Speaker 1: Has calmed down, Rema and Selena Gomez on this Monday morning.
Speaker 1: You know, you really realize, and you know we play
Speaker 1: a part in this in our sister stations as well.
Speaker 1: You really realize when the weather is happening or these
Speaker 1: natural disasters, when Mother Nature is upset, that you rely
Speaker 1: on your local radio stations, your local TV stations, and
Speaker 1: KTLA is kt LA. I mean, this is what KTLA does,
Speaker 1: NonStop coverage of things that are happening in southern California.
Speaker 1: Mark Chrisky, whom I have known, Mark, how long have
Speaker 1: we known each other? Would you think.
Speaker 2: Twenty years at least? I think.
Speaker 1: Remember we used to go out and hang with Foxy.
Speaker 1: We'd have some yes when we see Chrisky had to
Speaker 1: work early, as he has done for thirty plus years,
Speaker 1: and we would go to dinner at four o'clock.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that fun. We'd be going to dinner when the
Speaker 2: early Bird specials are coming out. We'd be walking in.
Speaker 2: That's exactly that day up late. One time you invited
Speaker 2: me and my wife to Chris Isaac's concert.
Speaker 1: Yes, that was great, Yes, I remember, well, listen, I
Speaker 1: congratulate you on just all of the many wonderful years
Speaker 1: there at KTLA and the service you provide. Because when
Speaker 1: we're in a situation like this, what were the words
Speaker 1: you've been using to describe the uniqueness of the earthquake
Speaker 1: and the storm.
Speaker 2: I mean, put it this way. First of all, let's
Speaker 2: even go back to our blizzard warnings of the winter.
Speaker 2: If you had blizzard warnings, tropical storm and earthquake on
Speaker 2: your bingo car, you should just go out and buy
Speaker 2: a lot of tickets right now, because that was amazing.
Speaker 2: I was standing in the in the living room and
Speaker 2: it was coming down. I was I was actually staring
Speaker 2: out the window in an amazement of just how heavy
Speaker 2: it was. And all of a sudden, my wife goes,
Speaker 2: the house is moving. I said, no, it's not, it's
Speaker 2: just an optical And all of a sudden I said that, no,
Speaker 2: the house is moving. Wow. Incredibly incredible. And we always
Speaker 2: still laugh and say that when it gets really hot
Speaker 2: and dry, we go, oh, this is earthquake weather. No,
Speaker 2: it was rainy, and it was it was warm.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to see what we're doing here. So specific questions, Mark,
Speaker 1: this is your expertise, Mark Chrisky from KTLA. Is this
Speaker 1: the new normal. Are we going to have a tropical
Speaker 1: storm season this time of year going forward?
Speaker 2: It's I mean, you can't deny global warming and things
Speaker 2: are changing. Is it the new normal? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see some more larger storms heading up. But
Speaker 2: just as you know, people, I think it was two
Speaker 2: years ago Florida had quite a bit of a hurricanes.
Speaker 2: They had a heavy, heavy season, and then the last
Speaker 2: year it was, oh, it's going to be bad, It's
Speaker 2: gonna be bad, and it wasn't really bad last year.
Speaker 2: Now off of Florida, they got three good sized storms
Speaker 2: shaving up off the coast, and any and either one
Speaker 2: of them could turn into a hurricane. So it's hard
Speaker 2: to tell, but yes, I would say, yes, we will
Speaker 2: see more storms. Will we had a winter like we've
Speaker 2: never experienced here in cal We will see more weather period. Yes.
Speaker 1: So we've got all right, we've got the tropical storm
Speaker 1: that's just come through, the earthquake that just hited a
Speaker 1: five point one. Now what do we need to prepare
Speaker 1: for just to layer this even more complicatedly with Elmino?
Speaker 2: That could be interesting. I mean a lot of areas
Speaker 2: it's so hard to tell way in advance, in the
Speaker 2: future like that. But a lot of areas, such as
Speaker 2: Palm Springs, they got a total in the twenty four
Speaker 2: to forty eight hours of rain that they go, they
Speaker 2: normally get in a whole year, So you kind of
Speaker 2: put that into perspective. Anything they get in and above now,
Speaker 2: which they will of course come December, will be above
Speaker 2: what they normally get in a year. In a year
Speaker 2: we just got in a day. Yeah, El Nino could
Speaker 2: be another wet one. But then sometimes when they predicted,
Speaker 2: originally they were predicting for this last winter to be
Speaker 2: quite a dry one, and that turned out wrong. So
Speaker 2: it's really we've got the tools to predict things within
Speaker 2: a twenty four or forty eight hour period, but boy,
Speaker 2: trying to predict three or four or six months out,
Speaker 2: that's still not an exact sign.
Speaker 1: Well, Christy, this definitely is job security over there with
Speaker 1: all this weather, right. I mean you have to tune
Speaker 1: in every morning, every every fifteen or seven minutes to
Speaker 1: find out what's happening.
Speaker 2: Exactly. It used to be. I could tell you right now.
Speaker 2: It used to be morning nothing clear, wait to c
Speaker 2: yeah the clearest guys. Uh, they're making you work downtown eighties. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but now they're making me work. I have to pay attention.
Speaker 2: At this point in my career, I was ready to
Speaker 2: ride it out.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on with us, appreciate you being
Speaker 1: off everybody every morning. It's great to chat with your puth.
Speaker 1: Say hi to the game.
Speaker 2: Great. Yeah, I will do a great catch up with
Speaker 2: you too, Ryan, take.
Speaker 1: Care all right, Mark, bye bye?
Speaker 2: Yeah, knowing him a long time.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm watching video this morning of the cars
Speaker 1: spinning out. Yeah, that was my gosh. I've seen it
Speaker 1: on a loop now six times, and I still get
Speaker 1: chills every time I wait. Suburban starts to spin out
Speaker 1: in the freeway. I don't know who is in it,
Speaker 1: but you're going too fast. And they pieced them all
Speaker 1: together from all different it's like camera from different freeways.
Speaker 1: It's just like and I've seen it now a lot
Speaker 1: this morning. It still freaks me out. I was watching
Speaker 1: that while I was talking to Mark. All right, coming
Speaker 1: up next, I got five seconds of summer tickets for you.
