we went in and used rock bolts 15 to 40 feet into the rock face and added bolts to the site to try to stabilize it. while the community is happy that the road is open again, they are also proud. because of the quick thinking and expertise of a road supervisor and a geologist, no one is injured or killed by the rock slide. i get some cold sweats from time to time thinking of all the things that could have gone wrong that day. if i had stopped for coffee. taken extra time for lunch before i got out to the site. the timing of everything was such that once i got there we had time to see what was going on and get everybody out of the way before the slide occurred. had she not been there those rocks would have come down and not just bill and myself, but everybody that was working that scene, all the tdot crews. it would have been a much different story had we have been standing in that same spot.

to stabilize it. while the community is happy that the road is open again, they are also proud. because of the quick thinking and expertise of a road supervisor and a geologist, no one is injured or killed by the rock slide. i get some cold sweats from time to time thinking of all the things that could have gone wrong that day. if i had stopped for coffee. taken extra time for lunch. the timing of everything was such that once i got there we had time to see what was going on and get everybody out of the way before the slide occurred. had she not been there those rocks would have come down and not just bill and myself, but everybody that was working that had seen all the tdot crews, it would have been a much different story had we have been standing in that same spot. coming up, winds cause this bridge to swing wildly, forcing
they have to inspect everything out at the airport with those wind, did gust over 60 miles per hour. and the planes have to get here for you to fly. a lot of those were taken out of the path and have to fly in tonight or tomorrow morning to get you on your flight. i hope you catch your flight. if you re having a good time here maybe a travel day. my bosses in san francisco are saying, we need you back. want to continue with coverage and still have tropical storm gusts and rhode island, the wave action is really intense, ron blome is out there in narragansett bay. buzzard s bay, we were very concerned with. the governor about three hours ago said that s actually where they dodged the bullet but the power outages are the story. we have high tide coming back in shortly. what are you hearing on the ground? reporter: well, i think the high tide is not going to be as big tonight as this morning. the rhode island d.o.t. crews
the city doesn t care about us, so don t worry about it. the d.o.t. crews, which are assigned to sanitation for secondary street plowing was sent over to sanitation supervisors. supervisors told them, all right, go park at your destination locations to start going out, we ll get back to you. six to eight hours later, they didn t. do you have a sense as to whether this might be a widespread sentiment? or two or three people? the three sanitation workers i spoke to work out of two different garages. so two supervisors in queens in those two garages were part of the slowdown. the d.o.t. crews were inside of queens. i m speaking about queens. but then you take a look at the rest of the city of new york. and you ask yourself what s happened. this is the sixth worst snowstorm in the last 20 years but it s not the first and not in the top five. so looking at the responses even we had last year, 24 hours after the snow hit the ground, we were cleaned up.
