And now, Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano.

Today is Thursday. It is August 8th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. The storm that hit our area left damage in many places.

Delaware County was

said to have been hit pretty hard. I was going to ask Casey about it, but he's not here.

The National Weather Service said that a tornado briefly touched down in New Jersey on Wednesday

afternoon. The EF Zero tornado touchdown in Springfield, New Jersey at 2.47 p.m. and was on the

ground for four minutes. The National Weather Service estimates the tornado's wind speed was about 70 miles per hour. Storm and flood warnings were in effect at the time of the touchdown. Lightning, hail, strong winds, and even an isolated tornado were all said to be possible from the storms hitting the tri-state area. Yeah, I had to drive down Route 30. I was talking to see you a little about this last night. And it was a drive that would normally take me 10, 15 minutes,

and it ended up being about an hour and 15 minutes because the flooding was so bad,

then traffic was so bad. And then the girl that had the headphones in that cut me off in traffic, who was driving the jetta, she sucked. Yeah, well, you need to keep your headphones on

when there's a torrential downpour.

For once, this severe weather

that came through the area did not touch anywhere near me.

Just kidding.

We're almost always a magnet where I live for when the severe storms come through. So you got nothing. Nothing. You didn't get rain? I mean, like, just a light sprinkle. And that's it. And I was surprised because I was getting the warnings on my phone and everything.

And I was like, all right, let's get ready for it. And nothing ever happened. So we got pounded. Like so it would hit, ease up. Sun would break out for about 10 seconds. Get cloudy, dark again, pound. And that happened about five, six times. No kid. Yeah. So, and then Preston. And so we had a, like, you know, these pop-up tents that you come out when you come out to an event.

The M.R. No kid. Yeah. So, and then Preston, so we had a, like, you know, these pop-up

tents that you come out, when you come out to an event, the M.R. tent has popped up. That's over our table on the back. And normally it would have blown away in those super gusty winds, but there was about 50 gallons of water on it because we forgot to pull it down. We forgot to break it down. We must have been like in the middle because we definitely got like, you know, we heard the thunderlight.

We were at the pool.

They closed the pool down.

Everybody had. We forgot to break it down. We must have been like in the middle because we definitely got like, you know, we heard the thunderlight.
