Watch Hurricane Odile Ravage Resort in Baja California, Mexico, in Newly-Released Video

Josh Morgerman and his crew at iCyclone.com got as close to Hurricane Odile as anyone in the weather community, and they've just released another video to show the wrath they endured.

The storm that crushed Mexico's Baja peninsula in mid-September was heavily documented by Morgerman's crew. There was so much video taken at the Cabo San Lucas hotel where they hunkered down that some of it is being released more than a month later.

In the video above, you can see the gripping footage taken shortly after Odile's eye passed over the resort, as the back end of the hurricane began to ravage Cabo San Lucas. The footage appears to be from a hotel security camera, but you can clearly see Morgerman and his crew documenting the storm and sheltering inside the damaged resort.

"Odile was the strongest hurricane landfall of 2014 in either the eastern Pacific or Atlantic basins," said weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman. "Odile tied 1967's Hurricane Olivia for the strongest Baja California landfalling hurricane in the satellite era, crashing ashore as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph on the night of Sept. 14."

Hurricane Odile killed at least five people and left inland towns in shambles, just as it did to several coastal resorts.
