CNN20: Hurricane Coverage

Aired May 1, 2000 - 9:37 a.m. ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEFF FLOCK, CNN CORRESPONDENT (on camera): I like hurricanes, the power that you see. The other thing about hurricanes is that you can experience them with some degree of safety if you know what you're doing.

In a hurricane, if you get in a good strong steel construction and concrete building that's high enough up, you can weather it out.

I just think -- I've always been interested in communicating about hurricanes.

There is one shot of me, arm around a telephone pole -- it was a light pole actually. And with that wind blowing like that, it was intense.

At one point we interviewed a guy on the street, who had come, he was an emergency management guy from the center state, who had come to observe a hurricane, and we're holding on to each other as we're conducting the interview. It wasn't that bad a storm. We could pretty much feel like we could stand there and have some degree of safety.

Apparently, a lot of people called in and had some concern for our safety or intelligence. But it was a great opportunity to communicate just what a hurricane is live.

This is what CNN can do that other people can't, because they're not on the air all the time.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FLOCK: But just very, very serious conditions. This may be our last live report, because I don't think we're going to be able to get through this.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FLOCK: They're just fascinating to me.
