0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Has calmed down, Rema and Selena Gomez on this Monday morning.

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, you really realize, and you know we play

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a part in this in our sister stations as well.

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You really realize when the weather is happening or these

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>natural disasters, when Mother Nature is upset, that you rely

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>on your local radio stations, your local TV stations, and

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 1>KTLA is kt LA. I mean, this is what KTLA does,

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>NonStop coverage of things that are happening in southern California.

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Mark Chrisky, whom I have known, Mark, how long have

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>we known each other? Would you think.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Twenty years at least? I think.

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Remember we used to go out and hang with Foxy.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>We'd have some yes when we see Chrisky had to

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>work early, as he has done for thirty plus years,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>and we would go to dinner at four o'clock.

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't that fun. We'd be going to dinner when the

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.639
<v Speaker 2>early Bird specials are coming out. We'd be walking in.

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly that day up late. One time you invited

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>me and my wife to Chris Isaac's concert.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that was great, Yes, I remember, well, listen, I

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>congratulate you on just all of the many wonderful years

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>there at KTLA and the service you provide. Because when

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.199
<v Speaker 1>we're in a situation like this, what were the words

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you've been using to describe the uniqueness of the earthquake

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and the storm.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, put it this way. First of all, let's

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 2>even go back to our blizzard warnings of the winter.

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 2>If you had blizzard warnings, tropical storm and earthquake on

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>your bingo car, you should just go out and buy

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of tickets right now, because that was amazing.

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I was standing in the in the living room and

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>it was coming down. I was I was actually staring

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>out the window in an amazement of just how heavy

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it was. And all of a sudden, my wife goes,

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the house is moving. I said, no, it's not, it's

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>just an optical And all of a sudden I said that, no,

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the house is moving. Wow. Incredibly incredible. And we always

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>still laugh and say that when it gets really hot

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and dry, we go, oh, this is earthquake weather. No,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>it was rainy, and it was it was warm.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing to see what we're doing here. So specific questions, Mark,

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>this is your expertise, Mark Chrisky from KTLA. Is this

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the new normal. Are we going to have a tropical

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>storm season this time of year going forward?

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>It's I mean, you can't deny global warming and things

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>are changing. Is it the new normal? I don't know.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll see some more larger storms heading up. But

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 2>just as you know, people, I think it was two

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>years ago Florida had quite a bit of a hurricanes.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>They had a heavy, heavy season, and then the last

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>year it was, oh, it's going to be bad, It's

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna be bad, and it wasn't really bad last year.

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Now off of Florida, they got three good sized storms

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 2>shaving up off the coast, and any and either one

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>of them could turn into a hurricane. So it's hard

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.119
<v Speaker 2>to tell, but yes, I would say, yes, we will

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 2>see more storms. Will we had a winter like we've

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>never experienced here in cal We will see more weather period. Yes.

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>So we've got all right, we've got the tropical storm

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that's just come through, the earthquake that just hited a

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>five point one. Now what do we need to prepare

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>for just to layer this even more complicatedly with Elmino?

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>That could be interesting. I mean a lot of areas

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>it's so hard to tell way in advance, in the

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>future like that. But a lot of areas, such as

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Palm Springs, they got a total in the twenty four

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to forty eight hours of rain that they go, they

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 2>normally get in a whole year, So you kind of

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>put that into perspective. Anything they get in and above now,

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 2>which they will of course come December, will be above

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>what they normally get in a year. In a year

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>we just got in a day. Yeah, El Nino could

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>be another wet one. But then sometimes when they predicted,

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>originally they were predicting for this last winter to be

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>quite a dry one, and that turned out wrong. So

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>it's really we've got the tools to predict things within

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a twenty four or forty eight hour period, but boy,

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to predict three or four or six months out,

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>that's still not an exact sign.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, Christy, this definitely is job security over there with

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>all this weather, right. I mean you have to tune

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in every morning, every every fifteen or seven minutes to

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>find out what's happening.

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. It used to be. I could tell you right now.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>It used to be morning nothing clear, wait to c

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>yeah the clearest guys. Uh, they're making you work downtown eighties. Yeah,

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>but now they're making me work. I have to pay attention.

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>At this point in my career, I was ready to

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>ride it out.

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you coming on with us, appreciate you being

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>off everybody every morning. It's great to chat with your puth.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Say hi to the game.

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Great. Yeah, I will do a great catch up with

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:44.679
<v Speaker 2>you too, Ryan, take.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Care all right, Mark, bye bye?

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, knowing him a long time.

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm watching video this morning of the cars

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>spinning out. Yeah, that was my gosh. I've seen it

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>on a loop now six times, and I still get

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>chills every time I wait. Suburban starts to spin out

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in the freeway. I don't know who is in it,

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>but you're going too fast. And they pieced them all

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>together from all different it's like camera from different freeways.

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just like and I've seen it now a lot

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this morning. It still freaks me out. I was watching

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that while I was talking to Mark. All right, coming

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>up next, I got five seconds of summer tickets for you.
