Transcript
00:00This is Scorch Chaser Aaron Jayjack, and I'm here in Perry, Florida, where we are now starting to get hammered by the eyewall of dangerous, major hurricane Helene ripping through Perry, Florida again.
00:15Just last year, a major hurricane ripped through here, and now here we are again in the very parking lot that we were in chasing Dahlia last year, but Helene is now starting to cause power flickers.
00:25Power outages are imminent. We are only moments away from losing power completely here as the power flash is back behind us.
00:32Power flashes are going as transformers are starting to blow up, and it is about to go downhill here significantly.
00:39The big bend, big power flash, we just lost power now here in Perry. It's back on, it's back on. Monster power flash back out this way here in Perry, Florida right now as Helene is tearing apart the big bend, the nature coast of Florida right now.
00:57Reporting for AccuWeather, this is Scorch Chaser Aaron Jayjack.
