[English]

Breaking news a powerful storm has hit the California coast.

Thousands are stranded as power lines collapse and rescue teams struggle to reach the area.

Authorities are urging everyone to remain indoors.

Emergency officials report several coastal highways have been completely washed out

and communication lines in multiple counties are down.

Oh, hi.

Hi there

My car just broke down and uh there is no network right now because of the storm.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the storm.

It's been really bad.

My wife, she was just on the telly and she was telling me about the storm.

It's been really bad.

So are you all right?

Yeah, I mean like there is literally no place I can go.

I really need some help.

And I was wondering if you don't mind, can I just make a call?

Sure, absolutely.

You can just come on in and try the landline

I am not sure if the land lines are working, but you know, just come on and try the land lines

And see if you can get hold of someone

Come on in

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah?

Come on in.

Your wife will be okay, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She'll she'll be so happy to see meet someone

She's been just idling around watching Telly in the bedroom.

Okay, so

Yeah come on in

Thank you

Oh, please make yourself comfortable.

It’s really cold out there.

Do you need anything to drink

That's fine if I can make a call that would be really great

I'll just go and check the landline

Do you want me to fire up the fireplace, just in case you're feeling cold?

Oh no that' fine.I’m good

I'll just check the landline and let you know.

Hey hon

Can you please check if the landline is working

You are free to use one of our guest bedrooms

I'm sure my wife won't mind and neither will I.

I think that would be too much.

I'll probably go and sit in my car

The least we can do is help somebody

No that's fine I'll probably just stay in my car

And see if I can get some help maybe

I mean it's your wish.

And with the car, you know, I won't recommend staying in the car.

It's just not safe over there with the wildlife, the animals and all that.

So I won't

recommend you, but it's anyways up to you.

It's actually pretty cold out there as well

As my car broke down I cannot even put the heater on

As I told you, you are free to use our guest bedroom.

I'm sure my wife won't mind.

Can I meet your wife if you don't mind.

I mean she would have loved to meet you.

It's just she's not feeling well and she's just taking a nap

I mean if you want I can go and wake her up.

No, no no that's fine if she's sleeping I will probably catch up later

I think that would be a great thing.

Okay, then I guess that's okay

I'll probably just stay the night and really thank you so much

Let me show you the room.

You can probably change

and you get yourself comfortable.

That be great. Thank you so much

So, this is the bedroom.

You have the bathroom over here.

Just make yourself comfortable.

It's not that great, just I hope.

Oh that's so nice.Thank you so much
