TO BE KAYAKING, HELPING HIS
NEIGHBOR GET HIS CAR THAT HAS
BEEN INSTALLED HERE FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
OUT OF THE WATER.
HE COULD SEE THESE CARS ARE
TRYING TO GET BY.
IT’S NOT WORKING.
THIS LOW-LYING AREA OF NORTH
14TH AVENUE RIGHT OFF SHERIDAN.
THIS IS A NORTH HOLLYWOOD.
JUST WEST OF WESTLAKE PARK.
THIS AREA UP AND TALKING TO
RESIDENTS ALL MORNING.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
THE CITY DOING SEVERAL THINGS
TO HELP THE SITUATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE STREET
COMPLETELY AND UNDATED.
SEVERAL CARS GETTING STUCK ON
MORNING.
NEIGHBOR’S OUT HERE TRYING.
YOU COULD SEE HIM HE’S KAYAKING
RIGHT ALONG.
HERE HE COMES.
SOMETHING TRYING TO GET THROUGH
ON A BIKE.
THIS IS QUITE THE SITUATION OUT
HERE.
SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN.
WE’VE SEEN CREWS OUT HERE.
SHE SAW HIGH WATER RESCUE
VEHICLE OUT HERE ON THIS ROAD
EARLIER PATROLLING THE ROADS.
MAKING SURE EVERYBODY WAS
STAYING SAFE MAPPING OUT THE
AREAS IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
IN CASE OF SOMETHING WHAT
HAPPENS SO THEY HAVE A PLAN.
HERE’S A CRACKER SURVEY ON THE
BIKE HERE.
HERE HE COMES.
LOOKS LIKE IT’S COMING TOWARDS
US.
I WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT
WHAT THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING TO
APPEASE THE SITUATION.
YOU COULD SEE, THERE HE GOES.
OH NO.
[LAUGHTER] OKAY.
HE’S HAVING FUN CLEARLY.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY IS HAVING A
LOT OF FUN IN THE SITUATION.
MAKING LIGHT OF THIS REALLY BAD
SITUATION FOR SOME OF HIS
NEIGHBORS WHO CAN’T EVEN PULL
OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS THIS
MORNING.
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO WHAT THE
CITY HAS BEEN DOING TO APPEASE
THE SITUATION.
THEY PUT OUT A PUMP HERE.
THAT HAS BEEN DEWATERING THIS
AREA ALL MORNING.
EARLIER!
RESIDENTS OR COMPANY BECAUSE
THE PUMP WAS OFF.
IT IS NOW ON.
IF SEVERAL OF THESE PUMPS
THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THESE
LOW-LYING AREAS.
PUMPING THIS WATER OUT AND INTO
THE STEM THE CITY HAS ALSO
BUILT THAT IS NEARBY.
THAT SEEMS TO BE HELPING A
LITTLE BIT.
RESIDENTS HERE SAY STRESS ON
ENOUGH WHEN IT RAINS THIS MUCH.
OBVIOUSLY RAIN STILL COMING
DOWN.
SOME TIPS FROM THE CITY THIS
MORNING.
I SPOKE TO THEM SAYING
TURNAROUND ON DROWN ESPECIALLY
IN THESE LOW-LYING AREAS LIKE
THIS MORNING. DON’T TRY TO GET
THROUGH IT.
DON’T GO AROUND THE BARRICADES.
THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON.
ALSO, SAYING DEMOCRACY THIS
MORNING IF YOU’RE CONCERNED
ABOUT PARKING SPOT ONE OF THESE
AREAS, THEY HAVE FREE PUBLIC
PARKING AVAILABLE IF YOU ARE A
RESIDENT OF HOLLYWOOD IN ANY
ONE OTHER FOR PARKING GARAGES.
PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE IS
RATHER.
IT IS WHEN OUT HERE.
FREE PUBLIC PARKING FOR ANY OF
THE RESIDENTS OF HOLLYWOOD.
HIS CARS ARE LOW-LYING AREAS
WHO MAY BE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR
PARKING SITUATION.
OTHER THAN THAT STAY SAFE OUT
THERE.
DRIVE SLOW.
TURNAROUND ON DROWN.
THAT’S THE BIG MESSAGE THEY
WANT TO GET OUT THIS MORNING.
AS OF RAIN IS STILL COMING DOWN
IN THIS AREA GUYS.
>> ANDREA, IF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
CAN PAN HERE AND GIVE YOU A
MOMENT WHILE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THIS.
THAT IS THE FLOODING BUT ALSO
AS A RESULT WE REALLY DON’T
KNOW WHAT’S IN THE WATER.
THERE COULD BE UP MARTYRS,
THERE’S BACTERIA.
THAT’S ANOTHER REASON WHY WE
KNOW OFFICIALS HAVE SAID TO
TRYING TO STAY OUT OF THE WATER
IF YOU CAN.
THIS CRACKER HERE, THEY LOOK TO
BE SOMEWHAT NEGATE THE MOST OUT
OF A BAD SITUATION.
WE DO HAVE TO SAY THIS IS
EXACTLY WHAT OUR OFFICIALS HAVE
BEEN SAY NOT TO DO.
BECAUSE OF WHAT WE JUST
MENTIONED.
IT STILL IS VERY DANGEROUS.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S IN THE
