Hurricane Idalia: Insane Surge St. Pete | Sailboats Crash Steinhatchee Bridge

Video Description

Join us as we document the impacts of Hurricane Idalia along Florida's Gulf Coast in August 2023. We capture intense footage in Tampa and St. Petersburg as the storm approaches, with people boarding up homes and clearing out stores. When Idalia makes landfall, our cameras are rolling from Tampa Bay to Steinhatchee, FL, capturing the eye wall and storm surge. We film the raging Steinhatchee river created by the surge that literally changed the flow of the river. The most insane moment comes as sailboats torn from their moorings crash into the Steinhatchee bridge right in front of us. We traveled over 200 miles along the Florida coast to document the flooding, structural damage, and rescue operations from this devastating hurricane. Discover the incredible intensity and impacts of Hurricane Idalia with our up close look at the storm. Witness hurricane force winds, torrential rain, and catastrophic flooding across cities like Tampa, St. Petersburg, Keaton Beach, St. Pete Beach, Gulfport and more. This is a must-see look at one of the strongest hurricanes to hit Florida's Gulf Coast. For another look at the storm, please visit @WxChasing
