1 00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:05,124 It was pretty bad . The eye of the 2 00:00:05,124 --> 00:00:07,236 storm went right over it . You know , 3 00:00:07,236 --> 00:00:08,958 all the trees were down debris 4 00:00:08,958 --> 00:00:11,013 everywhere . When you got up to 9700 5 00:00:11,013 --> 00:00:13,180 contents of the buildings were as much 6 00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:15,402 as a half a mile north where it all got 7 00:00:15,402 --> 00:00:15,390 swept out into the trees . We're 8 00:00:15,399 --> 00:00:17,621 talking like full shipping containers , 9 00:00:17,621 --> 00:00:19,621 40 ft long shipping containers with 10 00:00:19,621 --> 00:00:21,732 hundreds of pieces of equipment worth 11 00:00:21,732 --> 00:00:23,566 millions and millions of dollars 12 00:00:23,566 --> 00:00:25,677 vehicles flooded . I mean , it's just 13 00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,788 crazy roofs ripped off buildings . We 14 00:00:27,788 --> 00:00:29,788 learned from Hurricane Michael that 15 00:00:29,788 --> 00:00:31,955 category five storms are a real threat 16 00:00:31,955 --> 00:00:31,590 here in Northwest Florida . Something 17 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,656 that this area had not been prepared 18 00:00:33,656 --> 00:00:35,656 for in the past . So we're building 19 00:00:35,656 --> 00:00:37,878 this installation to withstand category 20 00:00:37,878 --> 00:00:39,989 five hurricanes , both wind speed and 21 00:00:39,989 --> 00:00:42,044 storm surge . We're constructing the 22 00:00:42,044 --> 00:00:41,979 facilities here such that they 23 00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:44,046 shouldn't be vulnerable to storms or 24 00:00:44,046 --> 00:00:46,268 sea level rise for the next 100 years . 25 00:00:46,268 --> 00:00:48,490 Over the past five years , we went from 26 00:00:48,490 --> 00:00:51,169 literally a disaster scene of destroyed 27 00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:54,669 buildings and rubble everywhere to now , 28 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,409 the installation of the future 29 00:00:56,569 --> 00:00:58,889 literally rising out of the ground as 30 00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,880 we speak . We now are entering and it 31 00:01:01,889 --> 00:01:03,889 really have entered since this past 32 00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:05,790 June peak reconstruction . We're 33 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,309 projecting between 3500 to 4000 34 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,190 construction , craft personnel , 35 00:01:11,199 --> 00:01:13,809 plumbers , carpenters , pipe fitters , 36 00:01:14,089 --> 00:01:16,389 every trade you can imagine needed to 37 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440 construct 120 brand new buildings on 38 00:01:19,449 --> 00:01:21,671 the air force installation entering the 39 00:01:21,671 --> 00:01:24,860 gate every day . And then in 26 we'll 40 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,190 start seeing what I call mass delivery 41 00:01:27,199 --> 00:01:29,529 of facilities where we're turning over 42 00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:32,050 new hangars , new flight simulators in 43 00:01:32,059 --> 00:01:34,980 the next 2.5 years . it was difficult 44 00:01:34,989 --> 00:01:37,269 to envision back in 2018 , how this 45 00:01:37,279 --> 00:01:39,390 community and how this base was going 46 00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:41,557 to recover . So it's been uh it's been 47 00:01:41,557 --> 00:01:41,430 impressive to see how much progress 48 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,718 we've made over the last several years . 49 00:01:43,718 --> 00:01:45,940 But again , still a lot of work left to 50 00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:44,010 do .
