Hurricane Lili Chase Intercept:
Interception, penetration, and observation of Hurricane Lili as it made landfall in Southwestern Louisiana near Abbyville and New Iberia, Louisiana. The storm was an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 145 MPH that weakened to a category 2 with winds just over 100 MPH at time of landfall.

The chase involved a long drive out of Florida on October 2 to the primary target area of Abbyville, Louisiana. During the evening of October 2, Jeff Gammons and Chris Collura met up with several chasers from the central US. The "base" was a school in Abbyville to observe the storm. Near midnight, Lili had 140 MPH+ winds and made a slight jog to the right so we all adjusted our target using highway 18 to a hotel in New Iberia. Lili continued to weaken over up-welled cooler water near the landfall point to 120 MPH, then 100 MPH at landfall at 8 AM on October 3, 2002.

We have put together a 55 minute highlight video with footage of our chase intercept with Hurricane Lili during October 2002 in south Louisiana. Watch from the start to the end of the chase as we setup in Abbyville and New Iberia, Louisiana. Views of us moving around in the northern eyewall and recording and interacting with the winds near 100mph.

See how Hurricane Lili looked at landfall and watch how we move around during the worst. Bonus music video highligh mix at the end of the tape!!!
