Interesting tropical cyclone photos and videos that I've taken over the years
In 2004, we experienced three tropical cyclones, Charley, Frances, and Jeanne in 6 weeks in central Florida |
|
| Here's video from our backyard around 2:00 AM on August 13 during Hurricane Charley | |
On September 5, we evacuated to a hotel in Orlando during Hurricane Frances |
|
A few weeks later, on September 26, we boarded up our house and rode-out Hurricane Jeanne. We lost power for 5 days. |

In 2008, Tropical Storm Fay dumped over 25" of rain in east-central Florida |

|
| Measured nearly 15" of rain and recorded wind gusts over 40 mph with my Davis VP2 weather station The eye of the storm passed directly over my house a 4:00 AM on August 20 as shown by the calm winds |

 |
| A drain pipe was lifted out of the ground at the Suntree golf course |
A car drove into water that was too deep |
 |
 |
| The retention ponds in our subdivision couldn't handle all the water a overflowed onto the roads |
|

 |
| Most of the palm trees were toppled and after the water receded, the fish were left behind near the road |
