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.
10:54Mhm.
10:55If there's no, no wardom.
10:56The tornado was a unique feeling.
11:23The pressure drops, it gets very dark.
11:28The only thing that you saw was black.
11:36The only light that we had were transformers blowing up away from us.
11:48We both thought that we were going to be airborne at any moment.
11:55You had thousands and thousands of small debris fields just slammed against the side of the
12:03car.
12:05The overall roar that that tornado made is unforgettable.
12:12Once 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
12:26of the Jeep that very easily could have came through the windshield.
12:33I think that we both knew immediately how close we came to possibly losing our lives.
12:45Hurricane Milton is now just hours away and tornadoes are being reported in several towns
12:51and cities across the East Coast.
12:54120 kilometers south of Kobe and Eli, storm chaser Morgan has roped in a friend to help
13:00him tail a tornado in the ordinarily sleepy town of Wellington.
13:04Look at that thing, look at that thing.
13:06We were aware of the Wellington EF3 tornado because we were watching it on radar for about 20 miles
13:14beforehand.
13:15And then we saw this gorgeous, large, destructive cone tornado occurring about five miles south
13:23of us.
13:25It was this large, gray, almost mean looking cone tornado.
13:32And you could already see that it was lofting debris high into the air.
13:41Tornadoes generally don't move particularly fast, but they can really switch direction very quickly indeed.
13:47They're being fed by the thunderstorm above them.
13:50So 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.
14:06And then as it moved closer to populated areas, you could see even more debris.
14:12And it take on this even darker, more angry gray color.
14:21And outside the side of our passenger side window, you could see just debris being thrown through the air.
14:28And 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.
14:43After being this close, it's given me a whole new respect for Mother Nature and for the fact that she cannot be tamed.
14:50Australian sailor Peter Lukursky spends his life aboard his 42-foot sailboat, filming his nautical adventures and sharing them online.
15:12I've got to make sure I'm attached to my lifeline.
15:19I've lived on a boat, well, since 2008.
15:23And I'm married to the sea.
15:27What do I love about the sea?
15:29Well, there's less people.
15:32And there's a lot of adventure.
15:35You can live this very, very healthy life.
15:39I love it.
15:41Early to bed, early to rise.
15:43Sailing is just a very simple life.
15:47It's 2020.
15:49And Peter is exploring the San Blas Islands in the Caribbean Sea.
15:54That whole coastline is absolutely beautiful.
15:58But when it comes to summertime, the wet season, the mountains tend to be lightning magnets.
16:07And so the closer you are, then you're more likely to get hit.
16:12That was just over there!
16:14I mean, to get hit by lightning, it's pretty rare.
16:19You know, I figured I was quite safe.
16:22Peter is used to riding out extreme weather.
16:24But 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 and with no means of communication.
16:47To describe the moment it hit, it's just so quick.
16:52I can't tell you what was going through my mind, but it felt like some percussive force hitting me in the back.
17:00It's so bright as it's like completely white.
17:04It's so crisp. It's a sizzling, stark crack.
17:12Like a whip.
17:14Lightning is known to be deadly and extremely dangerous as it's got a lot of electricity and is hotter than the surface of the sun.
17:21If you find yourself getting struck by lightning in water or even nearby, it could be the equivalent of putting a toaster in a bathtub.
17:29Water is a conductor of electricity and the end result would be electrocution.
17:36The lightning travelled down the mast and around the body of the aluminum boat, cracking the frame.
17:41I could see molten metal falling around my ears.
17:49I checked all the compartments.
17:55It's just nothing.
17:57Went straight to the hatch and I lifted it up.
17:59And as I lifted up, I just heard this waterfall in the middle of my boat.
18:04Check out there, people. A river in my boat.
18:07The lightning travelled down the mast and around the body of the boat, cracking the frame.
18:14But with no hole immediately apparent, Peter begins to suspect the damage to his boat might be below the water line.
18:22So armed with a torch, he dives in.
18:24I went to all the most logical places and then, of course, I saw this flap hanging down.
18:37The hole really was about that big.
18:40So a hole like that would sink a boat like mine in three minutes.
18:46And so I jumped in the dinghy, I got some plastic bags and this very sticky plastic tape.
18:53And I thought I'd go and find the hole, plug it, and then that should reduce the flow.
19:00This 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.
19:10I was actually feeling quite chuffed with myself.
19:12But the commotion in the water has attracted another dangerous issue.
19:19A school of bull sharks.
19:22People said, oh, won't you worry?
19:23Well, I didn't want to lose my home. That's the most important thing.
19:29Luckily, the sharks keep their distance.
19:32And Peter's plugging means his boat stays afloat until he can find help.
19:36Hear that, people?
19:40Nothing. Silence.
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. Done.
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, I must admit, the awesomeness of lightning, it's amazing.
20:12Volcanoes are Earth's fiery titans, highly unpredictable by their very nature.
20:23Where explosive force and deadly beauty collide in unstoppable destruction.
20:30This tourist in Iceland is risking his life to shoot the perfect shot.
20:38Standing perilously close to a volatile lake of lava that is burning its way down a mountain in Iceland.
20:45Following the eruption of Fagradalsviat, Geldinggadalir volcano in August of 2021.
20:52Woo-hoo!
20:55Suddenly, the lava flow increases dramatically, spewing gallons of molten rock into the air,
21:03narrowly missing the foolish photographer as it rages along its flaming path.
21:07But, when the majestic Mount Dukono begins to erupt in North Halmahira, Indonesia, in August of 2024,
21:19absolutely no one is stopping for photos.
21:23Instead, the terrified tourists run for their lives, trying to get as far as possible from the mind-blowing mass of rock and dust, billowing from the beast.
21:33The unauthorized climbers were warned that the volcano was on high alert, and told to remain within a three-kilometer radius of the peak.
21:44Yet, they still ventured in to the highly hazardous area.
21:48Miraculously, there were no reported injuries, and all the climbers escaped with their lives.
21:55But they might think twice before breaking the rules in the future.
21:59In the future, there was no doubt in the future.
22:09October 9th, 2024.
22:12A record-breaking 46 tornadoes hit Florida, paving the way for Hurricane Milton, which is brewing over the Gulf of Mexico.
22:20One of the more severe of them has torn across the town of Wellington on the east coast.
22:27Tornado in progress! Tornado in progress!
22:29Narrowly missing Storm Chaser Morgan.
22:33And now, it's hurtling east towards West Palm Beach, the home of Danielle Watson and her husband, Robert.
22:40I remember that I had heard that there were tornadoes happening in South Florida.
22:48Robert had gone outside and was looking at some sort of weird clouds happening outside.
22:56This is so low.
22:58I know, I'm watching it.
22:59We could see the wind shifting, the clouds kind of stirring in a circle.
23:06And we saw, as it approached, a lot of debris flying in the air.
23:12And just, you can see it in a circular motion.
23:14And I honestly thought we were relatively safe, being as naive as that is.
23:23Oh, my God.
23:28Oh, my God.
23:30And then it just seemed to come towards us, and then it was here.
23:36Oh, my God.
23:37What I remember the most is just all the debris hitting the houses, and the noise of the glass breaking, and things just flying.
23:52It was just gray, grayish, and 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, I would have used better judgment, and would have gotten into a safe place.
24:24I was in shock.
24:25I had never seen anything like this in my life.
24:27As the tornado passes directly over Danielle and Robert's house, it picks up a garden chair and smashes it into the sliding glass door.
24:38One of the two got picked up and just thrown right against the slider.
24:44It was quite terrifying.
24:48It was quite terrifying.
24:49I honestly was fearful that the roof was going to get ripped off.
24:55The intensity and the power of this was so much.
25:03To see that just get picked up like magic and then thrown up against the slider.
25:10I'll never forget that.
25:11That was just very frightening to me.
25:13The 241-kilometer-per-hour whirlwind was later categorized as an EF-3 tornado.
25:22May please get inside.
25:25Meaning it's severe, having caused significant damage to hundreds of holes.
25:31We just walked out front, saw the destruction.
25:38The street was just lined with debris.
25:41We were both stunned.
25:42Our community had been so devastated in five minutes.
25:54Back in Lahaina, on Maui, a wildfire fueled by hurricane-force winds reaches the harbor.
26:14The street is on fire.
26:16Emma and Chrissy are desperately trying to escape the flames.
26:19People came running through and they were like, the fire's here.
26:24It's like, get out.
26:25We have to go.
26:27I think we're going to leave into the flames.
26:30We've got to get out of here.
26:32And there's really only one option.
26:33I grabbed a 10-foot skiff and I started shuttling people out of the harbor.
26:42At a certain point it was like darkness because there was so much smoke and it's like you're driving in the dark, you can't see anything.
26:56It literally looks like we're in hell.
27:04And then we kind of like sat there for a second and like look back and like just the town is like disappearing.
27:12We couldn't do anything.
27:16We couldn't go back in.
27:18And we're just like, what do we do now?
27:22The couple has no choice but to wait in the water and hope the fires die down.
27:27As the hours pass and darkness falls, they watch helplessly as the flames consume their hometown.
27:37We were like, well, we can't just sit here and 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, get them out of the water.
27:49As we turn into the harbor, the waves were actually on fire from the amount of fuel and ash and oil that was on the surface of the water.
28:04And it was like this apocalypse that we had just driven the dinghy into.
28:10Be careful right here.
28:12We were getting bombed by, it was like fire debris.
28:20We were really afraid of like our clothes catching on fire, of like anything catching on fire.
28:25And then like, what are we going to do, dunk ourselves in the fuel water?
28:30Despite their fears, Emma and Chrissy spend hours helping the Coast Guard rescue exhausted islanders from the water.
28:38Some of them children.
28:42Like having a purpose felt better than sitting there and watching helplessly as like your town disappeared before your eyes.
28:52By morning, most of the fire has burnt itself out.
28:57After 18 hours at sea watching their town turn to ashes, suffering from smoke inhalation and exhaustion, the 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.
29:26It was like a war zone.
29:28Everything's gray, black, everything's smoky.
29:33You know, there's no green.
29:37The wind had stopped.
29:40There were no more explosions.
29:43Silence.
29:47No birds chirping.
29:50No leaves moving in the wind.
29:52102 people lost their lives in the Maui fire, making it one of the deadliest wildfires in US history.
30:08Over 2000 structures were destroyed and federal officials estimated the cost of the damage to be well over $5 billion.
30:16Emma and Chrissy feel lucky to have escaped with their lives.
30:22Emotions.
30:25They're up, they're down.
30:26There's anger.
30:27There's sadness.
30:28There's hope.
30:29Emotions.
30:30I'm grateful every single day that I am safe, that Chrissy was safe, and you know, the loss is tragic.
30:40And so that's ever present.
30:42But I think it's just as present as the gratitude of being alive and being safe.
30:47safe as those in Maui know the ocean is a force of relentless power and untamed
31:07fury it's a typical day at Pierpoint Beach in California in the US when the
31:15waves suddenly turn sinister speeding towards the sea wall but the waves are too strong for some and
31:31they get dragged under and pulled along as far as 50 yards sustaining multiple injuries the flooded
31:42town is thrown into chaos as traffic comes to a standstill perfectly demonstrating the pure power
31:49of the ocean it's late evening in this small village in Northwest Greenland when a tsunami
32:01hits the houses 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 the seriousness
32:21of the situation becomes inescapable as more and more houses are ripped from their foundations and
32:29carried away by the water the wave continues to push its way inland causing locals to run in search of
32:44higher ground the person filming managed to escape the water but reports later confirmed that four
32:52people were tragically killed the Havasupai reservation bordering the Grand Canyon Arizona in the United States
33:08is one of America's most remote settlements only accessible by helicopter or on foot each year thousands
33:19of 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 cutting 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 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
34:10what 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
34:23Clayton Worthen from Las Vegas and his wife Shelly love spending time outdoors
34:33Avasupai 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
34:50on the way down it's typical like rock paths
34:55but 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
35:12then trek further down to their campsite in the base of the canyon
35:17we checked the weather before we went down it had rained the night before and there was rain in the
35:25forecast and it was supposed to rain lightly yeah was the big thing for like 20 minutes and then it was
35:32going to be done it sprinkled for probably about 45 minutes and then it started coming down heavyish
35:39and we were in our tent we had six of us in there you 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
35:57to start moving within moments I was dragged shed to toe and then as we start moving waterfalls are
36:05forming look at that water coming over that side 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
36:17bit past this bridge and it says once you get up above this bridge you'll be fine
36:23and there's just kind of this questioning and is this it is this the danger we were worried about
36:29and it felt like everything was fine but in the rush to leave camp the group separates with half of
36:37the party yet to arrive at the bridge conditions rapidly start to change all of the rain had
36:43stopped but then we watched the water rise and rise the hair on the back and that kind of stands up a
36:50little bit you say something's going on I need to start moving we have to really get to high ground so
36:57then we ended up walking up this plateau at least like 30 40 feet above the original ground spot that we were on
37:03and into that water course over that bank
37:06all 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
37:18in just a few moments
37:26the pathway is entirely engulfed by the flowing rapids leaving clayton shelley and the rest of the
37:34group stunned and terrified and we ended up watching the whole flood come through
37:41i can't believe that just missed us and just passed us
37:48and once that kind of died down we knew that we were safe
37:53so we were relieved that our group was all back together finally
37:59as the group start to hike upwards back towards the village
38:05it becomes clear that this isn't an isolated incident
38:09the further up the canyon it had come down hard
38:14the habit soup life falls went from one of the prettiest things i've ever seen
38:21to this just disgusting reddish brown blood
38:27it'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 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
39:08once you finally got there it was like touching that ground was like oh my gosh i'm safe
39:16we learned a lot of lessons that weekend things can change very quickly
39:21mother nature has its own own agenda and we for sure saw it that weekend
39:27yeah absolutely
39:29back in florida 60 kilometers up the coast from where danielle and robert's house was trashed
39:40by a tornado another of hurricane milton's whirlwinds has hit the city of stewart
39:47all right we'll take you in this time destroying the home of joanne and john coleus
39:53this is the tv family type room actually when we first saw the tornado we saw at this window here
40:02joanne was in here watching the tv and i was actually sitting in a chair by the front door
40:09because i had my phone and was watching the radar and knew it was coming from that direction
40:15john and i made the decision that the pantry was going to be the safe space
40:19tv was going off all the time with the weather alerts and then i started seeing the debris
40:28light debris at first not anything big and heavy but it was flying by obviously it was debris off
40:37like shingles off of off of buildings and stuff ching ching ching ching you know on on top of our
40:43roof and on this just ching ching ching and that's what was that's what you could hear at first
40:48and then when joanne saw the debris she came running in there and by that time i my ears started
40:57popping and i knew that was the i knew that was big trouble and i yelled tornado pantry
41:07we were calling the dog to try to get the dog to come in the pantry and the dog wouldn't come
41:12i closed the door of the pantry couldn't get the dog things got worse and worse
41:17you just felt this pressure in the house moving the house just it was like a person
41:24does a giant sneeze it's like when you sneeze you go i chew right and the house just went up you can
41:34see the actual ceilings that start to rise and then hot chew ceiling just came down it was violent to the
41:43ground just didn't know what to expect next if we walk out of this pantry is a wall gonna fall on us
41:51is there another tornado behind it it's intimidating you just don't know what's going to happen next
42:02when it was over everything was so quiet and still
42:07then 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 dug it
42:21out it was only you know seven months old at the time yeah i think that the roof lifted and when it
42:28lifted it popped the drywall and cracked the drywall it looked like it was snowing it just kind of trickled
42:38down like snow big snow piles all over our furniture all over our dog it was just everywhere
42:49hundreds of houses in the area were damaged and on the couple street four homes were completely destroyed
43:01hours 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
43:13we're never take a storm for granted john and i feel we are lucky to survive and we're lucky you know
43:21we didn't lose our dog that day in florida was absolutely historical i don't think florida has
43:30ever seen a day like that in their history before mother nature is extremely powerful and nothing that you
43:38can do can alter its course one 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 and this was a maybe a once in a lifetime event
43:59something that that hopefully we'll never see again
44:16the weather tornado 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 you better go it's coming
44:47proving once again proving once again that we are no match for the world's deadliest weather oh dear god
