You're sitting here with none other than Garth Maynard, Rose Barrow, here today. Joining me also is your favorite co host, Ricardo Mr. Beads Forbes. He's in the house with me today. And Kyle, I guess Kyle Dean is still out there celebrating. He's trying to make his way here, but, you know, everyone's back to work. We're going to have a special program here for you today. You know, normally when I do speak, I try to speak within the confines of what's in my spirit. I just feel something sometime and I got to bring it to the surface. That's what real preachers do. You see, real preachers, they feel something from within. We call it a download. And then we got to bring it out. That's what we do. We got to pronounce this thing. And so today I feel a strong pronunciation within my spirit. And of course, I had an angel that came to me and said, call Wayne Neely immediately. Now, when I called Wayne Neely from the Met Office, Wayne Neely answered immediately. [00:03:06] Speaker C: Amen. Amen. [00:03:07] Speaker A: And Wayne Neely also confirmed immediately. Okay. And Wayne Neely also was here at the station right before I arrived. Look at God. So he is a man of time and he's a man who understands the times. [00:03:21] Speaker C: Preach, preacher. [00:03:22] Speaker A: Come on. And that's why I didn't play him a regular. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. [00:03:26] Speaker D: Right? [00:03:26] Speaker A: Because us something today in order that at the end of the season, you are left with nothing. [00:03:33] Speaker C: I feel the Holy Ghost. [00:03:34] Speaker A: I feel it. Oh, man, could I preach today? Could I get up today? And so, folks, listen, man, we're going to talk today about the weather. [00:03:41] Speaker C: Yes. [00:03:41] Speaker A: We got to talk about the impending hurricane effect. We realized that Hurricane Dorian was a disastrous event. [00:03:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:03:53] Speaker A: Category five. [00:03:54] Speaker C: I know people who still have PTSD from that. [00:03:55] Speaker A: Just under one mile an hour. And y' all have forgotten Your brothers and sisters who were mentally affected from. [00:04:01] Speaker C: That's why people still have ptsd. From that. I know. I know a few people. [00:04:04] Speaker A: You all have forgotten people who have witnessed this very event. Y' all have forgotten those people who saw hell open up. And it's almost as if God had forgotten. [00:04:14] Speaker D: Wow. [00:04:14] Speaker A: See, I was there, Mr. Beads and Wayne Navy when they had Hurricane Katrina. [00:04:20] Speaker C: Okay, Okay. [00:04:21] Speaker A: I worked at Hartsfield Jackson Airport. I was a gate agent on concourse C. And the command was given. Not the command, but an invitation. We need one brave gate agent to go to New Orleans tonight to evacuate people out. Only need one. And of course, crazy God from the Bahamas. I got to tell you all, I got to say yes. I got to go help people. I got to go save people, even if it may cost me my life. And so I went on the flight, first class, of course. I arrived there into New Orleans, and I began evacuating immediately. I was the last person on the plane before the door closed. Just like how you talk about Noah and the ark. I was the last one in the ark. And I recall on that day, the sky was blacker than my shoes. It was horrific. You could see devastation was coming. [00:05:18] Speaker D: Wow. [00:05:19] Speaker A: I could only then. Now imagine in Abaco, Grand Bahama, when Hurricane Dorian hit. Now, during the course of the week, I sat with one Ms. Francine Johnson, who was doing some emergency preparedness kits. She said, garth, I got to talk to you. You have a good show. People speak well about you. I want to show you something. And it just stayed in my spirit when needed, that. You know what? In our country, it is better to be prepared than to wait for the after effect and be left devastated. Okay, The Cub Scout model, as I remember, Cub Scout always does his best, thinks of others before himself, does a good deed every day. But the other model we had was be prepared. That's the Cub model, the Scout model. Be prepared. And so today, I want us to title this show Be Prepared. You got to be prepared. I don't want you to wait. See, we blame politicians for a lot of stuff, but right now, it's time for you to say to your members of Parliament, you ain't got to wait. This ain't hard to do. Start bringing the sandbags now. Yeah, now, the worst that could happen if we don't use the sandbags for flooding a hurricane is we mix some cement with that. Talk to me. [00:06:27] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:06:27] Speaker A: You add on to your house, that's the least could happen for you. That's a little blessing in itself. You ain't got to buy no sun. [00:06:33] Speaker C: You'll be like the old woman on these other women on social media. [00:06:40] Speaker A: Okay? But you need that dirt now because if you know your house in a low lying area and all these other things. We got to talk to Wayne Neely about this. Because what I want to know from Wayne Neely is this. What are the chances of this possibly happening this year? [00:06:53] Speaker C: Okay. [00:06:53] Speaker A: And I also want to know if a Category 5 ever broke the barrier. [00:06:57] Speaker D: Wow. [00:06:58] Speaker A: And hit New Providence as me and Ms. Johnson was talking about. You tell me what will New Providence look like? You talk about immigration going back home. We call it now migratory migrants going back home. What if a hurricane hit here? They ain't got to go back home. Plainness. Going home to see who Jesus. Some of y' all can go home and see God or the devil. So I want to talk to Wayne Ealy about this today. The Phone numbers are 543-16-325-4259. Anywhere from the family of Island 300-5720 or you're texting at 422-4796. Mr. Beads, Mr. Beads, tell the good people hello. How was up Bahamas. [00:07:35] Speaker C: It's your boy, Mr. Beads, I'm here chilling out with the one and only God, Rose Burrow. And Mr. Neely, we are here today. We're gonna discuss a very important topic here in the Bahamas. And we want to hear from you, man. For some of you who would have experienced the last major hurricane that we had here, here in the Bahamas, Dorian, you know, call in, give us your views and we're going to get some good advice for you guys today. So stay tuned. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Yes, man. Ray Neely, you've been in this for a very long time. Let those people know. Tell them hello, your lovely mother, your dad, your family. You're heading to South Andrews this Friday. Hurricane Wayne Neely is on his way to South Andrew taken by storm straight into the bluff. Talk to us when coming. [00:08:14] Speaker E: I'm coming and coming. Can't wait to get home to tomorrow for homecoming festival. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Yes. [00:08:19] Speaker E: You know, every Labor Day, Joan, that's. That's how it takes take most Andrews or Andrews back to the home to the homesteads. [00:08:27] Speaker A: But you know what gonna happen when you get there, right? [00:08:29] Speaker E: Well, I looking for Scarlet Plum and Mango Plum Dilly. [00:08:34] Speaker C: And you know, you know what? [00:08:36] Speaker A: You miss out on that. What I was reading an article from Jamaica, okay. This week and the land crabs in Jamaica, the blue crab and the red crab are in jeopardy. [00:08:47] Speaker D: What? [00:08:48] Speaker A: They are being depleted so quickly that they're about to become extinct. They got to go and protect the land crabs. This is also happening in Puerto Rico and throughout the entire basin of the Caribbean. Right now, the Bahamas. We still have an abundance of land crabs. Now, what that means for me is not that we need to eat more crabs, we need to look at the idea now of exporting live crabs to these countries to help them repopulate. This is revenue that can come into the Bahamas government and someone has to learn now how to do what they call crab farming. This is Don Major, who was a former, I think it was, assistant general manager for baic, and he said, you know, if we can learn how to do crab farming, you can now take these crabs, send them to Jamaica, send them to Puerto Rico, send them to Trinidad Tobago, other places, and they can now reproduce and repopulate. [00:09:37] Speaker E: They actually have a crab farm down in Sara Andrews now. And they do a gentleman. Yeah. [00:09:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:09:41] Speaker E: He's at crab farming now. [00:09:42] Speaker A: Oh, man. So. So when you reach the Andrews now, I know what's going to happen. The. The crowds are going to say, rain. Neely is here. Let's march towards the bluff. [00:09:51] Speaker E: Yeah. Crabs. The rain. It rained last week and it rained this week. [00:09:55] Speaker A: That's what I'm trying to tell you. [00:09:56] Speaker E: So most people. And funny thing about the rain just before that homecoming festival. Yes, it always rained. That's why I tell you during the homecoming festival. And most people. Most people carry a crab bag and the flashlight. [00:10:07] Speaker A: You are a pied piper of crabs, my friend. Once you reach with that rain, they coming out. Yes, that Sunday after. Used to live there, you know. I know they could be all over the street, damning the mosquitoes overhead and crab beneath your feet. Crabs are coming to Nassau in droves. But the other thing that we're here to talk about is the weather. Yeah, the weather. Ray Neely, tell us about your weather history. How did you get into meteorology anyhow? [00:10:31] Speaker E: Last year I went to the College of Bahamas and I majored in geography and history. And I decided trying to find out what to do once I was finished, that was either teaching, using my geography degree as. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Yeah, because your dad is a teacher. [00:10:47] Speaker E: Yeah, my daddy was a teacher and all my aunts are teachers. So I. I was going to go into teaching, but it didn't turn that way. I just met a guy, Roger Demare, who. Who worked at Department of Meteorology. He came to the College of the Bahamas doing a job fair, and he invited me to apply. Apply to meteorology. I did and I was accepted. And the rest is history. [00:11:08] Speaker A: Well, listen, I see the caller on the line of caller. Let me see what you got to say because I don't want you to hold too long. I don't want to hang you up, but I want you to what you got to talk about caller? [00:11:16] Speaker D: Hello, how you doing? I'm g. How you doing? Spocky here. [00:11:19] Speaker A: Oh my spark. I heard you make commentary earlier on the previous show. [00:11:23] Speaker D: Yeah, but let me tell you something. You told me people forget the people that got still gone missing in Dorian, who got damaged in Dorian, who got killed in Dorian. Yes, you told me the people who forget that. Yes, some people forget where they buried their own mother and father. They can't remember which part of the graveyard was grave. Go up the wood lawn and you know they got grass there. They don't have no thing with you go to walk around and put a tombstone on you got a little cup with one rose in it. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Well, the reason why I talk about this today Swaki is I want to remind some people when you talk to people like Denley Mackey who was there burying people at that particular time, you need to one day make an appointment to see her. The campaign is now over. I know she's still busy, people still dying but you probably need to go and speak with someone like that bring invite her to your church. We don't really sing some way Invited to your church, invited to your groupings. [00:12:18] Speaker D: I 75 but when I was 4 years old I remember my grandfather's funeral. Yeah, there was the fountains living on top of Bear Street Hills. I remember this the day the bodies out in the house in the front room and then the host will come and say if they had a hoist. And they would be remarked from there down over west street, down into Virginia street, up Nassau street to the grave. Yeah, you see and I remember that for four years old I can still remember where this thing is. But we had a hurricane that was supposed to hit Nassau one evening. Darrell military it was supposed to hit us at 9 o'. Clock. But I waited all night for this hurricane. Next thing I know wake up, I didn't see no hurricane. It was gone, it was up around Freeport. But what I did, because I'm basically something like an invalid now, but I can still move around with something I call a wheelie walker. And what I did with the last threatening hurricane, I cut right through the window. And you know those things when you cut the lock on the door to put the lock in the door, the little sink of the thing. Hello? [00:13:27] Speaker A: Yeah, be listening. [00:13:28] Speaker D: Yeah, I Cut a lot of them so I could see from the inside out. And what I did was when I painted my house, I painted all my stuff, my storm shutters to beautify the house, the white house, the house white. And the green shutters, the green. And I never took them down because I said to myself, I'm down in the back by myself. You've been by my me, I down back by myself. I go pretty up the house of them. Leave the front door open, bring breeze in. So you put in there ductless. [00:13:57] Speaker A: I saw a spot. [00:13:58] Speaker D: That's how I live so high. If the hurricane come, then the roof gotta go or the trees can mess up or I ain't gonna be here. I don't want to be down in the backyard. I live right next to a point. And I don't know what might happen down here like, like Nassau Village because, you know, hurricane come like Dorian hit the back. If I can hit New Providence, the Bahamas finished because the Providence is the capital. 21 by 7. If a category 5 come up the middle of the Bahamas and grab New Providence, everybody from them out islands coming to live in New Providence for a better way of life. Where we going? Us who live in New Providence, where we going? I got no property in out island. I got no family in North Island. I ain't got no house in out island, no car, no nothing. I ain't got nowhere to go. Have a good day. [00:14:46] Speaker A: I appreciate you sparking and see this is what it's all about here. Vaynely. Sometimes you make the forecast that the hurricane is coming your way and then sometimes it comes and sometimes it just changes direction. [00:14:56] Speaker E: Yes. [00:14:57] Speaker A: But I recognize is that we've had major hits in Long Island. We've had major hits in Eleuthera, major hits in Grand Bahama and Abaco. I don't know if Cat island ever really got a hit before, but been hit now for what, over a century? [00:15:14] Speaker E: Yeah. The last major hurricane to impact andrus was the 1929 hurricane. [00:15:18] Speaker A: That's when my great grandfather lost David sons. [00:15:22] Speaker E: David, no, no. Didn't name him back then. It was 1929. He's called the Gale of Gale of 29. Most of the older persons called it the gale back then. They. [00:15:30] Speaker A: Yeah, my great grandfather James Brown, he would have lost three of his sons in that hurricane. And then the brown clan spread. So we had browns that went to Eleuthera, browns that went to Cat island, the brown that went to Exuma, brown that went down to Betsy Bay. Maybe we all family from one great Grandfather, you see, my grandmother is a Brown. You see, my mother's a Taylor. And so hurricanes tend to bring that type of dispersion, that type of devastation very nearly. We've not had a hurricane since Dorian that I can recall. [00:16:04] Speaker E: No. And the funny thing, you know, you talked just before you began, you talked about just the beginning of your show that the impact of hurricanes. [00:16:12] Speaker A: Yes. [00:16:12] Speaker E: And you know, I wrote, I'm on my 18th book now. I've written 18 books on hurricanes. The first book I wrote, I wrote to kill time. And from 2000 to 2004, I researched every hurricane that impacted the Bahamas. And I started and I focused on the 1929 hurricane. And the first thing I did was I started to those persons at the time, I started to go interview the older persons in Andrews in Nassau who experienced that storm. And my first person I went to interview was a lady I remember live off Crawford Street. And I started to interview her and she started to cry about 1929. This was like in. This was in like 2000, 2000, 2001. And she started crying and she interviewed as I was interviewing her. And I was surprised. I said, I wonder why would she be crying for a storm that was in 2000. I'm talking about a storm in 1929. She's done. And so I said, why are you still crying? She said, because you never forget hurricanes. You never see hurricanes have a way of impacting you. And says, just like I can remember that storm like it was yesterday. And, and why I said that because in 2019, Hurricane Dorian, I have a webpage that I update most of the web forecasts on my personal webpage. And right after Dorian passed, it was just after Dorian and another low pressure center was coming off Africa. And I put that on my page. And rather than get thank you for your better Service report. So, Mr. Neely, please, in Jesus name, stop. So we just had Dorian. We needed more hurricanes. So please don't, don't update the weather no more. And this was someone from Abaco. And so hurricanes have a way of impacting you in a significant way that you never forget them. And those persons in Abaco will always remember Hurricane Dorian. And as long as they live, they will remember that storm. Those persons in North Lutria will always remember Hurricane Andrew. Those persons in Abaco also remembered the 1932 hurricane season. So most of the older persons talk about those storms, especially 1929 storm. It's because a lot of persons went, a lot of persons in New Providence and died in that storm. So you Tend to remember these storms for the rest of your life. So hurricanes have a way of impacting you in a significant way that affects you for years to come. And the psychological impact is even greater, which is something that most people don't measure. But that's a great impact that you have when it comes to hurricanes. [00:18:45] Speaker A: Well, when I was in school in Jamaica, if you remember, 1988, Gilbert, Hurricane Gilbert, yes. I was there at a place called West Indies College at the time now called Northern Caribbean University. And I recall that the government of the Bahamas at that time actually sent an aircraft, Bahamas Air over to pick up. Well, it was actually British Airways, I think it was, to pick up from. From UV as well as West Indies College to come home. [00:19:12] Speaker E: Yes. [00:19:13] Speaker A: And there was some four of us that I. That stayed behind. One was John Kerry, the former Member of Parliament for Carmichael, Jeffrey Raming, Cedric Ramming and myself. And you know, the funny thing was that you were at the airport. All of us was broke. Me, I got money, but we had to get a taxi back to Mandeville. And I recall where I got the taxi, but, you know, nobody knows the other person broke. Come on, let's talk. Let me have a good conversation with you. All right, so Mr. B is all us in this one taxi, this eight door taxi, old eight door cars in Jamaica, right? And everybody's sitting in the taxi, quiet, quiet as a mouse. Because I try to figure out who can pay. But we ride, right? We going back to Mandeville because the plane was full. And we said, we're going to have to tug this out. And it was late at night. We went through a roadblock in Spanish Town, you know, guns on us and everything. All we going back to Maneville because we, we couldn't make the flight. And we got the man like about 3 o', clock, 4 o' clock in the morning. And went up to the gate and we took our bags out. Jesus Lord, we're so wicked. And started saying, we'll be right back. We got to take up. We got to take our bags to the room. Lord Jesus. Going in the dorm. I know y' all can say it's crooked for a long time. I know I even go psychic rock, but everything cool. So when we got in the dorm, who got the money for the fella? It was, I ain't got no money. Anybody got no money. But I thought the government was paying for us to get back the government. So we heard a man out by the gate cussing all kind of Jamaican cuss backwards. We was inside door Locked. We said, we straight. We straight. But, you know, that was very unfortunate. We had no money. [00:20:57] Speaker C: Y' all could have gone find him. [00:20:58] Speaker A: Jesus said, we ain't had no money, man. Everybody broke. I said, lord Jesus, I say we need forgiven. So God, please forgive me. [00:21:06] Speaker D: I hope. [00:21:06] Speaker A: I hope he's still living. And God bless him with some money. I don't know. I know his name. I don't know how to find him. But, you know, in a hurricane, the thing was, is that you just panic. [00:21:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:21:17] Speaker A: You do what you got to do. You don't care about consequences. You just try to scramble to safety. And when I would not ordinarily have done that, that actually occurred. Yeah, I recall because, you know, the dormitory didn't have any screen, like glass screens, anything. It was just Louisville windows. Yes. And you can hear the wind howling outside. We saw a big Volkswagen bus lift up like Star Trek, and it was thrown, like 20ft away. We saw all of the shutters that were on the building that just lifted up and just were tossed away. Cows were lost, chickens were lost. Water was everywhere. But you didn't have any running water in the building. This was the thing. So you didn't have any drinking water like that. In order for us to cook, because we didn't have any electricity, we took the cheese can and we put holes to the bottom of the cheese can. And we placed the books on the table and allowed the air to come through the books, through the can. Put a pot on top of that with a candle inside. We had a candle inside the can. [00:22:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:22:18] Speaker A: And we used the candle to cook our rice. That's all we could eat. [00:22:21] Speaker C: What? [00:22:21] Speaker A: And we did that for three months. We lived off of rice. [00:22:23] Speaker E: I just finished writing a book on Gilbert. [00:22:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:26] Speaker E: Jamaican government. [00:22:26] Speaker A: And I recall the last bag of rice. I remember that night, the last bag of rice. I looked at everybody and everybody's stomach was full. I recall this night so well. And I said, my God, if this is the last bag of rice, I can't throw away that pot. No, I got to finish that. I gotta be the last man to survive. So I ate rice until my stomach sat on the chair itself. I said, God knows I got to just go ahead and gorge myself. And that's how desperate we were. Dr. Limit Brown was also there. I remember going to Mandeville and we were sharing one cup from Kentucky. Because KFC at the time, they had a free refill. So we got the one cup free refill. And all six of us was drinking from the Make. You do some Strange things. [00:23:08] Speaker E: Yes. [00:23:09] Speaker A: And I don't know if bohemian people are prepared to do strange things. We heard of stories in Abaco and Grandmama where people were warned to leave. You know, Darren Henfield sat with me. Senator Darren Henfield at the time interviewed him and said, you got to leave. Yeah. And the people just refused to refuse to leave. [00:23:26] Speaker E: And they told him, look. And he told them, look, if you don't leave, you're going to die. [00:23:29] Speaker A: Yes. [00:23:29] Speaker E: He told him that up front. He said, look, if you don't leave, you're going to die. [00:23:33] Speaker A: And how many died, you asked? [00:23:34] Speaker E: The 74. They have 74 persons. The official total is 74, with 50 recorded missing. 50 persons still accounted for as missing and 63 in Abaco and 11 in Grand Muhammad. But most of the persons I interviewed after my book on Dorian, most of them said that that total is much higher than that. [00:23:54] Speaker A: Now, when hurricanes are coming, two things happen that I know about. Either people go to church and start praying in tongues for this hurricane to go the next week. All of a sudden, we got to find Yahweh Elohim El Shaddai the great. I am the rock of all. I ain't gonna preach today, but you know what I'm saying. [00:24:12] Speaker E: Yes. [00:24:13] Speaker A: And then you got the other side who got to go buy some rumors. You need some aristocrat. [00:24:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:24:18] Speaker A: That thing was. Make it turn into a demon overnight. You know what I mean? Get someone. You know, I talk about that Mark Rogers. [00:24:25] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Some of that good, strong stuff. Because you really are scared. But, you know, you got to drink your fares away. [00:24:31] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:24:32] Speaker A: But in terms of preparation, what people don't understand, the price of everything also goes up right before the hurricane. [00:24:37] Speaker E: Yes. [00:24:37] Speaker A: If you really say, you know what? Prepare yourself. The hurricanes are stage three. Yeah. It's going into stage four, and it's heading our way almost immediate that the hardware stores and everybody, Everybody decided to raise their prices. [00:24:52] Speaker E: And the food store, they go in Joe's and they wait in the last minute to start shopping for those things, and they wait and so why can't government. [00:25:01] Speaker A: Why can't government control that man? If we're about to be in trouble, yes, you can let them raise the [00:25:06] Speaker E: prices, take advantage and advance to people in their vulnerable time. And they just, you know, they know that people need these items. They need these items. So let me just make a few. Put more. Few more dollars on it to make a profit. My God, more than the profit, I should say. [00:25:20] Speaker A: And then we call ourselves a Christian nation. [00:25:22] Speaker C: Serious. [00:25:22] Speaker A: You see, they saying, you all us in trouble and you will raise the price on everybody. I don't think that's fair, man. No, I think we need to put some type of regulation and price or price control or somebody to monitor this type of activity. Mr. [00:25:33] Speaker C: Beats and then not only that, but the opposite also applies. When the economy is doing their good, they don't drop the prices. [00:25:40] Speaker E: No. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Well listen, your man this year has gotten Talk Radio today 96.9 FM, Garfield Rose, Barrow having a good chat about being prepared. The next hurricane may be near. We're not certain yet, but I think it rained when yesterday and it flooded Bay Street. [00:25:58] Speaker E: Yes. I don't see that I got caught. [00:26:00] Speaker C: I was trying to figure out where that was. [00:26:01] Speaker E: No, that was in and I went, I went to Elute. I went to doing an interview yesterday at Zness and I had to go out Montague from there. So I, I went on and I was on Collins Avenue when I got the, when I got to Collins Avenue near Dr. So I saw all these cars heading, heading back the opposite way. I said wonder why they and it was raining and I said I wonder why they they going back. It don't make no sense. So I particularly went through. I went past the Tribune and went at that service road back there. And then as I started going further east, the water started rising. Rising, rising. And then I saw a little Japanese car stuck in the water. [00:26:40] Speaker A: Stuck. [00:26:41] Speaker E: Yes. And then the water started coming in my car, my Jeep. I drive a Jeep in a Jeep. Yeah. And water start coming in. So I had to pull off and go on, on Hawkins Hill and turn [00:26:52] Speaker A: it the highest point. [00:26:53] Speaker E: Highest point. Yeah. [00:26:53] Speaker A: Let's talk about the highest point when we come back. We're going to take a quick break call I see on the line. Just hold the line. Take a commercial break. We'll be right back.

And we are back and on the board want to give a special shout out to him and his family and all of the Guardian executive staff management. We're just grateful for being here to speak to you today about being prepared and we're looking at the highest point. Wayne, he was telling us about his experience yesterday. Just a little bit of water dropped on the island. I don't know if it's a little bit. I don't know if you measured it, Wayne, but that little bit of water caused some havoc yesterday. How much water was that? [00:30:16] Speaker E: It did. I know in Miami it did the same thing in Miami. Miami, a record mode. And that would be in western mode. Now the interesting thing at the airport, it was not much because it wasn't raining. It was storming in in the mid New Providence. But in the western New Providence, there's no rain. Yeah, when I went. I live in the west. [00:30:34] Speaker A: That's what you all get for chopping on all our trees out there. Stop it. Stop it. Let me take a call. [00:30:38] Speaker C: I'm Kasserina's Inc. [00:30:39] Speaker A: They call it alive. The pine trees doing good, my friend. Sorry for having you hold so long. [00:30:44] Speaker D: Yeah, thank you, man. I just want to give a shout out to Mr. Beard. That's my brethren from Oswald. [00:30:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, man. [00:30:54] Speaker D: But I just want to say what's up? [00:30:55] Speaker C: What's up? What's up? [00:30:56] Speaker D: About difference between price increase and price gouging. [00:31:00] Speaker A: Yes. [00:31:01] Speaker D: Where's the threshold limit? [00:31:03] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:31:04] Speaker D: No, there's a threshold between being an unethical and legal. There's a threshold between going to visit someone on their property and trespassing. Who decides to threshold on increasing price and price gouging. I'll hang up and listen to what you have to say. [00:31:22] Speaker A: I appreciate that call. Let me take another caller real quick. Go ahead, call you live call you there. Hey, how you doing, buddy? [00:31:30] Speaker D: Right here, man. [00:31:31] Speaker A: I'm trying to have an educational, informative show today. Try not to fight nobody or cuss nobody. [00:31:37] Speaker D: Yeah, hurricane bring the human family in a sober mind too. And they're good. Hurricane man are dreadful, [00:31:54] Speaker A: you see. Yeah. [00:31:55] Speaker D: When they hear. But how can they get dreadful? People say they don't have no money, they run to the. They die and they do whatever they want to do because why they know what it is. You know, I could recall going to the monastery. My mother took us there because I don't think the house was really strong enough to bear the storm. And when that is over, it's not like when that is over, you feel a refresh. You'll be praying. But now when you be praying, you telling God, send the hurricane. Send it. Well, if you say send it to someplace else, then you want some other country to be, you understand? Or send it in the sea. Then you want a fisher scenario. So in other words, Mr. Neely is there and he. I believe he can tell us how horror can really happen. [00:33:03] Speaker A: You in the spirit? They were talking about that on the break. So you will hear what they have to say. But you are in the spirit. Okay, I appreciate your call, man. Let me take this other call, a call of you live. This is Guardian talk radio. [00:33:16] Speaker D: He's sitting down there with you. Your good cousin brings up the topic on price control when it comes to Spencey going back home tonight. [00:33:27] Speaker A: Boy, listen to me. Somebody can get robbed in South Andrews. You didn't know that many houses can [00:33:33] Speaker D: get a robbed coming back, Mr. Neely. When you're coming back, just bring your only white cousin a dozen cry back when you come dying. [00:33:39] Speaker A: No problem. [00:33:39] Speaker E: I'll get you some crab. Yeah, that's no problem. [00:33:42] Speaker A: My God, you got to bring cry from Andrews now, huh? [00:33:46] Speaker E: I mean, and everybody hear me. Everybody here ain't going on, so everybody waiting to listen. [00:33:49] Speaker A: And that's what we like people to do. We like people to tote load for us. That's what we do. Yeah, we like people who carry burdens for us, carry load for us. You know, I'm gonna Say, you know what, let me give them $50 to bring me back when they're load of crap. [00:34:00] Speaker E: Are you going to Miami so you [00:34:01] Speaker A: can make 120 for yourself? Yeah, no, I believe she's a good person. I think she deserves some crap. But yeah, you know, still, still bless you anyhow. Blessing, eh because you got to pay for a ticket to get there. [00:34:11] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:34:12] Speaker A: And you got to spend some money when you go down there. Local economy drink, that's what, $70. [00:34:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:34:17] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I know what time it is in South Anderson. But listen, on the break we were talking about the high point here in Nassau and the caller made a very good point talking about the advantages of hurricanes and of course there are also the disadvantages. Let's get back to the conversation quickly with the high point before we get to the price gouging and everything in your province. If, if a hurricane stage five category five was to hit, let's start in Yamakro and curve and make its way across a stretch to Clifton Pale before it turns to the north and touches the North Andros Barry Islands and then slam and turn back to Abaco and slingshot back to Grand Bahama. What type of numbers we looking at, Mr. Neely? [00:35:04] Speaker E: It's going to be great. Especially nowadays because with climate change what happened now is you get flooding and a lot of flooding and low lying. There are areas that when I came to New Providence, areas that never flooded in Nassau. Nowadays you just had afternoon thunderstorm. Like I said yesterday I was in the west, right. West east of Commonwealth bank on East Bay street there. You couldn't pass that way. And whenever, whenever the rain, just afternoon thunderstorm, you get up to three feet of water. Water, yes, it was at least three feet yesterday in the streets and not only that and the service road as well along with. So in other words, if you're going east, you can't go east anymore because you block from traveling east going towards the bridge. You can get up here because that road is on my Jeep I, I have a Honda CRE Jeep that that water started coming in that and that's very high. So you can imagine a little Japanese car. And with that what happens that water table is much higher now than normal. So it's going to take less rainfall to flood an area because climate change are melting, the water level is much higher. So with just afternoon thunderstorm you get flooding. Now whenever you have flooding in New Providence, it times that by a factor. Afternoon thunderstorm you times by a factor of four. In other words times that four times that's what you're going to get During a Category 1 hurricane, the minimum of a category. So you will see the flooding that we'll have throughout the new province and that along with downpours and trees across the street, this is going to be catastrophic. [00:36:32] Speaker C: So I have a question about the water table. Is it that the water table has risen or is it that our drains and stuff are overly clogged? [00:36:42] Speaker E: No, it's not drain. I saw that they were cleaning drains yesterday and day before I actually saw them clean the drain. [00:36:47] Speaker C: Do they do like an in depth cleaning or is this like a surface cleaning? [00:36:49] Speaker E: And they did, they did some according to the minister at the time he stated that they're going to fix that problem. They did, they did fix the part. I put fix in quotation marks about last year I saw them, I saw a whole bunch of them working on drain technician from Ministry of Works and still a whole bunch of people in the doc near doctor's hospital area. They were fixing the drains there but apparently that didn't work. Problems that you can't, you, you fixing the drain but you, you creating a problem you can't solve. [00:37:19] Speaker A: I want, I want to fix that problem on the show. But let me take this call. A call you live. Go ahead. [00:37:23] Speaker D: Good afternoon everybody. Good to hear from you. Mr. Neely, it's been a while and good to hear from you again. God, thank you. This is Scott Johnson from Wild Bahamas. [00:37:33] Speaker A: My boy, what's happening man? [00:37:34] Speaker D: It's good man, everything is good. [00:37:36] Speaker A: I still wait on you to come hail us. [00:37:38] Speaker D: Well one day, one day I can come true. So very interesting conversation. So just a little bit of highlights. One just for people who may not know, Hurricanes bring about 25. So even though they are destructive, they are also super beneficial. If nobody has talked about that yet. [00:37:54] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:37:57] Speaker D: So with regards to them crab, I remember I also read the article that said that crab numbers are being depleted across the West Indies. [00:38:06] Speaker A: Yes. [00:38:06] Speaker D: And then there was the little, the little nugget about maybe we could send some crabs to those other islands. So now we just got to be mindful of the, the genetics of the outland crab compared to other countries. Even though we may have similar species. Cartasoma, Guanumae Catastorum, Chicharcinus, ruricola, the whiteland crab and the blackland crab. Genetically speaking they may be genetically different from us even though they may be the same species we have, for example kamelamy trees in the Bahamas are genetically different or maybe genetically different from the malamute trees and say Cuba and Puerto Rico and stuff like that because of different environmental factors. So just wanted to throw that out there. And with regards to the hurricane, the hurricane conversation, I think that one of the interesting things about hurricanes as well is you also got to be mindful of the speed at which the hurricane is moving. Because you could have a cat one that's moving at one mile per hour and then you could have a cat five that's moving at 20 miles per hour. [00:39:12] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:39:13] Speaker D: And so those are the factors that can affect the, the amount of water and the amount of damage that can happen. Hurricane, a big hurricane, a Cat 5 is still going to cause considerable damage, but fast moving Cat 5 can be less detrimental in my opinion. Less detrimental than a slow moving cat one or two that's only moving by one or two miles per hour or over New Providence. And either way you put it, a slow moving Cat 5 over New Providence is going to destroy basically this whole island. Scott Johnson decided on New Providence 24 hours like it did the Dorian. [00:39:48] Speaker A: Scott Johnson. [00:39:48] Speaker D: That's my contribution. [00:39:50] Speaker A: Don't go. Don't go, Scott. Give us your information. Tell them who you are, give you a title. Give me your number out. Because you know, we got these cane, we call them the cane frogs, cane toads. Cane toads. You got, you got some people who got some snakes in the house, you got some, some other visitors in your house. Scott Johnson is the man. Give them your little commercial break, my brother. I got that for you. [00:40:09] Speaker D: I appreciate that. [00:40:10] Speaker A: Go ahead. [00:40:10] Speaker D: So, everybody, my name is Scott Johnson. I'm a wildlife biologist and the founder and CEO of Wild Bahamas Group of Companies limited And I can assist you with a wide variety of terrestrial environmental things in the country that includes animal capture and relocation. If you got snakes in your house, if you got snakes in the roof, if you got snakes in your area and you want them removed, you give me a call. If you got cane toads in your yard, especially out west, you could give me a contact. You call me. If you need some botanical surveys done for your permit to harvest protected trees, which is an important document and it's supposed to be for anybody who's going to be developing on the islands in the country, you need to have a permit before you can permit to harvest protective trees, before you could do any land clearing. That's, that's the law. And I also do research work and a host of other things. So you can give me a call at 432-9172 or you could visit my website at www.wild-thomas. [00:41:10] Speaker C: Hey, Scott. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Scott, before you go, you. [00:41:11] Speaker C: You get anything for snakes on your job? [00:41:16] Speaker A: People just remove people. [00:41:19] Speaker D: No, man, that's. That's a. That's a different story. That's a different time than place. Yeah. [00:41:24] Speaker E: He was talking about benefits. [00:41:25] Speaker A: Thank you so much, God. Yeah. [00:41:26] Speaker E: He's talking about the benefits of hurricanes [00:41:28] Speaker A: before we get there. I want to go back to this idea of the high point before we even get to the benefits of the hurricane. Because you were talking about Hawkins Hill. Yes, and I was talking about how the little droplets of water has caused this mass flooding. Now, you people, you live in Pinewood Gardens. I always tease. They call it Pine Lakes. Right. As a child, I never witnessed that much flooding. When hurricanes came through, there was minimal flooding, but of course, it wasn't that much. I recognized that between south beach, if you go on top of the hill, east street, south by Calvary Deliverance Church, and you look towards downtown, you realize that there's a bowl in the middle of the island. [00:42:04] Speaker E: Yes. [00:42:04] Speaker A: Because the cruise ship is in the far distance, but the road seems to go down a slope and coming back up towards the east street hill. So I know that that's a huge bowl right there. And then I'm looking at how every year, you people keep demanding more and more homes. So there's land clearing, and then the. The calcium carbonate, the limestone, you're dredging that in order to use that for fill for your foundations. So if you're taking the earth's foundations and putting it into a building, when the hurricane comes, when that water comes, you're creating a deeper bowl. [00:42:41] Speaker E: Yes. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Then you're removing the trees, which are the coniferous trees, that will absorb a lot of this water into their trunks, you see? And you don't have that either. And so there's no proper town planning, it seems to me, in the Bahamas. So when it comes to people like Wayne Neely, when it comes to disaster relief agency, when it comes to town plan, these are people that should be working together to come with the plan. So you know what? No more construction in New Providence. If you're going to get some fill, you got to come from another island or you got to find an alternative material to fill these foundations. Because if we keep on dredging Nassau, Nassau is going to sink. That is what is now happening. Water is everywhere. So water also brings mosquitoes, those cane toads that you're talking about, they can now swim and go to new areas throughout the island. So you're spreading that particular problem as well. They're looking at other illnesses. They Got all type of other diseases. It gets complicated. And all of this is a result of one hurricane. You can't imagine what that could possibly do in a long term effect. [00:43:41] Speaker E: Yes. And next. [00:43:43] Speaker C: So talk a little bit about the positive effects of hurricane. I think people, people often, you know, brand hurricanes as a bad thing, you [00:43:50] Speaker E: know what I mean? [00:43:50] Speaker C: They don't, they don't see any positives in hurricane. So I wanted to touch a little bit on that. [00:43:55] Speaker E: Yeah, well, hurricanes have several benefits. Without hurricanes, none of us at least. Yeah. [00:43:59] Speaker A: First positive for the baby. First positive. We ain't got to go to wake. We ain't got to go to wake. [00:44:07] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:44:08] Speaker A: The bad side of that is you can't get to see your sweetheart. You got to stay home. I only joking, go ahead. [00:44:14] Speaker E: Well, hurricanes act as the earth filter system. Hurricanes are the same thing in that air conditioned filter on your place in your house. Hurricanes are the same thing for the earth. They cleanse the earth of atmosphere, pollutant toxins and gas. Without the hurricane, if you take hurricane out of the earth, the earth will get progressively. The air would get more and more polluted. So you wouldn't have, you'll have a more, you have a toxic air that we wouldn't be able to survive. My God, you take hurricanes out. 60% of the tropic rainfall in the tropics come from hurricanes. If you take that away, places like water, Acapula water, Chelsea Chase and none of this. And those people who depend on water industry for manufacturing and what have you, that would, that would be depleted, you won't have that no more. Hurricanes also arc as the earth's heat distributor. It takes heat from the equator and transfers to the pole tons of heat comes. The hurricane takes that heat from the equator, it forms an equator and takes it towards the poles. And unfortunately, because God gave that hurricane one man, they take heat from the equator and transmit the poles. If that don't occur, the crater get progressively hotter and hotter, not support life. And the poles will get progressively colder and not support life. But hurricanes act as the earth's balance of heat. It takes that heat from the equator, transfers to poles. Now the cold front on the other hand takes pole out to the equator. Now it never ever, the cold front never ever gets to the equator. The hurricane ever never gets to the poles. So you have ongoing processes cycle. And that's a cycle that God created. And if you try and take hurricanes out of this earth that would not survive. Hurricanes also killed, killed, dead or dying or weak. Trees or dead animals or weak Animals and. And only the strong survive. So in other words, the survival of the fittest survive to continue the gene technology into other stronger plants, vibrant plants as well. And animals. [00:46:12] Speaker A: Those are just some of the benefits. Let's take this call and then Mr. Bees is going to read a few texts on our text line. Go ahead, Callie. Live. [00:46:18] Speaker D: Hey, Gucci. God. How you doing? [00:46:20] Speaker A: Doing good. My friend didn't want you to hold too long. [00:46:21] Speaker D: I forgot to mention, right, that the pine forest does not just absorb the water, it actually blocks the hurricane force winds from blowing off your roof. And second thing, if you want to prevent basically hurricane force winds, right, what you do is you use a shallow overhang. Opposed to going like for 2 foot overhang, you probably go like for 1 foot or probably a shallow or probably 6 inch overwind to avoid the give it outside of look, right? But you take off that wind, force the lift. And also when you notice them round them ugly roundhouses. Every single hurricane. [00:46:59] Speaker A: Yeah, Yellow elder. [00:47:01] Speaker D: Remember we used to call them the Smurf house? [00:47:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:47:07] Speaker D: Every single hurricane. [00:47:09] Speaker A: But I know this crab bought houses last hurricanes too. [00:47:11] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. [00:47:12] Speaker A: If you go to Topham, you go to Topham Bay. All them houses standing. [00:47:15] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, but something, it's something to review and revise. But like I say, boy, they owe me a sin. [00:47:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm calling people themselves. Yeah, man, I appreciate you man. Listen, your folks in Scott and Talk Radio 9 6.9 FM. We got some texts on the line. Text. Go ahead Mr. Beads. [00:47:35] Speaker C: All right. One text that says road church. You need to relax after the rush behind the rich folks, you know, just eat your. [00:47:45] Speaker A: What? [00:47:45] Speaker C: Eat your mama. God, hold your head and forget the dirty politicians. You think they ain't give you food? You think they can give you dirt? So then another text that says, tell Wayne Neely if he going home this holiday, bring his only white cousins back some crabs. Only a dozen. Another text that says, good day. I was in Jamaica for Gilbert as a five year old boy. My dad was doing his postgraduate studies in surgery. We saw the roof of the wash house fly off with the wind. These things stay with you for life. Another text that says, [00:48:20] Speaker A: didn't the government [00:48:21] Speaker C: just sign a multimillion dollar deal with a weather group to provide isolated early warning for these weather systems. That would tell us precisely which neighborhood is going to experience heavy rainfall as back swim. Why is. Why is everyone still being surprised by severe flooding? Wherever it may be, there is a law outlawing price gouging. While they may identify the items price Control still has to perform an investigation. Don't forget that much of the land that used collect water is now covered in concrete together with decimation of trees that suck up the water and massive unregulated construction. In terms of for every 100 houses in a square mile we need X amount of open land for runoff and [00:49:12] Speaker E: cut down all the trees. [00:49:13] Speaker C: All right, one other text says also bear in mind it's not just the speed of the hurricane, of the storm. Another hurricane says hi God, please ask Scott why we have these black egrets, pelican looking birds all over Nassau now. Growing up we didn't have them. And last texter says guess about geoengineering, how various governments around the world, especially the US government uses geoengineering for climate change. [00:49:39] Speaker E: Yeah.

Y' all ready for this? Me Telling people crazy things for me While I winning I winning on my [00:52:17] Speaker C: name Trying to bring me to shame To Guardian Radio. Welcome back to Guardian Radio Talk with your boy, Mr. Beats. That's one of my newest songs right there. I went in, I went in and so, yeah, the song's gone viral. It's taking off so many people loving it and vibing to it. But we had a day talking about hurricanes, man. This is the beginning of hurricane season, if I'm correct. I think it starts June 1st, ends November 31st. Right? Yeah. So we got about a few more months before it ends. But we're here with the one and only Wayne Neely, myself and God Roseborough. And yeah, we about to kick this the remainder of the show off and touch on a few topics. One of the things I want to ask you though, Wayne, you said something to me that was very impressive and I know we kind of skimmed over it, but I want you to talk a little bit about how in the world you have written 18 books. Yeah, I think that's, that's amazing. Like where did it start? And you know, well, where can we find your books? You know, these books all about storms or what are they, what are the different topics, etc. [00:53:20] Speaker E: Well, they all. I have 18 books. I've just written one, the book for Jamaica, Jamaican government, okay. The greatest and deadliest hurricanes of Jamaica and also wrote a book for them is 1988, which actually you experience. Talk about God. And that that hurricane shut down Jamaica's tourism industry for five years. [00:53:38] Speaker A: That's correct. Wow. [00:53:40] Speaker E: So it, it cost 2.89. $2.92 billion. And during alone during cost 3.4 billion for the Bahamas and imagine that was in 88. So that was a significant amount. So it took years to recover the economy. And that's the impact of these hurricanes. Did they impact economy for years to follow. And we going to pay for that $3.4 billion from Dori. We're going to pay that for years and years that we still paying for it. Still paying for it. [00:54:06] Speaker A: Yes, yes. I think we've forgotten that we're still paying for that. Yeah. [00:54:09] Speaker E: You know, and my latest book, I have one on for the local ones, the Hurricane Andrew. Have just finished Hurricane Andrew and getting ready to publish that one. [00:54:16] Speaker D: Now. [00:54:16] Speaker C: What has been your most popular book [00:54:17] Speaker E: so far for the Dorian. Dorian was the New York Times bestseller. That was the biggest selling book then followed by the Hurricanes of the North Atlantic Degrees. Because I read a lot of book on behemoth hurricanes. Most of my books on Bahamian. But most of my books are sold throughout the world and most of the universities in the United States use my book as research materials for my book especially in the mythological classes. [00:54:45] Speaker C: Nice. [00:54:45] Speaker E: And so they use my books as research material. And my biggest sellers the Hurricanes of North Atlantic. And the biggest selling local book is the the greatest and deadliest hurricanes the impact the Bahams followed by the hurricane of 1929. [00:54:59] Speaker A: I like that. Where. Where can we get. [00:55:00] Speaker C: Where can be humans get your books? [00:55:03] Speaker E: Logos logos in har shopping center. But they're also available on all online bookstores Amazon bands bands and old books a million wherever and they just have [00:55:11] Speaker C: to type in Wayne. [00:55:13] Speaker E: Yes so vainly. And you buy it as an e ebook, as a soft cover, as a hardback. Most persons nowadays, the younger persons are buying the ebooks now. Hard books is like a thing at the past now mostly not really. [00:55:27] Speaker C: Are there any future books that you're working on right now that you want to. [00:55:30] Speaker E: Yeah, I finished the greatest and Delhi hurricane of Jamaica. I just finished up Jamaican government that's going to be released in two weeks. I have one on hurricane Andrew that should be released shortly as well. And my last book for the behemoth in terms of behemoth hurricanes would be the hurricanes of 1912. [00:55:45] Speaker A: Okay. [00:55:46] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:55:46] Speaker A: Great writings, man. Phone numbers folks to call in are 323-623-2325-431632-54259. Anywhere from the family of Island 300-5720 text in at 422-4796. Talk about being prepared, man. If you have endured a hurricane here in the Bahamas, you want to share your experience, share your story, tell us some tips. What did you do in order to protect your loved ones and yourself? We want to hear that because we know that some of you were flooded by water. You may have had 2ft of water, 4ft of water. I don't know. I know at one particular hurricane. How do you pronounce that one? It was a Joachim. How do you pronounce that word? [00:56:24] Speaker E: Joaquin. [00:56:25] Speaker A: Joaquin, yes. Yeah. You know we mix up people name and thing. You know, Hurricane Joaquin. But I recall I was in my bed and about 3, 4 o' clock in the morning. I mean it was dry outside before that. I mean when I say dry water was out there, but not water water. But there's something called a spring tide. Yes. My God. When I went downstairs the water was like to my knees and I'm like, where did all this water come from? All of a sudden? Flooded. The Whole first floor. What's going on with that? Does that happen? How does that work? [00:56:51] Speaker E: Well, the spring tide comes when the moon is full. And you get that. You get. Sometimes the hurricane lands at spring tide and high tide. So that's the worst possible scenario, spring tide and high tide. Because the spring tide is the highest high tide and the lowest low tide. But with spring tide, so you have the highest high tide ever. And you also have high tide, I mean high tide and spring tide. That exacerbates the flooding, especially in low light. [00:57:20] Speaker A: One thing I can tell you all, but I don't care what hurricane hit the Bahamas. Two things I know will survive. The pot cakes and the latrine, the outdoor toilet, them two ain't going nowhere. Now this I recall. [00:57:31] Speaker C: And Jones says too, don't forget them. [00:57:33] Speaker A: In Adelaide, right during the same hurricane, the. The cemetery there, the casket came out the hole, floated up out the hole. Listen, listen, listen, listen. [00:57:46] Speaker C: Night of the Living Dead. [00:57:48] Speaker A: The thing flow down the road. True story. Stop lying. [00:57:55] Speaker E: Listen man, the coffin floats up. [00:57:58] Speaker A: This is what I want to tell you about this free. [00:58:01] Speaker E: The water gets very weak and so the coffin automatically notice I'm there on the beach. [00:58:06] Speaker C: Okay? [00:58:07] Speaker A: And so what happened? Now, you know there's a bridge between Adelaide proper and then the beach side of Adelaide. A little, small little bridge. This casket went across the bridge. It ain't gone in the creek. Listen, I tell you all the truth. God knows. [00:58:22] Speaker C: God, when you get stopped, listen, it, [00:58:23] Speaker A: God, listen, I tell you it gone across the creek. And guess where the casket gone in the church going back to where it come from, where she used to live. God, I tell you the truth. Now, see, God, if you don't believe me. If you don't believe me, go to Adelaide, right then there, Avery's on the right hand side there. There's a lady who's 88 years old and there's another lady right there in the yard. [00:58:45] Speaker C: Who was in the coffin? A male or female. [00:58:47] Speaker A: The family member and the castle come to the door, their door and the cast are bumping up against the door like that. [00:58:54] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:58:55] Speaker A: God. And then they had to go broadcasting. I telling you, I telling you true. So, so. So sometime, you know, the hurricane could bring you some relatives who've gone beyond to say hello. [00:59:06] Speaker C: Bring them back. [00:59:08] Speaker A: Just saying, you see some howling and [00:59:09] Speaker C: some living in my house. [00:59:15] Speaker E: Florida, in Wilma as well. In, in Grand Mahama with Wilma coffin in Florida, in. Yeah. Eight Mile York Cemetery. Yeah. And floated out of the coffin and they had to rebate. We bury the bodies again, that's what happens. And that happened on several hurricanes. [00:59:28] Speaker A: Well, I want to know from you all too, including you, Wayne, Eely and Mr. Beads, if a Hurricane 5 came this way, Category 5 came this way, I will know where you personally would like to find refuge. What would be the top. Jesus, Lord. Would it be the top ceiling in terms of land topography? Where would you want to go in terms of the topography or which shelter would be of preference to you calling you live. This is garden talk radio, 96.9 FM. Go ahead, call her. [00:59:59] Speaker D: Hey, God, good day to you and your guest. [01:00:01] Speaker A: Hey, man, good day. [01:00:02] Speaker D: I know where I like to be. Hawkinsville. The highest point. Wrong. [01:00:07] Speaker E: Yeah, but the strongest winds are going to be there. [01:00:10] Speaker C: That's where the strongest winds are going to be. [01:00:12] Speaker E: How you go, the stronger the winds are in hurricane. [01:00:15] Speaker D: But you can get drunk. [01:00:16] Speaker E: If you go down, you have to find them a medium balance. [01:00:20] Speaker C: So I would want to go into bridge. [01:00:21] Speaker A: Sweet. [01:00:23] Speaker D: My experience with a hurricane, with hurricane David. They were living up on Moore Avenue then. And God, I can tell you a lie on ASHA radio. That's the most pear, avocado, pear I ever eat in my life. And a good thing the hurricane didn't stay long because my mommy bake a boat 8 loaf of bread. And that next day, all of us was looking for the butter, the bread to eat because then the hour can just run over because we didn't eat all the food before the hour can finish. [01:00:53] Speaker A: You're all greedy, man. [01:00:55] Speaker D: We just eaten, man. We had more pears. The avocado pears was like icy. Wow. [01:01:02] Speaker A: Well, tell me something before you go. If you had a choice to stock up on food before a hurricane hit, like right now, you wouldn't wait to hear vainly say, oh, a hurricane is on its way. Just to say every house. What food provision would you put in the house right now? [01:01:17] Speaker D: I'll get things like, like the viny and the can. I get things like tuna, sardine. I'll get. Get things like you need a lot of bread. I went with no meat and no ting because when the current go up, that's it with them. So I a lot of canned things I stalk about. [01:01:37] Speaker A: All right. [01:01:37] Speaker D: A lot of cat, lot of like sodas, baby juice, you know. [01:01:43] Speaker A: Okay, well, I appreciate you calling my friend, Julian. Man, that's bamboo town right there. Let me take another call to call you Life. [01:01:50] Speaker D: Hello. [01:01:50] Speaker A: Hey, how you doing, my friend? [01:01:51] Speaker D: Yeah, sorry, not sorry to call back, but in the 1929 hurricane, my mother was born September 23, 1920. They lived in a two story wooden home on the corner of Camp Road, Shirley Street. My mother told her that when the 19 Hurricane, 1929 Hurricane, their father, the bunch of them was there and with her mother he tied a knife, maybe a 1 inch rope around every like one wrap around each child about 4ft apart and bind them all together in case anything should happen. They wouldn't go missing or all that'll go together. And he went. She told me that when it started, he went to the front door to close the front door and as he turned his back to walk back towards them to tie him in, the door flew open and knock him straight across the nobody wall into the next wall. And he was knocked out for about three hours and nobody knew what to do. And she told me she remembered that story. God bless the dead. She died in 1966, the same year the money changed. Have a good day. [01:03:08] Speaker A: Thank you. Sparky. Let me take another call to call you Life. [01:03:11] Speaker D: You got any place they won't go in the hurricane? American Embassy. [01:03:19] Speaker A: That's a good one. That's a good one. [01:03:21] Speaker D: 68 degrees. God. 2 the internally in buffering. [01:03:25] Speaker C: No. [01:03:26] Speaker D: What street? Well, they got some good food up there. God. You can imagine your boy walk around the box in the American embassy doing Oregon. [01:03:32] Speaker A: We'd have to call you Mr. President, but that is a good building to go to. I think that would be a very safe place. Are there any. Are there other. Any other embassies that you could think about? It would be just as strong or a good place to go. [01:03:47] Speaker E: Chinese. [01:03:48] Speaker A: You can go to the Chinese embassy. [01:03:49] Speaker E: Yeah, Chinese should be. [01:03:51] Speaker A: You won't go to either. [01:03:52] Speaker E: I've got American. American Embassy. They probably get bulletproof glass. [01:03:57] Speaker A: China may have the same thing. But then by the time you leave the Chinese embassy, America will be watching you. So we're nearly Matt. Why isn't Andros hit like since 1929? Like that's so weird to me. Like everyone at one point we thought it was going to hit South Andros and it went straight across Cuba and went into Mexico about South Anders. That stops the storms from coming. [01:04:21] Speaker E: They do get hit. Actually Andrus is in terms of the Bahamas, Andrus, Abaco, Grand Mahama and Lutra. The most impacted areas of. In fact most impacted areas. [01:04:32] Speaker A: Andros. [01:04:33] Speaker E: Yeah, because it's a big land. It's. [01:04:35] Speaker A: We don't hear nothing in Andros. [01:04:36] Speaker E: Yeah, we get. We get. We were impacted by what was. That was 2016. Machu. [01:04:41] Speaker C: Oh yeah, I remember Machu. But Matthew did to y' all Matthew mess up Nassau. [01:04:45] Speaker E: Yes. People had to, they had to rescue five to six hundred persons in Matthew in South beach because they were, they were during the storm they did. They would want to move out that area. They did not move. Most of them stayed in their homes. [01:05:01] Speaker A: These people stubborn and during the peak [01:05:02] Speaker E: of the storm they started calling Zedness and they started calling the police station to tell them look, what is that? Where's. Where is that Belcos or top window level. Elson Greensley and Leon Battle. Leon Battle they made decision. They decided to send backhoes and dump trucks into the storm during the peak of the storm to rescue those persons. So they rescued five to six hundred persons in dump trucks and backhoes and got them into safe, safe location. [01:05:33] Speaker A: But nobody say thank you enough to say man listen, we do a good job in the Times. [01:05:38] Speaker E: That's part you don't hear about it. And because if that did not occur I think we would, we would have definitely had debts in Matt. So five single person when it comes to Dorian. On the other hand they were getting called soon Dorian as well. But the police say no, you're on your own. And tell you what I noticed about [01:05:58] Speaker C: Matthew 2 that I remember that was interesting to me. A lot of big dump trees with them big wide trunks. [01:06:04] Speaker E: Yes. [01:06:05] Speaker C: Like cotton trees or whatever type of trees they was. Like a lot of them fell and they hit a lot of lines because [01:06:10] Speaker A: we were, we were without power for [01:06:12] Speaker C: a very long time. [01:06:12] Speaker E: Yes. [01:06:13] Speaker C: But I remember it's like why did all these trees, these big, big trees decide to fall at the same time? [01:06:18] Speaker E: I was out of electricity for a month. [01:06:20] Speaker A: Yes. [01:06:21] Speaker C: I was out a long time. I remember that. [01:06:22] Speaker E: Yeah. Big tree went across the transformers in [01:06:24] Speaker C: my area because I was living Johnson Road at the time. And I remember when you come up. When you come off of East Bay and you come up to a little hill, big, big tree was there and had a whole of Johnson Road block off. [01:06:34] Speaker A: My God. Let me take another call. I'll call you Life. [01:06:36] Speaker D: Hey God, how you doing? I was, I went through Hurricane Matthew too. That was. Matthew was kind of blessing for me. [01:06:43] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [01:06:44] Speaker D: But we, we were. We're living on out in Hana Road area and we got like three feet of water inside the home. But it's a lot of apartments and stuff in the back there. People roof got blown off but that was because of bad construction. I didn't, I didn't even lose much single off of my roof. But I but we suffer a lot of flooding. I think. I think hope scron was, was, was the MP in that area. Everywhere was flooded. Sea Breeze, all up in I area. Liberty, Miami Craw, the Linden Penland estate, all them suffered. That little Nassau village, all them suffers suffer damage and election they still vote out. She was really working hard in that area to try and help people. But I got refugees from insurance. I had my place insured. [01:07:41] Speaker A: Well, you know, right now people, we're talking about innovation and starting small businesses as we. Thank you so much my friend. As we go into the hurricane season, there's nothing wrong with starting to stockpile on things like shingles. [01:07:55] Speaker E: Things. Yeah. [01:07:55] Speaker A: On roofing, plywood, etc. These things can always sell. These are non perishable items that can always be sold. And so it's now time to think outside the box. [01:08:06] Speaker E: Now it's time to get your roof fixed. If you have leaky roof or windows or door that needs to repair. Because during a hurricane that would be, that would be a weak. A weak point for the hurricane to devastate your home. [01:08:17] Speaker A: So that's correct. [01:08:18] Speaker E: And if you need hurricane insurance, now it's the time to talk about hurricane insurance and stock one food supplies. And then while it's. It's quiet. [01:08:27] Speaker A: Right. [01:08:27] Speaker E: Get. You don't have to go to foods and buy a whole ton. If you buy in, let's say you buy four Cantona normally a month. [01:08:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:08:35] Speaker E: Get. Go get six cans and start stockpiling. Every month I start stockpiling. So rather than wait until the last minute I just know that storm's coming and rush to the food side. Everybody goes crazy and shopping like crazy and that's it. [01:08:50] Speaker C: I have a question about the, the path of hurricanes. [01:08:52] Speaker A: Let me take this. Call it real quick first. Call it. Go ahead, live. Sorry for that, Mr. Beats. Go ahead, call her. Go ahead, call her. Yeah, you're online. [01:09:01] Speaker D: Oh, oh, oh. Okay. [01:09:04] Speaker A: You go ahead. [01:09:06] Speaker D: Hi. Good day. [01:09:07] Speaker A: Good day, my dear. [01:09:09] Speaker D: I. I just wanted to say I. [01:09:11] Speaker B: What I remember about Matthew Matthews because [01:09:14] Speaker D: I have a lot of fruit trees [01:09:15] Speaker B: in my yard and I remember having [01:09:17] Speaker D: to get someone to try and assist with replanting and all of that. [01:09:23] Speaker B: But I, I also heard the gentleman say that if the higher up you [01:09:29] Speaker D: go then you have to be con. [01:09:30] Speaker B: The more concerned you have to be about the wind. [01:09:33] Speaker A: Yes. [01:09:34] Speaker B: So what I would like. I know he said try to find somewhere like medium ground level, but could you give us any examples on the island of New Providence where those areas would be? Because I live in the western area, but I live on a hill. It's the most elevated point in My neighborhood. And I know during the storms that the wind is always a concern for me because coming over Goodman's Bay, it literally sounds as if the wind is talking. [01:10:09] Speaker E: Yes. [01:10:10] Speaker D: So could you give us, you know, examples in Central. [01:10:14] Speaker E: And there's a natural ridge that extends all across the island. Let's say they cut down hills in Dasnair, Gardiners and Blue Hill Road. [01:10:24] Speaker A: Tragedy. [01:10:25] Speaker E: Yeah, they cut down huge tragedy. They used that fill for natural use to fill for. For building houses and development. And so you cutting down natural barrier for hurricanes and a reservoir and. Reservoir, yes, that's correct. [01:10:39] Speaker D: For water. [01:10:40] Speaker A: Yeah. I hate that. Someone mentioned to me, Ms. Francis Johnson said that probably the safest place in Nassau is probably stapled in gardens area. That's something we have to look at. You talked about the past, Mr. Beast, before we take the next caller? [01:10:53] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, no, I just wanted to know somebody had told me one time that hurricanes, they have to travel, they always come from Africa this way. Is that true? [01:11:01] Speaker E: No. There's four types of hurricanes impacting the North Atlantic and the ones that come from Africa, what we call the Cape Worthy type hurricanes. And that's about. It comes off the African coast as tropical or easterly waves and into the Atlantic and then into the Caribbean and over the Bahamas. You also have some forming in the southern Caribbean Sea, what we call the Caribbean southern Caribbean Sea type hurricane that tend to move either westward or northward from its inception. Then you also have the Bahama Busters, which is named after the Bahamas because it forms just east of the Bahamas and moves across the Bahamas either as a tropical depression or a tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane and move westward into either in the Gulf of Mexico or into. [01:11:46] Speaker C: Where did Dorian come from? [01:11:48] Speaker E: Dorian came from Darwin was a Cape Worthy type hurricane. It came from the African coast that [01:11:53] Speaker C: had all ancestors, everybody. [01:11:54] Speaker E: Yeah, and I know that's what she was going. [01:11:56] Speaker A: You know, I watching you with one eye. Let me take this other call. Go ahead, call you live. [01:12:01] Speaker D: Hello. Good day, folks. How y' all doing? [01:12:03] Speaker A: Oh, you sound strong and beautiful. [01:12:06] Speaker D: Okay. Y' all okay. [01:12:09] Speaker C: You brushed it off quick. [01:12:10] Speaker A: Why you brushed me off like that, man? Go ahead. [01:12:13] Speaker B: Anyway, [01:12:16] Speaker D: I just joined the show just now, actually. Just the gentleman name is Neil or Neely. Which one? Neely. Neely Rain. [01:12:26] Speaker A: Neely. [01:12:28] Speaker B: Yeah. And he's a very. [01:12:29] Speaker D: He's professional. I'm telling you. He's got a couple of books. I got one in this house. [01:12:34] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:12:34] Speaker D: Okay. [01:12:35] Speaker B: But what I want to ask him about this right now. [01:12:38] Speaker D: You were saying or it's being reported that Is below expectation for this. [01:12:47] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:12:47] Speaker B: All right. [01:12:47] Speaker D: June is already here. Yes, but we will not have that. That a lot of hurricane storms, right? [01:12:55] Speaker E: Yes. Because El Nino right now this year. [01:12:58] Speaker D: Pardon? I can't even hear you. [01:13:00] Speaker E: Because of El Nino this year we have what you call a super. El new or what do you call super. In other words, a very intense El Nino. Which means that now with that the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration they going for eight to 14 name storms, six to 12, sorry, three to six hurricanes and one to three intense hurricanes, which is category three or higher. And not the Colorado State University is going for 13 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. And so that's significantly below average. The average is 14 named storms, 14.4 name storms, 7.2 hurricanes and 3.2 major hurricanes. So you're saying you're going to see a less, less amount of hurricanes. That, that doesn't mean that you should let your guard down because we could still have a Category 5 during a very low intense season. If you remember Hurricane Andrew. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 was during the low season. Yeah. We only had seven storms. The first storm was Hurricane Andrew which cut on the. Which occurred during the elections of 1992. And that was the first storm of Hurricane Andrew and it was the one and only major storm to impact. But it was one of the most devastating hurricanes to impact the Bahamas and devastated North Lutheran Kiatki and those other islands in North Bahamas. [01:14:21] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. So I mean I know they're saying [01:14:26] Speaker D: don't let your guard down. [01:14:28] Speaker E: No. [01:14:28] Speaker B: But you think it has to do [01:14:30] Speaker D: with this climate change to do why we're not. [01:14:33] Speaker E: No. El Nino is a natural. [01:14:34] Speaker D: My God. [01:14:35] Speaker E: El Nino, it's a naturally occurring. [01:14:38] Speaker D: That there's not going to be. You say only three. Only three. Serious. [01:14:43] Speaker E: That's. That's what they forecasting. That's just a forecast. Forecast could be wrong. You can have more than that or you can have less than that, but that's the average. They tend to go scientific theory of what the amount that they expecting this year and gives a range. [01:15:01] Speaker D: Maybe it's climate change thing. [01:15:03] Speaker E: Most not climate change. El Nino and La Nino, they. They. They naturally occurring weather events that occurs between every one. Sorry. Every two to three to seven years in intervals and they naturally has nothing to do with climate change. [01:15:18] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:15:18] Speaker A: Okay.

[01:19:17] Speaker A: This is Guardian Radio 96.9 FM. Fresh news, smart talk all day. [01:19:42] Speaker E: Down in South Andras in one church on the hill Church packed with brethren [01:19:48] Speaker D: dressed down to kill Raptor start his sermon but before we get in the groove. [01:19:56] Speaker C: Welcome back. Welcome back to Guardian Radio 96.9. We are here with the one and only Mr. Wayne Neely, myself and Mr. Beads Scott Roseburrow. And we are talking all things hurricanes and storms because we are, we have entered the hurricane season. June 1 is when it started. And one of the questions I have for Mr. Neely today is how do they name storms? Because you know, you always see these names Andrew, you got Irma, you got Joaquin, you got Dorian, all these different names. And I wonder what's the process that goes into that. And I always wonder how come they don't have any black names like Hurricane Laquisha and you know, and stuff like that. Shaquanian names like that. Why, why these names? They always sound Spanish or British or Dutch or whatever, but you know. Yeah, let us know what's up with that. [01:20:40] Speaker E: Well, name naming, it went through a list of changes, but it's selected by member country of the world organization in North Atlantic region and names are selected from French. They select French, Dutch, English, Spanish names, okay? Because all those countries make up the Caribbean and the North Atlantic. You have Central America, you have the Caribbean, you have Guadalupe, Martinique and all those places like that. And at the, at the end of every, every year, once if there's a hurricane that devastated the names are alternated between male and female. Every, every male and female alternately, okay? And once a name is selected, that name is recycled unless it does significant damage, if it does any damage or deaths. Name the member country of the impacted country impacted by this hurricane can request that retired name for reasons of sensitivity and for insurance purposes, what have you. [01:21:35] Speaker C: Okay. [01:21:36] Speaker E: And if the name is selected, then another name the following spring semester, following spring and different name is chosen and that name is retired. [01:21:45] Speaker A: Okay. [01:21:46] Speaker E: So you'll never hear Hurricane Andrew again on Unity at Dorian again. [01:21:49] Speaker A: Okay. [01:21:50] Speaker E: It would be replaced by another name. [01:21:52] Speaker C: Wow, I didn't know that. Okay. Yeah, that's some good info right there. I had another question for you too that I wanted to ask about [01:22:03] Speaker D: the. [01:22:05] Speaker C: You talked about the water table. We already talked about that. Oh no, I think I asked all the questions so far. I wanted to get out there. Yeah, I wanted to get out. [01:22:13] Speaker A: So here's what we're looking at folks. We've entered into the season and preparation is going to be necessary. The one thing that I am a stickler for is preparation. I'll tell you why I recognize that in our country we so easily blame the government for things going wrong. Now we already know that if a disaster hits, the government is not going to be able to cover everybody. So let's start with that. They cannot possibly take care of how many people you figure right now in your Providence way, population wise? Well over 200,000. [01:22:50] Speaker E: Yes. [01:22:50] Speaker A: Going into the 300,000 somewhere around there. Okay, good. You know that if disaster hits, I just being straight up honest, you know, God knows if hurricane coming, they ain't checking for you. [01:23:01] Speaker E: No. [01:23:02] Speaker A: Everybody looking up for themselves. Everybody got to try find security. And that's the bottom line, right? [01:23:07] Speaker E: Yes. [01:23:08] Speaker A: Most of the politicians are being real, got generator. They got generac. [01:23:12] Speaker E: Yes. [01:23:13] Speaker A: Or some other fancy generic caterpillar. Someone got them big ton caterpillar with the power five and six houses. Okay. Let's just be real. Yes, they will have power in their house. They got hurricane impact windows. [01:23:25] Speaker E: Yes. [01:23:25] Speaker A: They need no shutters. [01:23:27] Speaker E: Yes. [01:23:27] Speaker A: Okay. Their roof got. They don't have no shingle like you. You know shingle was chain gifts in. They say they got them ceramic tile on the roof. Like what? You got treasure cove them 100 year tile on the roof. [01:23:38] Speaker E: Yes. [01:23:39] Speaker A: Okay. They got wall in their yard, 8 foot high, wind blowing, got to go over the roof. They straight. That's what I'm trying to say to you. [01:23:46] Speaker C: They want to hill too. [01:23:47] Speaker A: So stop focusing. Let's not focus on the politicians. Focus on Rev Rav straight. Rev got the same thing. Rev straight. [01:23:54] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:23:55] Speaker A: Okay. The only people who he's straight is you. The hard working maiming people. [01:23:59] Speaker E: Yes. [01:23:59] Speaker A: And you're looking for a little relief now and then. So you have Little habits. Some of you all smoke a little bit of weed. Some of you all smoke a little bit of rum. So I mean drink a little bit of rum. Some of y' all got some other bad habits. Now is the time to try to limit your bad habits and invest in preparation. [01:24:16] Speaker E: Preparation. [01:24:17] Speaker A: If you used to drink tree bears with bears covering trees. Some of us we greedy. We get six, we get nine. Cut back, try your one bear and drink plenty of water. I just being real, take some of that money set aside like Neil said. I mean Wayne said, buy some tuna, buy some sardine, buy some bags. Right. Put your storehouse in order. That's all. I'm simply saying to you. [01:24:37] Speaker E: And even too people don't think about hurricane insurance. And that's. [01:24:43] Speaker A: I wanted to get to that too. Yeah, you need hurricane insurance. [01:24:45] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:24:45] Speaker A: To protect your assets. [01:24:46] Speaker E: The government is not gonna. People think that once, once destructions get be. Government is going to depend. You're going to depend on most cases. First of all, government will have damages as well. Things like hospitals and schools or clinics will be damaged just as well as your home. And they're going to fix those places first before they fix your home. And in most cases sometimes even fix the le home or the, the. The. The elderly person home and not yours. [01:25:10] Speaker A: That's correct. [01:25:11] Speaker D: Right. [01:25:11] Speaker E: Yeah. So if you get hurricane insurance that covers that, it doesn't hurt. Insurance expensive, but it doesn't. It takes the problem of you and put it on the insurance company. So in other words, if you have a. At least you have some way of getting your lives back to some degree of normalcy after the can strike. And like I said, prepare for your house. You need. Your roof is leaking now fix it now. You need those supplies. Get your hurricane supplies now. Your medicine, what have you. Make sure you get enough supply that during the hurricane. Before the hurricane. [01:25:42] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes. And you know, like, like, like, like people like myself. When COVID 19 hit, we was locked down for six months, if you remember. Now when it comes to a major hurricane, If a category 5 is to hit New Providence, I think we can be out for about at least two, three, four, five months. [01:26:01] Speaker E: Yes. [01:26:01] Speaker A: Easy. [01:26:02] Speaker E: Yes. [01:26:03] Speaker A: Some people can lose the jobs because some companies got to close down. Some people got to cut back. So in terms of even our spending things like your mortgage, you got to try put aside with extra payment or two. Just in case. I just say it. [01:26:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:26:17] Speaker A: Because the bank is your friend when it's time to get the money. But God help you when you order. Jesus Christ, they won't kill you. I just being honest and rightly so. That's their money. They got to look out for their own interest, too. So I think the whole idea of hurricanes is that there are a number of people, Mr. Bees, who makes a lot of money during hurricanes. Hardware stores makes money. The marinas make money. The insurance companies make money. The banks make money because people got to go borrow money to do repairs sometimes the food stores. Everybody's making money. [01:26:46] Speaker E: Yes. [01:26:46] Speaker A: But you need to put yourself in a position too, where you can make some money. [01:26:49] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:26:50] Speaker A: That's also a part of the preparation. So I always say to people, if you can afford it in region, because the worst that could happen with hurricane supplies is you sell it after the hurricane. That's what he's simply saying hurricane season ends when again, 30th of November of November. No hurricane has ever gone past that. [01:27:05] Speaker E: Yeah. They have December and January. [01:27:07] Speaker A: Who was in December? [01:27:08] Speaker E: If you could remember, December was Alpha Alpha 2000, Alpha 2005 Alpha Beta and. And there was hurricane Alex as well. [01:27:23] Speaker A: So how did it just determine hurricane season being when it more than likely would happen? [01:27:28] Speaker E: With a car. Yeah. [01:27:29] Speaker A: But it doesn't mean it cannot happen. Otherwise. [01:27:30] Speaker E: It doesn't mean it's happened. The hurricane has been every. There's a hurricane every month with the exception of, I think it was February. [01:27:38] Speaker A: You serious? [01:27:38] Speaker C: So February is the only month that there's not a recorded hurricane. [01:27:40] Speaker E: Record hurricane, yes. [01:27:41] Speaker D: Wow. [01:27:42] Speaker C: That's the shortest one too. [01:27:43] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:27:44] Speaker C: So God know what he's doing. [01:27:46] Speaker A: But that's scary. [01:27:49] Speaker E: Most of the hurricane season from June to November, and in fact, several years ago, they thought about extending instead of 1st of June, they want to extend it from 15th of May until the end of November. But because they were having that for the last 15 years, you had, I think, six or seven years that you had hurricanes forming in May. So the US government wanted to extend it until the 15th of the 15th from the 15th of May. But they didn't get much. They got some flock for that from other countries in the Caribbean as well. [01:28:23] Speaker A: So what are the safest islands in the Bahamas? [01:28:25] Speaker E: You would say New Providence, New Province [01:28:28] Speaker A: is still the safest. [01:28:29] Speaker E: Yeah. The. The most active area for hurricanes impacting the region would be Abaco. Charlotte, North Carolina is number one. [01:28:38] Speaker A: Charlotte, North Carolina. [01:28:39] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:28:39] Speaker C: Is the number one spot. [01:28:40] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:28:40] Speaker C: Wow. [01:28:41] Speaker E: Florida. Florida is number two. [01:28:43] Speaker A: Hold on, hold on, hold on. You touched me just now. You say Charlotte. [01:28:46] Speaker E: Yes. [01:28:47] Speaker A: You know my people, right? From Winston Salem, right next door. [01:28:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:28:50] Speaker E: Okay. Yeah. What the hell? [01:28:52] Speaker C: Charlotte is number one business wise too. [01:28:55] Speaker E: Then you have Grandmama's number three. Abaco is number four. Anders is number six. Elutra is number 11. [01:29:01] Speaker A: Elutra is number 11. [01:29:02] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:29:04] Speaker A: I thought, Andrew, you're talking about in [01:29:06] Speaker C: the region or you're just talking about in the region, But I thought. [01:29:09] Speaker A: I thought Andrews was safe for the Luther because Illusra all always getting hit. [01:29:12] Speaker E: No, no. Anders, Anderson, Lucha Day all impacted a lot as well. Andrew's numbers 6 and Lucha number 11. New Providence is number 54. So it's really hit. Yeah. [01:29:26] Speaker C: Is that part of the reason why this island was chosen to be the capital island because of the hurricane? Probability? [01:29:31] Speaker E: It's sheltered. It's a sheltered port. [01:29:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Is that the part of the reason? [01:29:34] Speaker E: Yeah, one of the reasons. [01:29:36] Speaker C: Who decided that? The British. [01:29:37] Speaker E: Yeah, the British. Yeah. [01:29:40] Speaker A: We'll be learning a lot and see, [01:29:41] Speaker C: that's why a lot of people who live on other islands, they don't like Nassau, but they don't. And they, you know, remember, there's a time when especially Grand Bahamians used to be saying Nassau shouldn't be the capital, it should be Grand Bahama. Imagine if the government had chosen Grand Bahama or even Abaco. [01:29:54] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:29:54] Speaker C: As like the main island to be the capital. [01:29:56] Speaker A: Isn't that amazing? [01:29:57] Speaker C: We would have had a long time [01:30:04] Speaker A: once the capital. [01:30:04] Speaker E: Yeah. They would consider. They want to consider Lucha as a capital. [01:30:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow, man. I think. I think we're fortunate, man. Well, here, folks, you got the last 15 minutes on the show. The numbers are 323-623-2325-431632-54259.

Fresh news Smart talk all day day. Listen man, it's been a great show, very informative. I thank you for tuning in today. It is not a normal thing for us. But you know, Vane Neely is my very good friend and I'm always, always excited to listen to him as we talk about weather. And it's not that we don't have other things that we could have talked about. The newspaper is full. Make sure to get your copy of the National Guardian. There's a whole lot to talk about there. And you know, we're seeing the gas prices could even possibly increase. It always seems as something is happening in our country that's going to affect your pocket. But the one thing I wanted to make sure to protect today is lives and if anything were to come this way in terms of devastation. Because even though you might be safe, as we Neely said, we're number 54 thereabout in rank, you may actually be traveling to one of the family islands that may be in higher rank like Abaco, Grand Bahama, Andros or Iluthra. And you would need this information to protect yourself. The one thing that I am cautious about too, Wayne Ely, is the use of generators. You know, people want to use generators during hurricanes and they don't even understand that it's more dangerous to have the generator in your house than the hurricane itself. And so we're gonna have to have you come back again to talk about more of hurricane preparedness, things that we can do, things that we can put in place with signs to look out for. And once again we could look at the topography if you may just touch us once again to tell us where you would prefer to be here in Nassau, tell us where we can find your books, where we can read up information about these hurricanes. I think main people deserve to know. [01:34:25] Speaker E: Yeah, well the safest place would be not too high area but a Medium sized area like let's say Garden Hills. Garden Hills Number 2, Stapleton, Fox Hill. Certain parts of Fox Hill, I should say, well, land is much higher and [01:34:46] Speaker A: not point of even a category one, [01:34:48] Speaker E: as Scott said, away from the coastal areas. [01:34:51] Speaker A: Yeah. What could be extremely dangerous. And you live in Pinewood. I'm picking on Pinewood because everybody knows Pinewood to be that type of a place. I think Adelaide is also low lying and some of the other coastal places like Delaport, et cetera, but they're on the northern side of the island as opposed to the southern. And so when you look at South Beach, Marshall Road area, that's a bowl in and of itself too. In situations like that evacuation, the people need to know that that would probably be the worst place to probably remain. [01:35:22] Speaker E: Yes. [01:35:22] Speaker A: And now would be a good time to mend relationships with family, friends, a particular church that may be a shelter so that you have an escape plan. That's what I'm talking about. [01:35:33] Speaker E: And if you, if you're in a low lying area that's prone to flooding, that should be a. No, no, because that if you flood, if you get, let's say 2ft of water, feet of water or 6 inches of water during a typical afternoon thunderstorm, you turn times up by a factor of about four. And that varies as well. But by a factor of four you tend to get fairly idea of what you're going to get during a hurricane, a typical hurricane fall. [01:36:00] Speaker A: Now guess what? [01:36:01] Speaker E: So if you're in a flood prone area, move that area. Because during the flooding during a hurricane would be exacerbated by the storm surge. [01:36:10] Speaker A: You know, when I was in school, I graduated with my second master's degree from DeVry University, Kellogg graduate School of Management. And it was my birthday, my birthday was coming, it was July and it was 2003. And I said, you know what? I want to treat myself. And so I'm going to get a car. [01:36:31] Speaker E: Yes. [01:36:31] Speaker A: And when I got to the parking lot, got to the parking lot, looked around and the guy probably could see this a sucker, you know, he come to. But you can see he come to my car, you know. So I said, man, I want me a nice Honda Accord. [01:36:44] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:36:45] Speaker A: So I saw a white Honda Accord, man. I said, boy, look at that. He had had the roof and everything. And I see myself in this guy. I didn't sell myself. I even carry this car on the. First of all. You want my tracking device on that? I said, yeah, man, give me all the bells and whistles, you know, I want, I Want to show off. And do you know how often I drove, drove through Atlanta biting my teeth? People thought I was probably smiling, showing off, but I was showing my teeth because I had no gas in the car, you know, and eventually I made a loan to a friend and she failed to pay me in time. And the same tracking device had in cars, the tracker they used to repossess the car. You know, but I'm saying all that to say that right now, you baming people, you're getting caught up in these electric vehicles. And I see you, Ryan, you're smiling, you know, oh, you're looking good in there, you know, you got this new electric car. I don't think Mr. Beast fares well in floods, does it? [01:37:37] Speaker C: Electric cars. [01:37:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I see. [01:37:39] Speaker C: I don't know. I can't honestly say how that works. [01:37:41] Speaker A: Well, someone needs to let us know how the electric car thing works. Because if you have an electric car and hurricane weather comes, whether it's category one or five, I think you're gonna need a driveway that's gonna be elevated so that you won't have any flood damage that even happens, even for normal cars. Yeah, I'm just talking about preparation, things that people need to think about because you cannot afford to go back to the bank for another loan to get another car. So you people in your little cubes and the little notes and those other little cars, you gotta be wary. Cause during a hurricane, those things won't fare well. Flooded streets, my friend. After the hurricane, we tend to want to go outside the house and look around. [01:38:17] Speaker E: Yes. [01:38:18] Speaker A: Boy, we crazy bad, eh? [01:38:19] Speaker E: Not safety. [01:38:20] Speaker A: How dangerous is that? [01:38:21] Speaker E: That's very dangerous. Because you have darn electrical wires. You. You have trees across streets that could be. Could cause death or serious injury through [01:38:30] Speaker A: those water that you can't see, can't see, cause infections. My God. [01:38:34] Speaker E: And a live line when we are there. And you, you, you driving through it, not knowing that this is a live line. [01:38:40] Speaker A: And, you know, so listen, folks, man, hurricanes are dangerous. They can be advantageous, but at the same time, there's a whole lot of disadvantages. Have to be careful. You have to be prepared. Rainy day, give us those books again. Let us know where we can find them. How people can call you in to speak with you. They want you to present at their schools, their churches. I don't know where we got away with that from. I mean, this is how the Bahamas was built. We used to invite people to come in and speak and teach us and educate us. It doesn't happen that much anymore. [01:39:07] Speaker E: Yeah, for Hurricane preparation. You want me to come in? I do that as well. Call me at 445-3069. That's 445-3069 night. And. And my books are available at Logos Bookstore in the Har Shopping center. My latest book, the Great Bahamian hurricanes of 1933. That's the year we had five hurricanes in one year. You also have the 1929 hurricane which is another book. You have the great the Great Bahamian hurricane of 1866 where you had 387Bahamians died in that one. You have the Great Bahamian hurricanes of 1926 where you had in one storm you had 256 persons dying in that storm. [01:39:46] Speaker A: What, which year? [01:39:47] Speaker E: That was 1926. And wow. And Great Okeechobee Hurricane, which you had about 1400 Bahamians die in that storm. Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928. You also had the Great Abaco Hurricane of 1932 and the Great Bahamian Hurricane of 1899. All of those are books that I wrote about and the impact that they had on the Bahamas. So if you're interested in books available at Logos or you can buy them Online@Amazon Amazon.com or any of the bookstore online bookstores, but locally in the Harbay Shopping Center Logos and Hard based Shopping center, they're available.

Don't mind me sitting here when I read about an incident with someone who was on dialysis and there was some confusion with the law in the marathon area. And I'm Gonna dedicate one of these shows to people who are on dialysis. You know, my loved one is also on dialysis. Been on dialysis from 2017 or 18. And they spend a lot of money on medical care. [01:41:43] Speaker C: Yes. [01:41:44] Speaker A: And it goes from $2 million in insurance down, and it dwindles down until they tell you you don't have enough funds left in your insurance to have surgery any longer. People just don't understand that there are a number of payment people, challenges who are challenged. You know, things like hurricanes, they affect these same people. Got to go through the hurricane, too. [01:42:03] Speaker E: Yes. [01:42:03] Speaker A: You see what I'm saying? It exacerbates. You know, it doesn't get any easier. And so for those people, I just want to give a special shout out before we leave today to those people who are on dialysis. I want you to continue to eat properly, take care of yourself, keep your faith in God. I know it's not easy, but I do believe that, you know, God is going to bring you through. That is my prayer for you today. Those people going through cancer and other ailments today, I want to give a shout out to you. I want to encourage you to keep your head up high. Those people are going through challenges in terms of considering suicide. I saw that happen as well. All these things are bothering me, by the way, as I sit here. [01:42:40] Speaker E: Yes. [01:42:41] Speaker A: But I want them to also know that as even I sit here becomes unsurmountable sometimes. But you got to hang on in there because hope and help is always on the way. There's always a solution to a problem. You just need to just step back sometimes, allow the wave to cover you and let God bring you through. I mean, that's just what I believe. That's just my belief. I've been in a place one time in Atlanta, being nearly where I saw myself descending into a dark hole. It was just an abyss. I. I don't know how that depression came upon me. I don't know where it came from. It's not normal for me. And I think it might even have been a spiritual attack. But a voice said to me, God, sometimes you just got to hold onto the walls and then start to climb your way back up. And so today, my encouragement to you all here at God in Radio 96.9 FM, that no matter what you're going through, I believe today that the winds are going to blow, the lightning is going to flash, the thunder is going to roll. But at the end of the day here in the Bahamas, it's always better because the sun will Always come out to bless the Bahamas. Have a great day, folks. We need to tell the folks Goodbye, Mr. [01:43:47] Speaker D: Beast. [01:43:47] Speaker A: Tell them goodbye. All right. [01:43:49] Speaker C: Good evening. [01:43:49] Speaker E: Good evening, everybody. [01:43:50] Speaker C: Good evening. [01:43:51] Speaker E: Have a safe and enjoyable holiday. [01:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah. When are you going to be back on beat? [01:43:55] Speaker C: Sunday. I'll be back on Sunday. Sunday. Y' all check me out on remarks. And this Sunday coming from 5 to [01:44:00] Speaker A: 6:30pm well, listen, man, you all enjoy your Labor Day. Some of you are marching from one school to your headquarters. Some are marching to their headquarters. Everybody marching their own way. But at the end of the day, we say march on Bahama land. Until next time.

Go play hopscotch. God, Bl saying so long. Until next time. [01:44:46] Speaker E: Nothing from nothing. Leave nothing. And I'm not stopping, believe you me.
