- Full archive footage from Chris Collura of the Hurricane Maria interception and observation of powerful category-four (borderline 5) hurricane in southeastern Puerto Rico from its landfall on September 19 and 20, and subsequent destruction and aftermath.
Hurricane Maria was a powerful hurricane that made its way across the Atlantic from the Cape Verde Islands off Africa in the middle of September 2017. East of the windward islands, it quickly intensified, and reached category 5 strength, with 160-165 MPH winds, and struck Dominica during the night of September 18. After devastating the islands, it continued WNW towards Saint Croix and Puerto Rico a day later, reaching a staggering 175 MPH as it approached Puerto Rico. Eyewall replacement and concentric eyewalls caused the storm to weaken a bit, but widen to a larger storm with 155-160 MPH winds as it made landfall just before dawn near El Negro, Puerto Rico on September 20. The storm ripped across the island in a diagonal path, from southeast to northwest, exiting northwestern Puerto Rico as a strong category 3 storm with 120 MPH winds early on the 21st. After striking Puerto Rico and clearing the Island, the storm went back out to see to the north of Hispaniola and brushed the Turks and Caicos Islands around the 22nd. The storm began moving northward, and passed east of the Bahamas and US East coast from the 23rd onward. Continued weakening occurred to east of the USA coast, and became a tropical storm late on the 26th (or early 27th) of september. Moving slowly, but eventually re-curving out to sea, Maria continued weakening and became extra-tropical, ending its week and a half rampage across the western Atlantic.

Thanks for sharing, loved the Caguas footage! I was about 10 miles south of your location, Maria was a beast, we had gusts of over 200 mph in my location, the eye was over us for about 30 minutes…
I still remember like it was yesterday
I Thank God for my PUERTO Rican brothers. For there help and kindness. God bless us all. PUERTO RICO ❤
Thank you for sharing, i lived through this and remember how horrible it was
VERY GREAT VIDEO. FROM BEGINNING TIL THEE END. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME WATCHING. SO I AM GOING TO SNUGGLE IN TO MY BED AND REWATCH. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🙃
Nobody has corrected you on this but Hugo was 28 years ago on this date not 18 lol I know time flies
Excellent document on terrible catastrophe. Now I understand how nearly 40 inches of rain fell on Caguas on that horrible day. Just notice how the intensity of the rain increased after the eye had passed.
My beautiful land of 🇵🇷
One of my friends that I went to high school with was originally from Puerto Rico.
I remember your filming hurricane katrina it was amazing
SOY SOBREVIVIENTE DE ESE HURACAN. REALMENTE FUE ATERRADOR.
You stay safe.
Totally compelling......
Whats with the low frame rate on the night time shots?
thanks for being humorous by driving through that flooded road and splashing the car beside you while laughing, as if that person's day couldn't have been worse after probably losing their livelihood in their country.
Lol it’s the little things u know
What year was this storm and where did it head from here?
Late September 2020, Puerto Rico then SE Bahamas then recurved out to sea east of the US east coast.
@@SkyChaserCom it hit vieques Puerto Rico September 19th 2017 then hit the main island of Puerto Rico on the 20 of September an headed for Florida I remember it well an I have ptsd to this day.
Am I missing something or did I just not get it.
Watermark right in the middle of the entire video kinda sucks
stay Safe guys OMG storm is coming
Why this obstructed view?
May have had something to do with category 3-4 winds and flying debris being a potential hazard out in the open. Just a hunch though.
It looks like Ian on the radar
Paper towels fixed that problem
As an American, I felt so bad that our prez treated these people, who needed help that we could have given them, so bad. He was a disgrace--there really are no words.
Try the local government. At one point clean water & additional supplies set on the dock for four days just because they wanted to make the president look bad. Lucky some locals found out and ol’ Carmen Yulín Cruz had to distribute the supplies.
