 If I look tired it's because I am. Many of you probably know this. I'm a firefighter and I also live in Florida and we were just hit by a hurricane, Hurricane Ian. And so I just wanted to give an update about that. Luckily I didn't have to work the day of the storm but I went in the morning after yesterday and I worked my 24-hour shift and it was rough. I was up all night just running different things related to the storm. The funny thing about the storm is where I live, I live somewhat inland about a 20-30 minute drive from the coast and it was windy here but it wasn't even raining that much and I didn't think it was much of a storm. One of my biggest concerns was the tool shed I just built a couple months ago. I was worried that it was going to fly away in the storm. What I ended up doing was digging deep holes, putting these wood posts in them, filling them with cement and then putting multiple screws into the shed to hold them down. I did that like the day before the storm. It turns out I didn't need to do that because the one tree that fell on my lot fell on the shed holding it down. So I've lived in Florida for just over 32 years now and the first year I moved in we had Andrew which was a big storm, big hurricane. I was 11 at the time and just so when the storm was coming through I was actually chatting with one of my Patreons who lives over in India and I was saying to him, you know, this storm isn't that bad and he was wondering how often we get hit by storms and hurricanes come by Florida all the time but Florida is a big state and so unless you're getting hit directly by the storm a lot of the storms even though a hurricane comes by Florida doesn't mean that it's necessarily hitting me. A lot of times it's the other coast. In fact in the 30 years I've lived here Andrew was a big one and Irma five years ago was a very big one and then about 15 years ago we had Charlie and Francis kind of go by which hit some other places pretty good but you know wasn't too much just windy here by us you know knocking down trees. In fact when Irma came through back in was 2017 I actually did a video a few days after where that was a lot of rain and trees in my backyard were twisted and knocked down and I had two holes in my roof so here I am sitting here going this this storm isn't that bad. In fact I kept power this entire time a lot of my neighbors just down the street don't have power but I was able to keep power this time which is nice because last time in you know five years ago I went 14 days without power because the line to my house was knocked down so hurricanes come by Florida a lot but it's not like a yearly thing that something this bad comes by. In fact my sister-in-law lives in North Carolina in the last five years she's been hit by more hurricanes than I have but again I was telling people this storm isn't that bad but then I start getting texts from people with pictures where by the coast and I'll put some pictures here up on the screen they had over five feet of water and it wasn't from the rain it was from the storm pushing the the water from the Gulf of Mexico up into the city so there was a lot of flooding lots of people lost their homes supposedly 15 of the guys I work with I don't know exactly who yet I have completely lost their homes so for me little shed damage is nothing you know and I'm hoping that once I get that tree off there I can kind of pop that back in place and fix it but a lot of people completely lost everything so very blessed I wanted to give you guys an update in case you were you know if you're worrying because I've had a few viewers ask me how I was doing so I said I kept power I did lose internet during the storm so I don't know exactly when I'm going to post this video when I'm gonna get internet back but hopefully a couple days I'll post it so you guys will get this update sorry for the wobbly cam I'm super tired not but I want to film something I'm super tired and I should be sleeping but I tried laying there for two hours and even though I only got one hour of sleep last night it's just hard to sleep during the day my wife and kids they were nice they they left while I was trying to sleep and went to my in-laws so that I could rest but after two hours laying there I just got up and decided to come out and film this video so I'm good pray for the people who've lost their homes and yeah keep on watching I have plenty of videos like I said I film videos ahead in advance so even if my house was demolished I still have videos coming out over the next couple of weeks so I always think of you guys ahead of time so sorry again for the wobbly video I just wanted to get something recorded I hope that you have a great day and another thing again I'm tired so I don't even know how much sense I'm making but just just want to let you guys know what's going on yeah other things about the last storm five years ago the hurricane Irma was how bad the wind was my yard was completely covered with branches big branches and it took forever to clean and again I had no powers had no AC was so hot so hot and miserable luckily this time there aren't too many big branches a lot of palm fronds my wife and son cleaned up a bunch of them while I was at work yesterday and so the rest isn't too bad and the weather's been beautiful it's nice today yesterday the day after the storm was gorgeous and breezy and cool the nicest weather we've had in six months so that's a plus yeah you're naming the trees
