What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThis is a BBN special report. WEAR-TV in Pensacola reports a long list of intersections are compromised by downed lines, trees and debris.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWelcome back, and the facts first. Storm damage is hitting the coastal community's roads. Lines are down. Trees are down. Debris is in the lanes.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhich means signals can be dead at some of those corners, and drivers have to treat them as four-way stops.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCorrect. Slow down, obey the officers, and treat any downed line as live. Stay well clear.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLive?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAssume it. Utility crews say that every time, Chip, for a reason.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGot it. Check the local list before the commute, because the list is long, and it changes by the hour.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAuthorities will keep updating which intersections reopen as crews clear the debris. That is what to watch next.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFour-way stop with no lights is basically a pickup game with no refs. Everyone thinks they have the ball.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNobody has the ball.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThen the tree blocking the whole intersection gets the flag. Unsportsmanlike conduct.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt has been ejected from the road, Chip. Crews are handling it.
