Footage in the eye wall of Hurricane Michael while driving along Highway 98 in the extreme winds and flying debris as I drive past the hotel that the crew was staying in.

Shot Description

Clip 1 Raw driving shot on highway 98
Time Code 00:00 9:02 for clip 1

At Time Code 00:00 starts with going over the bridge driving southeast on 98 with tons of debris flying at me.

At Time Code 03:22 I come up towards the hotel the crew was staying in. Insane amount of debris flying at me.

I keep going down the road for about a block or two until I turn around due to the dangers of the situation.

Time Code of turn around is 4:30 All while trying to do an interview with Inside Edition. Turns out I have an Android phone which did not work for Facetime.

Time Code 4:46 massive large sheet metal debris in the road like some scifi monster as I'm going with the wind towards the northwest and driving towards the eye that was only about five miles away.

Time Code 4:54 coming back towards the hotel as debris is flying all around me.

Time Code 5:10 Surge Starts, time to go and try and making it further inland and take shelter in the eye of the hurricane from the surge.

Continue to drive in whiteout conditions to the northwest

Time Code 6:12 More storm surge rapidly coming in and I'm basicly driving blind in the storm surge on Highway 98 to get to higher ground before it gets worse or die.

Pretty much you could say I was surfing the surge.

Time Code 7:08 back at the bridge and I stop to look around and see the surge is coming in rapidly out the side window and leave to keep heading northwest and to the eye.

Time Code 8:33 Turning around to leave to go to the eye and continue to the northwest.

Clip 2 - 4 Time Code 9:02 Footage from inside the eye.
