Blast from the Past: The Hurricane Charley Video

[PhotoDave219]

Well with Tropical Storm Fay well on its way to the Florida peninsula, I decided that now would be the time to repost the infamous Hurricane Charley video from 4 years back.

And now that i no longer work for the company, i have no problem outing myself as being the creator of said video.

Sorry about the low quality. I couldn't get a decent sized MPG to load onto You Tube and had to use the icky low-res.

wow! Incredible pics and video. The time stamps on the video really helped in realizing how quickly something like that can come and go and cause the type of damage it did!

For the record Dave, even if it was in low resolution, you could still see the flex on the window as you were taping it go through.

Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!

I remember watching that video with such jealousy... :lookaroun

(Not for homeowners, of course.)

I remember the video, and then thinking how lucky Tampa as a whole got out of it... while you got a cat 1 / Tropical storm...

Amazing. Why anyone would be in the pool or doing anything outside at the time is beyond me.

Yea, I love how the guard with the poncho on his hat just shakes his head.

Amazing video! That's not an announcement you're going to hear often. I wonder, do they prerecord a bunch of those? Because the speaker sounds very professional with good audio, and the prosody is dead on - unlike an automated phone system, as in "The Magic Kingdom will close at ... 1 Pm ... thank you."

 

[rainfully]

Oh I remember this... I remember this very well. :lol:

I remember arriving the next morning at CBR. Everything was in such a mess, but hats off to WDW, their cleanup seemed to be very efficient.

We're going in October this year and this is the one thing that got me nervous about going this time of year.
