FNC’s Adam Housley’s Shows Paint Being Peeled of the Rails in Key Largo Due to Irma

‘It’s like throwing sand paper at somebody’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
HOUSLEY: "Adam, how are things in key largo. Reporter: It’s pulling paint off the rail. The wind is coming through here. When it gets like this, you lose all visibility. It’s like throwing sand paper at somebody. I look down right now and there is stuff flying in all directions. Still coming from the right specifically, it hasn’t switched yet. We haven’t gotten the switch that comes from left to right. It’s flowing from the ocean side of the key across to the bayside. It will come back around. We don’t know if that’s storm surge or rain coming from the higher part of the interstate. The interstate runs from the mainland of south Florida all the way down to key west. We don’t know if it’s coming across from the other side. We have all sort of branches blowing this way. When you have a hurricane and it come over you. You get a sounds like a jet engine. We have had that consistently for several hours. It just hasn’t stopped. It continues to batter this area. Until it clears we don’t know how much damage is out there. We are in a safe spot. But we can’t leave the spot. We know there are 45-mile-an-hour sustained wind 12 hours ago."
