What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHurricane Isaias came ashore on the Gulf Coast and has pushed rain and wind well inland.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith me tonight is a source familiar with the matter, speaking from a parking garage. Sir, what do you know?
Tobias WrenfieldI can't confirm that, but there was a hurricane. Please don't say you heard it from me. Say you heard it from a pillar.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEveryone has heard it from the weather forecast. It's on the map. Why the secrecy?
Tobias WrenfieldI can't confirm that, but the rain went inland. Inland, ma'am. I've said too much and my ticket is expiring.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe rain went inland.
Tobias WrenfieldI can't confirm that, but the wind is still moving.
Tobias WrenfieldI have it on good authority from a man in a poncho who walked past my car.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA poncho. That's your whole source. Let me ask you again, what do you actually know about this storm?
Tobias WrenfieldI know this garage is eighteen dollars a day, and they do not validate. That's all. Please don't tell the attendant.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne last question. Is it raining where you are right now?
Tobias WrenfieldI can't confirm that. There's a roof.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThank you, sir. Chip has real storm coverage from across America, and he has a source with a window.
