24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: He walks in with a package of food and says,

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: I'd say, I say to him, what is that? He says,

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. You want some? Well, no, I don't

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: know what it is. What is it? Well, food appears

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: here all the time. So I I walked in and

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: it had a chocolate coating on it, and that's that

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: was enough. That's all you know. So now look closely.

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: What is it? It's a wrapper with some sort of

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: snack food. Yeah, it's a dark chocolate dipped rice A

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: rice cake. Oh, I wanted to try that. I like

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: you unwrapped it and took it out. Then you realize

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: you don't like it. Well because from the top it

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: looks promising, just this coating of dark chocolate in a circle,

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: and then you flip it over. It's a rice cakes,

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: like packing. They're strawberry flavor too. It's a rice well,

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: first of all, the good. First of all, you know

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: what a rice cake is and what it isn't, so

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: you can't you know don't expect something from a rice

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: cake You're not going to get, but you know you

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: could judge it against other rice cakes. True, very true.

44
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: So as far as is rice cakes go, Bethany likes

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: it a lot. If you like rice cakes, you're gonna

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: like this. So if you don't like rice cakes, you know,

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: don't expect much from a rice cake. Why is that

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: peculiar to you? Because I just picked up because you

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: brought a piece of food in. I said, hey, what's that?

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know? Want some? There were two of them. Whatever.

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: It just it just seems like to me that you

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: would first identify what it is, then you would offer it.

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: This is related to the It's like the cousin of

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: this smells terrible. Here, smell yet this taste awful. Here,

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: try something it is. It's good as far as rice

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: cakes go, in the universe of rice cakes. I gotta

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: have gone on for two minutes about this. You have

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: on this, all right? No, No, we can move on,

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: all right. So, Uh, it's gonna be back in New

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: York City. When did you get back yesterday? I got back,

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: uh early evening because we got a mass text message

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: saying basically the Eagle has landed safely. The eagle has

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: landed safely. Yeah. Look, I wanted to stay in South Florida.

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to be there to be a part of

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: recovering whatever we could do to help people who are

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: in recovery mode. The problem was is they weren't quite

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: ready for anything we had to offer. I mean, now

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: we're starting to hear stories of rescue workers and people

69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: who work for utility companies, the alignment and this and

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: that out there trying to get power back on the

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: grid and this and that. They need to be fed.

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: So now we're hearing little stories about how there is need.

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: So that's what happens after a disaster. Yeah, there's this

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: period of like the disaster happens, and then there's this moment,

75
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, and that moment can be a couple of

76
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: days where everyone's just sort of gathering their bearings and

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, what is our reality right now?

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: And then things can start to move forward. And I

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: feel like we're in that place as far as Florida

80
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: goes with with IRMA, just sort of like okay, taking stock.

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: So if someone asked me, so, there you are living

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: in New York and they need help in Texas, and

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: they need help in definitely in Florida, now where a

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners are located, Like, well, why are

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: you so so fast to get down there and help

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: them when you have things in your own backyard in

87
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: New York that need attention to Well, yeah we do.

88
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Every community has need. But I tell you what, when

89
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: Superstore from Sandy rolled through here, it was such a

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: matter of moments till people from Texas and Florida were

91
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: knocking on our back door asking to help. So therefore

92
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: I think we help them, and next time we need help,

93
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: they'll help us. And then and then how it works

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: broke in. Yeah, Well, we had a storm here about

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: four years ago. We had a snowstorm in early October,

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: so the leaves were still on the trees choose around

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: Halloween because they canceled Halloween, and so the weight of

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: the snow on the leaves pulled limbs of trees down,

99
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: and my whole town lost power. A lot of New

100
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Jersey lost power, and we were had no power for

101
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: two days. And then Georgia Electric showed up with peaches

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: on the side of the truck and great to see

103
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: that they fixed the power The only downside was there

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: were some some Georgia boys and we have a family

105
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: a deer on my block, and they were all looking

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: to to, you know, hunt the deer guys. Those are

107
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: my dear. But if you fix my power, you can

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: have one of them. That's called venice. But it was

109
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: nice to see how they came. They said, you know what,

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: if we need to help New Yorkers would come and

111
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: help us. We're here. It's great to be able to

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: help people, and you don't You don't only do it

113
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: because you you know, you want them to want to

114
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: help you. It's not like you scratch my back, ey

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: scratch shorts. It's more it's it's it's good to help people.

116
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: It's feels good that most human beings are nice and

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: that's how we think, and we are there for other people.

118
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: It's just a handful of them that make you look

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: like shit. I know, you know what, you bring you

00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: said it. The assholes are just louder. I feel like

132
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: last night. Uh, the guy with the silver hair and

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: the glass And I'm sorry, I'm just you know how

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: it is, after you go through these things, you have

135
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: no brains, and you, of all people, more than me,

136
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I have no brains now. And before you know, Anderson

137
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Cooper was interviewing Kenny Chesney, who had a home in St.

138
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: John has been living in that community, has personal friends

139
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: and St. John that he's met going down to his

140
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: house all the time. And he had left before the

141
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: storm and his he told his friends who lost everything

142
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: in their homes, go up to my house. And they

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: all hunkered down in this little this little uh I

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: think the washer dryer room, the laundry room. And they

145
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: each took turns holding the door with a mattress so

146
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: it wouldn't blow in and kill them all. And he

147
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: was just talking about what it's like in the Caribbean.

148
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Of course, in the use territories to deal with what

149
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: what's happening there, because the winds out there were ferocious,

150
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: insane um it seemed like, and seeing it and then

151
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: hearing afterwards like what happened from the meteorologists was that

152
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: there were many tornadoes happening inside of the hurricane. So

153
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: at points you would and I was stupid about it.

154
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: I would walk out and look out this sliding glass

155
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: stores every once in a while because you're trapped in

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: this room for so long, and it's like, well, let

157
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: me go see what's going outside, going on outside, And

158
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: I would peek out every once in a while, and

159
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: you would just see like this stuff being picked up

160
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: and buildings being picked up and then just thrown and ripped,

161
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: buildings going in circles. It's like that movie Twister, but

162
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: you're actually no, it was no, I was waiting for

163
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: a cow. I did see a car though, that was

164
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean a car like being moved, yes, slingshotted in

165
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: the air. By the way, if you've ever seen Daniel drive,

166
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: it looks the same way. Yeah, during those those intense moments,

167
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: did you all did you always know in the back

168
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: of your mind, I'm gonna be okay, it's just gonna

169
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: be frustrating until we get there. Yeah. We Honestly, I

170
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: didn't think it was a big deal. Um. I mean

171
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: before I didn't think it was a big deal. Then

172
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: it started happening and it was like, Wow, this is

173
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: really serious. And then you start seeing buildings being picked

174
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: up and you're kind of like, it's not real. Um,

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: that's it. It's not real. It's not really how you

176
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: get through it? Yeah, and then it all has I

177
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: mean it lasted probably about four and a half five hours.

178
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: You do you remember anything that happened in the middle

179
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: of the craziness that made made you laugh, Like you're like,

180
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: sometimes it must get so tense everyone small. Your pressure

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: steam just need to come out, and it comes out

182
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: in the form of laughter and something like my girlfriend's

183
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: gonna hate me for saying this, but um, she passed

184
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: gas while we were we were we were while we

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: were category to while we were in the bathroom. Um,

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: were waiting in the bathroom. Yes, I was right by

187
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the eye, and uh, it made everybody laugh. Yeah, and

188
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: it made us laugh and it kind of, um loosened

189
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. Loosen up, loosen up the mood, uh,

190
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: a little bit the beginning of your vacation. No, this

191
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: was the middle. So we got there. We got there

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, really early. Um. And uh then so it

193
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: was Saturday Sunday and then you started hearing grumblings about

194
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: it Sunday that oh wow, this is getting bad. So

195
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: then Monday, Monday afternoon, everybody's like, we need to get

196
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: out of here. Um. But because St. Martin is so small,

197
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: there's not many flights, and the majority of the flights

198
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: come Saturday, and because everybody does, like you know, the

199
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: seven days spread from a Saturday to a Saturday. Um.

200
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: So there were a couple of flights to Amsterdam and

201
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: they were which I have no problem going to, but

202
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: they were all completely booked. Um. And there were seven

203
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: of us, so it was me And so if you

204
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: found you're not going to leave everyone. And I mean,

205
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, her parents are are older, and her father

206
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: just had knee and hip surgery so he moves a

207
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: little slow. So, UM, I couldn't be like, all right,

208
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: see you guys, can I ask a really mundane question.

209
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: So you rented a car, right and your car was total? Yes,

210
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: what do you do? You call the car rental planes? Yeah,

211
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: so I called the car rental place on It was

212
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: like two days after it happened. I called them, UM,

213
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: and the phone was being forwarded to a guy in

214
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the US because the car rental place we knew because

215
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: we were walking, was completely leveled. It was gone, UM,

216
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: and all the cars that were there were completely gone.

217
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: So I called them UM, and you know, he picked

218
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: up the phone and the conversation was just like, Hey,

219
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: how's it going. I was like, hey, I want to

220

222
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm getting out of here. And his first thing was, well,

223
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: how are you getting out of here? Um? Or how

224
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: are you getting out of there? Because everybody's stuck. And

225
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, they got planes coming, the

226
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: military is coming. I just need to drop off my car, um,

227
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: you know. And he's like, what was it okay? And

228
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, we're just on the beach

229
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: picking up girls, cruising. Man, It's it's all good, it's

230
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: all good. But I gotta get out of here. So

231
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: I need to know where to drop it off. And

232
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: he's like, the guy was like, are you serious? And

233
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I'm not serious. The car is

234
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Um, it's it's undrivable, but so

235
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: is every other car. What do I do? Um? And

236
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: he said, just leave the keys at the front desk,

237
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: which everybody was doing. Write your name on the envelope,

238
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: what the company was, UM, and your email address, and

239
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: just leave the key there. UM. But everything was everything

240
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: was destroyed. I rented a car. Um. Tara's sister and

241
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: husband rented a car, rented a really nice big Jeep.

242
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Destroyed what I always wonder, Like you see the Superhero

243
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: movies where they destroyed downtown and I'm like, what do

244
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: those people call their insurance? Like, you know, there's cars

245
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: on the street that get totaled by you know, and

246
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: you're like, no, let's just go into the paper work

247
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: involved in this here. And I was really no. I

248
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: was really like after it all happened and and you're

249
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: just kind of in the days, and I was like,

250
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: I gotta go check on the car because you look

251
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: out and you just see cars flipped over on top

252
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: of At that point, you're just one of many, and

253
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of walking around. You know, what about you

254
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: were tourists? What about people who were who lived there?

255
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: Did you feel weird leaving them there? I did, because

256
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you got to know some of them. Yes,

257
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of them moved into the resort area because

258
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: they didn't feel safe the day before, because they didn't

259
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: feel safe in their houses. Um. Because the resorts are

260
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: made to withstand fifty winds. And that's all they kept saying,

261
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: like everybody's gonna be good. These places are concrete, is

262
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: triple pained glass. You know, they build the places to

263
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: withstand um, these intense winds. Houses don't have triple paying

264
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: glass and no, and it was really thick and um.

265
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: So a lot of the people, a lot of the

266
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: locals moved into the resort area, um with their kids

267
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: and the families. So after it all happened, a lot

268
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: of them, we met a lot of them, and you'd

269
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: be surprised. There was a guy from New Jersey who

270
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: nine months ago moved down there, who's a dentist, UM,

271
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: an older guy, UM who went down and started to

272
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: practice down in St. Martin part time so we could

273
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: live on the beach not lived, you know, live live comfortably. Um,

274
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: cleans people's teeth every couple of days. Um. But he

275
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: was staying in there, and he was like he went

276
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: back the next day and said it's gone, like everything

277
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: is gone, Like my dental practice is gone, my house

278
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: has gone. Now. We we also saw stories of people who, uh,

279
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: we're getting very frantic because the food supplies, water supplies

280
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: are nil. And I mean there's actual I mean violence,

281
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: extreme violence. Um. We carried knives around with us whenever

282
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: we went outside. Um. There were people running around with

283
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: machetes sticking people up. Um. There were people doing like

284
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: smashing grabs where it'd be like a group of ten

285
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: people would just run into a floor and kicking every

286
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: door and just steal everything they could. And and it

287
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: wasn't like they were in there like they were looking

288
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: for money, obviously, but but if there was a case

289
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: of water, they were taking case of water. It was

290
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: more for survival looting situation. I was watching the news

291
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: in Miami. It was the opposite people. I don't know

292
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: if you saw the news. People were breaking into shoes

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: stores to save the shoes from being flooded. They were

294
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: running there's a new air Jordans. They were carrying electronics

295
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: just to make sure they weren't flooded, to make sure

296
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: they were safe from the store. Really creepy cousin, he

297
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: took a fridge out of sears to make sure it

298
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: was treated right. Was telling me that somebody got held

299
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: up at gunpoint for a generator. Yes, Um, so there.

300
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: So the next resort over, well, one of the guys

301
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: step back a little bit. One of the guys who

302
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: was in our resort was an electrical engineer. So he

303
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: was there with his family and he actually lived on

304
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: the island as well. So because everyone from the resort

305
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: that worked there disappeared, Um, because they all went home

306
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,680
