Jeff Piotrowski (storm chaser) Hurricane Harvey live stream

Shit this is like a season-ending cliffhanger. Do they make a break for it and risk finding a better place for when the wind picks up again? Or do they stay where they are and hope they don't die?
 
Does it have Jeff?
No.
Does it have a Blue Shed?
No.

What's the point.

Is that actually it? How the fuck is that thing still standing?! lol

Smaller footprint, few areas for air penetration. I'm more surprised the car wash stalls held up as well as they did. Their design makes it very easy for high winds to push through and just rip them apart.

I'm pretty sure the building that collapsed was the office attached to the car wash judging by the way Jeff was describing nearby debris (and before it cut out again you could see network cable and general office stuff strewn about).

Yeah there was a table and other furniture. There's like no protection at all for the shed though. Winds of 140mph and not a scratch.

All this suspense and drama aside I do feel bad for all these people having parts of their lives just totally trashed.

This is how it normally looks. Curious to see what the aftermath photos look like.

Jeez. This is when it starts getting serious from the internet having fun with storm chasers and blue sheds. There's going to be so much damage and probably some loss of life.

I can't imagine being a business owner who's going to lose their entire livelihood because of this. Hell the people that own that carwash are fucked.

Man, that's insane. The projected path is really nightmarish because it's looking like it's going to go north-northwest then loop back south while retaining a LOT of strength for the next day or two.
 
Someone in another scope said that school was a shelter and people were inside.. hope that isn't true :/
The town was officially evacuated. I doubt they'd set up a shelter in an officially evacuated town.
 
It's hard to imagine a solid brick building like that just being swept away, unless it was right on the water and a tidal wave hit.
 
Can you not view the earlier recording? Do I have to get the app or something? Only shows a 2 minute clip, where he talks about being in the eye and all the buildings behind him having collapsed.

Edit: Nevermind, I just didn't understand Periscope.
 
The best thing is now on periscope every stream has people asking where Jeff went. I even joined one from Monterrey Mexico and someone said Donde Esta Jeff?
