THREAD: Today we flew in Chopper9 for nearly 5 hours to get a look at the damage in Western North Carolina.
What we saw was devastating.

This is Dennis Peek. His sister tells me she found out yesterday he was fired from his job at @Wendys in Stanley, NC after 20+ years. In my report tonight hear what the company says is an “unfortunate mistake” that lead to his termination & what is being done to fix it. @wsoctv
Good morning! I’d say morning, but it’s @DukesMayoBowl day! Repping my alma mater, @WestVirginiaU in the makeup room. I’m on the desk until 9am with your headlines on tv64!
Talked to @NC_Governor this evening about damages in #WesternNorthCarolina .
Here are some key points:
- “we know that there are 10 people confirmed dead, but we know there are more
- 31 search and rescue teams there now
- more than 200 swift water rescues already @wsoctv
Looking through my shots from Roane County’s Football practice tonight and looking at this screen shot I think it’s safe to say Alex Miller was out there watching over the guys. You can’t plan shots like this.
Celebrating 3 years in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia with @WOWK13News ! And two months in my new position as a morning anchor. I can’t thank you all enough for allowing me to tell your stories and now bring you the latest news across the tri-state every morning!
