Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - December 9, 2009

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

THE WAVES ARE STILL HUGE - BUT CONDITIONS HAVE SUBSIDED ENOUGH THAT WATER SAFETY OFFICIALS REOPENED BALDWIN AND HO'OKIPA BEACH PARKS THIS MORNING - WITH THE CAUTION THAT ONLY EXTREMELY ACCOMPLISHED SURFERS SHOULD VENTURE OUT. A HIGH SURF WARNING CONTINUES UNTIL TONIGHT.

THERE WAS NO TSUNAMI GENERATED BY A 6-POINT-FIVE EARTHQUAKE NEAR THE LOYALTY ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC NEW NEW CALEDONIA. THE TEMBLOR STRUCK JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT OUR TIME LAST NIGHT.

AND MORE POWER FROM ABOVE. FIRST WIND, THE COMPANY THAT OPERATES MAUI'S 20-TOWER WIND FARM ON THE KAHEAWA PASTURES OF KAHALAWAI, HAS SUBMITTED A PLAN TO ADD 14 MORE TOWERS ON 135 ACRES NEXT TO THE EXISTING SITE. WHEN COMPLETE, THE WHOLE SYSTEM WOULD GENERATE ENOUGH ELECTRICITY TO POWER MORE THAN 7,000 HOMES.

ISLAND WEATHER THAT HIGH SURF WARNING IS STILL IN EFFECT FOR VERY DANGEROUS WAVES - SOME STILL UP AND OVER 30 FEET ALONG NORTH SHORES. TONIGHT EXPECT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A LOW IN THE MID 60S. TOMORROW, EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER FOR MAUI TV NEWS, I'M JEFF KING.
