OPEK at Club Cafe featuring Korel Tunador on Sax, Performing Sun Ra
Переглядів 61Рік тому
This is a vintage video from Club Cafe (Pittsburgh, PA), circa 2000. It was recorded with a hand held camera before we wired the club with sophisticated video and audio capture systems. So this is one of the very early performances soon after we opened the club in late 1999. This performance is by the big band OPEK, led by Ben Opie. This video features a short segment of a nearly hour long Sun ...
Sanibel Island: Timelapse of Hurricane Ian
Переглядів 449 тис.Рік тому
This is a time lapse video from the rooftop of our condominium on Sanibel Island. It was shot a day before (and day of) Hurricane Ian's arrival to the island. The camera failed just before the storm surged reached its maximum destruction yet you can still see the enormous power and scope of the storm. This was a once-in-500 year weather event. If humanity does not collectively address climate c...

    We stayed there in May at Sand Pointe Condo's building 2 before Ian came and changed the island. It lost it's roof since it faced the Gulf while building 1 lost shingles on the end facing the gulf. The restaurant next door the Sandbar was swamped but the structure stood. From what I have seen from videos of Wes Gulf Dr. the Sandbar is gone now, flattened and removed. Which is so sad as it was a great steak place. We literally walked next door from Sand Pointe. We hope to return to Sanibel next year and stay at Sand Pointe again if possible.

    Insurance companies are dropping people that live by the shore here in Florida. They are losing too much $$ with hurricanes, wildfires, floods, blizzards, etc. Eventually, with enough destruction, Florida might go the way of Galveston & do a Eminent Domain along the shorelines. Flood insurance is going up like crazy and like I said, the insurance companies are now dropping policies or no longer doing insurance in Florida. Florida isn't cheap like it use to be.

The surge is scary....how do moored boats and yachts ride out a hurricane if the storm surge is 16ft high....?

  • @Legoman775

    The news kept saying Ian was going to miss us and that it wasnt going to be that bad. The night before warned and told everyone to evacuate and that it was going to be a Cat 5 hurricane. We stayed through it seeing as there was no where for us to go this late and it was the most terrifying experience. We sat in the house listening to our roof literally being ripped apart while fences and debris were being lifted up and thrown around outside the windows. Around 12:30pm when the camera in this video went out is when all hell broke loose, power went out, water lines ruptured, emergency alert sent a message saying "it is no longer safe to be outside". The winds recorded somewhere around 150mph and gusts of up to 180mph i believe. Its incredible that our roof remained somewhat intact though we did get water leaking in every single room, through light fixtures etc.

      You can find some pictures of afterward, but if memory serves, the island was basically just rubble. I want to say the entire island was submerged. The images you can find basically showed most of it just destroyed. There's some updated videos of it.

    your footage is so amazing and also frightening.. the sped up timelapse is so eerie how you can see the rotation.. sucks that the camera stopped but as a Floridian myself, i know well the experience of hurricanes.. i live in Orlando now, but I'd still prefer the coast.. i would love to live on the Gulf side.. I've only lived on the Atlantic.. I've lived in Fort Lauderdale, Kendall, Hallandale Beach, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne Beach, Palm Bay... Ive been thru 1992 Andrew, 1995 Erin, 1999 Irene and Floyd, 2004 Frances, Ivan and Jeanne.. (went thru Ivan when temporarily in the panhandle, then went back to Brevard to go thru Jeanne). and Ian and Nicole last year.. oh and Charley 2004 also..

    As someone who has been vacationing on Sanibel for over 25 years, and just bought a condo on the island a year and a half before Ian, it is heart wrenching to watch a place that you have loved much of your life be destroyed like this. It's like watching a friend die. Just hoping for a speedy recovery now.

    Me and my family have spent many happy holidays in the Fort Myers beach area lastly in Point Estero condos. My mother has passed away and it was a place she loved and cherished, my sister can’t travel now because of the number of animals she looks after but this year I was determined to re visit our place of happiness knowing it had suffered badly after the Hurricane. I was devastated to see the structural damage sustained and the huge holes where once stood busy bars and hotels. My “perfect” Point Estero was closed due to damage sustained all its beautiful gardens and pool gone. I will admit I was nearly in tears seeing the church roof ripped off and the small row of shops now boarded up and closed. Beside many homes where RV,s no doubt the homes to those who cannot afford to fix and replace their destroyed homes and it was to them I felt the most sorrow. The big expensive homes have all been rebuilt or new ones erected but not everyone has the money or the excess insurance to cover such huge bills. Many lives changed that day 14 people lost their lives in Fort Myers beach I believe 149 in total everywhere which is a horrendous death toll. Yes the buildings can be rebuilt but those lives cannot be brought back. I walked on the beach, stared at the semblance of the pier that once was the focus of many visitors. Yes it will be rebuilt in some way but the money men will see their chance to redesign and profit so the wee vibrant village that once was Fort Myers Beach to me is gone and unlikely to be built the same way like a throwback to 50,s resorts it resembled. I have great memories of it, it’s people and charm and for that I am very thankful and I hope and pray those who list the most get their homes back their little bit of paradise restored Thanks to all who helped during the hurricane

      Beautifully said. It's heartbreaking. Ian destroyed lots of similar areas in northwest Florida and, this year, north central Florida. These places can be rebuilt but not with charm and "sense of place" that once was. Beyond sad... My aunt and uncle used to take me to the shops and restaurants in Fort Meyers Beach & we'd try to schedule our visit so we could view the sunset from the pier. 😢

I live in a part of the world which rarely has disasters such as have been suffered ( N Ireland) our climate no way could be compared with the Florida’s, hence why we loved going there!! Yes things will be rebuilt, but it will never be the small touristy hub it once was but hopefully it’s sprit will return and if am healthy enough and wealthy enough ( The US is not the cheap place it once was to visit lol) I will go back perhaps in a year if spared to see the progress.

    News flash. Sanibel is on the coast, therefore it is susceptible to hurricanes. It is NOT because of "climate change". Get over your entitled, not in my backyard mentality. Every county, municipality, and city on the eastern seaboard of the US is subject to witnessing a hurricane at any time. It has been happening for eons, yet there are still some that want to blame so called climate change on why their multi million dollar house was destroyed....
