This is doctor Wendy Walsh and you're listening to KFI AM six forty, the
Doctor Wendy wallsh Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM six forty.
You have Doctor Wendy Walsh with you. This is the Doctor Wendy Walls Show.
Here at KFI. We are keeping a close watch on the storm.
I just received an emergency alert on my phone. Maybe you did. Where
you are. National Weather Service says a flash flood warning is in effect in
this area until midnight, and that this storm is dangerous and life threatening.
They warn do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to
flooding or under an evacuation order. So they also give some advice for all
of us to pay attention to. If you do encounter a flooded road,
don't try to drive through it. You're unable to see how deep it is.
Turn around. This is not a time for you to risk a drowning.
Okay, believe it or not. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
I want you to be especially cautious when driving at night. It is very
difficult to recognize the dangers of flooding in the darkness. Always be aware of
your surroundings. Do not drive on flooded roads. Also, the National Weather
Service is warning people that there may be debris flowing, and it can happen
instantly, it can be imminent and occur regularly, and that residents should take
immediately precautions to protect themselves. In fact, we have a listener on the
line right now who wants to talk about some of the debris that can show
up on our roads. Hi, Mary, it's doctor Wendy. Yeah,
doctor Wendy. I don't know who has control over the gardeners, but they
blow all of that billows of steff on into the street, and then the
street cleaners come like once a week, and there's and they only pick up
a minisial a little bit of this stuff and it blows on into the storm
drains and they never get cleaned out, and so the street down below is
like a river. Mary, that's a really good point. I think it's
very important that our storm drain system continue to function. So I can't absolutely
I don't know why they don't have like a lone piece on something around us
to keep all of those leaves, because we're up blump on the slope and
that stuff just blows down constantly. The street cleaners only come down once a
week. Yeah, that's hard to thank you Mary for calling. That's a
really good point. You know. Back when I was a news reporter at
UPN, I did a drive along into our storm drain system here through La
County, and I was amazed at and we had like people with walkie talkies
one mile down and one mile the other way, because flash floods can happen
at any time in those storm drains. They're big enough to drive a truck
through, of course, and we saw so much stuff that should not ever
go in a storm drain, from used a dipe to dead animals. I
am not joking the stuff we saw. And that was the beginning of the
county starting to install those greats Mary was talking about, there must be something
that can stop the leaves and debris from going into the storm drains. And
if you notice, many of them in recent years now have grates on them
to keep the large items from clogging and going in. But that doesn't stop
an accumulation of smaller debris, whether it is landscaping material. And this is
how sometimes flooding can happen. In the street. If you're driving in a
low lying area, you want to be particularly cautious because when you come upon
what looks like a puddle, before you know it, it's two feet or
three feet deep, and your car has stalled, and a flash flood can
happen eminently. Reminder to everybody, we are experiencing a state of emergency here
in Los Angeles County, and we have in California a record number of first
responders who have been deployed. If you are experiencing an emergency, call nine
one one, but do not call nine one one if it is not a
full emergency because those nine one one operators need to be able to field your
call to the right first responder. Okay. The state of emergency includes Los
Angeles, Orange Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo,
and Ventura Counties. The National Weather Service here our office in Los Angeles,
continues to use very strong language in its forecasts and indicating a significant threat of
widespread and dangerous flash flooding throughout Monday and even into Tuesday, and forecasters have
warned that these flooding issues will not be combined to confined to the usually prone
areas, the foothills, the mountains, the burn areas, et cetera.
We are expecting mudslides, we are expecting flowing debris that Mary was talking about,
right, That's why you must stay home. Please only get on the
freeways if you are leaving a f blood zone and have to evacuate. Remember,
certain people have to evacuate, so you need to leave the freeways free
for them, not only to be able to get out of unsafe zones,
but also for the first responders to reach people who are in need. A
reminder, we are experiencing an emergency here in southern California. These are record
numbers of rainfall. Here's an example. An average January gets about three inches
of rain cumulative across the whole month of January. We are seeing an inch
and a half every hour fall on the south Land. That means every two
hours we're experiencing an entire month of January amount of rain. As I mentioned
to Kayla earlier, you know, think of the land as like a dried
up sponge on your kitchen sink. When you first put that sponge under the
water, the first thing that happens is the water rolls off because it's so
arid, it's not porous enough until it softens, right, So this is
why the beginning of these kinds of apps hemispheric rivers mean that you're going to
see more flash flooding. We do know now a new announcement that Caltrans has
just announced that PCH is closed southbound between Warner Avenue and Sepoint Street due to
flooding and heavy rain. LAUSD. However, our Los Angeles Unified School District
says that despite the strong storm, all schools will be open Tomorrow, February
fifth, except one. At this point, we have Vinedale College Preparatory Academy
in Sun Valley. It will remain closed because it happens to be situated in
a mandatory evacuate evacuation loan zone. Sorry. Officials at the National Weather Service
have issued a flash flood warning for La County that goes until midnight. But
I am warning you that these warnings are going to continue to be extended as
we get more information in Here at KFI, we are continuing to monitor the
situation. We are getting calls from various first responders so we can understand what's
going on around the city. If you see something happening in your area,
whether it has to do with thunderstorms, with flash floods, whether it has
to do with mud slides. I want you to call us and tell us
what you see, because you are also our eyes on the Southland. The
number is one eight hundred five two zero one five three four. That's one
eight hundred five two zero one kf I. I just also got this in
that cal State Fullerton, cal State, LA, and Seasun will all be
canceling in person classes for tomorrow, Monday, February fifth. The three schools
will be holding all classes remotely on Monday. I'm going to check my email
when we go to the break, I tea check cal State Channel Islands,
and at this point we basically got an email saying be careful, drive carefully.
We'll see, but I assume that we will get updates as we go
on and as they watch where the weather moves. I love to watch the
trackers right so we can see where it's moving from to check to see what's
happening with cal State Channel Islands. If you happen to be one of my
students who's listening, as far as I know, I'm going to be there
tomorrow morning to teach you. When we come back, We're going to continue
to monitor what's happening with the storm in the Southland. If you have information
for us, give us a call one eight hundred five two zero one.
KFI you are listening to the Doctor Wendy Walls Show on KFI AM six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Doctor Wendy Walsh
on demand from KFI AM six forty. KFI AM six forty, you have
Doctor Wendy Walsh with you. This is the Doctor Wendy Walls Show. No,
you can't go outside. In fact, you're supposed to stay inside.
We are experiencing a state of emergency in Los Angeles County. At seven fifty
six PM a little while ago, a voluntary evacuation warning went into effect.
It has been issued for Orange County residents in Silverado, Williams, Medeska and
Trubak Trabuco Canyon. According to officials, residents living in the evacuation areas are
encouraged to leave early and plan for alternative shelter with friends, family, or
a local hotel that is outside of the evacuation area. This evacuation warning may
stay in effect through tomorrow. We are waiting to see what happens with this
storm. Meteorologists are feeding us information as often as we can, but we
need to know how they move because they can often be very unpredictable. You've
probably been getting emergency warnings on your telephone. Take heed when they say don't
get into your car. They mean it when they say turn around. If
you see a large enough puddle to be a flooding area, you don't know
how deep it is. Take particular caution if you have to drive for emergency
reasons. To drive at home, drive at night, Be very very careful
of flooding. In other news, the Santa Barbara air Port has been closed
due to flooding. All commercial flights in Santa Barbara have been canceled. Also,
the National Weather Service has put out a flash flood warning in Pasadena and
surrounding areas. We're talking about a lot of rain. Normally in the month
of January we get about three inches of rain, that is the average.
Already Ventura County has seen that today or actually by five pm in some areas,
we're seeing an inch and a half every hour. Up in the Sierras.
We are seeing snowfall and expecting anywhere from two to six feet depending on
what the elevations are. It's important that you pay attention to evacuation orders.
They have been issued in parts of Los Angeles County all day today. Ever
since this powerful storm has landed in the Southland. The language is serious,
bringing life threatening flood risks and dangerously high winds to our area. LA officials
have earned residents to stay home, stay off the roads on Sunday and Monday.
I told you before the break, I was going to check with cal
State Channel Island. So far, no emails, no mentions on their website
about whether we're holding classes tomorrow morning. However, there are a number of
emails for my students saying are we meeting in person tomorrow? The answer is
yes at this point, until I get further information. My guess is officials
are going to wait till midnight, because that's when this evacuation order and the
State of Emergency is saying it's going to go till at least midnight, and
then they'll reassess. Right I mentioned evacuation orders. Evacuation orders have been issued
for unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County near those dangerous burn scar areas that includes
Juniper Hills Valguermo areas. I'm so sorry Bobcat. Remember the Bobcat fire area
anywhere around there and following the areas of Lake Hughes and King Canyon from that
lake fire. Remember the lake fire. So, if you have received an
evacuation order, it is very important that you follow that order. Do not
stay in your home, or you will risk having a mud slide. You
will risk the lives of first responders who eventually show up to try to save
you. It is really important that you do what you're told, depending on
where you live. Now, if you're in an area that has not been
evacuated, I caution you not to get in your car, to not hit
the roads in any way. I'm watching video and seeing cars submerged up to
the door handle in some areas around the Southland. So these splash floods are
nothing to trifle with. Did you know when rainstorm happens, the thing that
most often causes death isn't high winds, it's not mud slides, it's not
water spouts that could happen over the Pacific. It is always, almost always
people perishing in their vehicles. Okay, and I'm going to add one other
thing. If you're an adult and you're responsible for a child, do not
put them in a car with you tonight. Keep your kids close. This
is a time for you guys to play some games together and stay home.
Hunker down, light a fire if you have a fireplace, and be cozy
in the rain until it passes. We want to leave our freeways open for
first responders to get to those in need. We want to leave our freeways
open for those who have been evacuated in certain areas. A reminder that at
this point, Los Angeles Unified School District says despite this strong storm, all
schools will be open tomorrow, that's Monday, February fifth, except one,
which is Vinedale College Preparatory Academy in Sun Valley. It will remain closed because
it happens to be in a mandatory evacuation zone. So they're evacuating. But
stay close to because we are going to continue to follow this story. We
are getting all kinds of reports from officials at the city. We'll be able
to give you more information as the flood warning continues to be in effect.
Pay attention to the warnings that might be coming in on your cell phones.
At this point, it's going to go probably. I mean, the evacuation
warnings are there, you've got to follow them. The state of emergency is
happening until at least midnight. If you do need to reach out to nine
to one one, please only do it if you have a legitimate emergency.
Remember, those operators need to vary quickly forward the call to the first responders
that need to get to people. We do know that here in the City
of Los Angeles, maintenance staff is on call to handle emergencies on public right
aways, parks, catch basins, and green issues. So we had a
caller earlier talking about storm drains being filled and street filling up. If you
see this happen to you, you can report an issue twenty four hours a
day, seven days a week. I'm gonna give out the phone number,
Okay, the numbers uh And this actually is in the city of Palmdale where
they're expecting this. You can call six six' one two six seven,
five, three three eight. We do know that if you see a barricade,
I am going to say this over and over and over, this is
not the time to be cute and drive around the barricade. This is the
time to stop and pay attention. Turn around, do not drown. Okay,
if you see a barricade on any road in the Southland, it is
there for a reason. This is not a time to play around in our
flooded areas. There are so many hazards and many of the large pools of
water are not visible to you. If you do have an emergency, report
it by calling nine to one pint one. If you see any downed power
lines, please call nine one one and also notify Southern California Edison. Their
number is eight hundred and six nine one one. We are continuing to monitor
this state of a emergency as we have yet another historic atmosphere eric river here
in the Southland. I'm finding that when we have this amount of rain in
such a short period of time, it obviously has a damper on our moods,
but more than that, it makes it so that many people here in
the Southland have feelings of nervousness about what's going to happen. Right, So
that's why we're here to bring you up to date. We do know that
this is a low pressure area. This atmospheric river It's extended all along the
California coast. Our Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, and
I will say this, unlike our last system, this storm is not in
a hurry to leave right This appmspheric river of moisture that is pommeling California right
now is going to linger for at least three days. Forecasters are estimating already
we have saturated soil, We have more rain than we could ever imagine.
Strong winds continue to knock down trees, knock down power lines. A number
of Californians are without power. Kayla, can you check for me exactly where
the areas are where there are power outages here in California? Do you if
you had been planning today or tomorrow to go to any kind of sporting event
or I mean, I'm hoping all the people attending the Grammys get home safely.
This is not the time to go to your after party, folks.
This is a time to go home. This is a time to go home.
Stay close to the radio, stay close to the news. Right tomorrow,
a level four risk of flooding remains centered right over Los Angeles metro area,
while a level three risk extends just north of La and southward all the
way to San Diego. Okay. So we are talking about a very serious
flash flood warning that is in effect until Tuesday. Okay. It has a
lot of moisture in it. It's a much larger flood threat than southern California
has seen in some time. We may see more than five inches of rain
today alone. If you are in Sierra Nevada, you can expect lots of
snow. Don't cheer yet, you skiers. Wait until we get people through
this safely. So that means they expected two to four feet of snow,
maybe even in higher elevations higher than that, in fact, above five thousand
feet, maybe even six feet of snow. I know the skiers are excited
about this, but can we get everyone safe through this storm. We're talking
about very high winds too. Gus of seventy miles an hour are working their
way down the coast through this evening and in the overnight hours. D Front
Ranch has seen eighty eight mile an hour GUS. Pebble Beach up north saw
sixty five mile an hour GUS Oakland sixty two. So it is no joke
there. A large tree has fallen onto a vehicle on the one oh one
northbound in Santa Rosa up in Santa Rosa up in Sonoma County. Homes have
been damaged. Falling trees have struck cars and houses. And this is what
we may be experiencing here in Los Angeles too. And that's why I caution
you to get out in the sense of get out of your car and get
home safely. This is not something to be trifled with. We are going
to continue to cover this historic storm here on KFI AM six forty. You're
listening to the Doctor Wendy Waalsh Show on KFI AM six forty live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Doctor Wendy Walsh on demand from KFI AM
six forty. KFI AM six forty, you are Doctor Wendy Walsh with you.
This is the to Wendy Walls Show. Evacuation orders were issued in parts
of Los Angeles County today as our powerful storm continues in the Southland, bringing
life threatening flood risks and dangerously high winds to the area. When people drive
on the roads, this is the most dangerous part of these atmospheric rivers.
When people die, they don't die in mud slides. They're not dying from
earthquakes. I mean they might, but they don't. Usually it happens because
they do a bonehead move. They get in their cars and they're moving through
flood zones. Now, I understand that some people have to be on the
road. You know, there are first responders that have to be on the
road. There are people that drive for a living. There are people who
need to get to their jobs. I just caution everybody to be as careful
as possible. We got a couple talkbacks from some of our listeners, I
think one listeners on the fifteen. Right now, I am on the I
fifteen north headed to Vegas because I am working at the Big Game next weekend.
It is not all clear here in the beautiful city of Hysperia on the
I fifteen. It is a big old mess. So just letting y'all know,
big old mess right here on the I fifteen. See all in Vegas
go to Oh yeah. I hope that listener can stay safe. Our thoughts
are with you out there. You know, when I drive a lot,
and I do a lot of driving up the state, up the five,
I have great respect for those driving those eighteen wheelers because they're dealing with the
public who are zipping in around with their motorcycles and cars, and you know
they can't stop easily. Right, So one of our listeners happens to be
one of our long hold drivers. Right now, let's have a listen.
Hey, just a quick little tip if you can, maybe just tell all
the drivers out there to, you know, leave the semi truck drivers alone,
give us space. And me myself. I deliver at night to restaurants,
so I'll be working all night opening the restaurant set myself and getting soaked
like a like a fish. So you guys have a good one. Oh,
I have a little tartar sauce with that. The fish. I know
he's good, the fish. Okay, I wanted him. Oh my gosh.
I'm so sorry for those who have to be working in this, I
mean, think of it. Give me a dad, his kids are at
home and he's out there in the rain delivering all night because he has to
write. Everybody needs to earn a living. But if you don't have to
be on the road, either because you're not being evacuated, or because you
don't have to go to work, or you don't work in radio. Oh,
you know we're going to sleep here tonight, aren't. We can't think,
so, yeah, there's little We can just look at the rain out
the window and just stay here till the morning. I don't think we should
get on that road. I don't want to. I don't want it.
I didn't bring up bathing suits. I guess we are saying you could swim
swim with the fish. You know, sometimes you have to have a little
gallows humor when there's an emergency situation. For years, I was a local
news reporter here in Los Angeles, and if you knew some of the jokes
that we told, but it keeps your brain healthy, all right. So
in case you're living under a rock, let me remind you that Governor Gavin
Newsom has now declared a state of emergency here in California and Los Angeles.
Officials have urged residents to stay home and off the roads on Sunday and Monday.
The state of emergency extends through eight counties in the state, including Los
Angeles County and Orange County. Additionally, there are evacuation warnings. They have
been issued for the unincorporated Los Angeles County areas near burn scars, and so
those include Juniper Hills. Remember the Bobcat fire, Remember the lake fire.
We're talking about Lake Hughes, King Canyon. Those areas have complete evacuation,
and so get off the road, everybody, so that the people being evacuated
can get somewhere safe, so they can go stay in a hotel, go
stay with family or friends in an area where is safe and they're not being
evacuated. The National Weather Service has put out a flash flood warning in Pasadena
and surrounding areas. Santa Barbara Airport has been completely closed due to flooding.
All commercial flights have been canceled. Cal State Fullerton, cal State LA and
Seasun will be canceling all in person classes tomorrow, Monday, February fifth.
However, the three schools will be holding all classes remotely on Monday. I
teach at cal State Channel Islands. We have not gotten any notification that the
school will be closed tomorrow. I assume they're waiting to see what happens by
midnight. So students, if you're listening, please go to the website look
for emails from the school. At this point, I will be there teaching
tomorrow. Let's hope the rain lets up a bit. Officials at the National
Weather Service have issued a flash flood warning four La County that's going to extend
through midnight through the night. This storm is not going to leave early,
folks. This atmospheric river that we're experiencing will be here until at least Tuesday.
We here at KFI our community. If you've got news or information about
something happening in your area to have to do with the storm, give us
a call. That's one eight hundred five two zero one KFI. If you're

the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Doctor Wendy Walsh on demand from KFI AM
six forty. KFI AM six forty, you at Doctor Wendy Walsh with you.
This is the Doctor Wendy Walls Show. We are covering this storm,
this atmospheric river, this powerful storm arrived in southern California Sunday. What time
did it hit you? Where were you? Kayla here? What time the
rain start? When I woke up and came into work at twelve noon at
it was already raining. You just woke up at noon? I was out
so four thirty am miss Grammy's weekend, Doctor Wendy. Oh, oh,
I see okay, yeah, I see? Well did start this afternoon?
For most people. The state of emergency is in effect until at least midnight.
We are warning people to stay off the roads as so that first responders
can get to people who need help. We have a caller. Hi,
It's Dr Wendy. Who do we have? Hi? It's doctor Wendy.
Hello, Hi, who's this? Hey? Robert Horry, Doctor Wendy,
Hi, Robert. Good. It's just I'm so confused on the logic behind
this killer storm. I'm currently working that I get called into chase water.
Oh, because I work for a school district. Oh dear, But you
can't chase water when it's raining. But that's another I always say that you
also cannot get a roofer to come out when it's raining, when there's leaks,
right, That's that's just school district logic. So that's why school districts
are going broke, because they have no logic. People running them at zero
logic. But my question is, so you're telling everybody. I'm just using
you, not you in general. In general, we're telling everybody stay home,
stay home this this is a killer storm and blah blah, we need
first responders to get out. Oh but send your kids to school. Well,
we need people to stay off the roads now while it's raining hard so
the first responders can get out there. Kayla, can you look for a
message that just came in from cal State Channel Islands and so that's what we're
saying. You know, they're going to reassess when the state of emergency,
you know, it's in effect until at least midnight, and then they're going
to reassess and then they're going to make these decisions. I did just get
an alert from cal State Channel Islands saying that there is an update. So's
the alert is. Go read the email. I love that, But anyway,
stay safe out there. And I'm sorry you're mopping up water? Is
it on a school campus? You're out there mopping up water as it's coming
down. I'm so sorry, district. Are they Are they at least paying
your time and a half or something. Oh, I don't do nothing for
free. Oh good, that's my man. I like you. Well,
try to stay dry as best you can out there, and thank you so
much for calling in. And that is what I'm telling people. To wait
until midnight. I know we're all going to be so tired and blurry eyed
tomorrow because we're trying to figure late tonight. Okay, so, uh,
here's what the school says cal State Channel Islands. We'll continue to receive updates
from the National Weather Service. We know this impact on enter A County is
expected to be less severe than it originally predicted. That's good to know.
So it looks like they're leaving it up to faculty. For faculty, the
determination of whether to hold class in person or virtually must also prior toize prioritize
their own and their students' safety. We ask people to be as flexible as
possible while ensuring the continuity of instruction and campus services. Oh now I got
to make a decision whether to teach on zoom tomorrow or not. What should
I do? Kayla? Teach on zoom tomorrow? Well, how about I'll
get up and look and see if the sun comes out or something. No,
teacher, Yeah, you got well. So we're supposed to have this
special class in the library where they learn library research methods, and that it's
booked with a librarian. Can we book the librarian next week or she could
be on zoom you can be there. You go, oh my goodness,
Oh my goodness, I'm go I have to drive tomorrow. That would be
amazing. Just reminding everybody we are not making light of this. We are
in the middle of an atmospheric river, another historic storm. I remember the
days when we lived with drought and now all of a sudden, we are
having flooding. To deal with the evacuation orders that were issued in parts of
Los Angeles County on Sunday, continue the Southland is bringing life threatening risks of
floods, dangerously high winds to the area. There are certain areas that have
been evacuated, especially burn areas, and so we have to allow those people
to get out safely. If you are driving, and I know a lot
of you are having to drive, I'm getting your phone calls because you're having
to work, etc. If you see a barricade, up. It means
something. This is not the time to be cheeky and go around the barricade.
When people do die in these kinds of storms, it is usually or
most commonly in their cars. These flash floods can happen very quickly that you
can be engulfed. So I want you to respect and honor what our first
responders are doing and keep safe out there. So we do have more than
eighty five hundred first responders in the state who have been asked to come out.
They are there for you. If you are experiencing an emergency, whether
it is flooding, whether it is you know, whether their mud slide's happening,
whether you're stranded in some way, whether you're having a health issue.
Call nine one one if you're experiencing an emergency, But do not clog on
those lines until you know unless you have an emergency, okay, because the
first responders have to get out there. We heard from a driver who drives
a delivery vehicle who is stuck on those roads working. I'm telling you there
are long haul eighteen wheelers who do most of their driving at night. They've
got to get stuff. We all know about supply chain now, right,
We've been through COVID, We've been through this, so you have to respect
those truckers. They've got to get their job done. They've got to get
stuff to people. So I encourage you to stay off the roades to when
you see So the reason why flooding is particularly dangerous at night is you see
this black water, right, it looks to you like it's eh, twelve
inches, that's no problem. I could drive through that, you think,
And before you know it, you're dipped in and the water is coming in
your car and it's above your windows and oops, you didn't know it was
that deep. And oh, the water's rushing now and your car ignition is
gone. You're stopped. And this is how it happens, all right.
So I'm gonna tell you, and especially if you have children. We did
have a school employee who's there trying to mop up water to keep campuses safe
for tomorrow. At this point, LAUSD says its schools are open except one.
Otherwise it is okay, we'll see what's gonna happen in the morning.
Right, We're gonna watch this thing. As I said, some of the
cal states have been closed, but mine cal State Channel Islands are basically asking
us to make a informed decision as professors. I want to remind you evacuation
orders and warnings are still into effect in lots of portions of southern California.
The governor has issued a state of emergency as this powerful storm continues to pummel
the region. They people are and she's sending me o. Kayla's handing me
a map here to see where it is worse. I was looking at rainfall,
Kayla. So it looks like the valley is getting the heaviest rainfall at
this point. Thousand Oaks, Woodland Hills, Agura, Calabasis, maybe where
we are in Burbank. Yeah. And then they were just saying that a
lot of areas in La County just lost power. In Santa Monica, Oh
this map is power out Yeah that's fun. Yeah. Oh there you are
now stumble it around in the dark looking for those candles that I told you
to get out earlier and put one in your car. I don't mean to
laugh. It is not fun to have a power outage, but it is
important that we have our candles ready. I will say, having lived through
a few power outages before, I want everyone to stay dry and warm and
save. Being a Canadian who I've been in power outages in the dead of
winter when it's minus twenty outside, we all know what you're supposed to do.
Right if your heat is not working, if you are experiencing cold,
you need to dress in layers, and the most important part of your body
that you need to keep covered is your head. Thirty percent of your body
heat escapes through your head. So even if you're home, if your heat
is not working, put on some kind of hat or cap, Bundle up
in layers, make sure you got your socks on. It looks like we
are having power outages, we will talk about exactly where they are when we
come back. You're listening to the Doctor Wendy Walls Show on KFI AM six

Waalsh. You can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty four from
