THE RAINY DAY SHOW BROADCAST
Quincy:
Hi, everyone. I know it’s late and most of you are getting ready to wind down for the night, but the National Hurricane Center just posted the latest advisory for Hurricane Georgianna, and I wanted to share new information with y’all. The storm has been bumped up to a Category 2, and every model across the board confirms a Florida landfall in the next ninety-six hours.
Sebastian:
This is our least favorite part of the job. It’s part of the process, but it doesn’t get easier. This is serious stuff that carries serious consequences, so if you’re tuning in—and I can see a lot of you are—it’s imperative you listen to what Quincy has to say.
Quincy:
As of eight p.m., the governor has declared a state of emergency for forty-five counties, and evacuation orders have begun for the Tampa Bay area. If you are in evacuation zones A, B, and C, please listen to your local officials to find what shelters might be open.
Sebastian:
This far out, we do expect the eye to do some more wobbling to the east and west, but we’re going to see significant damage to the Tampa Bay area. You have the ocean, the bay, and a low-lying coastline. It doesn’t take a scientist to know that when you add all that together with rising water, it’s going to be … I hate to throw this word around so freely, but it’s going to be catastrophic.
Quincy:
We talk a lot about wind with hurricanes because of the sustained gusts, but flooding is our biggest concern. Surge can be the most devastating part of the storm.
Sebastian:
If you’ve ever watched Quincy’s show, you know you’re in good hands. She cares about her viewers, and the information she’s passing along is the most up-to-date data out there. We live in a country where you’re free to make your own decisions, but I hope you’ll listen to her. She’s the best in the industry, and if I had to rely on anyone, it would be her.
