bank going under

The bank is not open for another 3 hours but the line outside the bank is extremely long. This gentleman here has been waiting since four in the morning. You must be wondering what's in store for them. It's something you never want to happen to you - your bank going under.

Are there any mistakes?
Thanks.

Not mistakes, but I'd do this: The bank does not open for another 3 hours , but the line outside the bank is extremely long. This gentleman here has been waiting since four this morning. You must be wondering what's in store for them.

I really appreciate your suggestions. It's really difficult to learn what's natural and what's not.

I'm assuming that this is intended to be in the style of one of those "on the scene" reporters.
