Wayne Grover Clip - Hurricane David

Wayne Grover Clip - Hurricane David

The September 1979 hurricane, let's talk about that a little bit. Yeah. Ted Owens at that time had been upset by the Enquirer editor with whom I was working on that particular story. And the guy literally laughed in his face and just derided him over the telephone. And he was very upset. And we talked after we got off the editor. And he said, 'Look, I'm going to fix this editor. I'm going to bring a hurricane over the National Enquirer. I'm going to destroy him and you and the Enquirer and everybody else.' I said, well, don't, you know, I was just plain with him, don't do that, because, you know, we're right on the coastline, the stout, the helpless people, don't do such a thing.

And within about a few days, we did, in fact, get Hurricane David coming across the Cape Verde Hurricane, which is one of the powerful, at one point hit Category 5 out there in the open Atlantic Ocean, and was coming straight for South Florida. And I called Ted and asked him not to do this. Ted turned the thing. And he said, I'll call you back. And he called back and told me he had been in contact with his FIs, his space intelligences or whatever he referred to them as. And that he had asked that this thing turned away not to hurt us. He said, I've never done this before, but I'm going to do it for you, Wayne, because I like you. And I didn't laugh at him. And we're sitting there under hurricane warnings. All of South Florida is boarding up and getting ready for this tremendous hit. And sure enough, this thing trucked across the Atlantic, got off our coast about 80 miles. and turned and went straight up north, northeast, north, northwest, and went into Savannah, Georgia, and Redald, Georgia, and South Carolina. And he called back that morning, the next morning, about 7, 8 o'clock, and said, Wayne, that was for you. So, coincidence? Who knows?
