Fisherman watched helplessly as wife drowned in hurricane

Hurricane Dorian ravaged Freeport, the main city on Grand Bahama, fisherman Howard Armstrong had to watch helplessly as his wife died in the rising flood that claimed their home.
The water rose quickly, he told CNN, and soon it was up to their necks.
"We were doing all right until the water kept coming up, and all the appliances were going around the house, like the washer machine," said Armstrong, who is a crab fisherman.
His wife, Lynn, was standing on the kitchen cabinets, the only place where "your head would touch the roof," he said. Only their heads were above the water.

    1. Five days ago Your cell phone the news channel the weather channel put an X on the ground and said if you stand on this X you will fucking die!

      Stupid people killed by a hurricane

      CNN puts stupid people on camera for Clickbait
      šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

    2. @atlsarmond Because he’s being PAID to LIE, you DUMB MORON… The BAHAMAS is a foreign country full of BLACKS who speak in a JAMAICAN Style accent… (Carribbean Accent) and this guy speaks like a HOLLYWOOD HOMOSEXUAL… and he’s WHITE! so clearly he’s not from the BAHAMAS… he’s been flown in to READ the SCRIPT!

    1. @ame7272 ten to one it was the camera guy again. Like on election night. Lol go to the Supreme Court Hillary fight this. Lol

    2. Do you know that Chick-fill-a STILL EXISTS?
      Do you know that said Right-wing, Trump supporter restaurant is the largest and most popular in this country?

    1. @Brian Barton I really don’t, because I already know the truth.
      Let me ask you just one thing Brian, are you physically and emotionally capable of admitting that Trump has lied to the people of this nation >12000 times since 20 January 2017?

      Okay, scratch that, can you even admit that he lied one time?
      Can you, Brian?
      Because if you look at the DSM-5, once you’ve become this deluded, it’s physically impossible to admit that you could be wrong.

    2. @Suspicious Samuel howdid this turn into Trump lying? You crazy fucking leftist. You’re as crazy as the bastard that said it wasn’t real. If not crazier. TDS is real

  1. So sad to see his wife drowning and he couldn’t save her. May God console all those affected by this hurricane.

    1. ā€‹@Olen Paras why is your name “OLEN PARAS?” Why have you Named yourself after a SEXUAL DEVICE that they use to INSERT GERBILS into another man’s RECTUM? Don’t you know there are children reading this? This is a FAMILY Channel. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    2. @Miriam Schiro He doesn’t seem genuine in his story at all. See how long it takes him to cash in on the life insurance some of these people look for the perfect storm to commit murder. Especially people that look like him.

    3. @Eric Johnston but it’s lazy lazy lazy to not say a prayer and have a thought for someone to be the answer to the prayer

  2. Have you guys ever lost someone in a tragic, sudden way? This man is in complete utter shock and probably still running on pure adrenaline from escaping that situation. It hasn’t hit him yet, give the poor man a break. šŸ’œ

    1. When i was a teenager I did that type of work. Its not that hard but you do need to pay attention. It is easy to get hurt.

    2. @YouWillbe Mocked There are women in the occupation, there is one boat that the crew are all women…I believe its in Nova Scotia, Canada eh!

    3. @Nattie Whenever a CLOSET HOMOSEXUAL like you projects GAYNESS onto another person…it means YOU are the GAY…

    4. @Jedidiah Oh wow… so there’s a BOAT full of MUFF DIVERS… wonderful… that does not CHANGE the FACT that the MEN are QUEERS.

  3. I think its similar to the military, not that he doesnt care, but his mind, his energy was spent on surviving. Later after things settle its gonna hit.

    1. Bullshit, he had a BOAT
      The man is a coward, he thought of himself and was probably annoyed she got hyperthermia and was slowing him down
      Its not his reaction I’m judging but his lack of action

    2. @Diaspora A Fortiori What do you even know about him? What a joke of a society that we live in, passing summary judgements onto people without any evidence.

  4. I think he’s definitely in shock. Even, if you’re not too fond of your spouse you’re still going to react to the loss of someone that close to you. It’ll hit him later and I pray for him when it does šŸ™

    1. @William H You people are insanely disrespectful and deluded, do you ever wonder why 60% of the country dislikes/pities you?

    1. @William H Look William, the deep state is a bogeyman and you know it, ever wondered why Trump’s commission into electoral fraud never found a single case of voter fraud? Why Trump never investigated Hillary? The truth of the matter is this, they’re all conspiracies without solid ground to stand on, I’m sorry William, that’s the truth, don’t let yourself get pulled further and further with every conspiracy.

    2. @Suspicious Samuel The investigations are still ongoing dumb dumb. What’s your sexuality…BISEXUAL or HOMOSEXUAL?

  5. God love Mr. Armstrong! What a horror for him to see his beloved drown, to see his friends dead. He may never be okay.

    1. @Casey Corbett you are naive beyond belief. just because you saw it on the “news”….. it is probably a lie.

    1. Yes, nothing he could do apparently as he watched his wife drown….then hopped on his 40 ft boat šŸ˜‚šŸ’¦

    2. Life insurance pays real good . Ill save my boat in 200 mile a hour winds. Tade it in for my dream boat.find me a youger women. Nice.

    3. Maybe you missed the part where he said appliances were spinning around his house like it was a washing machine? You know the point where one hit him in the head? Some catastrophes are every man for himself. And it is just by the grace of God that anyone gets out alive.

  6. You live your whole lives together only to watch the other die knowing you couldnā€™t stop it. I sure hope this man is able to cope with this because a lot would end their lives after something like this.

    1. davids11131113 he didnā€™t save himself…. he lasted longer in the same circumstance…. what was he going to do? Destroy the roof with his bare hands? God are you very simple…

    2. @davids11131113 Your ignorance is showing. That boat was not looking good in a Category 5 hurricane, I can assure you of that. He likely was staying in the house because she was too afraid to leave, and once she did leave in a different way, he knew he had to to survive. Look at the destruction. This man was just in a war, he is in shock.

    1. Primitive Eating I understand your concern yet I believe that by trying to sanitize a difficult situation does not help anyone.

      When I watch foreign news which often covers an event from the raw human perspective in detail Iā€™m left with a meaningful connection. By hearing a persons pain or seeing pictures that display the violence of war or a shooting we get hit hard by that moment and will react to the news in meaningful ways.

      When the news only shows the damage to physical property and a ā€œnumberā€ which represents people affected be it a natural disaster, war or a shooting we are cheapening what our fellow humans are experiencing, thus we never connect and ultimately donā€™t engage enough to care in a meaningful way.

    2. You’re right. But why dont we think they interview the victim directly for more people trying to contribute to help peole like him. It’s Fact, and everyone won’t ever imagine until they seeing it.

  7. My goodness!! How are you doing an interview with this poor man!!! Have some respect and decency!!! Stop the effing questions!
