Nora White: This is Nora White reporting for station KTFH in Florida. (Pause) The sky is clear blue, and the ocean is deceptively calm here in Pitsea Beach in Southern Florida. It’s the kind of day when you would expect the beaches to be packed with tourists, enjoying the surf and sun. But the beaches are eerily silent, except for a few seagulls circling the waves. Traveling inland, though, you’ll find a totally different mood. Parking spaces are hard to find, and there are long lines at every checkout counter as people stock up on batteries, water bottles, and flashlights. You see, despite the calm weather now, the citizens of season. (Pause) With me today in Pitsea Beach is meteorologist Henry Anselma, who will tell us how to prepare for a. hurricane. We’ll also hear what local residents and tourists are doing to prepare for the storm. Henry, can you tell us what to expect?
Henry Anselma: Nora, Hurricane Haley is about 70 miles off the coast of Florida, with winds reported to be up to 100 miles per hour. Already, it has caused considerable damage to islands in the Caribbean. Notices warning residents and visitors to evacuate have been issued in several counties in southern Florida.
NW: So residents are being warned to evacuate. However, most residents are not leaving. They think they’ll be all right. In their experiences, the hurricanes are not as bad as usually predicted. And the radio stations are stressing that people should stay informed and NOT second-guess the authorities. Apparently, despite the sophisticated satellite, reconnaissance aircraft, and radar used by the National Weather Service, forecasting the path of a hurricane is not an easy task. Can you explain, Henry?
HA: We input a lot of data into the computer to get a forecast, but there’s still an element of interpretation that needs to be done. Often the storm will change route or intensity unexpectedly and folks must realize that they can be very, very vulnerable.
NW: Henry, what can people do in advance to be safe?
HA: Stock up on supplies. You should have plenty of water on hand, at least a couple of gallons per person, and more if possible. Don’t forget when sewers back up, and water gets contaminated. You should have enough food to last you at least three days, more if you can do it; for your canned goods, make sure that you’ve got a can opener on hand—manual, not electric. You’ll need a flashlight for a power outage, and a radio—battery-powered to keep informed. Don’t forget any regular medication.
NW: Henry also says that a sturdy pair of work boots should be added to the list. Why is that, Henry?
HA: Yes, when you come back, if your place has been damaged, you don’t want to be walking into dangerous things, including any snakes that might be floating around, dislocated by the hurricane like you’ve been.
NW: We also find that most tourists, ready for a carefree vacation, aren’t prepared to face a hurricane. But if you’re planning to visit a coastal spot during the summer months, you need to plan for the possibility of a hurricane before your trip. How can tourists do this, Henry?
HA: I think the main thing for tourist is to know what plans or provisions the hotel has and what they’re going to do if the power’s out, if the water’s bad. You need to know where you’re going if you have to leave early, because roads get flooded, and highways get backed up with traffic,
NW: Do you need extra money?
HA: Sure. If you’re stuck longer, you’ll need access to additional cash, and you should know how you’re going to get it, even if the ATMs are out of order. Those money machines won’t be working if the power’s gone. You have to know, basically, how to change your plans fast.
HW: Thank you, Henry ... Back in Pitsea Beach, all residents can do is watch, wait, and try not m panic. For Florida KTFH, this is Nora White.
Question No. 19: What is the most probable job of the man?
