  Speaker 1: This is skirt sleeve why and Larry Minty in the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: morning seventar so, it.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Was pouring this morning.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I left my house at about three o'clock, when no
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: human beings should be up.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I left about three o'clock.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I drove through pouring rain for about twenty minutes and
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: then that's it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Boom nothing.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: For the rest of my ride in it was clear,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: but I understand that there's gonna be rain throughout the day.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Did you get a lot of rain, Natalie?
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: I did about two thirty this morning, just pounding rain,
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: massive lightning and thunder and then coming in same time.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I left around three forty five, and it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: Was on and off.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: You'd get a clear spot and then you'd get a part.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: It was just pounding where you'd have to really be
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: careful because the roadways were funny.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It was Yes, I was going like forty in the city.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Did the same thing, Curt.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I was roaming around more of a spritch. I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: think we're going to be getting clobbered during the day.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But Ray Stagic are all around weather guy who seems
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to be part of the threesome. Now we start our
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: programs because there's so much extreme weather.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Almost every week.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Way once again primetime for you tell us how bad
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the rest of the day and where.
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: Well, actually in some of the worst of it, since
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: everybody came into the building this morning, right maybe you
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: didn't step outside. It's hammering right now. And even a
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: flash flood warning that covers up the five Burrows, most
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: of them anyway, Brooklyn and Manhattan's in that Staten Island,
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: also even into the Bronx, so some very heavy rain
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: coming in now. The warning means flooding emined orders occurring,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: so some of those low lying areas we've probably already
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: seen some flooding. It's been about a rainfall rate of
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: one to one and a half inches per hour.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: The good news is that it is progressive, meaning that
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: it is moving. But still I think over the next
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: couple of hours, some pretty heavy rainfall coming through the
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: city here, even out onto Long Island, Nassau, Suffolk Counties
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: due to some heavier rain moving into Levittown as we speak,
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: and then north as you get into White Plains in
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: southwest Connecticut, some heavy rain with flood advisories and a
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: floodwatch through this evening at a ridge where to have
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: a storm report that came in in Bergen County, flooding
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: on Route seventeen southbound north of Glen Avenue. And that's
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: not the only area that's flooding. It's just one of
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: the ports we've seen come in. But that's the area
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: where we've seen over the last six hours over two
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: inches of rain North Jersey. As you get into Bergen
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: County and west of that, and you get around places
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: like let's see one point eight two in Wayne two
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: and a half inches and another reporting station in Wayne,
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: and these are six hour totals, and some of that
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: heavy rain now is moving into the city. I think
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: at times today, especially late morning into the afternoon, we
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: get a few breaks in the action, but more showers
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: and thunderstorms coming in later to and with the thunderstorms
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: not saying severe to sixty mile prior winds which would
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: meet the criteria, but maybe some gusty winds to what
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: some of these storms coming through.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But I think it's really a.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Rain threat, a flood threat first, severe weather with wind
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: likely secondary.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Well, we have the ground so wet from the last
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks and now we have another downpour. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: when you talk about the winds, any winds can knock
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: down a tree with the soil that week and that
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: wet is right right, am?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I right about that?
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you got a weeken root system with all the
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: heavy rainfall we've had, so you've got wet first couple
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: of layers of the soil. So with this rain coming
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: through right now, I think in the next hour or two,
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: the heaviest of it could be some gusty winds because
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: looking southwest of US now down into Middlesex County and
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: even Mercer County through parts of Jersey, these storms are
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: heading in our direction. They're not worned on for severe
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: weather and strong winds, but looks like there's some strong
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: forty to fifty mile winds down there Roosevelt and Twin
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Rivers and Clearbook, Clearbook Park moving northeast. So for the
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: next hour or so or within the hour, not only
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: heavy rain, but there could be a little bit of
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: wind with some of these thunderstorms coming in.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So right in the middle of the rush hour you're
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Uh yeah, exactly, terrible, terrible timing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Now, race stagic New York City really avoided getting clobber
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: last week. It was really northern New Jersey Central New
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Jersey took it right on the chin. H But now
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we're going to catch that flooding. And I got to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: tell you yesterday when I went for my cup of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: cool feet in the morning, I had my three foot
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: stick bowl bat and I checked all the catch basins
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that should easily go down and catch basin. They not
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: because of the garbage that's collected to silt the flats
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and the jetsum. So with the amount of inches that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you've described that could come down within the course of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: an hour, I'm telling you the catch basins in the city,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the city streets, and more importantly, the subways with you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: are clogged with garbage. I don't think can absorb that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: kind of water at that rate of flow. I just
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: don't think it's possible. And there's been no attempt to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: try to extricate those catch basins.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: All right, And as I said, I guess the silver
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: lining is that it's not like it's gonna sit and
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: train hour after hour after hour. So maybe not the
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: worst of the flooding we've ever seen, but certainly nothing
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: like we saw last week in upstate New York. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: over the next as we said, hour, so rainfall rates
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: an inch to an inch and a half an hour,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: So it will come down hard, but it won't come
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: down hard for multiple hours. And I guess that's the
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: good news with it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, ray stage are just real quick. For those who
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: haven't left the house just yet. Do you think they
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: should stay home? And can they use you when they
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: call in?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Sure they can do that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I think if you can wait it out, wait an
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: hour or two and the heaviest rain will come through.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: You know, I think it's manageable. Don't cross water covered
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: road way, you know, the low lying airs that have
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: some flooding, stay away from those. But it's high speed wipers,
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: low speed travel, and you'll certainly grab the rain gear
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: if you're walking out and about heading down on the
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: subway or something that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Will be raining.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: But as I said, I think it's manageable, but there
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: will be some localized flooding. As we said, there's a
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: flash flood warning right now covering up most of the
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: five burns.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: So meteorologists raced age. I told me that I have
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: to wait a couple of hours before I come in.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: That's what people should say when they call.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Out my phone number.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: He's writing everybody in note for their their office.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you Ray once again to Tanto on the scene.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking, maybe, uh, people want to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: invest in Gondola's in some of these neighborhoods. But I'm
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: thinking now maybe a Noah's Ark. I mean, we're gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get hit with this kind of day, lose
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: your rain for a while. So with the extreme weather,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: noahzark many. Yeah, you don't have to have the big,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: big arc that they claim they found up in the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: mountains of Turkey.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: But the facts, you're not gonna be able to get
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: two of every animal. What you get two of.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Not too But you know, we'll get the owls. We
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Nancy and I went to see Flocko, the great movie.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it this week. Great movie about that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that owl that survived a year in freedom in Central Park.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But all the cats. Actually, Nancy will be prejudiced you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to get all the cats, but I won't tell you this.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: One more weather update. If you've ever been a Smokane, Washington,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: or Quarter Layane, Idaho, it's on the Oh my god,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it's on the border. It is such a gorgeous city.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's like you're in the middle of a forest and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: they have. They have a waterfall right in the in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: their form of Central Park, a better waterfall than Patterson,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: New Jersey has Man.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: They're getting hit by the fires.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is an urban area, over six hundred and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand people, sixty thousand people have been told to evacuate. Wow,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and they're getting clobbered in Washington State and eastern Oregon
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with these forest fires. So, I mean, you start looking.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Malibu hasn't even been rebuilt. Beautiful Malible. You've seen Mallible.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I've seen Malible right on the shore. All those houses
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: were wiped out.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: They haven't even been rebuilt.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Palisades especially, he had spoken, by the way,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: six hundred structures, seventeen thousand acres, no containment, zero percent
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: containment at this point, I've never heard that before.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Larry is such a beautiful city.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I spoke at Gonzaga University, a Jesuit university, and I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they have a great NCAA basketball team every year. But
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: oh my god, if you're mad, that's a major city.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But let's flip the script to one of the lead
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: stories in the news Hour coming in the Miracle of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: all miracles. It's two thirty in the afternoon yesterday, the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: weather was excellent. Pedestrians are passing on the Brooklyn Bridge,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of tourists and a lot of people they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: just love to walk back and forth from Brooklyn to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: downtown Manhattan. And they look up the sky. It's not
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a bird, it's not a plane, it's not Superman. It's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a forty four year old naked man who's two.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Hundred and seventy eight feet up on the North Tower.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And the emergency service unit that we were praising last week, Larry,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when you brought to our attention how they had lured
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: an impaired woman down who wanted to jump. Because they
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: have jumpers there all the time. This guy would not
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: heed their advice. He had a Kazakh flag and he
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: took a piece of his clothing apparel, tried to use
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it like a parachute like you would paraglide down.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: That didn't work too well. He went straight down, hit
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: the East River. You know, that's like hitting a concrete block.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Nothing wrong with him physically, obviously. He went for a
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: psychiatric observation at Bellevue, but he survived that jump.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think people realize that's a million to one shot.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You know like they used to have years ago. You
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: go with the Niagara falls in a barrel. Most of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: those people never survived. This is even more dangerous.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I love the New York Post. Just love the New
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: York Post. Their headline is naked nut job jumps from
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn Bridge after erecting flags. Now I envy them because
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: if I ever, in my forty years of doing news
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: all across the country, wrote that headline, they'd say to.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Me, what are you crazy? W a lawsuit? You can't
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: say that. You can't say that, but they can. Their
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: genius at it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they escape blowback, but I guess
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: they have the money for that. Now, listen, if you
• 10:41
