00:51 I turned on the lights outside and saw pretty quickly that trees were starting to come down,
00:57 which you can see in the back, and that told me, okay, this is not only fast moving, but
01:03 there's some speed to this wind.
01:06 And you have to balance the interest of, do I find some safety or do I help keep the house
01:10 where there's not damage in the future, and was having to balance that out."
