They're... probably not leaving. Like, where they're at right now, if that car gets out from under cover it's probably going to start doing acrobatics. Maybe it's got some hella' mods of some sort on it, but...
The car is inside a car wash building apparently, which is decent cover. It's squat and heavy. And a car can't take impacts all that well, but at least it'll hit that instead of you.
Eh, it can make a difference, just only so much of one. Cat 1 or 2 or so and I wouldn't see it as sketchy as I do at th'mo' (hell, I've been outside in winds at those levels before, if far enough inland a lot of the worst of it was mitigated even with the winds going as strong), but... that ain't a cat 1 or 2. Or 3. Hit'll transfer through a vehicle even if it doesn't puncture, winds like that can take down just about anything civilian if it hits it the right way, etc., etc.

They're not going anywhere. Even shielded the car is rocking back and forth. It wouldn't be able to move under its own power if it went out there.

That reminds me of the guy who basically built a tank so that he could drive it through a tornado. Granted, a tornado lasts a hell of a lot less time than a hurricane.

It would certainly be moving though.

He just mentioned the pressure is down around 939mb, which is pretty impressive.

I'm shocked that this streaming site is still up. Their second most popular feed is a dozen people, compared to this 65-70k.

Edit: The roof of the car wash is peeling off.

They lost the roof that they were under a while ago. Big shower of debris being blown past the car now.

This guy really needs to make his screams of excitement sound less like screams of having been impaled by a flying object, I've tabbed over in a panic a few times now.

Feed is gaining viewers at about 1000 every 7 seconds. Guess word got around of "Hey, watch this guy that's about to die on live stream"

The site seems to be failing too. Stream keeps getting interrupted for me.

Live feed seems dead? Refreshing just shows the last couple seconds of chaotic something.
