“The hurricane – that was a trip last night for me. I had a dock that broke [and] floated away. I had these jet skis on it. I saw those things sitting out in the middle of the bay and I was going, 'Wow, that's pretty surreal.' I was kind of laughing like, 'Well, you'll get the jet skis back. A lot of people are dealing with a lot worse than that,’” he said.

“Just waking up and seeing what kind of happened to the yard – it got pretty messed up. I'd be really nervous if a big one hit. It happened pretty quick. I thought you had time to prepare for these things, but apparently you don't. They're just kind of on you and then you've got to deal with it. We pushed the schedule back today. Fortunately, everyone made it in safe and sound.
