WEBVTT - Monday UPDATE:  Death Toll Rising in Historic Winter Storm 

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks. It is Monday, January twenty sixth, and

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>it has been destructive. It has been devastating, it has

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>been deadly, and it is not done. Welcome to this

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>episode of Amy and TJ hopping on to give you

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>an update on what we are still in the midst of,

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>which is a historic storm that's devastating the country in romes.

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>We have to say, we're recording this pretty early this

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>morning on Monday. This is one you have to The

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>mineralogists got this one right. They've been warning us about

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 1>this thing, and it's pretty much happening exactly how they

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>said it would, which is disastrous.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean twenty three states have declared states of

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>emergency in this country. That is a significant number. That's

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>nearly half the country is in a state of emergency.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 2>And the death toll from this storm is rising. The

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>numbers are all over the place, but from what we

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>can gather this morning, at least a dozen have died

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 2>because of this storm, and more than eight hundred thousand

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>people are without power. We're talking about one hundred and

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>eighty five million Americans impacted by one storm. It's hard

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>to get your head around that. And yes, we've been

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>warned about it. We've been told about it, but sometimes

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 2>we doubt our local forecasters because we think God's not

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be that bad. This one was an all

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>day historic event.

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I hope a lot of you all did heed warnings.

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>We know a lot of governments across the country, state,

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>local communities are shut down for the most part, a

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of schools are closed. A lot of airports even

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>for the most part you could argue, are closed because

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>of cancelations and delays that we have seen. So we

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>want to get you caught up about where things are

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>right now this moment. As we are recording this on

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning, it is going to be a difficult day

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of people. So let's start with that

0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>first of all. Robes. We'll take it in three different segments. Essentially,

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess the devastation with the death toll, what we're

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>seeing with power outages, and also what we're going to

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 1>be looking at with travel coming up. But let's start

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>there with the death toll. It has been steadily going

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>up and by the counts we're seeing now at least

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and we could probably ropes unfortunately, expect this to go up.

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>But approximately a dozen folks have been dead, have been

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>killed in I guess various ways, and frankly in some

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of the ways we unfortunately were used to seeing during

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a storm like this.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>That's true, and we're getting some of the details about

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 2>some of these deaths. We know that three people died

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 2>in Tennessee, two in Louisiana. We know those were two

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>men who both died of hypothermia. Two died in Texas.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Listened to this just north of Dallas. This is just

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>something that's so tragic. The story is this one one

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>sixteen year old boy was driving a jeep Wrangler. He

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>had two sixteen year old girls being pulled in a

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>sled behind the jeep. The sled flew and hit a

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>curb and then a tree. One girl died, the other

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>girls in critical condition, and then someone else died in

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Tech of hypothermia. Another person died in Kansas. In Massachusetts,

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>a woman died after she and her husband were walking

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 2>in a parking lot and a snow plow truck struck

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>her didn't see her in all of the binding snow

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>and killed her. And then we know that five people

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 2>were found dead here in New York City on Saturday.

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>They are believed to have died from exposure hypothermia to

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>the cold. Some of those deaths aren't confirmed. And we

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>also have a tragic plane crash in Maine where we

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>do not know the status of eight people who took

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>off around eight pm last night in the heart of

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 2>this massive snowstorm. So those numbers are still we don't

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>know if, unfortunately, if those folks will be added to

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>the death soull.

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And travel is impossible. It is virtually impossible in many

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>areas of the country. And part of this is going

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>to be a problem folks. As we sit here in

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>New York. It is what Monday morning, we are not

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>predicted to hit a temperature above thirty two above freezing

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>until next Whinda at the earliest. So we have a

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>pile of snow and ice sitting as layers on these

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>roads that don't have a chance of melting for another

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>week and a half. That is going to be an

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>issue in many places across the country. You all please

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>heat these warnings, Please listen to folks. I know some

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>folks just have to get out robes, but it is

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>slick and it is going to be an invisible sheet

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of ice in many places. From Texas to the Carolinas

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>today and in days ahead.

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, I mean, and look, some places are more adjusted

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>or know how to deal with cold like this, with

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>ice like this, with snow like this. But so many

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>parts of the country, so many of you listening, this

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 2>is an anomaly. This just doesn't happen, and it certainly

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>hasn't happened in a very long time. And so many

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>folks are dealing with power outages. You just talked about

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>that extreme cold. Now imagine you don't have heat, you

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 2>don't have a generator, you don't have a way of

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>making your homewarm. I know there are warming centers across

0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the country, but eight one hundred and twenty thousand customers

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>are without power this morning. That is significant. And Tennessee

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.559
<v Speaker 2>really got hit hard. At least two hundred and fifty

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>three thousand customers are without power there. Nashville said they

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 2>have not seen an ice storm like this in three decades.

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the magnitude of this storm.

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So this is going to be obviously an issue because

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>those numbers might go up. The outages. Oftentimes we see

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>them at the beginning, initially at the start of a storm,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and then numbers start to improve. But this is a

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>situation where you have ice continuing to build up in places,

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>so you could still have power lines coming down, You

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>still could have tree limbs coming down on those power lines,

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and so on and so forth. Tennessee and Mississippi are

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>two states at least that are looking at nearly ten

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>percent of those states are dark do not have power

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>right now. That is a significant issue given the temperatures

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that are not rising. Speaking of those temperatures, speaking of

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the precipitation, We've got some places in the country that's

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 1>all thirty inches plus of snow, and then you have

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>some places in the country that saw forty below in

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>wind chills. So we're talking about yes, it's cold, this

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>is not cold. This is dangerous, downright dangerous in many places.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you mentioned the thirty inches of Bonito Lake,

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>New Mexico. I think right now, according to the National

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Weather Service had the most snow from this storm thirty

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>one inches. That's just even hard to get your head around.

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 2>And if you had anywhere to be. We're talking about

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the roads obviously a major major issue, but so were

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the airport's air travel Sunday they said will be considered

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>one of the biggest weather related flight cancelation days in

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 2>US history. That is the impact of this storm. US

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>flight cancelations actually hit the highest level since the pandemic

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 2>March thirtieth. They're going back to. Of course, that was

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>the day where we found out what was happening in

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>this country or in around the world, and all those

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 2>flights got canceled. That was twelve one hundred and forty

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>three flights canceled on day March thirtieth, twenty twenty. Yesterday

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>eleven thousand and five ninety eight. We were close, and that

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>is significant. More than thirty five hundred flight delays or

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, cancelations are expected today and that doesn't even

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 2>take into account the delays. So if you're trying to

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 2>get somewhere today, probably best in airlines have certainly set

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>up situations where you can go online, you can rebook

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>your flight, and they are they are waving fees because

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>this is an absolute mess. Obviously, with yesterday, with all

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>of those cancelations, it's going to take days for airports

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>to get back to where they were supposed to be.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.239
<v Speaker 2>And school districts, well, mom and dads, you all already

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of your kids are not going to

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.679
<v Speaker 2>school today. But I know TJ. Sabine was pretty upset

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 2>because even though she's not going to school today, she's

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>still learning today.

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a different lot than the school district like

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>New York. Of course they have so many other days,

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>other holidays. Is at the very diverse city, so they

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>cannot afford to take days off. You gotta get kids

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>in certain numbers parents to cross the country. No, so yes,

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>they there are no snow days. There are just days

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you don't go physically into your building. The rest of

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>them are remote remote learning days, which of course we

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>got something out of the pandemic. We don't have to

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>have it canceled snow days essentially for kids across the country.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 2>They now know how to do this via zoom. You

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>could see Sabine or we could hear Sabine's disappointment when

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>she was like, wait, what we have to do zoom?

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 2>But that is what a lot of kids. They can

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>still probably take some time off maybe and get into

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the snow and have some fun, but it is so

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>cold out there. It is tough. And speaking of man,

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 2>this hitting close to home when we're talking about where

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 2>some of this snow hit Arkansas. That was a big

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>news maker over the weekend, your home state. Twelve inches

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 2>of snow in some parts of Arkansas, ten inches in

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>North Little Rock. But they had a situation with a

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>dock where heavy snow came crashing down on these houseboats.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 2>A whole doc people had to be rescued. This is

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>again a part of the country that just isn't used

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 2>to see. How much snow did you see when you

0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>were living in Arkansas?

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean I can't remember. I don't have any

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>childhood memories of snow. But no, I grew up in

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the Memphis area, and yeah, we don't get snow. We

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>don't do this. I didn't know that snow boots were necessary.

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea about this stuff until I'm moving

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to New York. Really, so it is it's that factors

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>in as well, with people not know exactly how to

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>deal with it, with cities not necessarily being prepared for

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>something this large. No fault of theirs, but historically, why

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>do I need to get this many snow trucks? We

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.719
<v Speaker 1>only have one big snow every twenty five years. We

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>understand that, but now we need the trucks. Yeah, and

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cities are dealing with that. But stay here, folks.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>We will give you the very latest and the update

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>on what's happening right now with flights across the country.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Stay here, all right, folks, will continue here on this Monday,

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>January twenty six. Just wanted to hop on and give

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you the very latest on what's happening across the country

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>with this storm that has been devastating and it is

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>now deadly. At least about a dozen attributed to this snowstorm, snowstorm,

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>ice storm, severe cold storm, whatever you want to call it,

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's hitting right now. It continues to have an

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>impact across the country and particularly the south. But really,

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you can draw a line from almost New Mexico all

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the way to North Carolina with a fat crayon, make

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it pink, and draw from New Mexico to North Carolina,

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's really the chunk of the country that is

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>just continuing to be devastated right now. Robes, I think

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>most people are resigned to the idea that you're not

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>traveling right now. Yeah, I guess some people you absolutely

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>have to get somewhere, but most people are You have

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to understand it's.

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Not happening, No and yes, because if you have delays

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 2>like we saw yesterday at the airport, now you're trying

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 2>to get out somewhere today and there were already, as

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned, thousands of cancelations, delays stacking up, piling up.

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 2>This thing isn't going to get back to normal in

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>terms of air travel, at least for several days. So yes,

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 2>people will have to be understand of the situation at

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>hand with all of the weather delays that continue as far.

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.559
<v Speaker 1>As this morning goes. We're giving you this real time again,

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>as of this recording of this morning, we're already seeing

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.559
<v Speaker 1>about four thousand delays in the country. Again, this is

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>coming to us from Flight Aware at this point. Don't

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>have to explain what that is. Most people who travel

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>are aware of that by now, but they are giving

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>real time updates about what's happening in the worst right now.

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>The airport's being impact as far as cancelation goes. Boston, JFK, Newark, LaGuardia, Reagan, National, Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville, Philadelphia, Washington.

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You get the point here. These are all the cities

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>on the East Coast right now, but Boston sixty percent

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of flights this morning so far have been canceled.

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that I mean that is significant. You know what,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 2>actually what headlines stood out to me. This may sound trivial,

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.719
<v Speaker 2>but certainly if you're a New Yorker, you understand how

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>important our delivery systems are here, especially in a snowstorm

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 2>like this. It got so bad that DoorDash suspended all

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 2>operations yesterday until today. You know that's a big deal

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 2>because New Yorkers who don't want to get out, We

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>rely on our folks who get out there and bring

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>things when stuff is tough to get around, or at

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>least the weather makes it tough to get around. I've

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>never seen door Dash suspend deliveries here in New York City,

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>at least in recent history. I haven't seen that. That

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 2>was a sign of the severity of the storm. At

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 2>least here in New York City. That was significant. But

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 2>we've got some of the highest no totals, just out

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 2>of curiosity who got pounded the most. I mentioned those

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 2>thirty one inches in New Mexico, Crested Butte, Colorado twenty

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 2>three inches, but New City, New York seventeen point six inches,

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Connecticut eighteen inches, New Jersey seventeen inches. So that fell

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 2>in line with what forecasters were suggesting. But again, we

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.839
<v Speaker 2>have not seen snow like this in five years here

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 2>in the Northeast, and for some folks during this weather,

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>this is the most snow they've ever seen in their lives.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 2>And you mentioned, babe, what comes next now is this

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 2>cold weather. Millions of folks now are going to be

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>ten to forty degrees below average for the many, many

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>days to come, and that is dangerous. Of course. So

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>many of the deaths we've talked about already from this

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>storm came from exposure, came from cold weather. So when

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you've got wind chills minus twenty, minus thirty, that is significant.

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.959
<v Speaker 2>And I was looking to see the National Weather Service

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>put it like this. They said, from Montana to the

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Florida Panhandle, there are cold weather advisories and extreme cold

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>warnings for all of those folks in that path. And

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I know it's January, but still this is dangerous cold.

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>And just wanted to jump on and let everyone know that, yes,

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>we are maybe through the worst of the precipitation right now,

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 2>but we've got a lot of that dangerous weather behind it,

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>with wind chills and cold weather. So please everyone stay put.

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>If You can bundle up, of course, and we will

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>be monitoring this situation and bring you any new developments,

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>but as always, we appreciate you listening to us. Everyone,

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ami Robot alongside the
