 Hey, namaste. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Wherever you may be, cross-clad in the wrong world. I'm Greg from N5D.com and we're alive. I'm not sure if I'm able to turn my camera around. I'm doing this on stream here. I tell them assemble casting. To both my N5D Facebook page, my personal Facebook page, and the N5D YouTube channel. Hurricane Ian came ashore in Sanibel. Sanibel Island a little while ago, about an hour ago or so, I guess. And it was nearly a category five. You can see what's going on behind me here. I can't figure out how to reverse my camera. But not on stream yard. I don't know if you can on stream yard. But yeah, it came it came to Sanibel. Probably a little over an hour ago or so. You see like some debris in the street. Right now, the winds have picked up quite a bit since the last report. Clouds are just booking. I don't know if you can see them behind me, but clouds are moving. Yeah, there was there was a couple of different locations they said was gonna land. I kept getting pushed further south. I did a tarot card reading this morning when I woke up to find out, okay, where do we stand with this? And what I got was yeah, it's it's it's gonna be bad, but it's not gonna be it's not gonna be as bad as as what it could be. And we've already seen that. Why? Because Sanibel is a barrier island and it was evacuated. So Sanibel basically sacrificed herself. She took the brunt of everything. Imagine if it had came here to Sarasota or a direct hit to Venice or Fort Myers or Tampa. It would have been completely catastrophic. But because it hit the barrier island first that was deserted, that was evacuated it lessened the brunt of what could have happened. So yeah, but the winds had picked up significantly. This is what I'm looking at. It's raining a little bit harder. You see the back here. So it's it's pretty amazing to see the force of mother nature in action. Very grateful. Zoltan, Susan for inviting me to stay in their house. They have a a concrete home. It's like the only concrete home on the street. It's like everything else is wood. But yeah, my other option was well to go to my parents house in Fort Myers and I saw the storm was heading down there and I hadn't been concerned for them as well. A friend of mine, Rosie, in Cape Coral, I hope she's doing all right. Let me know Rosie. How are you doing? But you know and Sacey up in Tampa, probably could have went up there as it turned out the storm is further away from you than it is from us in Sarasota. I don't think it's going to be as bad. It can't be as bad because of how it already entered. Sanibel Island hit the brunt of it landing. So you know, I'm not going to say, you know, everyone's out of the woods and we're safe and this and that. That'd be stupid. You can see how the the water is accumulating on the street. We're around a peninsula, right? See what it's like up there? Going across this Tamiami trail at the end of the street. This way would be toward the beach, but the beach is still a ways away. I heard that we might get up to like two feet of precipitation. How crazy is that? Right? I'm saying I'm staying safe. Especially where I'm recording like I'm in between this wall and this truck. So it kind of blocks out all of the wind. And I'm underneath a roof, a little eve that comes out here. So I'm staying dry while recording. This is the first time I've done this on stream yard on my cell phone so I can actually see the comments from Facebook and YouTube. So hi to Jake and LA Love a Girl, Space Daisy Jody. I'm on Robin Hood Lane off of Tamiami near Beeridge, Jody. So, hi, Meg. Thank you. I'm trying to stay safe my friend. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, harp is hard at work, right? Joe Speed says that more Fort Myers is wrecked. Wow, my parents are in North Fort Myers, so you know, they're okay right now. Just keep courting the house. I'm going to grab it and keep you safe. Yeah. Hi Teresa. Thank you for your well wishes. Bay Burama. Operation hot fire. Gary, thank you brother. Yeah, definitely, Paris, Florida. It's getting, it's picking up the Sarasota. Hey Aileen, I hope you're staying safe and dry. Love you too. This guy, hurricane wind. Fort Myers got major flooding. Yeah, slow moving, slow moving storm. I was hoping that maybe I could go back to my home if it's still there. I live in a mobile home. Emergency services. The last time I came on about an hour and a half ago, the emergency services sent a text alert saying that they could no longer visit people because the winds have exceeded 45 miles an hour. And I'm thinking, damn, that's just 45 miles an hour. You know, it's 150, 155. I don't know what half it was when it came in. It's like three times as strong as what we're seeing here. On my last video, there was a transformer that went out down here. A line, a cable line, came down off of this telephone in front of mine. I was looking on Facebook, in front of my chariots, without electricity. I think she's up towards 75 somewhere. So yeah, I'm in Sarasota, Tenenier, Beverage, and Tamiami. Got it, always. I feel safe and protected. I do. Crystal Annie going through snacks. I feel media is hyping more than they should. Definitely, definitely, totally great. And they always seem to do that. I was here for the category three that came through back in 2017. It really wasn't that bad. And I'm not trying to downplay this at all. And you know, this is something very serious. Like I said, if you missed earlier, I drew cards this morning. Some tarot cards on it. And the cards basically said, yeah, it's serious, but it's not going to be as bad as what it could be. And after that, it went down to, the swan went all the way down to Sanibel, which helped soften the blow, so to speak. So you can see that the rain's coming down in sheets. It was pretty cool to be able to report on something this powerful and still be in a safe location unless the car flips over. That would kind of suck. Yeah, I heard it's moving like three miles an hour. Crazy. It's a little wet. Sorry about that. Lois says they lost power up in the middle of this. Wow. Look at that. Good day to fly kite, I guess, right? Yeah, there's going to be all sorts of power down, and it's probably going to take a while. My friend Zoltz was saying that what happens is because of all the rain, the roots of trees soften up, and that's when they start coming down. That makes sense. But some of the bigger trees, like this tree that's right above the house here, big oak tree, it's probably been here a hundred years, or longer. You know, that's going nowhere. That tree's going nowhere. Yeah, so I was hoping tonight, but it's kind of traveling, so it should be okay after eight o'clock tonight. I'm hoping my home is still there. Whether the mobile home. Surprisingly, surprisingly, there was only a little over half of the people left. When I left the mobile home part, yesterday, at almost midnight, there was probably about 40% of the people still there. Crazy. Cars were parked in front of the mobile homes, and the lights were on in there, and it ain't worth it. So, you know, all I brought with me, I brought my daughter's little Nowsy. I gave Brittany, my daughter, a flash drive of all the pictures and videos that I have of her. So, you know, things that you can't replace, that's what you want. I brought my computer because it's my lifeline, and I brought my guitar. That's it. I'm hoping everything is still there when I get back. You can hear the wind before it actually gets here. You know, building up. Okay, so. So, this would be east right behind me. Yeah, would be east right behind me. And the west would be in front of me. The Gulf of Mexico would be down in that direction, where I'm at right now. Yeah, like I said, I'm hoping. I was hoping maybe tonight, whenever the tornado warnings lift, I don't want to overextend my visit. I'm very grateful that, you know, I have a place to stay here instead of the gym floor at the shelter. So, family and Punta Gorda. Yeah, I do too, I have an aunt. I don't think she's there right now. I think she's up in Jersey. But yeah, my parents are in North Port Myers. Wow, almost half a million without power. Holy shit. So yeah, it's it's it's picked up a little since the last report. Like I said, I'm hoping for the best. I think, you know, I'm very grateful that Sanibel sacrificed her island to slow things down for the rest of everyone that's going to be in its path. Not just here in Florida, but all the way up the east coast. Yeah, I'm going to wrap it up there for this forecast and this update. Appreciate all the positive thoughts. And energy and I'll be back. I'm only in another hour or so. It's almost 2.47. Maybe around four. I'll come back and do another update. So, you feel me? Send you all infinite love and light from my heart to yours. Namaste, everyone.
