Passage Three
We’re interrupting this program for a special announcement. Please listen carefully to the following safety information. We’ve just received word that Hurricane Harry has changed its course and is now headed straight for the mainland. We expect to have winds of over 150 miles per hour so it’s important that you are prepared. The hurricane should arrive at about 3 p.m. this afternoon. Please follow these safety instructions. In your house, board up your windows as much as possible. If you have a boat, go to the harbor and tie it down well. We cannot allow any camping on the beach; it is far too dangerous. Some of you may be planning to leave town in order to avoid the hurricane. That’s fine, but please try to get out of town before 3 today so that the roads are clear. For those of you who are staying in town, please stay indoors and out of your car.
This hurricane should pass through fairly quickly, and we hope that no damage will be done. But after the hurricane dies down, be aware of possible loose electric wires. The electric company will be keeping a close watch on the situation, and they will come out to repair any damage as soon as possible. If you see any downed wire, don’t touch it. And if the electricity goes out in your house, be patient. The Electric Repair Service Department will be quite busy, but you can be assured that they will be working as quickly as possible to get everything back to normal. Please pass this information on to your friends and neighbors, and keep your radio tuned to the station for more updated information.
