http://www.hurricanetrack.com This is basically raw video of the eye of hurricane Ike in Galveston, Texas in September, 2008. There is not a lot to see since it is like 2:30 am local time but there are a few shots of the wind gauge showing it barely spinning, etc. You can also see the palm trees nice and still. Notice too the roar of the Gulf of Mexico later in the clip. We were right by the sea wall at the San Luis Resort and the Gulf was just about to breech the wall as the eye passed over. Once in a while a surge of water would spill over the wall and in to the parking lot. You can see the entire hurricane Ike experience, plus much more, on our DVD - "Tracking the Hurricanes: 2008" which can be purchased from our store on hurricanetrack.com.
