Billericay Town boss Glenn Tamplin is currently unable to fly home as a tropical cyclone has grounded all flights out of Mauritius.
Cyclone Berguitta hit the small African island on Tuesday, forcing both the port and airport to be closed until the storm passes.
A video from Mr Tamplin shows the storm as it blows away the tropical island beach.
Have been on lockdown here on Mauritius waiting for the cyclone to hit... have to go inside now...

Mr Tamplin, who was on holiday with his family has been left stranded while the storm is building towards dangerous levels.
The cyclone has been rated as category three.
When the storm hit, Mr Tamplin took to Twitter, praying for his family to be unaffected by it.
