00:00As this storm continues, what are you most concerned about with Beryl?
00:05So as it moved through, of course, we had a lot of tornado warnings overnight and early this
00:12morning. A few trees down along with some power lines. We have about 17,000 right now without
00:20power. Utility companies are working hard to get those restored. But fortunately, we have not had
00:28a lot of structural damage that's been reported to us so far. So we're doing good at that at that
00:34point. And as these storms move out, what about the heat? Because that's going to continue to
00:40build. Are Arkansas residents at risk with this summer's high temperatures? I know we have some
00:46power outage issues right now. Yeah, so we'll continue to monitor that. I mean, this is
00:52Arkansas, so we have pretty warm weather most of the time, especially through the summer.
00:59So but we'll keep an eye on that and make sure that we can open some cooling centers if they
01:05are needed. And are there any safety tips that you would like to give residents during the summer
01:12of more potential severe weather? Absolutely. The main thing that we try to encourage people
01:19is to really be weather aware, to watch their local weather channels, keep up with the weather
01:25that's occurring in their area, make sure that they have some good notification apps on their
01:30phones so that they can hear those warnings when they come out, and just really be aware of that.
01:37Also, with the extensive rainfall, I really want to encourage people to watch the roadways. If they
01:43see water on the roads, don't try to go across it. We did have a couple of water rescues overnight
01:49where people were stranded in their vehicles. So we really encourage people to just keep an eye on that.
