Roads. The predicted storm surge didnt happen. A lot of people told us they were grateful for that. 20,000 people taking refuge in shelters, fearing the worst. What is next is to get electric power up. 210,000 customers, about 200,000 lost their power. So now you have many families at home alive in their houses, whole, but without electricity, without air conditioning, without phones and many of the schools still closed because they are damaged, too. Neil, back to you. Neil to your point, this could be the case for weeks, right . Half the state is out of power. Its a huge problem and a huge effort by authorities. Theyre marshalling the biggest power effort in history to try to get power back up and running. Lines snapped here in naples from gusts of 140 Miles Per Hour everywhere you look. Thanks, steve very much. Steve harrigan. In the middle of that, you might be surprised at what youre about to see now. A big day on the corner of wall and broad. Stocks soaring on that it wasnt worst. As bad it was, floridians working hard to make sure it wasnt as bad as it was. Gary joining us on the phone. We had the dow up more than 259 points. A lot of that considered a relief rally that this category 4 or 5 storm didnt do more damage. That seems to be hanging on a lot seeing all the dislocations going on there. I can see where theyre coming from. What about you . One would expect that we would have troubles in the market. Ive always had this motto, if you cant send a market down when youve had harvey irma, north korea, this Republican Congress still not getting anything done, National Media taking down a president , i would think the dow would be down a few thousand points. When you see they cant take it down, eventually the big money recognizes that and guess what they do next . They take it up. When you have a situation where you still have a lot of easy money, when you still have earnings that are decent, an economy still growing okay and the world doing better, this is what you get. Now whether we can really break out, really get going, that may be another story. Well see what happens. Today was definitely a very good day. One other things, the transports had a really strong day. Good to see that. Theyve been lagging badly. What is remarkable as we look at the images on the storm, the markets did bounce back from this. I guess the feeling was that a lot of the insurers and the reinsurers, the guy that insurance the insurers would see significant losses. Theyll have to pay a pretty penny for this. The feeling seems to be, gary, not as much of the penny. Theyre wellprepared to deal with this. How would they know . Youre there. Were sort of quantifying the damages and saying theyre sustainable. Are they . Well, the words in time, thats when well really know. With a lot of these insurers and reinsurers, they got hit hard into last week and late last week started to rally. Something like an everest, reinsurance was up. So its like by the end of the storms, they sold into the storms and now its a matter of the real numbers, which well know in due time. Right now its about estimates. You know what you can do with estimates, especially when you first have to get in there. I can tell you, i mentioned earlier today, the numbers are staggering of the potential in florida when you basically have a storm that hit all of florida. So in time, well know and the markets will react if the numbers are worse than the estimates are. You know, its interesting, too. You went through i guess andrew in the early 90s. The feeling was after that one, the state would pry to make itself not hurricane proof but more hurricane resistant. Buildings up to code that would stand a minimum category three hurricane. A lot of the buildings had to live to this code. Seemed to make the difference, didnt it . Yeah. Anymore a hotel right now where all the windows and the big windows and all the rooms are hurricane resistant. Believe me, last night i could tell they were hurricane resistant. We were getting hit with about 100 as far as Miles Per Hour. So that was a definite big help. Every time we get another hurricane, unfortunately we get them but also it makes people take a real hard look at what can we do better Going Forward when we do the reconstruction. Obviously Getting Better each time. Leave no doubt, theres been some serious destruction. This is going to add up over time. Keep fingers crossed. Its not as bad as the worst numbers and well know as i said, in time. Neil yeah, thats whats going on, a relief in florida and a relief at wall and broad. Thanks, gary. Hope you can piece things back to together in your home as will others. What were hearing from the brokerage community, j. P. Morgan says when all is said and done, irma will be one of the most five expensive storms ever. Goldman sachs is saying because of what happened in florida and because of what has been happening in storms in general with harvey in texas, that its going to save up to a point of gdp in the present quarter that were in. The betting seems to be here that would be about 2 when it was supposed to be 2. 8 to 3 will come back. Generally a hurricane rule of thumb. Im looking at it through the prism of those that say we come back in history and proves yes do come back. One thing is a constant as well with hurricanes, is looting. We saw a lot of that including this going on in ft. Lauderdale where looters were targeting a sneaker store. Played out again throughout the state. I must emphasize. This was the exception more than the rule. The one thing about video, you have images of people doing this stuff. The police chief is here with us. Joining us on the phone. Thanks, chief. How much did you see, chief . Thank you for having me, sir. We actually havent seen too much. We got it under control quickly. We sent a strong message out on social media and to our neighbors that we would do everything we could do protect their lives and property and anybody that attempted to victimize our neighbors would be caught and arrested. Weve been successful in that campaign. A lot of them didnt realize they were being videotaped. Those that did,you sent out reminders. Dont think about it. This could happen to you. Has it slowed since publicity like this . It has slowed. As of this point, we captured 20 individuals that have attempted to either loot businesses or burglarize Residential Homes that were in the evacuation area. Its definitely slowed down. We just caught our 20th in the same footlocker that was burglarized several times. Neil theres a different way people can be penalized with this. Its not just that youre looting, but looting during a disaster, which is like double indemnity. Can you explain that . Yes, sir. Its an enhanced crime to commit these types of offenses when theres a declared state of emergency that could lead to harsher penalty. Neil a lot of people look at this and say gosh, maybe i evacuated my condo or apartment or my home. Maybe i should get back, this is a possibility. It scares people. What do you tell them . Well, as soon as the declared state of emergency was made and the Evacuation Order was given, we felt we had an additional responsibility to protect the folks property that were asked to leave. We put staffing on the draw bridges to our Barrier Islands to control who went in and out. We also cancelled all of the officers days off and any vacation leave they had. We deployed 24 7 burglary suppression teams that were plain clothes officers that did nothing but try to catch inprogress burglaries. Even during the storm where the majority of the folks, thats where the group of nine folks that we caught at once figured they would have a better chance of getting away with it, we deployed our teams of swat vehicle called the bear a heavy armored vehicle. We were able to go after them during more Severe Weather than we could if we wept in regular police cars. Good for you. As you emphasize, its worth pointing out, this is the exception and not the rule. You were on top of it. Chief, be well and be safe yourself. I appreciate it. Thanks very much. Neil do you remember that newlywed couple we talked about . We talked to the grooms mom was worried that her son and wife were stuck in st. Maarten . The couple got home out of harms way there. And theyre here to talk to us now after this. Its resourceful. Elusive. Shrewd. Cancer. Is. Smart. It pushes us. We push back. We even push each other. To challenge conventional thinking. Find smarter solutions. Thats what makes us one of the leaders in precision Cancer Treatment. Forging ahead with technology that wasnt available to Cancer Patients just a short time ago. Like advanced genomic testing. A diagnostic tool that lets us see cancer at the molecular level. Then helps us find different ways to target it. And immunotherapy, a treatment that actually makes your immune system smarter. Trains it to attack the cancer in your body. This is what we live for. Giving our patients Compassionate Care by offering them more precise and less invasive Treatment Options than before. Thats what makes us Cancer Treatment centers of america. Were not just fighting cancer anymore. Were outsmarting it. The evolution of cancer care is here. And its also a story mail aabout people and while we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you neil now the americans that youre helping are in the virgin ideas or where . St. Maarten, the virgin islands. The British Virgin islands today as well. We want to make sure were handling our people. We want to make sure that u. S. Citizens can come back. Here in puerto rico, they will have a safe haven. Neil and puerto ricos governor meant what he said. Among the americans that he rescued and welcomed to puerto rico, sarah and scott reagan. They were safe after being air lifted. I talked to scotts mom last week. She was worried about her son and his new wife. They were holed up in a resort bathroom there. Im happy to say. Both are joining us on the phone right now. Guys, welcome to both of you. How are you doing right now . Were doing great now. Thanks for having us. Good to have you. It had to be scary. A lot of folks were worried, oh, my gosh, are they all right . Tell us what it was like. St. Maarten got hit hard. It was horrifying. We were in our bathroom for probably over ten hours sitting on couch cushions and pillows and eventually water. It was pretty crazy. Thankfully we were able to get out okay after all that time. Neil how did the word get out, scott, or how did you manage by the time i had a chance to speak with your mom, she was relieved because she heard that you were all right and then it was the journey to puerto rico. Could you explain the order of events . Well, the day after the hurricane hit, the general manager for the hotel got together with a couple people, and they traveled up to the top of a mountain nearby just to try to get cell service. At that point, they called their Corporate Office who has a list of every person that was staying at the hotel. The Corporate Office made personal calls to each and every Family Member on the list to let them know that everybody was safe and sound. Neil sarah, for you, this is a honeymoon for the record books, im sure. So you certainly have something to tell the kids and grandkids down the way. But there was no anticipating a storm of this magnitude. How did you ride it out . Honestly, we really thought it would be something that would pass. It wasnt until the day, that tuesday when we knew how bad it was, but there were if flights out and we were trapped there. We did our best to stick together. Scott was very strong. I was crying most of the time. We really just got through it together. Just kept hoping that the building would hold up and we would be able to walk out of there alive. Neil thank god you did. How long are you in puerto rico . Easier said than done getting a flight back here. What are you planning . We have a flight back wednesday. Well be here from now till wednesday. Neil scott, is it in puerto rico . It might have avoided a direct hit but still had some damage, right . Yeah, from what weve seen, mostly all right. We spoke to some locals. They said their houses, they didnt have power for two days. Other than one billing really being damaged at the airport, we havent seen much. Its been how we thought st. Maarten was going to be. Blue water and blue skies. Neil yeah. You just got it late. Im glad youre all right. Sara, youre not angry at scott for messing up this honeymoon, are you . No. Neil youre going to ride it out. Im glad that we stuck together and people now say we have a category five marriage. Neil you both have a great altitude. I wish you well. Obviously youre marriage had a tough test to begin but you more than passed. Get home safe and be well. Live a long and prosperous marriage and life. Thank you. Neil former pro golfer dealing with this thing, greg norman rode this out in his home in jupiter, florida. Wait till you hear that story. Hes here after this. David. Whats going on . Oh hey thats it . Yeah. Everybody two seconds dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance. Through the Tuition Assistance program, every day mcdonalds helps more people go to college. Its part of our commitment to being americas best first job. Neil you know, were so concentrated on southern florida, the palm beach coast, the naples side. You dont think northern florida like jacksonville. They had record flooding as well. Peter doocy with more on that. Hey, peter. Still bad, right . It is still pretty bad, neil. This is supposed to be the road where people come, park, put money in the meter to go to the landing, go to the bar. The road including bridge over here in the distance just past the Andrew Jackson on a horse statue at the center of the road is still completely blocked. We havent seen anybody try to gone or off that. This, again, is basically the Jacksonville Landing on an island now. You can see how high the water has gotten on a sign for the cross walk. Not much danger for pedestrians except being swept away by the high water. Nobody has tried to drive by boat or by car that weve seen in the time that weve been here. Local officials are saying that they have rescued about 100 people so far from the high water and surrounding communities. The mayor is saying its going to talk about a week for the water to start receding. So even though irma is gone and the high tide mark was two hours and 20 minutes ago or so and we have seen the water go out, it will be like this quite a while, neil. Well be here to see what unfolds next. Back to you. Be safe, peter. So pretty much everywhere if florida kind of reporting back with the same type of damage and flooding, including former pro golfer, greg norman who rode out this storm at his home in jupiter. Great to have you, greg. What kind of damage have you dealt with . Thanks for having us on. For me, not much. No structural damage. My beach house got a little sand blasting from the category two gust winds coming up the beach from the southeast. But a lot of landscape damage obviously. Some big parents that are 70 plus years in the back yard, lost one of those. Honestly, minimal stuff in the context of what we just went through. Neil what is amazing, a lot of folks opted to stay. I dont know whether it was a voluntary evacuation where you are, but we heard a lot of people say i cant leave, its a nightmare on the roads. I hear stations are out of gas. Why did you stick around where you were . Ever since ive moved to jupiter island, ive stayed in early hurricane from ivan to francis to gene. Mainly because ive caught one or two unsavory types trying to loot. I dont have my boats here now. I caught an individual trying to ransack my boats. Police here are phenomenal. But when we go on lock down moat, they put security on the north idea of the island. The people that want to be bad, they come off the intercoastal. Its easy to come in when the place is dead, nobody is here. Thats the reason why i stay. Were very lucky to live here, but at the same time, were vulnerable to what Mother Nature can dish out and what the unsavory individuals are doing. Thats why a lot of people did abandon their homes, for personal safety reasons. You can get leery when they see the lootings like in ft. Lauderdale and they want to rush back because they get concerned. Its rare. Want to emphasize that. But it happens enough. What do your neighbors do . What others in the community do . I know the neighbors to my north, i checked on their property. I gave them a record. They werent here. Neighbors to the south werent here as well. Theres a few people left on jupiter island. I know the chief of Police Stayed on the island ever since the lock down mode. I cant tell you how many are here. I get out early and drive around. The roads were okay, cleared out so they can open up. The island did open a few hours ago. A lot of people were looking at what happened in florida. As bad as it looks, greg and this is incredible to me, they feared it would have been worse. Thats one of the reasons why the markets were up, a lot of floridarelated stocks were up that it could have been worse. Still looks good. I dont know if youve had a chance to go out and look around beyond jupiter. I mean, it looks like you had quite a beating. Oh, yeah. Were in the northeastern quadrant of the hurricane. We got a beating. We had 16 hours of nonstop winds. But i never heard this before. 3 00, 4 00 in the afternoon, we had a storm south of jupiter island. 90 miles an hour it was coming on shore. Ive never heard of anything like that. Spurned a lot spawned a lot of tornadoes. I know we got hammered around here. With us the nonstop, relentless battering for 16 plus hours. Neil thanks, greg. Good catching up with you. Thanks, neil. Neil theres people that love this moment just to chase it, to track it down, to videotape every single second. Meet them after this. Wheres gary . saved money on motorcycle insurance with geico. Goin up the country. Later, gary i have a motorcycle wonderful. Im goin up the country, baby dont you wanna go . Im goin up the country, baby dont you wanna go . Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. I have agerelated macu
