<p>Photographer and Florida local Jerry Pike, speaking to Insider, said that he saw the storm hit the Independence of the Seas while he was seated in his car in Jetty Park facing the port. He said that although the storm lasted only minutes, it was "exceptionally strong."</p>

<p>Pike stated that the winds must be at a speed of 40 and 50 miles per hour when the storm was at its height which he stated was "terrifying" to watch. A meteorologist for Fox 35 later clarified that the winds had reached the speed of 55 to 60 miles an hour at their peak strength.</p>
