Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - June 22, 2010

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

CENTRAL MAUI IS CLOUDED FROM SMOKE FROM A BRUSH FIRE THAT STARTED SHORTLY AFTER 1-30 THIS AFTERNOON. THE LARGE FIRE IS BURNING NEAR THE HALEAKALA HIGHWAY EXTENSION TOWARD KAHULUI. AS A RESULT HANA HIGHWAY WAS CLOSED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS FROM HALEAKALA HIGHWAY TO DAIRY ROAD. ALSO CLOSED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ARE HANSEN ROAD, PULEHU ROAD AND THE ROAD TO THE HELIPORT.

A RED FLAG WARNING FOR SEVERE FIRE DANGER WAS POSTED THIS MORNING FOR LEEWARD SECTIONS OF MAUI AND MOLOKAI - THEN A HIGH WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SUMMIT OF HALEAKALA FOLLOWED THAT.

SO FAR NO REPORTS OF DAMAGE OR INJURIES.

AND IN CERTAIN AREAS OF KULA - WHEN YOU GET HOME FROM WORK YOUR TRASH CANS WILL STILL BE FULL. THE TRUCK THAT SERVICES PORTIONS OF UPCOUNTRY MAUI BROKE DOWN THIS MORNING. THEY HOPE TO BE UP AND RUNNING AND PICKING EVERYTHING UP TOMORROW MORNING.

ISLAND WEATHER TONIGHT, WINDY AND DRY AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY AGAIN WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S.
