Jude Carnival and I need an advisory if I need to tell Talley amusements to shut it down.
00:06
What is your, what is,
00:08
what's the advisory looking like right now?
00:12
The major cross-street intersection, please.
00:16
I am at Exchange and Highway 5 in Allen, right by the Allen Stadium.
00:26
NVIDE5 ERD, NEC control.
00:31
WD5 yielding
00:35
All right, so here's the last transmission.
00:39
We have a gentleman that's looking for advice on either shutting down the Carnival in Allen.
00:44
Here's what I can tell you.
00:46
Based off of my location relay from Grayson County and the radar, it looks like everything is going to be tracking due south of Highway 5 right now.
00:58
So any advice on kind of that gentleman's contact would greatly appreciate it.
01:08
Right now, the severe weather coming out of Grayson County will now move east of McKinney and Allen.
01:18
The storm that's in Denton will move west of Collin County.
01:23
So they should be fine.
01:25
They're going to get wet, possibly.
01:27
But the most severe stuff should be east of them.
01:37
Pachillo, can you confirm transmission?
01:41
Whiskey 5 is here, Papa Kilo.
01:43
I'm in receipt of WD5ERD's transmission and advisory.
01:49
We do have a large number of amusements that are greater than 30 feet in the air.
01:53
So at the first sign of lightning, I'm going to make the call and shut her down.
02:02
I would say that's a very wise decision on the lightning.
02:06
There is quite a bit of lightning in the storm.
02:09
And the other thing will be wind.
02:12
If a dust front comes in from one of the cells, you could have problems with canopies and stuff like that.
02:19
But the cell to the east definitely has a lot of lightning in it.
02:25
Okay, I just saw two strikes due west of Allen right now, and I'm moving my way up to Carnival Committee and Command, and I'm going to make the call.
02:43
Regrettable for the carnival, but I understand good call.
02:46
Thank you.
