Multi-Media
Hurricane Michael (2018)
Hurricane Isaac (2012)
Hurricane Katrina (2005)
Katrina generated awesome surfing conditions along the Florida Panhandle. This video shows footage along with some pretty heavy music. I will not post surfing/ playing videos from the area of greatest impact, as such actions are life threatening. Away from the landfall zone, however, Katrina generated great surfing conditions in Texas and Florida.
Hurricane Ivan (2004)
Great video of waves slamming a pier early on, footage of wind and surge in different parts. Check out the massive erosion visible on the morning after, at around 10:10 in the video. Sharp cuts in the dunes.
Hurricane Opal (1995)
Hurricane Eloise (1975)
