What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFolks in Los Angeles woke up to seventy mile an hour Santa Ana winds, and the city has closed some roads and banned parking on certain streets.

  2. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo the question today is simple. Could the car you parked last night be on a different street by dinner?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe question is this afternoon, Nina, and the answer is that the city would rather you not find out.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is what a parking ban is for.

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA ban on parking. In a city where people already circle the block for forty minutes.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorForty minutes.

  7. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd now the wind is circling too. It just never has to pay for a spot.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOur earlier fire on Kingsley Drive began in the basement of an apartment complex, and the wind is a fair reason for everyone to stay careful today.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo, should you be worried? Mildly. Move the car, then eat a sandwich indoors.
