This is my Hurricane Hugo chase video. The
footage was taken during Hugo's landfall on
the northeast tip of Puerto Rico at Luquillo.
In my 25 years of hurricane chasing, this
remains, overall, the best footage I have
ever been fortunate enough to capture. Though
I have been in stronger hurricanes, given
that Hugo was a Category Four and the
strongest portion of the eyewall passed
directly over my location (during daylight
hours), I had the rare opportunity to
document the full force of an intense
hurricane at a direct coastal location.
Though significant damage begins about 8
minutes into the video, the peak winds occur
between 10 through 21 minutes in, and are
sustained near 135mph with gusts to
160-170mph. An anemometer on the island of
Culebra (just offshore Eastern Puerto Rico)
reported a peak gust of 170mph when the same
portion of the eyewall passed over that
location a couple of hours prior to reaching
Luquillo. Tags :HurricaneHugoSevereWeatherStormsTropicalCycloneTyphoonPuertoRicoHurricanes1989ExtremeWindDisaster
