Immediate aftermath on her cellphone. Watch here. F0 the plane was close to touchdown when jerry explained the pilot quickly pulled up. The plane cruised around the bay area for quite a while and then the flight crew preparedded again to land. There was a potential problem with the landing gear and everyone onboard had to prepare for the worse. We were given the full brake crash brace mode with flight attendants screaming at us at how to do it. It was petrifying.

This is a time stamp here about sunday evening. We dont have to worry this weekend, this will be near jamaica early monday to be evening, expected to be in the bahamas. And we are keeping a close eye on it. Some of the models are starting to shift a little bit to the west.

And while we think we have passed the peak of hurricane season, that was september downward spiral where 60 of all storms form in this area. And we get another bump in late october as well.
