Speaker 2: this was just released a couple moments ago. This just formed,
Speaker 2: i'd say about two hundred and eighty miles west of
Speaker 2: Cape Verde, so still several days before we could start
Speaker 2: to potentially see this in our neck of the woods.
Speaker 2: At this point, again, this is just a tropical storm,
Speaker 2: but there has been some pretty quick development with this.
Speaker 2: We're going to watch this here on WBZ. Otherwise, here
Speaker 2: in the northeast, we are just seeing a lot of sun.
Speaker 2: For the next few days, it's going to be hot
Speaker 2: and sticky. We have temperatures in the nineties today if
Speaker 2: you're on the Capean Islands, more like the eighties. And
Speaker 2: for tonight it'll be clear with a lone near seventy
Speaker 2: two in Boston and on the coast mid sixties in
Speaker 2: the outer suburbs, so you're really not going to need
Speaker 2: too many layers Tonight, for tomorrow, sunny with a high
Speaker 2: in the low to mid nineties, mid eighties on the
Speaker 2: capein Islands. And then for your Wednesday, sun followed by
Speaker 2: clouds and you guessed it, highs in the nineties. We

Speaker 2: to eighty six degrees and it is partly cloudy. A
Speaker 2: bat flew straight into a local woman's mouth. Wbz's Hyle
Speaker 2: Shaffle says that caused her to pay thousands in medical bills.
Speaker 5: Ever, wonder what the outside of a bat tastes like.
Speaker 6: The tastes has an earthy kind of sweet flavor, which
Speaker 6: I hope no one ever has to know besides me.
Speaker 5: Well, now you know that's Erica Kahan, a Westward biomedical
Speaker 5: engineer and perhaps one of the unluckier folks among us.
Speaker 5: She was stargazing in Arizona with her dad after losing
Speaker 5: her job when from out of the inky blackness.
Speaker 6: Flies into me. It kind of comes from the side.
Speaker 6: It hits me in the faith that squirms around it
Speaker 6: gets kind of stuck.
Speaker 5: This was just ten days after losing health coverage, and
Speaker 5: those Raby shots don't come cheap.
Speaker 6: Plus I had seen the Office episode about Raby's awareness,
Speaker 6: so thanks to the Michael Scott.
Speaker 5: Fun run, it was twenty one grand, which she's now
Speaker 5: trying to repay out of pocket. A recent gofund me
Speaker 5: is helping, but the whole situation has led her to
Speaker 5: ask questions about the healthcare system and.
Speaker 6: Why is our healthcare tied to a job? You know,
Speaker 6: when you lose your job, you're losing your insurance.
Speaker 5: For the record, she says she bears no ill will
Speaker 5: towards bat Kind, except maybe that one bat. Kyle Shaffle
