Read in about 2 minutes instead of watching 56 minutes.

Storm Conditions Begin

  1. 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.
  2. He steps outside and immediately encounters strong wind, rough water, and worsening storm conditions near the Statue of Liberty.
  3. 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

  1. The water becomes increasingly rough, and he worries that ferry service back to Manhattan may become difficult or impossible if conditions worsen.
  2. Wind and rain soak him completely, making the stabilizer useless and forcing him to hold the phone manually.
  3. 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

  1. As the ferry approaches Staten Island, the captain has to dock carefully in strong wind while the boat shifts noticeably.
  2. The streamer praises the captain after the ferry docks safely despite the difficult conditions.
  3. 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

  1. 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.
  2. He says he got lucky because this may be one of the last ferries returning to Manhattan before the suspension.
  3. 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

  1. The ferry nears Lower Manhattan, and he watches the crew handle the difficult docking conditions in the wind.
  2. He arrives safely back in Manhattan and says the livestream was only a teaser before he films more storm footage for another channel.
  3. He ends the livestream after preparing to continue walking and filming in the storm.
