From the transcript
I actually said my name is Nicole Barron. I'm the warning coordination leader office for the National Weather Service forecast office here in Juneau. We issued the flood warning yesterday afternoon for an expected crest tomorrow morning between 16.1 and 16.6 feet. Rough timeline of when that crest would happen is Thursday morning between 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM. And we are seeing a steady rate of rise on the lake gauge right now.
