Please do not let your guard down! While this map highlights the approximate arrival of the main system/line of storms, isolated severe storms are possible ahead of it. Some risk begins as early as 6 AM. What you need to do: Stay weather-aware and prepared all day long. Monitor reliable weather sources for updates. We will clear regions from west to east as the severe weather threat subsides. Stay safe! #WCNCWeather #SevereWeather #MondayForecast #NCwx #SCwx #GAwx #WeatherImpact #StayPrepared

Public servants should serve the public.
Too many elected officials serve their own interests — their political party or their personal power — first.
“The conclusion of the investigation names current Town Commissioner Mark Tofano and Mayor Pro Tem Gina Hoover as the most likely sources of the leak.”

Chilling video. Calling it now: Military helicopter intentionally crashed into CRJ from behind. With 10mi visibility & ceiling unrestricted, no chance chopper can miss seeing CRJ w/beacon, strobes & wingtip nav lights. This was an act of terrorism. #DCA #AA5342

The FAA confirms tonight’s collision near DCA involved #AA5342 and a US military H60. The helicopter was not broadcasting ADS-B data. The last received ADS-B position from the CRJ was at 01:48 UTC.
AA5342 was en route from Wichita to Washington (DCA) and was on final approach for Runway 33 at an approximate altitude of 300 feet AMSL. flightradar24.com/data/fligh…
