ActionKidenglishenpublicupdatedRead in about 2 minutes instead of watching 56 minutes.
Storm Conditions Begin
- The streamer is aboard the Staten Island Ferry at 11:29 a.m., with the temperature around 77°F, waiting for Tropical Storm Isaias to arrive.
- He steps outside and immediately encounters strong wind, rough water, and worsening storm conditions near the Statue of Liberty.
- He notes the storm already feels strong, though the expected peak is later, around 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Rough Ferry Ride
- The water becomes increasingly rough, and he worries that ferry service back to Manhattan may become difficult or impossible if conditions worsen.
- Wind and rain soak him completely, making the stabilizer useless and forcing him to hold the phone manually.
- He describes this as his first Staten Island Ferry ride during a tropical storm and compares one exposed side of the ferry to a free shower.
Docking At Staten Island
- As the ferry approaches Staten Island, the captain has to dock carefully in strong wind while the boat shifts noticeably.
- The streamer praises the captain after the ferry docks safely despite the difficult conditions.
- He transfers quickly to another ferry heading back to Manhattan and decides to stay inside near open windows instead of going back outside.
Return Ferry And Suspension
- An announcement says Staten Island Ferry service will be suspended from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., likely because the storm peak is expected during that period.
- He says he got lucky because this may be one of the last ferries returning to Manhattan before the suspension.
- Inside the ferry, rain blows through the windows, doors slam from the wind, and visibility toward the Statue of Liberty is poor.
Back To Manhattan
- The ferry nears Lower Manhattan, and he watches the crew handle the difficult docking conditions in the wind.
- He arrives safely back in Manhattan and says the livestream was only a teaser before he films more storm footage for another channel.
- He ends the livestream after preparing to continue walking and filming in the storm.
