    In the most rugged parts of the North Carolina mountains, volunteers on horseback are climbing hillsides to check on folks who’s path in/out is washed out or tree-covered. Here’s a group in Ashe County Wednesday. #helene #ncwx #cltwx

    I really don't know what to say. I can't put my thoughts into words, so please forgive me for not getting back to you right now. Frankly, my teammates & I are in shock. But please know, on behalf of all of us @WBTV_News, we sincerely appreciate your prayers & support. Much love.

    With recent loss of our @WBTV_News colleagues, Jason Myers & Chip Tayag, it’s been a tough time at our #CLT station. But I want to commend our competitors, @WCCBCharlotte, @SpecNews1CLT, @Queen_City_News & @wsoctv. The coverage I’ve seen has been uplifting. Heartfelt thanks! 👍❤️

    I really don’t ever want to hear another word about the pure evil that took the lives of our 4 fallen heroes in #CLT yesterday & hurt so many others. My love, prayers & support are with their families, & by extension, all who serve us. May God bless you all. ❤️🙏

    This morning I received the nicest, most sincere sympathy card from @EricaWSOC9 & just got off the phone with @SUdelsonWSOC9, asking how the @wbtv_news Weather Team was holding up following our recent loss of Jason Myers & Chip Tayag. Great competitors & great people! ❤️

    This clip is several days old, and events have changed in the last 24 hours, but I found this video helpful with explaining the backstory of how the world found itself in this position to begin with.

    Take a minute to watch this. It's tempting to view Putin as some world-dominating mastermind. But that's not what's happening here. At all.

    Today is @MaureenOBoyle's last day @wbtv_news, as she sets sail for new chapters. Nobody in our newsroom has ever worked harder; but it's her dedication to family, faith & the causes she supported that set Mo apart. Mo made our station a better place & each of us better people.

    Cautionary tale: After 27 years of continual rate hikes with .@GetSpectrum I canceled 3 days into current 31-day billing cycle. Their policy is to collect for ALL 31 days. No prorate. Fair policy is to pay for service received. I’ll go to collections b4 paying $166.51 for 3 days.
