INTERVALS. YOU CAN SEE WOW REALLY BRIGHT ONE THERE JUST NOW. BUT YEAH THE WINDS WERE STARTING TO FEEL THEM PICK UP. THE RAIN IS GETTING MORE INTENSE, A LOT HEAVIER. WE’RE SEEING THE TREES AROUND US REALLY SWAYING, WHICH WE WEREN’T SEEING A FEW MINUTES AGO. SO PRETTY SPECTACULAR HOW QUICKLY THIS IS MOVING IN HERE AT THE MOMENT. DEFINITELY HARD FOR I’M ASSUMING YOU CAN’T SEE RIGHT NOW EITHER. WE CERTAINLY CAN’T SEE ALMOST ANYTHING AHEAD, SO HOPEFULLY NOBODY IS OUT HERE ON THE ROADS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS IS THIS IS AN INTENSE AMOUNT OF RAIN AND WIND AND IT’S COMING REALLY QUICKLY. IT WAS IT WAS ALREADY ROUGH BEFORE, BUT IT’S IT’S PRETTY INSANE TO SEE JUST HOW FAST IT GOT SO MUCH WORSE. AND THIS IS JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL NIGHT. YOU MAY THINK YOU’RE OKAY AND IT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE JUST LIKE THAT. SO DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY HOPE EVERYBODY’S INSIDE RIGHT NOW AND SAFE. ACTUALLY WHERE WE’RE POSTED UP RIGHT THIS SECOND IS JUST OUTSIDE THE BUTLER COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES COMMAND POST CENTRE. SO I’M SURE THAT THEY’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS, GETTING READY TO JUMP AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE, BECAUSE WITH WINDS LIKE THIS, I MEAN DOWNED TREES, POWER LINES, I’M ASSUMING WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE PEOPLE POTENTIALLY LOSING POWER HERE SOON WITH WITH THE KIND OF WINDS THAT THAT WE’RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT’S ALMOST CALMING DOWN HERE. BUT NOT NOT QUITE FULLY, BUT A LITTLE BIT LESS SO THAN IT WAS JUST JUST A MOMENT AGO. SO DEFINITELY MOVING VERY, VERY FAST. YEAH, DAISY DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY SEEING THE FRONT OF THAT STORM. THE MAIN SYSTEM KIND OF PUSHING INTO YOUR AREA. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO WHAT WE SEE ACROSS MUCH OF OUR AREA. AS YOU SEE, THE STORM FRONT KIND OF MOVING INTO YOUR AREA WITH THE HEAVY RAIN, YOU’LL LIKELY SEE THOSE STRONG WINDS AS DAISY JUST SAW THERE AND IS STILL SEEING THE INITIAL KIND OF GUST OF WINDS THROUGH THE AREA. AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THOSE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS OUT THERE. WE COULD SEE 60 PLUS MILE AN HOUR WINDS UNDER SOME OF THESE WARNINGS. SO DEFINITELY CAN ROCK AROUND YOUR CAR, SWAY THOSE TREES. ANY WEAKER TREES COULD GET SNAPPED. AND AS DAISY MENTIONED TOO, COULD SEE EVEN SOME POWER FLASHES INTO PARTS OF THESE AREAS. I KNOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE ABOUT A THOUSAND WITHOUT POWER ALREADY UP THERE IN BUTLER COUNTY FROM FROM THE STORM STARTING TO MOVE IN FROM OUR DUKE ENERGY OUTAGE MAP. I THINK WE ALSO HAVE SEAN IN PARTS OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY, I BELIEVE, O
