Judy Echaves was hit by debree while covering the hurricane in the Bahamas. Channel 10 lost connection with the team as the hurricane hammered the island and 12+ hours later they were able to send a report in which Judy said she was hit on the back by what looked like a piece of wall or wood knocking her “wind out”. She’s said she’s been putting ice on her injured area but otherwise appears just fine.
I’ll make a best effort to record the report and post it here. Thankfully we’re only getting wind gusts here and very little rain, my cable and cable TV are holding steady, knock on wood.
Update 5:03pm
Judy Echavez live from the Bahamas after being off the air for over 12 hours with no connection to WPLG and getting hit wiht a dura rock on the back, cracking her ribs – VIDEO 26.5MB MPG format 8 minutes long
Update 1:44pm: Judy Echavez is live on WPLG right now, she was hit by a dura rock a cement looking material, she looks ok but her breathing is paced and by her account she might have a cracked rib or more. Editing the video now from her report
debree [sic] is spelled “debris”. not to be critical. i just see stuff like that and can’t help myself.
poor Judy Echaves. to see her early in the storm reporting, they kept cutting over to her and she had nothing to say; the storm hadn’t arrived. she kept on milking it. she showed the place that she was going to sleep that night. she showed the people sitting around with nothing to do and she interviewed the cafeteria staff to ask them what they were going to serve the poor unfortunates who where stuck there. i had to laugh but i thank my lucky stars that frances didn’t come here.
