    Kevin that the hurricane goes counterclockwize is because the atlantic ocean is east from Florida,and it comes from the south. It is building up speed and WATER as long as it is above the ocean. Then it goes landinwards and start unloading his water. As that eye not is moving,it will recharge the clouds again with the moist that forms above the warmer water. And in the center of the eye,there is a very low airpressure,that makes it easier to lift up the moist from above the ocean and charge up the clouds again. I hope you understand what i am trying to axplain. It is very basic when you know the working of a hurrica/tropical storm. Take care for yourself and be and stay safe. Gr from Spain

    I can say you pretty much covered everything. I lived in south west Florida for 11 years and we delt with Irma. It took out many trees of live oak and slash pines. And my neighbor helped so much by throwing his branches over the fence and only know that is because the branches had been cut by a chainsaw. That was OK because with my tractor and the set of forks I could haul them to the road. The guy I bought my tractor from also had a landscape business and he sent 2 guys over to help with the big stuff. We were the only ones without power for a week. We left and when we got to Ocala my wife's jeep had about run out of gas. So we had to leave it until we made our way back

    Got a question for ya'll. I would like an honest answer. I can take a punch ! haha. Love your vids by the way. I have recently retired from the medical field. When I was a lot younger I used to drive, but I was married and she wanted me around the house more often. So I left and went to school for the medical field. After a wonderful 27 year career I finally retired from hospital and since she is no longer around I would like to get back to trucking. OTR not local. Now here is the million $ question. I am 67 years old and quite healthy, have my DOT physical. Will a company hire someone my age? I know you might say it is discriminating but come on. they will find some reason not to hire. Another thing is I don't want to spend all that money for a school and not being able to get hired on. Be safe out there
