Speaker 1 (00:00):
A couple on their honeymoon in Jamaica talk to NBC
News on Monday about how they were preparing for the
storm now. They tried to get out of Jamaica on Saturday,
when they knew the storm was a threat.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Their flight was canceled.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
They weren't able to leave, and they said the staff
at the hotel where they were staying has been fantastic.
They were sheltered inside two restaurants in the resort with
about one hundred and sixty other guests.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And here's some more.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
We were informed by our group leader, which is the
general manager, that we should start to experience impact as
Hurricane Melissa gets closer, but where we are located, we
actually will not hear anything loud.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
So you did give us that reassurance.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And they also let us know that they're going to
be shutting off the power for fire and hazard concerns,
but the generators will kick up and start running.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And then they also talked about the mood and how
people were feeling as they were all sheltered together getting
ready for the storm, and what they were most worried about.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I think we're all.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Very calm, we have smarts.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Everyone's just kind of resting and trying and keep ourselves
busy in our minds off things. There's no concerns or
just really concerned for the outside the island of Jamaica,
and we just want everyone to keep them in their
hearts and thoughts and be prepared to help with the
devastation afterwards.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, they talked a lot about the staff at this
resort and how they were there working making sure that
the guests were taken care of while you know, their
families and everybody was at home getting ready for the
storm themselves.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
This was something I didn't really think of in advance
of Hurricane Melissa, but it is Jamaica. And the stories
that I saw, I mean North Carolina couple, Rhode Island couple,
Halifax couple, Mississippi newlyweds, Longview, Texas couple.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, a lot of people on their honeymoons.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
All these honeymoon stories were popping up.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Then I wonder how many people because this couple also
talked about like helping in the aftermath, Like how many
of these people who are there, their safety, of food,
they have, all that will end up staying to help
with the recovery, right right?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
And how many people question the decision to get may
it's a bad omen yeah, by a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
A meteorologist from My Radar was on CNN out Front
Monday night talking about what it was like flying into
the eye of Hurricane Melissa on the Hurricane Hunter's plane,
and then Aaron Burnett brought up how he got sick
on the turbulent flight as they showed the video of
him puking into the air sickness bag. Now, thankfully there
(02:27):
was no audio to go along with him vomiting, but
it was pretty gross to see him gagging and then
he you know, yags into.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The airsickness bag.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But I thought it was interesting as he talked about
what it was like being on that flight.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Aside from the puking part of.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
It, I'd say it's very reminiscent of a roller coaster
at night. If you've ever been on space mounted at
Disney World, you sort of know how it is. You know,
it's dark, you don't know if you're going updown, left,
or right. You're jostled all about to and fro, and
we had that for about tennish minutes. You have to
remember the Hurricane hunters are flying through the storm at
about two hundred and eighty mile per hour, and so
you have ten crazy minutes with the turbulence and then
(03:04):
suddenly it's calm and you're in the eye. And I
have to say that was one of the most breath
taking and simultaneously horrifying experiences I've ever had.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And then she shifted to talking about how he threw up.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, I mean, maybe this is wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, but maybe this is the type of compelling content
they need to put behind the payball right right streaming.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Certain the most interesting thing they've done in a long time.
So inside the eyewall, I guess the plane was thrown
nearly seven hundred feet up and down within a single mix.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh yeah, they were all over the place.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They had to turn around and come out, which they
don't usually have to do. I just wonder, how are
these planes built to be able to withstand that kind
of turbulence?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Like that's what's crazy, I know.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I know, And can we build like all airplanes like that?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, because I freak out in just a little bit
of a thunderstorm or something, or sometimes you get turbulence
and there's not even a storm. I can't even imagine
what that must feel like.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Yeah, they were circling the eye for like more than
thirty five minutes, trying to figure out a path to
get out of there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah, without going.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Through this all the lightning and stuff around the eye too.
It's crazy that they can even do that. CNN just
denounced its new all access subscription service, which will offer
the classic CNN experience plus the whole website, video on demand,
and access to CNN international breaking news updates and CNN originals,
(04:27):
some with ads. They're also working on ways to incorporate
CNN Weather and CNN in Spanish into the streaming service.
All this for six to ninety nine a month, or
if you subscribe for a year, sixty.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Nine ninety nine. And I'm just sitting here thinking what
is so great about? Why am I going to pay
for this?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Well, as amusing as it is.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
And I couldn't help but laugh when you said that
classic CNN experience. Yeah, they're really just following what everybody
else is doing. You've got people switching from traditional cave
services and they're just picking a few streaming options instead.
And everyone wants to make sure there's an option for
their content. So like maybe somebody decides I'm going to
(05:09):
do Netflix, and they get their news from CNN, and
they don't want to pay for cable, so they'll pay
for this to have it.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think that's what this is.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
I just don't think they're going to see a huge
sign up with the role allow And they tried.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
To do that CNN plus thing a couple of years
ago that was a total flop. So this is just
what they're already offering, kind of repackage exactly. The City
of Bradenton has issued over thirty five hundred school speed
zone camera violations since the beginning of the school year,
with each fine at one hundred dollars. The highest speed
clocked was sixty seven miles an hour somebody flying through
(05:47):
a school zone. Yeah, so violations are issued to anyone
caught going ten miles an hour or more over the
posted speed limit, and the cameras operate thirty minutes before
and after school, so seven am to around four thirty
during the week, depending on what time that particular school
is in session. And the Bradenton Police Department shared this
information on Facebook and said slow down in school zones.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, I mean sixty seven miles per hour in a
school zone. That's not not knowing what's happening.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
That's not caring.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh yeah, that is flying through the school zone. And
now that my son, now that we've moved. When I
go pick up my son after school, I drive the
whole way just kind of around the school, and I
see so many kids doing stupid, careless things, and I'm like,
this is why it's so important, Yeah, that we as
adults go slow because a kid's.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Gonna get hurt.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
If you don't know by now that this is a
thing and adjust.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Accordingly, you deserve a ticket.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
And I know there have been some issues with the
cameras and all that kind of stuff, but I mean,
come on, and they're actually giving a ten mile per
hour cushion, which I think is pretty generous.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
It is, Yeah, it absolutely is, because if the speed
limit is fifteen or twenty, you can be going twenty five.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Or third right now. Gives you a little room to
work with. Can't go sixty seven miles per hour in
the school zone. The Ryan Gorman Show five to nine
