Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yesterday morning, we talked to Ryan Sudal, these morning news
anchor WSNN TV in Sarasota, Florida. That's before Milton showed up.
Milton showed up right between Tampa and Sarasota, very close
to Sarasota. In fact, Brian, I know you're battening down
the hatches yesterday. How'd you fare?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I actually, all things considered fairly fairly well, still been
without power for about twelve hours now. But the yeah,
I believe the eye came over right around leado Key,
just a little north of c s to Key Beach,
and actually had about a half hour experience directly inside
whatever was left of the Eye where there was just
absolutely no wind, and then moments later just kicked back
(00:41):
up to fifty sixty miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I was watching people from your west coast reporting from
parking garages and other places up above the waters. The
storm surge was just unbelievable to me watching that water
coming in. What was the wind like? I mean, can
you even describe what it feels like when you get
battered by that kind of wind?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It was very It was different because I was expecting
kind of like a like a north south, but you know,
the first you know, a few hours of the storm,
the wind is blowing directly kind of away from my
house and windows, and then the eye hit where it
was just calm and serene, and then those trees just
blow the complete opposite direction when the when the back
(01:25):
end of the uh of the storm came through, so
it was very very windy. Did not go outside much,
but the in the eye there were a few neighbors
that came out and just kind of staring up in all.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, I'm guessing you know, there's not a lot of information. Obviously,
you don't have powers, so there's not a lot of
information that you can gather. But some of the video
coming out of Tampa right now is really quite amazing.
Tropic can Of Field. The entire roof is pretty much
blown off with Trapic Canda Field. I guess that's not
a huge surprise, but uh, you know, we're talking multi
billions of dollars worth of damage here, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well in Trapic Cannafield is my second home door and
base all season. I do some work with their in
game presentation people. So watching the watching the video come
out of Saint Petersburg, we've been through some nasty storms
and in recent years, but I don't think we've ever
ever could have imagined the damage and destruction to the
roof of the trough.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
As far as the rest of state, we're watching people
being rescued out of apartment complexes in Orlando, that area,
your whole Atlantic coast is that's that's not storm surge,
that's rain and that's what lake's overrunning. What is that
high water from there?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I would imagine it would be from the rain. Again,
we've been so saturated the last three months with these
you know, so called you know, once in a hundred
year storms. You know we've had Debbie Helene Hallen didn't
hurt Orlando that bad, but you know, to have that
much rain saturate in the ground, you know, there's just
no place for it to go. So those lakes can't recede,
(02:57):
those rivers are going to rise, and that's that's probably
where that surge is mostly coming from.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And Ben, what have you heard of anything about FEMA's
presence there, what they're doing, where they're at, what they're providing,
and how long you're likely to be without power?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know, about two hours ago, I did get a
little flicker in the House of Power on so I
believe they are are working on it. As far as
the FEMA presence, I mean, the sun is just rising
here in Sarasota, so as far as you know, seeing
what's that on the road, I've seen a couple of
police cruisers drive by the neighborhood. But so far, it
(03:32):
seems everybody's just hunkering down and waiting, you know, waiting
for the sun to fully come up and truly assess
the damage.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
That's when you'll find out exactly what did happen to
your house. Ryan, all turns out well. Thank you for
joining us. We appreciate it. Best of luck, Ryan Sudhal,
