Hurricane Hugo (High Quality) – 20th Anniversary – September 17-18, 1989
Posted on January 1st, 2010
Between September 16th and 22nd, 1989 one of the most infamous and disasterous hurricanes in Atlantic history, Hugo, devastated portions of the Caribbean and South Carolina. From the evening of the 17th through the morning of the 18th, the US Virgin Islands, and the northeastern tip of Puerto Rico bore the brunt of Hugo's exceptional violence.

Hurricane Hugo – Luquillo, Puerto Rico – September 18, 1989
Posted on April 29th, 2009

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 ...
