The owners at Northeast Florida Contracting (NEFCON) provided Action News Jax their business surveillance video (see below) that captured the footage at about 2 AM Thursday morning, just as winds and rain from the storm swept across the area.

The owners said this happened right as they prepared to help people with storm damage. Operations partner at NEFCON Chris Carlson said they expected to spend Thursday morning helping families but instead were busy filing police reports with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

“The trailers are usually on business sites, but we brought them here for preparation and loaded them up with equipment like chainsaws, wenches, ladders and anything you would need to secure a house or office that could be affected during the storm,” said Carlson.
