Hurricane Hugo - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Hurricane Hugo - Luquillo, Puerto Rico - September 18, 1989

Descripción:
This is my Hurricane Hugo chase video. The footage was taken during Hugo's landfall on the northeast tip of Puerto Rico at Luquillo. In my 25 years of hurricane chasing, this remains, overall, the best footage I have ever been fortunate enough to capture. Though I have been in stronger hurricanes, given that Hugo was a borderline category three/four and the strongest portion of the eyewall passed directly over my location (during daylight hours), I had the rare opportunity to document the full force of an intense hurricane at a direct coastal location. Though significant damage begins about 8 minutes into the video, the peak winds occur between 10 through 21 minutes in, and are sustained near 130mph with gusts to 150-160mph. An anemometer on the island of Culebra (just offshore Eastern Puerto Rico) reported a peak gust of 170mph when the same portion of the eyewall passed over that location a couple of hours prior to reaching Luquillo.

I was 15 when it hit our area, Las Piedras. I remember dad taking us out to see how the sea birds passed our house searching protection. We were with all the family and my mom's sister. The water came in trough the electric plugs in the wall. We were without water for two weeks and without light for one month. El Yunque was like elrapto says, like it was badly burned and all the houses were covered in leaves plastered to the wall.
