What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHurricane Simon weakened on Monday, but it is still pounding resorts and towns along Mexico's Pacific coast.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith me is Orville Banjo, inmate forty-oh-four-one-seven, who says he knows beachfront damage.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOrville, what happens to a resort when a weakened hurricane keeps hitting it?

4. OB

   Orville BanjoI've seen water do this before, Hank.

5. OB

   Orville BanjoA resort doesn't flood, it reveals what the brochure left out, and I'm not saying who wrote that brochure.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo you've read the brochures. Are you speaking as a meteorologist or as a man who sold them?

7. OB

   Orville BanjoI've seen water do this before. Forty units, ocean view, and the ocean agreed. The judge did not find that funny.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe judge.

9. OB

   Orville BanjoI mean a judge, generally. Look at this laminated tide chart, it's very official. I made it myself in the craft room.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Does a weaker storm mean safer resorts tonight, yes or no?

11. OB

    Orville BanjoI've seen water do this before, and in my professional experience, every unit is dry until the first Tuesday after closing.

12. OB

    Orville BanjoI'd gladly consult for BBN on release.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd when is your release date, Orville?

14. OB

    Orville BanjoDepends on the paperwork, Hank. Same as the storm.
