
39:15oh my gosh, I'm safe.
39:17We learned a lot of lessons that weekend.
39:19Things can change very quickly.
39:22Mother Nature has its own agenda, and we for sure saw it that weekend.
39:27Yeah, absolutely.
39:34Back in Florida, 60 kilometers up the coast
39:38from where Danielle and Robert's house was trashed by a tornado,
39:43another of Hurricane Milton's whirlwinds has hit the city of Stewart.
39:47All right, we'll take you in.
39:49This time, destroying the home of Joanne and John Coleus.
39:54This is the TV family type room.
39:57Actually, when we first saw the tornado, we saw it at this window here.
40:02Joanne was in here watching the TV,
40:04and I was actually sitting in a chair by the front door
40:08because I had my phone and was watching the radar
40:12and knew it was coming from that direction.
40:14John and I made the decision that the pantry was going to be the safe space.
40:21TV was going off all the time with the weather alerts,
40:25and then I started seeing the debris.
40:27Light debris at first, not anything big and heavy,
40:32but it was flying by.
40:35Obviously, it was debris off, like shingles off of buildings and stuff.
40:40Ching, ching, ching, ching, ching, you know, on top of our roof,
40:44and on the side, you just ching, ching, ching.
40:45And that's what was, that's what you could hear at first.
40:49And then when Joanne saw the debris, she came running in there,
40:55and by that time, I, my ears started popping,
40:58and I knew that was the, I knew that was big trouble.
41:01And I yelled, tornado, pantry.
41:07We were calling the dog to try to get the dog to come in the pantry,
41:10and the dog wouldn't come.
41:12I closed the door of the pantry, couldn't get the dog.
41:16Things got worse and worse.
41:18You just felt this pressure in the house moving.
41:21The house just, it was like a person does a giant sneeze.
41:27It's like when you sneeze, you go, achoo, right?
41:30And the house just went up.
41:33You can see the actual ceilings that start to rise.
41:38And then, achoo, ceiling just came down.
41:42It was violent to the ground.
41:45Just didn't know what to expect next.
41:47If we walk out of this pantry, is a wall going to fall on us?
41:51Is there another tornado behind it?
41:53It's intimidating.
41:55You just don't know what's going to happen next.
42:00When it was over, everything was so quiet and still.
42:08Then, you know, the whole thing lasted like 45 seconds or so after that.
42:13We thought the dog was probably gone.
42:16All of a sudden over here, some of this insulation started moving.
42:19I came over and dug it out.
42:21It was only, you know, it's...
42:22She was seven months old at the time.
42:24Yeah.
42:25I think that the roof lifted, and when it lifted, it popped the drywall and cracked the drywall.
42:33It looked like it was snowing.
42:37It just kind of trickled down like snow.
42:41Big snow piles all over our furniture, all over our dog.
42:48It was just everywhere.
42:49Hundreds of houses in the area were damaged, and on the couple street, four homes were completely destroyed.
43:00Hours later, Hurricane Milton made landfall, causing up to $85 billion worth of damage and, tragically, taking over 30 lives.
43:11I think it's important to make sure, never take a storm for granted.
43:17John and I feel we are lucky to survive, and we're lucky, you know, we didn't lose our dog.
43:26That day in Florida was absolutely historical.
43:28I don't think Florida has ever seen a day like that in their history before.
43:34Mother Nature is extremely powerful, and nothing that you can do can alter its course.
43:41One thing that I think is, you prepare for the weather, you prepare for storms.
43:52Mother Nature is going to do what she wants to do.
43:56This was a, maybe a once-in-a-lifetime event.
44:00Something that, that hopefully we'll never see again.
44:11The weather.
44:18Tornado! Stay low!
44:19The pulse of the earth.
44:22And an uncontrollable force.
44:24Our island is in trouble!
44:27As global temperatures rise.
44:29It's my real last time, I'm in my house.
44:32The weather is getting more extreme.
44:35It's an unspottable force.
44:36And even more catastrophic.
44:40It's the most active I've ever seen it.
44:43With devastating consequence.
44:45You better go! It's coming!
44:48Proving once again.
44:51That we are no match for the world's deadliest weather.
44:58Oh dear God.
44:59That we are no match for the world's deadliest weather.
