Short explanation of the story and how it developed: The newscast opened with the latest details on a massive fire burning at a metal recycling plant on Saint John's waterfront, which led to shelter-in-place advisories for the city due to the toxic smoke. The rest of this cast was dedicated to the approaching hurricane Lee and the impacts it was expected to have on the area. It included details from NB Power and the Canadian Red Cross on how they were preparing. We also spoke with the mayor of Saint Andrews, a community along the Bay of Fundy coast, to see how they were preparing for the potential waves associated with the storm. |
