43 year old American storm chaser Josh Morgerman along with two of his fellow storm chasers, James Reynolds and Mark Thomas uploaded their final cut of the 12 minute video
featuring the catastrophic morning in Tacloban
City, November 8, 2013, when Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan international)
hit central Philippines.
The storm chasers placed themselves in Tacloban City to try
to get into the storm’s eye, however they received the powerful inner core
instead and even ended up rescuing people from the storm as a bonus to their
extraordinary film.
“As a storm chaser, I always want to get in the cyclone’s
eye. We knew Yolanda’s eye was going to cross the coast south of Tacloban City,
we chose to stay in the city because the storm was so extremely powerful, and
the towns to the south seemed too vulnerable. Although Tacloban City did not
get the calm eye, it did experience the cyclone’s intense inner core, which
passed right over the city.” Morgerman had told reporters.
The video that Morgerman, Reynolds, and Thomas have produced
is filled with fright from the storm but it also carried the essence of ‘love
and sympathy for the Filipino people and victims of this storm’ as this is
quoted by Morgerman about their video.
Here is the horrifying and yet heart-felt video below of the
powerful storm and unity between everyone in the building.
