Over here to the right is a line of cars
0:04
and the end of the line starts right
0:06
there. These are all vehicles that are
0:08
waiting to get sandbags filled.
0:12
Yesterday the line was a lot shorter,
0:13
but
0:15
today the line is out of control. It
0:17
goes on and on and on. Take a look at
0:20
how many cars this is. Probably an hour
0:24
or two wait just to get to the sandbag
0:27
area.
0:46
Wow. Another major issue is
0:46
gas. This gas station is completely out.
0:49
You always know something's going down
0:51
when people are lined up for propane.
0:54
That's not
0:56
normal. Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo
0:59
here. Thank you the for the event. It's
1:02
my second channel, daily vlog channel.
1:03
It's the
1:05
daily
1:07
woo. People are definitely getting
1:10
prepared. That's a smart idea. Actually,
1:13
that guy's getting ready, too. Lot of
1:15
houses with
1:18
boards. This is the way to do it right
1:20
here. You got shutters. You just pull
1:22
them down over the windows instead of
1:23
putting boards up. And they got their
1:25
sandbags ready. My mom has shutters like
1:27
that. I spent a good portion of this
1:29
morning putting the shutters down and I
1:31
sliced my hand pretty good right here.
1:34
Probably should put a band-aid on that.
1:36
Sustained winds are 140 mph putting it
1:39
on the Saffer Simpson hurricane wind
1:41
scale at a category 4. Looks like
1:42
they're definitely prepared and ready to
1:44
go. Leaving no window
1:53
unturned. Not really anyone out at the
1:53
lakefront for obvious reasons. And
1:55
everyone's getting their last minute
1:56
shopping done. You could see the normal
1:59
still lake has some ripples in it and
2:02
it's pretty calm right now, but later in
2:05
the day when it progresses, it's
2:06
definitely not going to be this way. I'm
2:08
not going to sugarcoat it. I hate
2:10
hurricanes. It's not just the hurricane
2:12
winds and the rain and the flooding and
2:15
the lightning and all that that is bad.
2:18
It's the tornadoes that they spawn off.
2:20
In 2004, three separate hurricanes came
2:24
through Central Florida and right over
2:26
St. Cloud. It was about the worst month
2:28
that I can ever recall in my history of
2:31
dealing with horrible weather. And I
2:33
promised I would never be in Florida
2:36
again for a hurricane. But here I am
2:39
once
2:40
again dealing with this. And you might
2:42
be asking, Adam, why don't you just
2:44
leave? Why don't you drive to Tampa or
2:47
just drive out of the state? That's a
2:49
good question because my mom and dad
2:51
live here and I'm staying with them
2:52
currently and I don't think it would be
2:54
the right thing to do to just hightail
2:57
it. See you later, parents. I'm I'm
3:00
getting to dry land. Embrace the storm
3:02
on your own. I just feel like I need to
3:05
be here just in case something happens.
3:09
Oh, check those out. I've never seen
3:10
window covers like that, but yeah, that
3:12
works, too. Something happened up here.
3:14
This person wrecked their motorcycle in
3:17
the middle of the road.
3:18
Hope they're
3:20
okay. It's like the fire department's
3:22
going to help her out. I don't even know
3:23
what's going on, but there are a lot of
3:25
emergency vehicles out already. And the
3:28
storm hasn't even arrived yet. I'm not
3:30
100%
3:31
sure, but they're not letting anyone in
3:34
Walmart. The doors at this Walmart, at
3:37
least on this side, are closed. People
3:39
are trying to flood in there, but
3:40
there's really not a lot of cars here.
3:42
I'm wondering if they have closed
3:43
Walmart for the day. Look at these guys.
3:45
They're moving the metal racks inside.
3:49
I just asked that employee and he said
3:51
that Walmart is now closed. That is
3:54
something that rarely happens. Uh
3:56
Walmart Super Center closing and I just
3:58
heard on the radio Universal Studios
4:01
also closing. It's safe to say that the
4:04
Outer
4:05
Bands are starting to rear their ugly
4:08
heads.
4:23
There's some sort of alarm back there
4:23
going off. I don't know if you can hear
4:25
with all this wind, there is an alarm
4:27
going off at the lakefront. I've never
4:30
in all the years I've been here heard
4:32
that. That must be warning anyone on the
4:34
lake in a boat or on this little pathway
4:39
or the beach to head to high ground and
4:42
get away from the oncoming storm. They
4:45
have said they do not want anybody else
4:46
on the road. So, I'm going to go park
4:48
the car at my parents house. My parents
4:51
are going to some friends of theirs. I'm
4:52
going to a friend of mine. All within a
4:54
mile or two of each other. My parents
4:57
where they are living. I don't know if
4:59
it's the best place to be staying. It's
5:01
because the storm is so dangerous. We
5:03
have all decided, the three of us, me,
5:04
my mom, and my father, have decided to
5:07
go to more structurally sound areas. And
5:10
a lot of other people in Central Florida
5:12
are heeding that advice as well. They
5:14
are only keeping the beach bridges open
5:17
until 5:00. After that, if you decide to
5:21
stay
5:22
beachside in Melbourne or in New Smyrna
5:26
or in any of those bar outlying islands,
5:28
then they are not coming to get you if
5:30
you end up with the roof blown off. Wa!
5:32
Look at this puddle of water. I don't
5:33
know if this rimma car will go through
5:34
this or not. That's pretty deep. Just
5:38
got to get through it
5:39
quick. Hasn't even rained that much.
5:42
It's already flooding. And check out
5:43
over here. All these people getting
5:46
their last minute ice from this ice. I
5:49
never see anyone at this thing ever till
5:52
today. Also, still expecting anywhere
5:53
from around 8 to 12 ines of rain out
5:55
towards the coast and the winds along
5:57
the coast could be in excess of 100
5:58
miles hour. It's a pretty good idea to
6:00
make sure that your RV doesn't fly away.
6:03
They have it tied to the tree. I mean,
6:05
it looks kind of weird, but it's better
6:07
than losing your RV in a storm.
6:59
It's coming. You can see it. You can see
6:59
it coming across the lake. Got to keep
7:02
taking a step
7:04
back cuz it is on its way right
7:12
now.
7:12
Yeah. Got to get away from there. Oh
7:15
man, it's catching up with me. It's
7:18
catching up with me. It's soaked. Hope I
7:19
don't ruin my phone. I got to run. I
7:23
don't have a vehicle. I'm staying at my
7:25
friend's house way up here.
7:31
Oh my
7:31
gosh, it's coming. It's on its way right
7:43
now. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. It's
7:43
coming. Stay safe out
7:46
there. Vlog over.
