No, I heard it on my XM radio (it was the Fox News feed). It was a woman who said she had never been off the island. She did not sound elderly, maybe 20 to 50 age... hard to tell on the radio. She was rambling about her feet "having concrete in them" and therefore she was unable to cross the bridge, even though she "wanted" to. Sadly, her apparent unwillingness to break her streak of never leaving the island may come to an end this weekend.
Some people might die trying to prove a point or keep "a streak" intact.
