Ellie replies: “I just hope that you guys don’t get hit that hard.”

She then expresses her concern for Victor’s safety in a confessional. “That’s really scary because Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a category three and it did a ton of damage,” she says.

“Providencia, it’s just a tiny rock in the middle of the Caribbean and there’s, like, literally, no place to go,” she continues. “Most of the structures are just very basic and made out of wood. Like, there’s just literally no place to go, no place to hide. I can’t imagine what it’s like for Victor being on the island right now. I would totally be freaking out.”
