S2E3 The Unexpected Category 5
In this episode, the team discusses one of their wildest hurricane intercepts ever: the historic Category 5 Hurricane Michael. The storm, which made landfall in Panama City, FL with 160mph winds, intensified at a frightening speed, catching forecasters and residents off guard. Jeff and Gabe share what it was like to witness one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit the United States as it ripped buildings apart directly in front of them, and how the full extent of the catastrophe only truly became clear when they drove into the worst part of the damage path. We'll also hear from special guest Matt Greene, a resident of Panama City Beach. Matt details the events from the vantage point of a local and how, through the chaos and heartbreak of the aftermath, he saw his community set aside differences to rally together.
