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.
10:54They're like.
10:55I'm not going to warp.
10:56They're like, oh, no.
10:57It's no怒led.
10:58No.
10:59It's a fire to the desert.
11:00No.
11:01It's a fire to the water.
11:02Just a fire to the water.
11:03No.
11:04No.
11:05No.
11:06No.
11:07No.
11:08No.
11:09No problem.
11:10No problem.
11:11No.
11:12No problem.
11:13No problem.
11:15the tornado was a unique feeling the pressure drops it gets very dark
11:26the only thing that you saw was black
11:30the only light that we had were transformers blowing up away from us
11:45we both thought that we were going to be airborne at any moment
11:52you had thousands and thousands of small debris fields just slammed against the side of the car
12:00the overall roar that that tornado made is unforgettable
12:10once i realized that it was safe i stepped out of the vehicle went and surveyed the damage
12:18there was a piece of metal fence a 48 inch piece of aluminum sticking out of the side
12:25of the jeep that very easily could have came through the windshield
12:29i think that we both knew immediately how close we came to possibly losing our lives
12:39i reckon milton is now just hours away and tornadoes are being reported in several towns and cities
12:51across the east coast 120 kilometers south of kobe and eli storm chaser morgan has roped in a friend
13:00to help him tailor tornado in the ordinarily sleepy town of wellington
13:04we were aware of the wellington ef3 tornado because we were watching it on radar for about 20 miles
13:13beforehand and then we saw this gorgeous large destructive cone tornado occurring about five miles south of us
13:23it was this large gray almost mean looking cone tornado and you could already see that it was lofting debris high into the air
13:38tornadoes generally don't move particularly fast but they can really switch direction very quickly indeed
13:47they're being fed by by the thunderstorm above them so generally if you see the skies blackening you should be wary
13:54and 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 us
14:04we decide to go ahead of it and then as it moved closer to populated areas you could see even more debris and it take on this even darker more angry gray color
14:18and outside the side of our passenger side window you could see just debris being thrown through the air and just this large tornado slowly bearing down on us
14:34this was the closest i've ever allowed myself to get to a tornado especially one of this intensity
14:41after being this close it's given me a whole new respect from other nature and for the fact that she cannot be tamed
15:02what's going on from the sea?
15:03Australian sailor Peter Lekersky spends his life aboard his 42-foot sailboat filming his nautical adventures and sharing them online
15:13I gotta make sure I'm attached to my lifeline
15:19I've lived on a boat well since 2008 and I'm married to the sea
15:26what do I love about the sea?
15:29well there's less people
15:31and there's a lot of adventure
15:34you can live this very very healthy life
15:39I love it
15:40early to bed, early to rise
15:43sailing is just a very simple life
15:45it's 2020
15:48and Peter is exploring the San Blas Islands in the Caribbean Sea
15:53that whole coastline is absolutely beautiful
15:57but when it comes to summer time
16:02the wet season
16:04the mountains tend to be lightning magnets
16:07and so the closer you are then you're more likely to get hit
16:11that was just over there!
16:13I mean to get hit by lightning it's pretty rare
16:17you know I figured I was quite safe
16:20Peter is used to riding out extreme weather
16:25but one night in October of 2020
16:28he gets an unexpected shock
16:38a bolt of lightning strikes his boat
16:41sending a large spark through the rig
16:43leaving him without power
16:45and with no means of communication
16:47to describe the moment it hit
16:49it's just so quick
16:50I can't tell you what was going through my mind
16:54but 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
17:08it's a sizzling stark crack
17:11like a whip
17:12lightning is known to be deadly and extremely dangerous
17:18as it's got a lot of electricity
17:20and is hotter than the surface of the sun
17:22if you find yourself getting struck by lightning in water
17:25or even nearby
17:26it could be the equivalent of putting a toaster in a bathtub
17:29water is a conductor of electricity
17:31and the end result would be electrocution
17:34the lightning travelled down the mast
17:38and around the body of the aluminum boat
17:40cracking the frame
17:42I could see molten metal falling around my ears
17:48I checked all the compartments
17:51it's just nothing
17:56went straight to the hatch and I lifted it up
17:58and as I lifted up
18:00I just heard this waterfall
18:02in the middle of my boat
18:04together people
18:05a river in my boat
18:07the lightning travelled down the mast
18:10and around the body of the boat
18:12cracking the frame
18:14but with no hole immediately apparent
18:17Peter begins to suspect the damage to his boat
18:20might be below the water line
18:22so armed with a torch
18:24he dives in
18:25I went to all the most logical places
18:32and then of course
18:34I saw this flap hanging down
18:36the hole really was about that big
18:39so a hole like that
18:41would sink a boat like mine
18:43in three minutes
18:45and so I jumped in the dinghy
18:48I got some plastic bags
18:49and this very sticky plastic tape
18:52and I thought I'd go and find the hole
18:56plug it
18:57and then that should reduce the flow
18:59this is special tape that sticks to wet surfaces
19:04it wasn't my finest work of plugging a hole
19:07but I thought this is great
19:09I was actually feeling quite chuffed with myself
19:12but the commotion in the water has attracted another dangerous issue
19:17a school of bull sharks
19:21people said
19:22oh won't you worry
19:23well I didn't want to lose my home
19:24that's the most important thing
19:26luckily the sharks keep their distance
19:31and Peter's plugging means his boat stays afloat
19:35until he can find help
19:36hear that people?
19:38nothing
19:41silence
19:42the bilge alarm stopped about five minutes ago
19:46the problem has been solved
19:51that'll do it
19:55well there was no more leak
19:57it was all good
19:58done
19:59I'm still going to take risks
20:01it's still going to be reckless
20:03so I don't think it's changed me at all really
20:05but
20:07I must admit
20:08the awesomeness of lightning
20:10it's amazing
20:17volcanoes are earth's fiery titans
20:20highly unpredictable by their very nature
20:24where explosive force and deadly beauty collide
20:27in unstoppable destruction
20:30this tourist in Iceland is risking his life to shoot the perfect shot
20:37standing perishly close to a volatile lake of lava
20:41that is burning its way down a mountain in Iceland
20:44following the eruption of Fagra Dalsviat Gelding Gadalir Volcano
20:49in August of 2021
20:51suddenly the lava flow increases dramatically
20:59spewing gallons of molten rock into the air
21:02narrowly missing the foolish photographer
21:05as it rages along its flaming path
21:08but when the majestic Mount Dukono begins to erupt in North Halmahira
21:16Indonesia
21:17in August of 2024
21:19absolutely no one is stopping for photos
21:24instead the terrified tourists run for their lives
21:27trying to get as far as possible
21:29from the mind-blowing mass of rock and dust
21:32billowing from the beast
21:34the unauthorized climbers were warned that the volcano was on high alert
21:40and told to remain within a three kilometer radius of the peak
21:44yet they still ventured in to the highly hazardous area
21:49miraculously there were no reported injuries
21:52and all the climbers escaped with their lives
21:55but they might think twice before breaking the rules in the future
22:04and then they might think twice
22:05they might think twice
22:06they might think twice
22:07they might think twice
22:09October 9th, 2024
22:11a record-breaking 46 tornadoes hit Florida
22:15paving the way for Hurricane Milton
22:18which is brewing over the Gulf of Mexico
22:21one of the more severe of them
22:23has torn across the town of Wellington
22:25on the east coast
22:26tornado in progress
22:27tornado in progress
22:28tornado in progress
22:29narrowly missing storm chaser Morgan
22:33and now it's hurtling east towards West Palm Beach
22:37the home of Danielle Watson
22:39and her husband Robert
22:41I remember that I had heard
22:43that there were tornadoes happening in South Florida
22:48Robert had gone outside
22:50and was looking at some sort of weird clouds happening outside
22:55this is so low
22:58I know, I'm watching it
23:00we could see the wind shifting
23:03the clouds kind of stirring in a circle
23:06and we saw as it approached
23:10a lot of debris flying in the air
23:12and just you can see it in a circular motion
23:15and I honestly thought we were relatively safe
23:20being as naive as that is
23:22oh my god
23:28oh my god
23:29and then it just seemed to come towards us
23:33and then it was here
23:35oh my god
23:40what I remember the most is just all the debris hitting the houses
23:45and the noise of the glass breaking
23:48and things just flying
23:51it was just gray
23:53grayish
23:54and you can see the debris twisting in the air
24:00I didn't realize the magnitude of what was about to happen
24:03obviously if I did
24:05I would have used better judgment
24:07and would have gotten into a safe place
24:09I was in shock
24:24I had never seen anything like this in my life
24:27as the tornado passes directly over Danielle and Robert's house
24:32it picks up a garden chair
24:34and smashes it into the sliding glass door
24:37one of the two got picked up and just thrown right against the slider
24:44it was quite terrifying
24:48it was quite terrifying
24:51I honestly was fearful that the roof was going to get ripped off
24:55the intensity and the power of this was
24:59so much
25:03to see that just get picked up
25:05like magic
25:06and then thrown up against the slider
25:08I'll never forget that
25:11that was just very frightening to me
25:15the 241 kilometer per hour whirlwind
25:18was later categorized as an EF3 tornado
25:22me please get inside
25:25meaning it's severe
25:26having caused significant damage to hundreds of holes
25:30we just walked out front
25:32saw the destruction
25:34the street was just lined with debris
25:48we were both stunned
25:50our community had been so devastated in five minutes
26:04back in Lahaina on Maui
26:10a wildfire fueled by hurricane force winds reaches the harbor
26:15the street is on fire
26:17Emma and Chrissy are desperately trying to escape the flames
26:21people came running through and they were like
26:22the fire is here
26:24it's like get out
26:26we have to go
26:27I think we're going to leave
26:30we got to get out of here
26:31and there's really only one option
26:37I grabbed a 10-foot skiff
26:40and I started shuttling people out of the harbor
26:52at a certain point it was like darkness
26:53because there was so much smoke
26:54and it's like you're driving in the dark
26:55you can't see anything
26:57it literally looks like we're in hell
27:04and then we kind of like sat there for a second
27:07and like look back
27:08and like just the town is like
27:11disappearing
27:15we couldn't do anything
27:16we couldn't go back in
27:17and we're just like
27:19what do we do now
27:21the couple has no choice but to wait in the water
27:26and hope the fires die down
27:30as the hours pass and darkness falls
27:33they watch helplessly
27:34as the flames consume their hometown
27:37we were like well we can't just sit here
27:40and just like watch all of this
27:42you know like we have to try to do something
27:45we were like let's go see if anyone else is in there
27:46let's see if we can find anyone
27:48get them out of the water
27:51look the waves are on fire
27:53be careful
27:55as we turned into the harbor
27:57the waves were actually on fire
28:00from the amount of fuel and ash and oil
28:02that was on the surface of the water
28:05and it was like this apocalypse
28:08that we had just driven the dinghy into
28:10be careful right here
28:13we were getting bombed by
28:15by
28:17it was like fire debris
28:20we were really afraid of like
28:22our clothes catching on fire
28:23of like anything catching on fire
28:25and then like what are we going to do
28:26dunk ourselves in the fuel water
28:30despite their fears
28:33Emma and Chrissy spend hours
28:35helping the Coast Guard rescue
28:37exhausted islanders from the water
28:39some of them children
28:42like having a purpose
28:44felt better than sitting there
28:46and watching helplessly as like
28:48your town disappeared before your eyes
28:51by morning most of the fire has burnt itself out
28:56after 18 hours at sea watching their town turn to ashes
29:01suffering 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
29:14it's so slick with fuel in here
29:16yeah
29:18we went into the harbor
29:20and it was gone
29:26it was like a war zone
29:29everything's gray black
29:32everything's smoky
29:33you know there's no green
29:34the wind had stopped
29:40there were no more explosions
29:43silence
29:47no birds chirping
29:50no leaves moving in the wind
30:00102 people lost their lives in the Maui farm
30:03making it one of the deadliest wildfires in US history
30:07over 2000 structures were destroyed
30:10and federal officials estimated the cost of the damage to be well over 5 billion dollars
30:17Emma and Chrissy feel lucky to have escaped with their lives
30:22emotions
30:25they're up they're down there's anger there's sadness there's hope
30:29I'm grateful every single day that I am safe that Chrissy was safe and you know the loss is tragic and so that's ever present but I think it's just as present as the gratitude of being alive and being safe.
30:45as those in Maui know the ocean is a force of relentless power and untamed fury.

30:55it's a typical day at Pierpoint beach in California in the US
30:58it's a typical day at Pierpoint beach in California in the US
31:01when the waves suddenly turn sinister
31:05speeding towards the sea wall
31:08Oh
31:16Oh
31:30are too strong for some and they get dragged under and pulled along as far as
31:3550 yards sustaining multiple injuries
31:41the flooded town is thrown into chaos as traffic comes to a standstill
31:46perfectly demonstrating the pure power of the ocean
31:52it's late evening in this small village in Northwest Greenland when a tsunami hits the
32:02houses along the shoreline at first the rising water level doesn't appear to be too
32:08concerning until some of the houses begin to float by as the wave size rapidly increases
32:19the seriousness of the situation becomes inescapable as more and more houses are
32:27ripped from their foundations and carried away by the water
32:34the wave continues to push its way inland
32:41causing 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
32:53tragically killed
32:54the Havasupai reservation bordering the Grand Canyon Arizona in the United States is one of America's most
33:11remote settlements only accessible by helicopter or on foot each year thousands of tourists make
33:20the 16 kilometer hike into the canyon to witness the area's spectacular waterfalls
33:30but in August 2024 heavy rain triggers major flash flooding
33:35look at that water coming over that side cutting off access and leaving nearly 100 hikers trapped in the reservation
33:46flash floods are when heavy rain falls from the sky and the ground just just can't cope with that
33:52volume of water flash floods can occur very rapidly generating a lot of mud as well exacerbating the flood
33:58flash floods can be incredibly dangerous because the the speed of the water currents people can be taken by surprise at the rising of that water so rapidly
34:09so rapidly what 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
34:19of their feet particularly if there's currents within that body of water
34:28Clayton Worthen from Las Vegas and his wife Shelly love spending time outdoors
34:34Avasupai is one of the most beautiful places I think a lot of hikers can go to in the southern United States it is one of the top hikes
34:44so along with 10 of their friends the couple start the trek into the canyon
34:51on the way down it's typical like rock paths
34:56but once you get down there's greenery it's lush especially as you get right into the village at the end of the hike
35:03then you start seeing those beautiful blue waters that come into play
35:06the group stop to admire the famous Havasupai Falls
35:13then trek further down to their campsite in the base of the canyon
35:19we checked the weather before we went down it had rained the night before and there was rain in the forecast and
35:26it was supposed to rain lightly yeah was the big thing for like 20 minutes and then it was gonna be done
35:34it sprinkled for probably about 45 minutes and then it started coming down heavy-ish and we were in our tent we had six of us in there
35:44you don't want everyone to get wet
35:45it got more serious as we got word from the ranger hey there's a flash flood coming down you guys need to start moving
36:00within moments I was dragged shed to toe and then as we start moving waterfalls are forming
36:07look at that water coming over that side starts to feel more and more and more serious
36:14we 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
36:24and there's just kind of this questioning and is this it is this the danger we were worried about and it felt like everything was fine
36:31but in the rush to leave camp the group separates with half of the party yet to arrive at the bridge
36:40conditions rapidly start to change all of the rain had stopped but then we watched the water rise and rise
36:48the hair on the back and that kind of stands up a little bit you say something's going on i need to start moving
36:55we have to really get to high ground so then we ended up walking up this plateau
36:59at least like 30 40 feet above the original ground spot that we were on and into that water course over
37:06that bank
37:10all right this is intense members of our group that would ended up getting separated from their
37:15spouse at that point and the river had just divided everybody
37:23the trees are going in just a few moments
37:26the pathway is entirely engulfed by the flowing rapids leaving clayton shelley and the rest of
37:34the group stunned and terrified and we ended up watching the whole flood come through
37:44i can't believe that just missed us and just passed us
37:47and once that kind of died down we knew that we were safe
37:55so we relieved that our group was all back together finally
38:01as the group start to hike upwards back towards the village it becomes clear that this isn't an isolated
38:08incident so further up the canyon it had come down hard
38:17to have a super high falls went from one of the prettiest things i've ever seen
38:22to this just disgusting reddish brown blood it's like this is just an impressive amount of power
38:30just coming down this canyon
38:35eventually the group managed to hike their way back up to the village where locals had set up an
38:41emergency shelter in a nearby school but they're still trapped within the canyon
38:48we also told that the whole hike in was completely washed out
38:56the following day the group are 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 oh my gosh i'm safe we learned a
39:17lot of lessons that weekend things can change very quickly mother nature has its own
39:24own agenda and we for sure saw it that weekend yeah absolutely
39:34back in florida 60 kilometers up the coast from where danielle and robert's house was trashed by a
39:41tornado another of hurricane milton's whirlwinds has hit the city of stuart all right we'll take
39:48you in this time destroying the home of joanne and john coleus this is the tv family type room
39:57actually when we first saw the tornado we saw at this window here joanne was in here watching the tv
40:05and i was actually sitting in a chair by the front door because i had my phone was watching the radar
40:12and knew it was coming from that direction john and i made the decision that the pantry was going
40:18to be the safe space tv was going off all the time with the weather alerts and then i started seeing
40:26the debris light debris at first not anything big and heavy but it was flying by obviously it was debris
40:36off like shingles off of off of buildings and stuff ching ching ching ching you know on top of our roof
40:44and on this just ching ching ching you know that's what was that's what you could hear at first and then
40:49when joanne saw the debris she came running in there and by that time i my ears started popping and i knew
40:59that was the end i knew that was big trouble and i yelled tornado pantry we were calling the dog to
41:08try to get the dog to come in the pantry and the dog wouldn't come i closed the door of the pantry
41:14couldn't get the dog things got worse and worse you just felt this pressure in the house moving
41:21the house just it was like a person does a giant sneeze it's like when you sneeze you go
41:29ha-choo right and the house just went up you can see the actual ceilings that start to rise
41:38and then ha-choo ceiling just came down it was violent to the ground just didn't know what to
41:46expect next if we walk out of this pantry is a wall gonna fall on us is there another tornado behind it
41:52it's intimidating you just don't know what's going to happen next
42:02when it was over everything was so quiet and still
42:08then you know the whole thing lasted like 45 seconds or so after that we thought the dog was
42:14probably gone all of a sudden over here some of this insulation started moving i came over and
42:20dug it out it was only you know seven months old at the time yeah i think that the roof lifted and
42:28when it lifted it popped the drywall and cracked the drywall
42:36it looked like it was snowing it just kind of trickled down like snow
42:40big snow piles all over our furniture all over our dog it was just everywhere
42:52hundreds of houses in the area were damaged and on the couple street four homes were completely
42:58destroyed hours later hurricane milton made landfall causing up to 85 billion dollars worth of damage
43:08and tragically taking over 30 lives i think it's important to make sure never take a storm for
43:15granted john 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 i don't think florida has ever seen a day like that in
43:31their history before mother nature is extremely powerful and nothing that you can do can alter its
43:39course
43:46one thing that i think is you prepare for the weather you prepare for storms mother nature is going to do
43:53what she wants to do and this was a maybe a once in a lifetime event something that that hopefully we'll
44:03never see again
44:16the weather tornado stay low the pulse of the earth and an uncontrollable force
44:24our island is in trouble as global temperatures rise it's my real last time i'm in my house
44:32the weather is getting more extreme it's an unspottable force and even more catastrophic
44:40it's the most active i've ever seen it with devastating consequence
44:45you better go it's coming proving once again
44:52that we are no match for the world's deadliest weather oh dear god
45:15so
45:24you
