Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael dil Chono, we.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Got snow in New Orleans and we got sant Ana
wins returning to California. Roy o'neilis our national correspondent, joining
us with the latest done.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Mother Nature's wrath.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
We had talked about late last week about how they
need to make a lot of progress in the next
five days because the high winds are returning.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well, how much progress did they make because they're come
to high winds.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Right Those anna's were returning, not as bad, but still
you know, if it can if it threatens aviation operations,
that's when they become a problem because those helicopters and
airplanes are so effective at fighting these fires. The Big
Palisades fire has burned about twenty four thousand acres. It's
now nearly sixty six oho percent contained. That was the

(00:46):
last report yesterday morning. The Eton fire, which I think
has actually been more destructive, that's about eighty seven percent
contained after burning fourteen thousand acres. So a lot of
good progress has been made over the past before or
five days, but everyone needs to be on high alert.
That is the quote from the mayor of La yesterday,

(01:06):
as there are red flag warnings still up until about
one o'clock this afternoon Eastern time.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's going to drive people crazy. You'll hear me make
references to being born in Flint, Michigan, outside of Detroit,
which made adding nine ten the superstation of Detroit so
special to me. But we left when I was five,
and then I was in Chicago from five to thirteen
and then New Orleans from thirteen to twenty whatever, so
I kind of grew up in both places. I cannot imagine,

(01:33):
and I've seen some bad drivers. We've got some pretty
bad drivers here in Nashville. The worst, like a third
world country, is New Orleans, and I can't imagine them
driving in snow. They're going to all end up in
a canal snow in New Orleans, and a lot of it.
That's another It's probably the strangest of the weather, right.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I think they're going to get two to four inches
of rain in the Florida Panhandle. So imagine Pensacola, Panama City, Tallahassee,
all covered in snow. Lot of the worst weather starts
to arrive tonight Mobile is also expecting snow, so pretty
remarkable because these places don't have plows. They don't have
standing trucks, so they you know, they really are stock

(02:11):
and essentially telling everyone stay home, So that what does
that happen? So what happens when you tell everyone to
stay home in the South, They get in their four
wheel drive pickup truck and see what they can do.
So that's what we're expecting over the next forty eight
hours or so. Note, by the way, they declared a
state of emergency in Florida, and in the official declaration
of the emergency those first whereas here for too Therefore,

(02:34):
whereas a low pressure system is approaching from the Gulf
of America.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Dot that's Rory's teeth for when he comes back next
half hour. Donald Trump seems to mean business about everything
he's promised and everything the American people elected him to do,
including perhaps Golf of America.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Roy'll be back with that story.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your morning show with Michael Delchrona.
