Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelley and Blaze. Now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster says there are still serious
risks from Tropical Storm Debbie in South Carolina. Several inches
of rain are in the forecast today. The storm made
a second landfall in the early morning hours right around midnight,
and is expected to leave the state this afternoon. McMaster
says the coastal flooding, that second landfall and river flooding
(00:29):
after the storm are the three major impacts of Debbie.
No deaths related to Debbie have been reported here in
the Palmetto State. Joe Biden says he's not confident at
all a peaceful transfer of power will take place to
former President Trump loses the election. In an interview Wednesday
that will air in full on CBS News Sunday morning,
(00:52):
President Biden said Trump means all the stuff he says
regarding a blood bath if he loses. Biden added, you
can't love your country only when you win. The Head
of JP Morgan Chase says there still might be a recession.
CEO Jamie Diamond spoke to CNBC yesterday and said he
still believes the odds of a soft landing for the
(01:13):
US economy are around thirty five to forty percent, make
him a recession a likely scenario. Diamond said the US
is not in a recession right now, but he's a
little bit of a skeptic that the Federal Reserve can
bring inflation down to its two percent target. He added, though,
that he remains optimistic that if the United States does
(01:34):
experience a recession, and his words, we would be.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, my god, the gas lighting with Biden in that
side of the camp, it's outrageous. Put a mirror up
in front of your face. Buddy, you are over here
supporting people who with Waltz, the VP pick with Kamala,
who enjoyed the riots. He and his wife were thrilled
that it was happening, told the police to surrender their precincts.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, not only that, let's look at what happened. So
Biden and his whole administration and everybody around him lied
about his mental condition, about his physical condition, and then
it was exposed during the debate. This is after the primaries,
after the Democratic primaries where people voted Biden as their candidate,
(02:24):
and then they you know, pretty much did a coup
and just installed Kamala through democracy. Completely nobody for Kamala,
like not one person voted for Kamala, and so all
of a sudden, you know, she's poised to be the
next president of the United States if you believe the
(02:45):
latest polling and the media lap dogs out there who
are building her team up, and of course continue to
trash Trump, and then they continue to lie. Not only
you know about the aren't president's condition, but think about
what Biden said. So he doesn't believe there will be
(03:07):
a peaceful transfer of power. So he doesn't believe that
there will be a peaceful transfer of power from him
to Kamala if Trump's not elected. So he's just scare mongering.
It doesn't even make sense what he's saying. He's just
trying to scare people and shock them. Oh, there won't
be He's not confident at all at a peaceful transfer
(03:27):
of power. If Trump loses, it would be a transfer
of power from him to Kamala. So it makes absolutely
no sense. And then he continues the blood bath lie
where Trump was talking about a blood bath for the
auto industry when he made those comments, not about for
the United States of electorate or anything else to do
(03:48):
with the election. He said, you know, if he's not elected,
it will be a blood bath for the auto industry.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Demand's been completely two faced, and we've been pointing it
out for the entire almost four years of this regime.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So yeah, only two faced. He's a plain old liar.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well what he is at this point, You would think
anyone paying half a look of attention would not be
surprised by this. But I mean, here we go with
the installation of their candidate with no votes whatsoever from Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
This is Charleston This Morning News on ninety four to
three WSC where the Low Country goes for election coverage.
Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I know, when it comes to the opening game debacle
with the Olympics, some people did choose sides. I chose
to lean in and support our athletes and did a
lot of listening, by the way, on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
It's been really.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Incredible to listen to some of the wins, like one
from a low Country, a College of Charleston, a sailing
team along, very proud of my alma man. The bronze
win for We'll tell you who coming up in your
Carolina Sports Report. Welcome in though Thursday edition of the program,
eighth of August here on ninety four to three WSC.
(05:10):
I feel like through COVID, I need to remind people
with the date in the day, because you know, when
you're in times like this, it feels like you weren't
you driving in this morn and going all right, wait,
what day is this again?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I felt like Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
To me, I'm pretty good about it remembering what day
it is.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
No, I'm not man.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Not in times like this, it's just like, all right,
let me just remember it's Thursday. I mean, maybe it's
because we're dealing with Debbie in a far different way
where we're leaned in, and you know a lot of
people are hunkered in very different where they're just ready
to stop eating hurricane snacks and over. I can't tell
you to people message me saying I'm overeating.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There's too much. I'm going to get out of this house.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh I did do this yesterday. I took a nap. Yeah,
me too, and I woke up and it was light
out and I had that initial panic.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I can't stand that feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I know where it's like, oh my god, because you
think it's the next morning and you're late for work
because it so I had that moment of you.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Know, pantanic and that's something your heart doesn't need, that
muscle doesn't need to be rocked that way.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, Uh, the good news is we really dodged a
bullet here in South Carolina. It is unfortunate to report
that there are half a dozen deaths associated with Debbie
in neighboring Georgia and down in Florida. And we'll hear
more about that coming up with Fox News and of
course more of the team coverage here that we've been following,
uh since Debbie and all of the you know, we
(06:35):
always hear Debbie downer, and I had said it'll be
kind of Debbie drowner because the of the historic flooding
that we'd been warned about, and we hit it. We
hit those historic numbers, especially to the south of us
in Beaufort County. Uh and uh, I know, the half
a dozen tornadoes finally did get confirmed by the National
Weather Service, who have been quite busy, as we have
(06:55):
with a lot of this extended coverage over the last
several days with regard to Debbie.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But I mean, we heard a lot about Monk's Corner.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I know it made national news because of the videos
that we have posted at nine four three WUSC of
the damage there at the businesses. It wasn't just walmartin
Dollar General. Big one that made the rounds was Rby's
with the blown out windows and the flipped over white truck.
But in Edistow we saw I think if you've been
paying attention to the coverage, you saw you know the businesses.
(07:25):
Maconkey's was one of them, and Coots Bar and Grilled.
They had some damage and no to their roof. There
was a home damaged out there, and there's been ongoing
flooding out there on Edistow. But they did confirm that
tornado and e F one Monk's Corner is and Edistow
seemed to get the most coverage. But Ladies Island I
(07:48):
mentioned Beaufort tornado confirmed there. The Isle of Palms, Kiowa
and West Ashley, now those are ones not a whole
lot of folks have been talking about so confirmed touchdowns
there well again to exactly where about Kiowa, Isle of
Palms and West Ashley. So it's all reasons why we
need to take the Morning seriously, and it really looked
(08:09):
like to me, since you and I did have to
be out and about that, a lot of people did
heed the warnings and I'm I'm very happy to see that,
to be honest, and I know it's been frustrating, but
people getting back out to it this morning do need
to be concerned because we've got quite a decent sized
sinkhole that's opened up near Meeting Street at Romney this
morning in downtown Charleston. We will continue to check the
(08:32):
roadways as I think it was about two to four
inches of rain on top of the larrety saturated soil
did move into our forecast once Debbie made that landfall overnight,
and again talk about getting a pass. The fact that
she made a landfall in you know, near the basically
went up into the Francis Maria National Forest, which is
(08:53):
mostly forest, is a good thing. So well, dig more
into Debbi here coming up been We kind of dubbed
her the Karen of storms. I feel like Kamala is
the Karen of this presidential run. And you know, come
November in the White House and I don't know, and
she's just having some of her first rallies and it's
already who packing my patients listening to Kamala rally, I mean,
(09:19):
makes some sense of this. I know we'll talk more
about it here in less than twenty minutes and your
top three things you need to know. But here she
is getting shouted down by protesters at her rally in Michigan.
It just doesn't even make sense. You got the pro
Palestinian protesters at her rally, and the people are pushing back,
(09:40):
and she did as well, like I'm speaking, you know,
with her pushback, but her response, if you want Donald
Trump to win, then say that otherwise I'm speaking. You know,
it's just like the response from the crowd at the rally,
you know, started chanting, not going back, I guess, I.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Mean to Donald Trump. I mean, it's just the ridiculousness
that unfolded.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Well, they've been doing that. Tim Walls was doing that,
you know, during that first appearance in Pennsylvania, and so
they're going to start to you know, they've got their
lines that they scream, and so I mean, what else
would you expect.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well, listen to her response to the lock him up chant?
I thought this one was quite cringey. Frankly, listening the
courts are gonna handle that we don't beat him in November.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I noticed how she puts on her accent. She's in Detroit. Yeah,
got to speak like the locals, right, we go beat
him in nov We aint no, you know, like Hillary
does and everything else. I mean, like I said, how insulting.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You know, if I were black, I'd be like, oh,
so you think that I automatically speak that way because
I'm black and you need to speak to me that
way in order for me to find you palatable.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Mm hmmm, cringey to say the least insulting.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
From major events to local headlines. This is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three WSC. Now back to
Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
See you at Debbie the new Karen of storms as
we've dumbed her man lingering, annoying, won't go away. Finally,
as you heard there making a second official landfall.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I made the joke earlier. You know, Rick Rush was
saying that Debbie's the new Karen for us, you know,
won't go away, and I said, well, she's not going
to go away. She's going to stick around and join
the HOA and continue to be irritating.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, k port of our team coverage of Debbie throughout
the last several days on our sister station w e ZL.
So we've got a lot to in some instances clean
up with half a dozen as you heard there in
local news headlines and Live five News as part of
the team. Here can tinuing with you know your coverage
of severe weather in six tornado confirmed touchdown six. We've
(12:09):
heard a lot about Edistow and Monk's Corner given the
RB's footage I saw went viral and made national news
actually with the blown out windows there in Monk's Corner.
But Ladies Island down in Beauford who saw an incredible
amount of rain. I think some of the most there
in Buford County has been recorded with regards to the
historic flooding over you know, over a foot of rain.
(12:30):
So they had to confirm tornado touchdown there you have.
IOP haven't heard a lot about that. Kiowa and West Ashley,
so this morning we're talking sinkhole in West Ashley. There's
a Romney Street downtown a sinkhole. We don't normally hear
a whole lot about sinkholes here in the Low Countral
I'll never forget when we did reporting down in Florida,
(12:52):
first time I ever heard about sink holes, you know,
making the traffic report, and I just went into the
newsroom like one of my first days, and I was like,
what's the deal with the same because there's sinkholes open
up and swallow homes.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
There's a lot of sinkholes in Florida. And if I
remember correctly, I think it's because there's gypsum. You know
that they make drywall out of gypsum deposits in Florida
and that tends to soak up the water and then
become weak and collapse, and so Florida there's literally sinkholes
all over the state of Florida. They're not unseen here.
(13:26):
I remember my wife calling me she had to go
downtown for something in a sinkhole opened up in the
street and the car was parked right next to it,
and she's like, what do I do? And she, kind
of against my advice, tiptoed around that sinkhole and back
the car out of there before that thing went in
the hole.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
They're pretty rare for South Carolina and not an unprecedented way.
In unprecedented ways like Florida, where quite literally the story.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I remember.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The first that I heard there as I drove into
work that morning was that a sinkhole swallowed a man
and walking his dog a home in a few cars
on the street, and I thought, my word, where if
I moved to, Oh my god, that's really scary. So
as we head into a break here, Blaze, I want
to pull up Patrick, he's got a he's got a
quick reaction here to your gout comment with us being
(14:17):
drenched with Debbie downpours now moving out of our forecast
and a Zincole's story, Patrick, good morning.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
What's happening guys?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, I don't have gout, but Blaze feels is feeling
pretty crappy with all the bad weather affecting.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, turmerican ginger, dude, I saw it on TikTok. It
must be real. Get on it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh perfect, I'll go make myself some uh what was
it to American and ginger? They'll make some Turmerican ginger
tea right now because my knees are killing me.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, I'm feeling all the sports injuries I've had in
the past for sure. Well, Patrick Tablet, tell us about
you work downtown through some of this.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yeah, so we well, we were doing a project that
the before it was go I think it's Goat Sheep Cow.
They're eight oh four Meeting and we were cutting some
concrete out and that building's only about maybe eight nine
feet off of Meeting Street, and our concrete saw when
we made the final cut, fell down into a cavity.
The cavity actually stretched about ten feet into Meeting streets,
(15:14):
so they had to close down the entire Meeting Street.
I've never seen anything like that before, but apparently, according
to the city, there are several of those around So
it's pretty interesting that that happened right over there on Romney.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, so what I was saying, you know where it's
not a unique incident to happen that there's sinkholes around town.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, well, yeah, the roadways here coming up. Patrick, Glad
that nobody was hurt, I mean, losing a saw like that.
Ooh well so yeah, working through, working through Debbie. So
now we've got people sort of getting back on track here,
which is why we'll bring you. I know you're looking
forward to the weekend, I'm sure, Patrick, I am.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I got to get out of here to go play
some golf, though. I think that's what I gotta do.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I hear you man, Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Check out our website ninety three doublusc dot com. Now
back to Aston's morning News with Kelly and Plays and.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Your sports report. Just ahead, bronze for Barrows. Shout out
to my alma mater, the College of Charleston. They're sailing
assistant coach Ian Barrows taking home bronze for Team USA
in his first Olympic game. So congratulations to one of
our hometown sports heroes here this morning.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
That's pretty cool, very cool, all right, not cool.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
We've got a sinkhole one we know West Ashley, another
one Art just talking about in traffic on Romney. James
apparently weighing in on that there this morning.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Nobody's saying where it is in West Ashley.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I know I'm looking that up right now.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I tried. We probably shouldn't mention it until we find
out where it is.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Well, Live Five's on it. We'll keep you up today. Hey,
what's up, James?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Good morning, Kelly.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, I mean the sinkhole on Romney. Notice may or
may not be what it is, but there's lots of
areas downtown on the Peninsula where you have the old
brick arch storm drain that's from like, you know, the
late eighteen hundreds and stuff, and then some cases it's
not in the best condition, so that can create sinkholes.
And then you've got other areas where in downtown you've
(17:08):
got the old fire cisterns that are that are underground
that you know, collected rain water and whatnot for fire
protection back in the day, and a lot of those
never got filled in as the city developed, they just
got built over. You know, you run into stuff like
that all the time working downtown, caller talking about cutting
(17:30):
concrete and then they just found this giant basically this
giant hole on that last cut. You know. See, you
find stuff like that all the time downtown and so
not not necessarily surprising that there's a sinkhole, you know,
down on Romney in that area, but like Blaze, I'm
curious where this one in West Ashley is because you know,
(17:51):
I live over that neck of the woods and just
curious to know.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, being reported by our TV partner Live five News.
We'll put it out there as soon as we get
it and find out with Art who's on it as well.
In traffic. Thanks James, We appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to
three WSC. Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It is national Sneak some zucchini onto your neighbor's porch day.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Bring it well.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
If you've ever grown zucchini, you know that you have
more than enough, and then you have to find different
things to do with it, like baked bread and maybe
fry some up, or make some pasta, or go sneak
some on your neighbor's porch because you literally don't know
what to do with it all.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I can't believe I have a tool that makes noodles
out of zucchini, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well, that's cool. Well maybe you can. Maybe somebody will
sneak some zucchini on your porch and you can put
that tool to work.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You can bring it right here to work if you
want to.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Nine to fifty Houston, Northcote, second floor, look for the
red lobby.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh, be careful what you asked for. The first zucchinis
were cultivated in northern Italy starting in the eighteen fifties.
The first written record of zucchini can be traced back
to Milan in nineteen oh one. It's believed that zucchini's
never really made it their way across the pond, as
they say, to the United States, until the nineteen twenties
when they were brought across by Italians and then cultivated
(19:17):
in California, and they spread from there, and they spread
so much that we have too many zucchinis. And today
is National Sneak some Zucchini under your neighbor's porch Day
to get rid of your excess zucchini by Kelly wants it.
So just remember that you said.

uh since Debbie and all of the you know, we
(06:35):
always hear Debbie downer, and I had said it'll be
kind of Debbie drowner because the of the historic flooding
that we'd been warned about, and we hit it. We
hit those historic numbers, especially to the south of us
in Beaufort County. Uh and uh, I know, the half
a dozen tornadoes finally did get confirmed by the National
Weather Service, who have been quite busy, as we have
(06:55):
with a lot of this extended coverage over the last
several days with regard to Debbie.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But I mean, we heard a lot about Monk's Corner.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I know it made national news because of the videos
that we have posted at nine four three WUSC of
the damage there at the businesses. It wasn't just walmartin
Dollar General. Big one that made the rounds was Rby's
with the blown out windows and the flipped over white truck.
But in Edistow we saw I think if you've been
paying attention to the coverage, you saw you know the businesses.
(07:25):
Maconkey's was one of them, and Coots Bar and Grilled.
They had some damage and no to their roof. There
was a home damaged out there, and there's been ongoing
flooding out there on Edistow. But they did confirm that
tornado and e F one Monk's Corner is and Edistow
seemed to get the most coverage. But Ladies Island I
(07:48):
mentioned Beaufort tornado confirmed there. The Isle of Palms, Kiowa
and West Ashley, now those are ones not a whole
lot of folks have been talking about so confirmed touchdowns
there well again to exactly where about Kiowa, Isle of
Palms and West Ashley. So it's all reasons why we
need to take the Morning seriously, and it really looked
(08:09):
like to me, since you and I did have to
be out and about that, a lot of people did
heed the warnings and I'm I'm very happy to see that,
to be honest, and I know it's been frustrating, but
people getting back out to it this morning do need
to be concerned because we've got quite a decent sized
sinkhole that's opened up near Meeting Street at Romney this
morning in downtown Charleston. We will continue to check the
(08:32):
roadways as I think it was about two to four
inches of rain on top of the larrety saturated soil
did move into our forecast once Debbie made that landfall overnight,
and again talk about getting a pass. The fact that
she made a landfall in you know, near the basically
went up into the Francis Maria National Forest, which is
(08:53):
mostly forest, is a good thing. So well, dig more
into Debbi here coming up been We kind of dubbed
her the Karen of storms. I feel like Kamala is
the Karen of this presidential run. And you know, come
November in the White House and I don't know, and
she's just having some of her first rallies and it's
already who packing my patients listening to Kamala rally, I mean,
(09:19):
makes some sense of this. I know we'll talk more
about it here in less than twenty minutes and your
top three things you need to know. But here she
is getting shouted down by protesters at her rally in Michigan.
It just doesn't even make sense. You got the pro
Palestinian protesters at her rally, and the people are pushing back,
(09:40):
and she did as well, like I'm speaking, you know,
with her pushback, but her response, if you want Donald
Trump to win, then say that otherwise I'm speaking. You know,
it's just like the response from the crowd at the rally,
you know, started chanting, not going back, I guess, I.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Mean to Donald Trump. I mean, it's just the ridiculousness
that unfolded.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Well, they've been doing that. Tim Walls was doing that,
you know, during that first appearance in Pennsylvania, and so
they're going to start to you know, they've got their
lines that they scream, and so I mean, what else
would you expect.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well, listen to her response to the lock him up chant?
I thought this one was quite cringey. Frankly, listening the
courts are gonna handle that we don't beat him in November.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I noticed how she puts on her accent. She's in Detroit. Yeah,
got to speak like the locals, right, we go beat
him in nov We aint no, you know, like Hillary
does and everything else. I mean, like I said, how insulting.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You know, if I were black, I'd be like, oh,
so you think that I automatically speak that way because
I'm black and you need to speak to me that
way in order for me to find you palatable.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Mm hmmm, cringey to say the least insulting.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
From major events to local headlines. This is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three WSC. Now back to
Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
See you at Debbie the new Karen of storms as
we've dumbed her man lingering, annoying, won't go away. Finally,
as you heard there making a second official landfall.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I made the joke earlier. You know, Rick Rush was
saying that Debbie's the new Karen for us, you know,
won't go away, and I said, well, she's not going
to go away. She's going to stick around and join
the HOA and continue to be irritating.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, k port of our team coverage of Debbie throughout
the last several days on our sister station w e ZL.
So we've got a lot to in some instances clean
up with half a dozen as you heard there in
local news headlines and Live five News as part of
the team. Here can tinuing with you know your coverage
of severe weather in six tornado confirmed touchdown six. We've
(12:09):
heard a lot about Edistow and Monk's Corner given the
RB's footage I saw went viral and made national news
actually with the blown out windows there in Monk's Corner.
But Ladies Island down in Beauford who saw an incredible
amount of rain. I think some of the most there
in Buford County has been recorded with regards to the
historic flooding over you know, over a foot of rain.
(12:30):
So they had to confirm tornado touchdown there you have.
IOP haven't heard a lot about that. Kiowa and West Ashley,
so this morning we're talking sinkhole in West Ashley. There's
a Romney Street downtown a sinkhole. We don't normally hear
a whole lot about sinkholes here in the Low Countral
I'll never forget when we did reporting down in Florida,
(12:52):
first time I ever heard about sink holes, you know,
making the traffic report, and I just went into the
newsroom like one of my first days, and I was like,
what's the deal with the same because there's sinkholes open
up and swallow homes.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
There's a lot of sinkholes in Florida. And if I
remember correctly, I think it's because there's gypsum. You know
that they make drywall out of gypsum deposits in Florida
and that tends to soak up the water and then
become weak and collapse, and so Florida there's literally sinkholes
all over the state of Florida. They're not unseen here.
(13:26):
I remember my wife calling me she had to go
downtown for something in a sinkhole opened up in the
street and the car was parked right next to it,
and she's like, what do I do? And she, kind
of against my advice, tiptoed around that sinkhole and back
the car out of there before that thing went in
the hole.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
They're pretty rare for South Carolina and not an unprecedented way.
In unprecedented ways like Florida, where quite literally the story.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I remember.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The first that I heard there as I drove into
work that morning was that a sinkhole swallowed a man
and walking his dog a home in a few cars
on the street, and I thought, my word, where if
I moved to, Oh my god, that's really scary. So
as we head into a break here, Blaze, I want
to pull up Patrick, he's got a he's got a
quick reaction here to your gout comment with us being
(14:17):
drenched with Debbie downpours now moving out of our forecast
and a Zincole's story, Patrick, good morning.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
What's happening guys?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, I don't have gout, but Blaze feels is feeling
pretty crappy with all the bad weather affecting.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, turmerican ginger, dude, I saw it on TikTok. It
must be real. Get on it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh perfect, I'll go make myself some uh what was
it to American and ginger? They'll make some Turmerican ginger
tea right now because my knees are killing me.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, I'm feeling all the sports injuries I've had in
the past for sure. Well, Patrick Tablet, tell us about
you work downtown through some of this.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yeah, so we well, we were doing a project that
the before it was go I think it's Goat Sheep Cow.
They're eight oh four Meeting and we were cutting some
concrete out and that building's only about maybe eight nine
feet off of Meeting Street, and our concrete saw when
we made the final cut, fell down into a cavity.
The cavity actually stretched about ten feet into Meeting streets,
(15:14):
so they had to close down the entire Meeting Street.
I've never seen anything like that before, but apparently, according
to the city, there are several of those around So
it's pretty interesting that that happened right over there on Romney.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, so what I was saying, you know where it's
not a unique incident to happen that there's sinkholes around town.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, well, yeah, the roadways here coming up. Patrick, Glad
that nobody was hurt, I mean, losing a saw like that.
Ooh well so yeah, working through, working through Debbie. So
now we've got people sort of getting back on track here,
which is why we'll bring you. I know you're looking
forward to the weekend, I'm sure, Patrick, I am.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I got to get out of here to go play
some golf, though. I think that's what I gotta do.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I hear you man, Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Check out our website ninety three doublusc dot com. Now
back to Aston's morning News with Kelly and Plays and.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Your sports report. Just ahead, bronze for Barrows. Shout out
to my alma mater, the College of Charleston. They're sailing
assistant coach Ian Barrows taking home bronze for Team USA
in his first Olympic game. So congratulations to one of
our hometown sports heroes here this morning.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
That's pretty cool, very cool, all right, not cool.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
We've got a sinkhole one we know West Ashley, another
one Art just talking about in traffic on Romney. James
apparently weighing in on that there this morning.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Nobody's saying where it is in West Ashley.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I know I'm looking that up right now.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I tried. We probably shouldn't mention it until we find
out where it is.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Well, Live Five's on it. We'll keep you up today. Hey,
what's up, James?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Good morning, Kelly.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, I mean the sinkhole on Romney. Notice may or
may not be what it is, but there's lots of
areas downtown on the Peninsula where you have the old
brick arch storm drain that's from like, you know, the
late eighteen hundreds and stuff, and then some cases it's
not in the best condition, so that can create sinkholes.
And then you've got other areas where in downtown you've
(17:08):
got the old fire cisterns that are that are underground
that you know, collected rain water and whatnot for fire
protection back in the day, and a lot of those
never got filled in as the city developed, they just
got built over. You know, you run into stuff like
that all the time working downtown, caller talking about cutting
(17:30):
concrete and then they just found this giant basically this
giant hole on that last cut. You know. See, you
find stuff like that all the time downtown and so
not not necessarily surprising that there's a sinkhole, you know,
down on Romney in that area, but like Blaze, I'm
curious where this one in West Ashley is because you know,
(17:51):
I live over that neck of the woods and just
curious to know.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, being reported by our TV partner Live five News.
We'll put it out there as soon as we get
it and find out with Art who's on it as well.
In traffic. Thanks James, We appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to
three WSC. Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It is national Sneak some zucchini onto your neighbor's porch day.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Bring it well.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
If you've ever grown zucchini, you know that you have
more than enough, and then you have to find different
things to do with it, like baked bread and maybe
fry some up, or make some pasta, or go sneak
some on your neighbor's porch because you literally don't know
what to do with it all.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I can't believe I have a tool that makes noodles
out of zucchini, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well, that's cool. Well maybe you can. Maybe somebody will
sneak some zucchini on your porch and you can put
that tool to work.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You can bring it right here to work if you
want to.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Nine to fifty Houston, Northcote, second floor, look for the
red lobby.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh, be careful what you asked for. The first zucchinis
were cultivated in northern Italy starting in the eighteen fifties.
The first written record of zucchini can be traced back
to Milan in nineteen oh one. It's believed that zucchini's
never really made it their way across the pond, as
they say, to the United States, until the nineteen twenties
when they were brought across by Italians and then cultivated
(19:17):
in California, and they spread from there, and they spread
so much that we have too many zucchinis. And today
is National Sneak some Zucchini under your neighbor's porch Day
to get rid of your excess zucchini by Kelly wants it.
So just remember that you said.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That I will.
