we have prepared for the worst. we go through the scares throughout the years. but this is a pretty massive storm. this is the biggest storm that i have seen and i have lived here all my life so i think most of the citizens in this community and this area have heeded the warnings from our emergency operation officials and have started to move out. have been moving out for two to three days. thinking about moving out or leaving, this is the time to do it today. because by tomorrow we'll probably be seeing tropical storm winds coming into the area and i have told citizens over and over, once this event is upon us we're not able to send emergency operation officials out to get you. until storm passes so please, you know, heed the warnings. get prepared. because it looks like we'll be getting a direct hit here. >> i understand that the mayor of puerto rico also reached out to you, as well. >> she did. >> and what did she tell you? >> she just shared with me what she went through many puerto rico. she told me the thoughts and prayers are with us.
