Chase Account:
When Hurricane
Tomas came along I had already written off the 2010 the Hurricane Season. I was in South America filming storms and looking for
my first South American tornado and decided I could not
miss the last Hurricane of the season. I found the first
flight back to Miami and from there decided to go to the Turks
and Caicos. All the media coverage was in Haiti and I felt
being in the small islands of the Turks and Caicos would be
better and it was an excuse to go to a place I had heard a
lot about. I was in the middle
of a really bad flu and my immune system was low and with
the Cholera epidemic going on in Haiti I decided it was too
risky. I was not interested in filming flash floods but was looking to get into the best wind Tomas had to
offer. The flight over to the Turks and Caicos was magical.
The waters were turquoise and we flew over all the Bahamian
islands on the way and I took many great photos. I arrived
to very friendly people and dream-like beaches. Tomas was
forecast to be a Cat-2 and the eastern eyewall was supposed
to brush the island which would have put me in a situation
to get some great shots. The final outcome was a Cat-1
Hurricane the jogged hard to the east which put us in the
western eyewall and only gave us winds of around 45mph.
Plus, Hurricane Tomas hit at night just as all the other
hurricanes did for me in the 2010 season. Tomas was my 25
Hurricane landfall and probably provided the least amount of
Hurricane video of them all. I hardly shot at all at night
since there was really nothing to film other than some rain.
Instead I made friends with a great group of people at
"Jimmy's Dive Bar" who were having a Hurricane Party. I
exchanged stories with the locals and at daybreak went out
to get shots. The only thing to shoot was some minor street
flooding and some small tree limbs knocked down. This was
fine with me, I didn't want to see such a beautiful island
get trashed. I spent the next 3 days taking "Postcard"
photos of the island to send to my photo agents and soaking
up some sun...I have been to many of the islands in the
Caribbean and all are beautiful but Turks and Caicos are
Magical ! Its a place that should be on everyone's "Bucket
List"... |
