- [DJ] And you're listening to

Echo Radio, sleepy Saturdays with Jim Jets.

It's Saturday, the 12th of November,

now onto the news.

Well, it's been a surprising 24 hours

in the Charlotte Ranger's region.

Our record breaking drought has broken

in spectacular fashion with a violent rain

and hailstorm which commenced late yesterday afternoon

and continued torrentially overnight

resulting in the Echo River breaking its banks.

And this wild weather shows no sign of easing, folks,

as rain and sleet are forecast for the rest

of the day with further flood warnings

issued for this evening.

(suspenseful music)

- Afternoon.

- Do you need a ride?

- Well, get in, no other side.

Move over, Diana, let the lady through.

- You good?

- What's your name, dear?

- Esther.

- Esther?

- Hester.

- Hester?

That's a strange name.

Did your mother give you that name?

- Where you headed, Hester?

We can take you through Echo Valley.

- You don't look well, dear.

- What's the date?

- That would be the 11th of November.

- What day?

- [Man] Friday.

- Is everything all right, dear?

Something's traumatized the kid, Freddy.

- Something traumatized you, kid?

- [DJ] It's Saturday, the 12th of November,

I'm Jim Jet with some breaking news.

Echo Valley authorities have declared a flood crisis

as last night's unexpected, severe flash flood

continues to wreak havoc across the region.

The flood has already claimed the lives of five

people, including two young children,

and a teenager, who were discovered drowned

in their car at Echo Valley.

It is believed that the driver, who has been

identified as Alfred Lambert, became stuck

in deep mud at a rest area just off Highway 11

at the mouth of Echo Valley before yesterday's downpour.

Also found in the car were Mr. Lambert's wife,

Marlene, eight month old, Thomas,

and seven year old, Diana.

Police are awaiting identification of the girl

to determine whether the body is that of

missing teenager-- (baby crying)

- Stop.

- I'm gonna be sick!

- Stop the car!

- Quick, quick, Freddy,

she's gonna be sick, quick!

- Marlene, do you think I'm not trying to stop?

I can't pull up here.

- In the bucket, Diana,

in the bucket, if you can.

There, Freddy, rest area,

pull in there.

- No, don't go in there!

Please, listen to me! (Marlene yelling)

Listen to me!

There's gonna be a flood and our car is going to be stuck!

- A flood? - Our car is gonna get stuck

and we all die!

Please, believe me!

Let me out! (Marlene's speech drowned out)

- You understand?

- Let me out!

- Stop!

(thunder crashes)

- [Hester] It's coming.

- [Marlene] I have a bad feeling

about you. - It's coming.

Look!

- I've got a bad feeling about you!

- Look, it's coming! - I have a bad feeling

about you! - Just turn around

and look at it! - I've got a bad feeling

about you!

Get out!

Get out, clear off!

(thunder crashes)

(eerie music)

- [DJ] Will our souls carry the void

and beyond again?

Mmm, big question.

Very big question.

You're listening to Echo Radio's Sleepy Saturdays.

It's Saturday, the 12th of November, I'm Jim Jets.

Now, with your evening news.

Echo Valley police are investigating this morning's

discovery of a body on the side of Highway 11,

just past the Echo Valley exit.

The body has been identified as that

of missing teen, Hester Black.

It's thought Hester was struck down by a speeding car

at around sunset last--

(acoustic guitar music)

This spring's record breaking drought continues

with a sunny Sunday on the horizon

and still no sign of rain.
