we re still in our vacation season. so we had over 500 houses that were occupied that we had to vacate. wow. for this event. so it s a big deal for us and this is prime season for us. good fishing and good beach activities this time of year. all the more important, absolutely, mayor. all the more important to get people out of here when you have so many people there. we want to keep people alive and safe. thank you, mayor alan holden for your time. listen, we re live up and down the coast here. this is just the beginning. the time that this hurricane is supposed to make landfall keeps getting pushed back because it is just sitting there. the good news would be if it just sat there and stahled. if that eye wall starts to break up. the bad news is it doesn t appear to be doing that. it appears to be stpinning off the coast of the carolinas and
hiding under the bed somewhere we didn t find. we ve done a good job and trying our best to find anyone left behind. we feel like we got everybody off. we have turned the sewer system off. we don t have water or sewer on the island right now. power is still on. we ve done everything we can to prepare all of our infrastructure and sit back and see what it sends us. yeah. well, mayor holden, looks like you ve done a good job. let s hope that is indeed the case. nobody s hiding under the bed as you say. that would not be a good place to be without sewer and water. you may have electricity but you need the bake services. mayor alan holden. appreciate your time. thank you so much. still there? absolutely . are you there? yeah, go on. you mentioned 600 people here. that s not quite right. we have 2100 homes.
