Retracing the steps of my first home video recording 30 years later (7/25/24)
July 25 marked 30 years since my first home video recording. As I had done on the 20th and 25th anniversaries, I retraced the steps from that first recording. I even added a timestamp, but with a 24-hour clock instead of the original 12-hour AM/PM clock. I blurred out my parents' cars' license plate in Adobe Premiere Pro.

TL;DR These are test 4K30 videos I shot with a Canon VIXIA HF G70 camcorder while I had it. I'm posting as a public service for anyone interested in buying. LONG VERSION: I recently bought an open box Canon VIXIA HF G70 on eBay as a secondary camcorder for event videography. I like to shoot in 4K60, as I do with my primary camcorder, a Panasonic HC-X1500, but I opted for the G70 in spite of its...

WCWP Donation & Renovation Announcement (6/3/23)
I lived in East Texas we had snow and ice.
In Fort Myers, we have the "Dark Days of September." Hurricane Irma hit Fort Myers on Sunday September 10th, 2017 with winds to 84 mph. Knocked a lot of trees and tree branches down, blew down signs, tore shingles off roofs, and left a lot of people without power. And then 5 years later, disaster struck again, far worse this time, in the form of Hurricane Ian. Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers on Wednesday September 28th, 2022 with sustained winds of 150 mph with gusts easily in excess of 200 mph and up to a 30 foot storm surge on Fort Myers Beach. The storm surge leveled much of Fort Myers Beach. It leveled Plaka on the Beach, Cottage Bar, The Whale, Hooters of Fort Myers Beach, Junkanoos, and Dairy Queen, it wrecked Lani Kai and even Yucatan Bar & Grill. The storm destroyed the pier next to Times Square. Hurricane Ian even siphoned a huge surge up the Caloosahatchee River, beaching and swamping numerous boats and putting 3 feet of water into the Hideaway bar in Downtown Fort Myers. Hurricane Ian even killed a number of people, including a waitress, Bonnie, who worked at Plaka on the Beach. Inland, the storm tore roofs off several buildings, including CB2 Bar & Grill.
News reporters in 93 let’s not try get a interview with owner who just had car burn up. 2024 news reporters I don’t care what someone just went threw you go ask for an interview no matter what
I remember that schools closed 😊
Alex is increíble
What was said 7:35 about a tornado touching down in Dade County, Florida, where Hurricane Andrew caused so much damage, is incorrect. I checked the National Weather Service records and it said nothing about a tornado in that part of the state. There were tornadoes farther north in Florida, some west of Orlando. It was probably straight line winds, which would also be strong enough to blow tents away. He couldn't have seen the funnel cloud, because it happened in the middle of the night.
You mean The Weather Channel was wrong? 🤣 <<<<< My shocked face.
Michele Lee is pretty.
Target Tornado and The Enemy Wind are two of the best Weather Channel Specials!
My parents ordered Tornado: The Entity and The Enemy Wind. Only Tornado: The Entity came in 😄
I remember that bowling/Great Pumpkin clip from years back!
I remember when this first aired: September 25, 1994. My Mom's 41st birthday. This and Tornadoes: the Entity is what started my tornado obsession
Nice Mike.
@@williamchimeri6777 Thank you.
Thankfully we now have multiple ways to mount our cameras. Barely a shake in the viewfinder.
23:54 Shelia lived in a section of Arrowhead subdivision where the tornado first entered Xenia. Within a single block area, 9 people were killed. The boy she mentioned was Michael De Ehret. He was at home with his two sisters. One survived, the other died four days later. On that same corner, a newborn was ripped from his mother's arms and killed, a 7 year old boy hiding under a couch was sucked out and killed, a young mother was killed, and her little boy died at a hospital the following night. On Joyce Behnkens street, one woman died protecting her children, and a teenager from India was killed by flying debris. I recently found out his parents and sister were killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing in 1988

I miss seeing Nelson perform this at the old Jazz @ Jack's in Denver.
HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS WHEN IT AIRED THE FIRST TIME ON TWC!! I HAVENT SEEN THIS IN 30+ YEARS!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

Cool & rare!

Paramount. I guess that was a reissue.

90s-era VHS documentary videos were just AMAZING, and 90s-era CGI (The storm model, in particular) looks prettier to me than modern CGI
The movie twisters tornados look more realistic than the new movie twister. It looks completely CGI generated.
Oh wow, that's really cool! I enjoy this kind of funk sound a lot. And great to see all the musicians and the audience having fun as well!
Thank you, Martin. I'm so glad you liked it. It's always a great time at Smooth Jazz for Scholars.
Thank you for your service Firefighter Joe, I am so sorry you were so badly injured but I’m relieved to hear you made it out. 💙 343 💙

Some of these songs seem like outtakes from Snoopy the Musical since it has the same voices.
Is that Reed Timmer around 35:00? Haha
Reed was only about 14 at the time.
No, SirThomasHarber, that was you when you had a tumor in your ass.
@@Religious_manthat doesn’t sound very religious
@@harryparsons2750 Flashing a gang sign with your fingers and a cigarette in your mouth isn't religious either, just saying, friend.
Yo as a tism'd up 7 year old, I watched this dozens of times, good nostalgia and upload brother.
Thank you.
that's right lucy
Love what you do man, but I was wondering if there was a better version laying around somewhere of the Thom Huge part III interview, the audio is really rough and I can barely hear what's being said, would appreciate if it could be looked into or if nothing can be done, thanks.
I'm sorry. That was the best I could do. I recorded it from home and didn't have the proper equipment.
@@MikeChimeri It's alright and that's understandable, do you know what Thom is doing now though? There's been nothing from him in 7 years, no activity of any of the sort not even a word, or has he just completely retired and put everything behind him? Thom in my opinion deserves to be more recognized for his contributions to the cartoon industry and such, coming from a *huge* fan of thom (see what I did there?) Thom proved to me that you didn't need to be any celebrity or anyone well known in the acting industry, even a really unknown person that no one knows about could be your favorite actor, and he became my favorite voice actor because of his lively and energetic performance in the 80's Garfield media, it felt real and authentic. Not to discredit the great Lorenzo music or Gregg Berger as they're also absolute pioneers in my book along with Thom Huge.
By all accounts this should not work, but here we are. Great work!
Thank you very much.
sounding tight, great tune!❤
I was 16 and lived in southern MN. I really dont remember this on the news. At the same time, I went to Subway tonight and didnt realize I went to Subway last night too.
I've lived on Long Island all my life, so I remember this well. It was the second time in four months that my house got flooded from a coastal storm. Thank you for watching.
@@MikeChimeri Do you remember the Nor'Easter 3 months before in December 1992?
This didn't affect the Midwest, it affected the Deep South, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast.
@@ILoveOldTWC My comment was not seeing it on the news at the time. I was always looking at news and extreme weather, just dont remember seeing it on the news.
@@ILoveOldTWC I remember that Nor'Easter in December 92! First time in my memory that we had snow days in December. Most of ours are in January and February. I'm near Pittsburgh, PA for reference.
Reed Timmer is a thrill seeker lol!
He's not in this video.
@@Religious_man I know I’m just implying but I may have been drinking that night I made that comment! Four lokos!

That and a wild maniac. He doesn't abide by the traffic laws while he's chasing. He drives faster than the speed limit, drives on the wrong side of the road. He screams at the top of his lungs. I am no fan of Reed Timmer.
@@ILoveOldTWC jealousy much?
Back in my day we thought underpasses were a smart place to shelter from a tornado. 😔 This is a really awesome tornado special. Thanks for finding and uploading! This has everything 90’s, too! The haircuts, clothing, weird piano music music…everything lol
Well I’m am pretty glad this dude found this lol
The tri state tornado was shrouded with dust and debris but also was likely obscurred by rain. The tornado was huge. It had an average width of .75 miles wide. But it's peak size was 1.25 to 1.50 miles wide in Hamilton county and white county in southern illinois. The tornado likely resembled the hackelburg- Phil Campbell of 2011/04/27. Also tri state tornado survivors were shown photos of the witchita falls texas tornado of 1979/04/12, and they said the tri state tornado looked very similar to the wichita falls 1979 tornado.

Youre*
Was there. Great show
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug

thank you, a great story of resilience
I have this uploaded, but it's the "Exposures" version.
What Marty Stewart said about the 1974 tornado: "...there was a *Tornado Warning* for our city, which you always think, 'Well, it's not ever going to come here, so...'" It seems many people react that way when either a *Tornado Warning* or a *Severe Thunderstorm Warning* is issued for their area. In addition, when severe weather strikes, many people often say, "It will always happen to somebody else. It will never happen to me." This was not mentioned in this video, but it seems to be related to what she said. By far, the scariest tornado is the infamous *Tri-State Tornado* that struck on March 18, 1925. I wasn't alive back then (born in 1979), so I can't even imagine what it looked like to people describing it. The simulation of the Tri-State Tornado looks creepy, but I can't imagine being there and seeing it in person. As for myself, I've never seen a tornado in person, although I may have seen a few small funnel clouds at times. But, they may have been scud clouds that were mistaken for funnel clouds since there were no warnings when I saw them. Whether they were scud clouds or funnel clouds, they didn't cause any harm to anyone or anything in my line of sight.
Because some of it is what's called the False Alarm Rate, meaning tornado warnings for your issue, but one doesn't happen, creating a cry wolf effect.
Outstanding performance by two geniuses. I have the upmost respect and gratitude for their incredible talent and willingness to share . Thank you so much
Hey mate. Your a real man. Sorry you had to go through ordeal.
Hi Mike, again thanks for posting these! I had a technical question of sorts: Would you happen to know of a way (via an equalizer app of some sort presumably) that I could increase the base and reduce the treble on these youtube recordings? I was there that night and the driving bass added so much to the impact of the song. Either way, grateful for the postings!
You could probably do that in audio editing software like Audacity or Adobe Audition.
Great, thanks for getting back to me!

Thanks Mike for uploading these songs - what a fabulous couple of nights of music!
The part of the country the tristate tornado hit. I’ve chased several storms in the same area that have a lot of Dixie Alley attributes. What the lady was explaining is exactly what I see in high shear environments where the front leading edge looks as it rolling horizontally. But Dixie alley and Hoosier alley I’ve seen alot of (NOT RAIN WRAPPED) but fog wrapped or the forested areas seem to condense from the low pressure and it surrounds the tornado in a haze or fog. Most people immediately assume it’s rain wrapping but I’ve unfortunately got close enough to find out it’s not rain it’s just a strange fog or haze. But they become extremely difficult to see. Also it was March 18th. During the early months you usually will see tornadoes moving 45-75mph across the ground. Depending on if it’s tornado, Dixie, Hoosier, alley. But all you generally see faster forward speeds Dixie is 55-75mph is what I expect always.
You think of cornfields when you think of rural areas of Illinois. But in southern Illinois, it's not like that. There are more hills and trees, as it's close to the foothills of the Ozarks. Central and Northern Illinois are where the cornfields are (in the rural areas, obviously not in the Chicago area).
How do we know what it looked like? No pictures no video just unreliable eye witnesses
My aunt bought me this tape when I was 10
Ooh, nice. I was 12 when my dad got it for me. Thanks for watching.
