1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: All hands on deck this morning one of two point 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: seven Kiss FM. Ryan Seacrest with you, Sisney and Tanya. 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: Good morning, an incredibly unique weekend. 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Tanya, I haven't forgot to come back to you about 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: your vacation because we had some days off. 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 2: It's always fun to get back together and see everybody. 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: We actually didn't. 8 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Group text too much either, which I was surprised about that. 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: You're well, yeah, oh was it you? Are you the 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: one that leads to charge? I feel like I'm always 11 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: the one that There was a moment I was going 12 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: to text, and then I thought about it and I forgot. 13 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: We're going to respect each other's time away from each other. 14 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: But no, once we saw the storm coming, and once 15 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: we saw what this morning was going to look like, 16 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: we were all over talking to each other yesterday and 17 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: even sharing video of the commute this morning. 18 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: But I want to go out right now. 19 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: So we're going Inland Sam Bernardino Mountains, Polishings. I was saying, 20 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: the whole Inland area one of the hardest areas hit. 21 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: One of our colleagues, Blake Trolley, works for one of 22 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: other stations KFI. He grew up back actually in Claremont, 23 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: went to Claremont High School Wolf Pat, I hear you 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: love trying new restaurants, Blake, which was the headline for me. 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: Well, you know what, Ryan, I've actually given up given 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: up on that dream in the last I wrote that 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: bio about two years ago, and I'm kind of solidified 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 3: on my stage. 29 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: Your favorites, You your favorites. 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got my favorite. So you know, at this 31 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 3: point in time, I should probably change that bio. 32 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, that's why we're here to help you out. 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: And on a sunny day, let's talk about some of 34 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: the great food you're having in them. But what what 35 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: is it? Where are you and what are you seeing 36 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: this morning? 37 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: Yeah? Right, so I'm in Redlands, And essentially this portion 38 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: of the Inland Empire out to the Coachella Valley was 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: really where the storm hit the hardest. Essentially, the east 40 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: part of this storm was supposed to hit the hardest. 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: I asked the National Weather Service why the east part 42 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: of the storm hits the hardest, and they gave me 43 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: an answer that's way too scientific for me to repeat 44 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: to your listeners without them tuning out. But the lower 45 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: portion of the IE only got about two inches of rain. 46 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: The mountain communities got hit a lot harder. Lake Arrowhead 47 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: got eight inches of rain in a short period of time, 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: Big Bear got about four inches, Right Wood got about six. 49 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: Now later this morning, officials are expected to know more 50 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: about the impacts of the damage. But as of now, 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 3: there are at least three mudslides in the mountains out here. 52 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: Two of those were in burn scar areas. Now. The 53 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: reason burn scars become a concern for mudslides is that 54 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: when vegetation gets fried up dies off, the root systems 55 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: die off, and there's really nothing to absorb all that water. 56 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: So when you think about all this water going in, 57 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 3: it's just going into sand essentially. In the mountains above 58 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: Ukaipa and Banning, there's two big burn scars from recent wildfires. 59 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 3: On a short period of time, those burn scars each 60 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: got about a foot of rain and that caused a 61 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: couple of massive mud slides. News crews in one of 62 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: the areas got stranded. They're up in the mountains reporting 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 3: from the area. The mudd debris came rivering down, their 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 3: car got moved. They were I saw cars. 65 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: I think I saw cars floating. You see, Yeah, I 66 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: saw that one too. 67 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: So the cars that you guys saw floating were in 68 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: the Coachella Valley, and that was another area that got 69 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: hit extremely hard. Now, the Coachella Valley actually got hit 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: harder than the Eastern Inland Empire. Both these areas were 71 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: kind of sharing the eye of the or not the eye, 72 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: but the major portion of the storm, if you will. 73 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: The Coachella Valley got short, sporadic thunderstorms, but there are 74 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: no route systems out there at all, so the whole 75 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: area only got like two to four inches of rain, 76 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: but quickly that just became flooding in the streets out there. 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: Golf courses got flooded, in a hospital got flooded, and 78 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: that's where you saw those videos of those cars floating. 79 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: The streets look like rivers out there, all from about 80 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: two to four inches of rain. I was told this 81 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: morning portions of the ten are still closed just because 82 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: there's water rivering over debree out on the roadway. So yeah, 83 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: Palm Springs was majorly impacted, I was told. Out so 84 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: far out there, there are three rescues that crews have 85 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: had to complete, no death so far, so there is that, 86 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: you know, positive note on that, but nonetheless it's been 87 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: a major response for teams out there. 88 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: Blake Charley with us who works at KFI. He's from 89 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: the Inland Empire, so knows the area well. And you know, 90 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: I was saying that we though in southern California, we 91 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: handle a lot of natural disasters, and we handle things 92 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: all the time, and those who keep us safe and 93 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: keep us aware and keep us informed do such a 94 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: great job too, working around the clock.
