Storm chasers documenting the wrath of Hurricane Harvey got a front row seat into the eye of the storm Friday evening as they braved fierce conditions to film the natural phenomenon.
Footage uploaded to YouTube purports to show one brave soul, Reed Timmer, film what he describes as Hurricane Harvey’s ‘eye wall’ through heavy rain and 140mph winds.
Experts say the eye wall refers to the the part of a hurricane just outside the center, where the storm is most active.
Reed, who describes himself on social media as an ‘Extreme Meteorologist’ who ‘Loves to chase tornadoes, hurricanes, and winter storms,’ pinned the footage to the top of his Twitter account, describing the experience.
‘VIDEO part 1: intense eye wall of category 4 HURRICANE #HARVEY from Rockport, Texas. We are now in calm of eye,’ Timmer wrote.
Officials say the Category 4 Hurricane has left Texas reeling by ‘catastrophic’ flooding and ‘widespread devastation’ on Saturday after the monstrous storm slammed into the state leaving at least one person dead and another 14 injured, and is projected to cost Texas $40 billion in clean-up.
