  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WOR Now Goodnestleewa and Larry
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Minty in the morning seven tenr Well, we had.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: A short respite after some severe weather. We're still recovering
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: from that, and now the potential of another storm, heavy
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: rain expected today, the possibility of thunderstorms. Let's take a
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: deeper dive into all this with Jeff Maher seven to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: ten WOR Weather Channel meteorologists. Let's start with Jeff, Thanks
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: a lot for doing this. By the way, when is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it all expected to start? And then when will the worst.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Of it be? Yeah, it's going to start as we
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: head from the middle part of this morning of the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: early part of the afternoon. All right, we're seeing a
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: cluster of some thunderstorms moving out of eastern Pennsylvania into
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: towards West Jersey. But the heaviest rainfall will be as
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: we head from this afternoon to the evening hours. That's
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: why we had the floodwash through late tonight and the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: risk for severe weather from mid afternoon, probably about two
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: or three o'clock until body o'clock this evening. That when
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: we could have some damaging wind gusts, maybe some hail,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: possibly in an isolated tornado.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Now, Jeff, I ask you a question.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Our officials pretty much have figured if they were doing
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: the prediction market of where all the low lying areas
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: are going to get clowbird the way there's going to
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: be because of this extreme weather flash flooding. Have they
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: done anything in preparation because this is occurring more and
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: more and more.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems to be for sure. And you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we had record rainfall on Saturday obviously, and the ground
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: was saturated, and now you know we have another round
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: coming up today and it doesn't take a whole lot
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: of heavier rain. Of course, we're talking about the city
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: to cause some big flooding issues, and that's going to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: be the concern, not as much on your way in
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: this morning, but for your way back home later this
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: afternoon of the evening. That's what we're going to be
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: concerned about. That's what We'll have some heavy downpours and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: we could light up with us and we said one
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to two inches across the tri state area, maybe three
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: to four inch tutals though across parts of the city
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and in northern parts of Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the possibility of three to four. That's really
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: scaring me. And how short of a time is that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And then we just went through this over the weekend
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and people were stuck on the roads and in deep water,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: people had to pull over. Is it going to be
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that bad again today?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It could be. It certainly could be as we head
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: from the middle part of the afternoon three o'clock or
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: so into the evening, and you know, now we're going
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to deal with that heavy rain threat, but we have
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a warm front that will be in the vicinity and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that could cause some severe thudder storms. So we've got
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a cold front that's going to be closing in from
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: tonight and tomorrow morning, so we'll have another round of
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: rainfall and at the start of Wednesday before improving weather.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow afternoon we'll start to see some sun breaking through
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and then we'll have a beautiful stretch of weather from
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Thursday into our weekend with a whole lot of sunshine
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and some comfortable temperatures. But we have to get past
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the bad weather today and into the evening before we
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: see improvements later tomorrow.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Now, obviously this sounds like another lemon to make lemonade
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: out of it. Might this spur the growth and develop
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: and and the artisans creating gondolas for people in these
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: low lying areas.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Menace has learned to deal with this. They're always underwater.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Might this just be a precursor to some entrepreneurs out there, Hey,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: let's start creating gondolas, because in a lot of these
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: areas you're going.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: To be underwater.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: It's we've seen people that basements get flooded time and
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: time again, even sometimes up to the first floor. They
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: don't clean out to catch basins, whether they're private, the
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: city doesn't clean out, or the county, and it's just
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: an endless cycle.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a lot to deal with. Obviously in
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: the urban environment, you know that water has to go somewhere,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and you mix in some clogged sewers and drains and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: those kinds of things that could really cause some problems
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: on the roadways. And hopefully we'll get through it okay
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: as we head towards the evening. But you know, not
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: only the heavy rain threat, by that severe weather threat
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: looming as well. So we'll keep you updated here as
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: we make our way towards the evening.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Jeff mar w R Weather Channel meteorologists, We
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: hope to talk to you again during the show. Thanks
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: for your time.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: You got to thank you. Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You know what I never can understand the people that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: inevitably are going to get stuck on the road in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: deep water. Everybody knows where those spots are. Everybody knows
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: people get stuck there, and yet somebody comes up to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it and says, oh, I can make it, I can
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: make it through, and then there there are they have
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to be rescued a little bit later. Inevitably that's going
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to happen today.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Well, if I could control a prediction market, Josh for
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: extreme weather. All of those roads in Westchester County that
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: lead to Connecticut and upstate, they always underwater, you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: right along the Bronx River. Oh my god, the Merrick Parkway.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: It's such a little sprints and they're underwater. You say
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: to yourself, what have they done over the eas to
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: try to do something.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, you go to a place like Denmark, they're underwaters.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: So they have all those dykes, you know, the little
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Dutch boy, you know, putting his finger in the dyke.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, we've learned them all that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: We know. Down in New Orleans they have that. We
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: never seem to get.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: To that point of building these protective devices to keep
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: these low lying areas out of harm's way.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just money. It's exactly that you'd think it
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: would be important enough. But you know, you talked about
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Westchester County, New Jersey has a similar problem. If you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: remember the storm that was over the weekend, that one
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: guy that decided he was going to try to make
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it through it was like a lake. It was under
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a train overpass. He got stuck and then he was
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: sliding along the side of the wall trying to be rescued.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, look it. If you see water and you're
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: questioning whether I should go or shouldn't go, don't.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Just don't, definitely don't. There's that phrase turn around, don't drown.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: There you go, turn around, don't drown. Just keep that
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: in your head when you see it, because I know
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: everybody has that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I could do it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done it before. That's the other thing, because
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: one time they made it, and so they try to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: make it again, but inevitably.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you invested in this big monster truck of vote
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: yours four wheel try built for these moments. You go
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: in there and the next thing you need a fire engine.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Then come to your rescue time and time again. On
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: the BQI on Saturday, That's what was happening, But it
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: was happening all throughout the Tri State area. I am
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: looking forward though to the ring and I'll tell you
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: why not, because I want to see harm come to
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: our many neighbors, because we know, unfortunately it is we
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: almost We can see people already taking all their items
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: out of their basements and putting it on the curb
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: to be picked up and taken to the landfill. But
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I took that number two train the Beast down a
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: forty second street Times.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Square in order to walk up here to do our.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Show this morning for the purpose of seeing what would
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: happen one day after World Cup. Now remember you, Larry,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: yesterday had to negotiate your way through celebrating fans of
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Spain that won the World Cup. Natalie was watching Span
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: fans being arrested on forty second Street and Eighth Avenue
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: for unruly behavior. All that was going on, so eying.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: I want to get out. I want to walk to
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Times Square. I want to get a sense of who remains.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: And as I.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Emerged, I gotta tell you it was four o'clock in
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: the morning, and I felt I was like I was
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Travis Pickle from Taxi Driver, Remember that opening scene, Thank
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: God for the rain to wash the trash off the
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: sidewalk and make the flotsam and jetsam disappear. Really is
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: garbage everywhere. And this is always the case, even after
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: World Cup. You would think they'd get the clean up
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: coups out the groups out there like at four in
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: the morning when people aren't going to work, and have
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: it spick and spanned up. That's an old phrase, speaking
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: span speaking spanned up. You know, power hoses everything clean
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: for working day. They never do that. But who did
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I run across? Nuts fans from Spain? They must have
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: all gone home. They had their parade yesterday in Madrid,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: you know their celebration the Argentines. You know, I'm telling you,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: I'm really starting to dislike the argent.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Well, they were jerks on the field, they're probably jerks
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: off the wall.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I got it, let me tell you.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: And now I'm gonna give Andrew Giuliani a cauliflower eline
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: on this. He's he's already taking victory laps on behalf
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: of President Trump. And you know Trump had appointed him
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: the American to work with FIFA to organize all the
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: matches all over the UN.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: That's in reject that he's coming up at a twenty five.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: That is correct. I'm going to not a twenty five.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: He's coming up at seven thirty five.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be I'm going to be a tive.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Right, I'm gonna be giving him a cauliflower ear. Because
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: these Argentines were in Times Square and they're looking for
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: a shot a leg at least that was what they
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: were signaling to me. And they wanted reefer marijuana. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I told them, look, get out of my city, do
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: your last tango here right here in Duffy Square and
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: go back to witness rics please. Now, I don't know
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: if they understood me because they were mostly speaking Spanish,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: but they are belligerent, they are nasty, and I want
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Andrew Giuliani to get in touch with the Department of
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security Director now Mullen and if they haven't left
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: by the end of the workday today, hey get a
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: retainer right.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: From I support these guys in doubt. They don't want
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: to make my country anymore. My god, you know.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Why the Spaniards wanted to get back because a huge celebration, right,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they want to get back to their celebration Argentinan's.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: And also no more of them wanted to get arrested.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, Natalie was an eyewitness to that. And then
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: we're going to have the return of the Bacchi play
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Joe Bartlett and yes, we're going to discuss something that
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: had bothered me for thirty years, and I know it
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: bothered him. The thirtieth anniversary of TWA Flight eight hundred.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Now Joe will be joining us at.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: Eight at eight thirty five.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: He's been on this. I've been on this.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I actually caught Poison Oak and Poison Ivy the double
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: because I was out in the area, that rustic area
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: of the East Mauritius where the TWA Flight eight hundred
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: one down. Now, apparently through a release of public information,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: finally there were faxes coming in from Cairo two days
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: later that alleged that it was Muslim terrorist groups that
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: took down that flight. Wow, and that was during the
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: heyday of the Muslim Brothers. Sure, so I think this
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: really needs a revisit because a lot was said about
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: it at the time. It was never resolved. It's never
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: been resolved for me, I know for Joe Bartlett. We
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: welcome him back from the Bacchi Court in South Carolina,
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: and you're gonna give us an update in a nine
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: o'clock How many people have fled our area like Joe.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Wat exactly and they a lot of them went to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: South Carolina too. Yeah, that's all coming up. But coming
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: up next, why is it? And it just seems to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: be a certain breed democratic female politicians that love to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: put on airs when they go to different sections of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the country. You'll hear the latest to do it, coming
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: up next.
• 11:33
