And we have a very large contingent 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: from the Mid South that'll be marching for the unborn. 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: And we'll be checking in with Rachel Davis and Shelley 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: Sunder from Life Choices. In just a little while, I 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: want to bring you up to speed. We are now 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: officially under a winter storm warning. But can I just 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: maybe it's just me and we'll open up the phone 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: lines as well. You know, ever since, ever since the 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: whole global warming climate change became a thing, have you 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: guys noticed that, it's like your local weather forecast has 28 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: become some sort of made for TV drama. In other words, 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: it did not use to be like this. But what's 30 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: happening now with the professional weather guessers out there is 31 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: they get on TV and they tell you it's the 32 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: end of the world, and it doesn't matter if it's 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: a winter storm or if it's a hurricane, and they 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: it literally disrupts people's lives and in many cases unnecessarily. Now, 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen over the next 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: couple of days, but the every single day, sometimes multiple 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: times during the day, over the past seventy two hours, 38 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: we have seen these professional weather guessers walk everything back 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: and then after it's all over, and it's not the 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: apocalypse that we all prepared for. And I think there 41 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: are many people out there who probably spend a lot 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: of money they did not have, buying things they probably 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: could not afford because they said that they needed them 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: to survive whatever was going to happen. But it's every 45 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: single time. This happens, every single time we have weather 46 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: coming into the Mid South, and I know that we try. 47 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: If you listen to Laura Hackeby's forecast just a few 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: moments ago, she wasn't putting the fear of God in anybody. 49 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: She said, here's what we think is going to happen, 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: and you need to be prepared for that. But this 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: twenty four inches of snow and two inches of ice. Yeah, 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: did you really believe that was going to happen. Anyway, 53 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: It's not that it's frustrating at all, but but it 54 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: does disrupt business. A lot of people are shutting down 55 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: their businesses. Again, they told us this was going to 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: be disruptive for rush hour traffic. That is not going 57 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: to happen, by the way, So again it's there are 58 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: consequences and then every single time, and this without fail. 59 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: Because I know a couple of you folks have called 60 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: out a local, one particular local, I think it was 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Channel three, and called out their meteorologist because he was 62 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: being a jerk to the viewers. This was a couple 63 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: of storms ago, because we know this has been going. 64 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: And so what happens is after the fact, they're like, well, 65 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: aren't you glad it wasn't as bad as we told 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: you it was going to be and turned out not 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: to be. Well, No, if I was wrong that many times, 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: I would not have a job, ladies and gentlemen. But anyway, 69 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: we think it's going to snow, we think there's gonna 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: be ice, and we think there's going to be freezing 71 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 1: rain allegedly.

How important is it to get the 137 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: message out because a lot of folks think, oh, well, 138 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: the abortion issue is not all that important anymore, and 139 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: even like you know, some political parties, including the Republican Party, 140 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: starting to soften up their stance on the life issue. 141 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point, Todd. It is so important 142 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: that the messaging has to be strong and firm. That 143 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: even in Tennessee there are abortion pills being mailed in 144 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 4: every day because we are not holding our legislators accountable 145 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 4: for enforcing those laws that we already have on the 146 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: books that prohibit those pills from supposed to be, you know, 147 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: from them even supposed to be coming into the state 148 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: in the first place. So this next election cycle is 149 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 4: going to be pretty important. Everyone needs to be paying attention, 150 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: and we have got to hold these people accountable, especially 151 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 4: our pro lived conservative Republicans who obtain office by running 152 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 4: on a strong life platform and then kind of doing 153 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: us a little dirty in the back office, you know. 154 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: So we got to pay attention. 155 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: We got to hold people accountable, Todd and Shelley. 156 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: That really is a big part of it, isn't it. 157 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: Because again you're looking at even you know, the White 158 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: House saying well, we may need to ease up a 159 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: little bit on the height amendment that really set off 160 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: alarm bells with every single life American in the country. 161 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: We've got to be able to stand firm, and I 162 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: think we have to have a party that stands firm 163 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: on the life issue absolutely. 164 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: Like Rachel said, we have to hold them accountable, and 165 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: I think we're seeing it directly in our pregnancy center 166 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: at Life Choices and across the nation. I talk to 167 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: pregnancy center leaders daily who are seeing the abortion is 168 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: not going down after Row.

They're going to I think all of us are 274 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: going to need all lot of help and ed one 275 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: of the big questions is with the ice, and that 276 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: seems to be a big concern about a half an 277 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: inch of ice. What should people be doing for, you know, 278 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: to protect their roofs. What do they need to be 279 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: looking out for. 280 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 6: Well, it's not a lot they can do to protect 281 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 6: the roofs, of course, but it wouldn't hurt. Have a 282 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 6: roll of plastic or a lot of plastic leaf bags 283 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 6: something like that. If you should develop a leak on 284 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: a sidewall or a valley, lay that plastic out on 285 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 6: the floor, grab some plastic tote dens or buckets whatever 286 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 6: and put under the league and that'll mitigate damages to 287 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 6: the inside. And have a mop and a bucket handy. 288 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 6: And if you have a shot back, that'd be great too. 289 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 6: I hope nobody needs it, but that could definitely happen 290 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 6: as the ice or snow begins to melt and it 291 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 6: piles up, you know, against sidewalls and chimneys and that's 292 00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 6: how it gets in. 293 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: And that's yeah, a lot of people would think, okay, 294 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: well it's not going to be that bad. We're not 295 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: going to get the twenty four inches of snow. But 296 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: ice can't actually damage somebody's. 297 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 6: Roof, Yeah it can. And what it does is it 298 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 6: course is frozen on the roof, but it's also frozen 299 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 6: in the gutters. But it melts first on the bottom 300 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 6: of the ice because a house is comparatively warmer, but 301 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 6: that water can't make it off the roof because the 302 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 6: gutters are frozen. So it's going to find its way 303 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 6: in siding and especially chimneys that have siding. That sort 304 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 6: of thing, and there's not a lot we can do 305 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 6: at this point, but if people have that problem, we 306 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 6: have an upgrade solution on future storms. And the other 307 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 6: thing to be aware of is if you think tree 308 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 6: limbs have landed on the roof. Sometimes they just land 309 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 6: on the roof and don't do anything, but they could 310 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 6: poke a hole in the roof and that would be 311 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 6: something we need to take care of. 312 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: For ed Is is there a website and maybe can 313 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: you share your phone number of people that are listening 314 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: want to reach out to you. 315 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 6: Sure, it's ed Hill with Master Routing and you can 316 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 6: call me directly on my cell phone at nine zero 317 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 6: one two seven three six five nine four.

So great? 374 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 7: I saw something on the internet last night that I 375 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 7: had given no fault to you in the past. It's 376 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 7: about pipes and washing machines. If you have a washing 377 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 7: machine hooked up to pipes that are up against a 378 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 7: wall that's an X to be an xterior wall of 379 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 7: the house, you need to be sure that wall is 380 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 7: getting heat to it so those pipes don't get pros 381 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 7: and go onto the washing machine. Commonly, you always here 382 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 7: to leave a policy stripping and everything. Considera but if 383 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 7: you don't use your washing machine that often potentially have 384 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 7: those punch frees behind the wall that may be exposed 385 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 7: to you know, of course that outside cold. 386 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: Tips, John, I don't think folks would have actually thought about, 387 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, their washing machine. That is really terrific advice. 388 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: And we're going to ask Art. We've got a plumbing 389 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: expert coming up, Gary Wilkes at Airmark. He's coming up 390 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: in just a few moments and we'll ask him about 391 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: that as well. I will say this, John, when I 392 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: bought the Kwan building, they had an unfinished third floor, 393 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: and we had no idea they had actually installed a 394 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: shower up there. There's literally nothing on the third floor. 395 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about it until I got a 396 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: call from the fire department telling me that we had 397 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: a by a pipe burst and it flooded the entire 398 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: And I don't want to wish that on anybody. 399 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 7: No, certainly not another thing that you may not realize too. 400 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 7: You know the bosses we have on the outside of 401 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 7: our house. A lot of times we'll put up a 402 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 7: bookshelf on that same wall, and again the heat is 403 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 7: kept away from that particular wall because of a bookshelf. 404 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 7: And I fell victim to that and came home to 405 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 7: a soaking house. We got got new floors, got new carpeting, 406 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 7: and got a wall replaced because of it. 407 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: Wow, well that is that is not a good thing. 408 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: So that's a great advice. How's traffic out there this morning? 409 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 7: It's light, it's been freeze, you know, it is surprisingly 410 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 7: light and uh, but you know what give us Let's 411 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 7: give you a gut out to the highway patrol that 412 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 7: have been out here and forcing traffic flaws and stuff. 413 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 7: You know, you've seen a decrease of a lot of 414 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 7: the craziness has gone on, and therefore it's cut it 415 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 7: down on the number of accidents. And so I mean, 416 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 7: just again a shout out to you know, THCHPN and 417 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 7: Missus Police Department for slowly traffic down, which we we 418 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 7: really need. 419 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting there's a report yesterday that came 420 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: out THCHP is here to stay.

They're dropping it 425 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: down to at least sixty five miles an hour, So 426 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: we're almighty grateful for that.

So Joey, what's going to happen? 485 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 9: Everything is still in play. There have been no major 486 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 9: changes that I've seen. And the interesting part about this 487 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 9: tide is that it looks like the mids out is 488 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 9: going to see a little bit of all three types 489 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 9: of the famous wintry mix. Snow looks like it's going 490 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 9: to start coming in around I would say five to 491 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 9: six o'clock tomorrow morning, So Saturday morning is when this 492 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 9: all begins to start. In North Mississippi, you still have 493 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 9: the biggest threat from freezing rain. You go north of Memphis, 494 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 9: you get up close towards the Missouri Boothill, they're looking 495 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 9: at some probably five plus inches of snow, some dramatic totals. 496 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 9: But again in that Memphis corridor, all three are going 497 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 9: to be in play. I think the snow begins to 498 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 9: arrive first. The timing now looks like the freezing rain 499 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 9: is going to arrive later on Saturday, which will probably 500 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 9: mean Sunday morning will be extremely tricky on the roads, 501 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 9: and then Monday morning, Tuesday morning tid This is the 502 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 9: critical part. You may have already seen this. The lows 503 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 9: are expected to be near zero, and that's without a 504 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 9: windshill factored in, so we've still got a monster amount 505 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 9: of moisture headed our way. It's going to get very 506 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 9: windy today. That's going to be the cold for a 507 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 9: kicking in, and then those numbers are going to drop. 508 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 9: I think the high tomorrow is like twenty two. 509 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, these numbers are really frightening when you look at 510 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: what the high Monday eighteen degrees, the low Monday night 511 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: hovering around zero, as you said, and it's only going 512 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: to get up to about thirty two on Tuesday. I 513 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: don't see us above freezing. At least that they provide 514 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: the seven day through Thursday where the high drops. The 515 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: high is going to be dropping down to twenty five degrees. 516 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: So whatever sticks probably is going to stick around for 517 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: a few days. 518 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, there's going to be a lot of tune in 519 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 9: I would imagine Sunday to see what areas have been 520 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 9: impacted the hardest, because that's really the aftermath is, And 521 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 9: the important thing is the aftermath is with boots on 522 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 9: the ground getting some words about, Okay, who's hit the hardest? Where? 523 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 9: You know, because once you get out of Memphis, you're 524 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 9: talking about a lot of rural roads, a lot of trees, 525 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 9: a lot of lines, and so it just becomes sort 526 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 9: of this giant, massive confusion. But the important thing I 527 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 9: think right now is that everybody just continues to think, Okay, 528 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 9: if I lose power and it's cold, what am I 529 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 9: going to. 530 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 7: Do to me? 531 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 9: That's the biggest threat, being stuck and being cold, and 532 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 9: just wanting everybody to kind of have a plan in place. 533 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: I think that's a it's a great idea, because you 534 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: don't there's no way you're going to be able to 535 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: drive on ice. 536 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 4: I don't. 537 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's it doesn't matter how great of a driver, 538 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: you just can't do it. So you're going to be 539 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: stuck wherever you are. And again, Joey, as far as 540 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 1: the timeline, we're looking at the bulk of this coming in. 541 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: You're in the overnight and early Saturday morning. 542 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 9: It really I think it starts more early Saturday, and 543 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 9: it's going to play out as people are getting up 544 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 9: and going about their Saturday. You're going to see all 545 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 9: the different pre sip types starting to fall, and I 546 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 9: think it'll be a little bit of everything. And so 547 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 9: we're going to watch this unfold primarily during the day Saturday. 548 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: And again, real quick, Joey, I know you're super slammed 549 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: and we appreciate you joining us here. It seems as 550 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: though the ice and now the National Weather Service and 551 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: their latest update saying that we could have as much 552 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: as a half an inch of ice accumulation. 553 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 9: You know, I think I talked about this here first 554 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 9: a couple of days ago that that was My major 555 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 9: concern was the freezing rain component, and those numbers are 556 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 9: still up there. In fact, the numbers i've seen are 557 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 9: over a half inch, and once you get to a 558 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 9: half inch of ice or higher, that's really the danger 559 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 9: zone for everybody. And so to me, that's going to 560 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 9: be the most critical component of this is who sees 561 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 9: that freezing rain. Because snow you eventually can drive through 562 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 9: it gets compacted, salt and sand on the roads will 563 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 9: help knock that down. But freezing rain is a different 564 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 9: issue because it's nine times heavier than snow. It gets 565 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 9: on these power lines, and all of a sudden you're 566 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 9: dealing with freezing cold and no electricity. So I'm still 567 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 9: concerned about the freezing rain component. I'll be honest, I 568 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 9: would be thrilled if the freezing rain component just was 569 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 9: a bust and we always saw with some snow, you know, 570 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 9: that would be great. But I need everybody to just 571 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 9: kind of have an awareness that that's still in the 572 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 9: in play and in the mix. 573 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: All right, Joey, we appreciate the great info. Are you 574 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: going to be doing regular updates today or do you 575 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: just tell people ahead over to your social media? 576 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 9: Yeah? I really try to update when I can. You know, 577 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 9: It's like I said, it's something I try to fit 578 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 9: into my normal day. So if they want an update, 579 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 9: if they go to my page, I do try to 580 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 9: give any fresh information. But at this point I think, 581 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 9: I think you guys have done a great job of 582 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 9: getting the message out and tomorrow is just buckle in 583 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 9: and see what lands. 584 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, Joey, great stuff, Joey Sellipeck, and Joey, 585 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: thank you for what you're doing.

We've got to take 594 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: a quick break here, folks. Coming up, we've got Gary Wilkes, 595 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: plumber at air Mark.

A lot of people panting. They're like, 604 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: they're not tearing down the No, they're not tearing down 605 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: the Piccadilly. Piccadilly is fine. They're building it next to 606 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: the Piccadilly. So there you go.

All right, 609 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six 610 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: hour telephone number. Let's go to the phones, Mike and 611 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: memphiz Mike, what's going on this morning? 612 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 10: Hey, greeting Scott. I just wanted to do a briefing 613 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 10: for a lot of people down here like me. But 614 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 10: have you know never lived up north. I've spent a 615 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 10: lot of time up north and in it's very cold way. 616 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 10: You need to realize when the power goes down, your 617 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 10: cell towers have back up for about twenty four hours. 618 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 10: So if you're out there on the road and you 619 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,719 Speaker 10: break down and it's your degrees outside, you're not going 620 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 10: to be able to call anybody one's cell phone services down. 621 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 10: So if you're not able to walk five miles to 622 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 10: the nearest home, if you're in a wool eerie, guess 623 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 10: what you need to have about twelve inches of blankets. 624 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 10: This is survival mode. This is what they do up 625 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 10: in northern Canada. Everybody's got about literally twelve inches thick, 626 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 10: and you get up underneath that and you stay where 627 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 10: you're at and someone will come find you. Because if 628 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 10: you get out on the road and you're not prepared 629 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 10: walking that distance and that cold, it's really tough. 630 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: That's actually really great advice, Mike. And again people, you know, 631 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: when you look at the winter season, especially, so many 632 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: people have medical issues and especially heart attacks. And one 633 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: of the reasons why is you don't realize how much 634 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: how much energy and effort your body is exerting, you know, 635 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: walking through snow, you know, walking on the ice and 636 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: things of that nature. For example, you know, if you're 637 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: shoveling snow, you've got to really pace yourself. And one 638 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: of the things that people don't think about, and that's 639 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: where most of the people have heart attacks, by the way, 640 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: is literally in the riveway of their home. You're trying 641 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: to shovel. What you need to do is pace yourself 642 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: only shovel in intervals for about ten or fifteen minutes, 643 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: and make sure that you actually warm up, do some 644 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: warm up exercises before you get out there and shovel 645 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: so you've got and also stay hydrated, which is a 646 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 1: big problem in this weather as well. Mike, this is great, 647 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: great advice. Are you all ready for Are you ready 648 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: for the big storm? 649 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 3: Oh? 650 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, I was helping a friend yesterday standing in line 651 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 10: at the Harbor Free yesterday for three or four hours 652 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 10: to get his generator, which he waited till the last minute, 653 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 10: and then about thirty minutes before they were supposed to 654 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 10: get the generators, the flood of people come in thinking 655 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 10: they're going to get a generator thirty minutes prior to 656 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 10: the drop time of the truck. So yeah, here's what 657 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 10: you do. If you got a generator, all you need 658 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 10: is a power corps. Most people have gas fired furnaces. 659 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 10: Just run a cord to your neighbor's house. Just to 660 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 10: run the furnace only. So with about a eight thousand 661 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 10: and what generator you can power five homes.

Of Course, the power situation is very difficult 691 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: for radio stations, so if the power goes out, we're 692 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 1: going to switch to our digital platform, so we're going 693 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: to do our very best to get the information to you. 694 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: Of Course, our towers are over in Arkansas, directly across 695 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: the river, and ice is not friendly to radio towers, 696 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: so we're really going to be paying close attention to 697 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: our towers as well as we move through the next 698 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: well seventy two hours or so.

And again MLGW announcing 706 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: that we are expecting prolonged power outages, so you're look, 707 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: they're going to be out there trying to get this, 708 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: you know, get the lines back up. But the reality is, 709 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: if we get as much ice as they say, we're 710 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: going to get some of those lines and possibly many 711 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: of those lines are going to come are going to 712 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: come crashing down.
