We've been dealing with a lot of rain here in Tallahassee. It's been raining all night.
00:03
That's not going to bode well for later today when the hurricane comes through and more rain dumps
00:07
here in the Tallahassee, the Big Bend region. But we are preparing for the hurricane here.
00:12
Folks here are preparing for the hurricane, staying hunkered down. And it's pretty much,
00:16
it's going to be a stay indoors all day type of day with all this rain. And things are only going
00:20
to get worse as the day goes on. Erin, we're seeing some video of some students with their
00:25
rolling luggage, their suitcases. And forgive me if this question's been answered. I'm just
00:29
joining some of our coverage here. But I know as a freshman, I wasn't allowed to have a car on
00:32
campus. Are there transportation options for folks who are trying to get away from campus,
00:38
maybe without vehicles? Yeah, I have been seeing some official FSU vans, vehicles. It looks like
00:47
they are bringing people from the dormitories here to the conference center. I've seen people
00:51
getting out of personal cars as well. So there are options for people to get here. And yeah,
00:55
you're exactly right. People have got their bags, their suitcases packed, expecting multiple days
01:00
possibly having to stay here at this shelter because they're not going to release the students
01:04
here until the all clear is given. And that may be several days as they're trying to clean up the
01:09
roadways here and get things cleared. They've got large pallets of water back behind me here. So
01:13
they are preparing for multiple days of these students being sheltered here on FSU campus.
