00:00 flooding been a big part of the problems in Kern County and specific
00:03 areas due to Hillary. Let's go live right now. 23 abc Sam Hoyle standing
00:08 by on the highway 58 looking eastbound this morning with more on that closure.
00:14 Sam.
00:14 Good morning everybody. Now we are about halfway between Bakersfield and
00:23 to hatch P on highway 58. Just wanted to give you guys an idea of how
00:27 gorgeous this view truly is. Now, if we come a little bit further over here
00:32 and we look down highway 58 as you can see, it is darn near completely empty.
00:37 There are a few cars making their way through. That is only necessary state
00:41 employees and emergency and first responders to help out in the area. Now
00:47 at this moment, we're just gonna leave here. We're gonna leave you guys here
00:51 on the road just to kind of get an idea as to as to what things are like,
00:54 uh, completely empty. It is unclear how long highway 58 will be closed down as
01:01 a result of this storm. It is unclear what damage is being done at this
01:06 moment. However, we will have more updates for you on air and online as
01:10 well. We'll send it back to the studio.
01:12 All right, Sam, thank you.
