1. That's a great watch

2. I thought so to

It really gives a good picture of what hurricane winds can do.

That's not even the whole picture either as they mention at the end, storm surge, flood waters etc.

3. That video should have emphasized that the dangerous wind blows for HOURS.

That is what a lot of people do not realize.

Not only is it the strength of the wind, but it is the hours and hours of non-stop blowing, and THEN,
more, from the opposite direction as the eye passes.
You can go mad from hearing it all day or night or both, depending on speed.
and then, for weeks and months later, any strong breeze can trigger the memory.
Definite PTSD can occur from a bad hurricane.
My cat had anxiety ever time it rained, after a hurricane, poor thing.

4. Good point

That howling wind noise for hours and hours and hours, yikes.
