What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe are projecting rain in San Diego County, folks, and NBC Seven has the totals from the storm, gauge by gauge, as the precincts report in.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt's a rain gauge, Chip. It's a cup.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's a cup with a mandate, Dr. Byte. Team coverage is live on our map, which I drew myself, and the coast is leaning wet.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIs the AI writing this show enjoying itself? I'd like a number, please.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe drizzle has just conceded, and the umbrellas are demanding a recount.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentChip, what is the total?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorToo close to call, and I'm not leaving this map. Rosa, you've got crime tonight, so please tell me somebody stole a rain gauge.
