## Transcript

Hard to believe. I've seen pictures, but it's hard to believe when you're above it in a plane and you see the total devastation. See no houses left, not even the pads are left. It's incredible. And I have to say that the work with FEMA, first responders, local government, law [ UNKNOWN ] I just saw Michael who actually was about the only person who with a series wrote it off. He said he's never been so scared in his life but he's never seen power like this. Trees coming down left and right. To see this personally is very tough. Very, very tough. Total devastation. This is the mayor, by the way.

Come on over here, come. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] When the storm hit, the police, the first responders, and myself and our senior manager, we were in the city hall and police annex and you'll see it if we walk that far in it. Show us. Collapsed around us, and it lasted 55 minutes. And they said it was recording at a 40- mile wide F3 tornado for 55 minutes. That's what it seems like. It seemed almost like a giant tornado, a really wide tornado. It was big. It was big, not quite as big as Irma, but it was big. It was huge. And it came fast. And it grew fast. More powerful in the northeast. Got up to a category 5.

At midnight, I got on the live Facebook page and started talking to people and I said, you still have time, it's not going to be here until eight o'clock. Get in the car and drive 150 miles north or west [ INAUDIBLE ] [ CROSSTALK ] in this town. It's amazing .

>> Keep moving. Keep moving fast.
