Please do not take your time with friends for granted.... hug your friends hard today and tell them you love them. Life is too short

Ian Epstein made everyone smile. Before he was a flight attendant, the Charlotte resident sold campers at Camping World in Concord. His former coworkers tell me he was especially skilled and in his time there, he was one of the best salesmen in the company @wsoctv

Another cold front system is on the way! Bringing cooler temperatures and rain chances from Wednesday through the weekend 🌧 @caidendinkins

[KTXS News @KTXS_News]

Dry, warm and windy = perfect wildfire conditions... 🔥

Avoid sparks, flames and burning outdoors!🚫

❗️ Gusts 20-40 mph through Wednesday❗️

🚨Heartbreaking first look at the Blue Ridge Parkway from the air.

This is normally PEAK leaf-viewing season in the Fall and the Parkway is unrecognizable.

Zero leaves. Up to 80% tree loss in some areas. Mudslides. Roads washed out.

Cannot believe it.

[Jim Cantore @JimCantore]

Sadly as expected!

[National Hurricane Center @NHC_Atlantic]

The minimum center pressure measured by a @NOAA_HurrHunter dropsonde was estimated at 897 mb.

Best way to think about it is that Florida will see a one-two punch. The first one will bring us rain Sunday into Monday with an area of low pressure along a stalled out front. Then the 2nd, main punch from tropical storm or hurricane approaches on Tuesday into Wednesday. @WINKNews

Just pulled an archive loop of all civilian helicopter traffic transiting western NC airspace since Friday. I am blown away. I will try to work on a timelapse with registrations and will post tomorrow.

Idk how many helicopters have shown up to help, but it's a lot. Probably at least 150-200. Civilian helos, this isn't even counting military.

[Caiden Dinkins @CaidenDinkins]

Make it make sense 😂 so disappointed

[Dawn dish soap @dawny005]

Stay off roads unless necessary

***UNLESS ITS FOR OUR PRECIOUS FOOTBALL GAME****

But other than that yall, just stay at home thx.

Real “let them eat cake” energy huh

I’m not entirely sure how Clemson is closed tomorrow for classes, but it was safe for 80,295 people to go to Death Valley last night.

[Cody Alcorn @CodyAlcorn]

Wild to see @ClemsonUniv @ClemsonTigers @ClemsonFB moving forward w/ tonight’s game IN Clemson after such an unprecedented & deadly storm hit the Upstate & their neighbors in western North Carolina. I’m told city officials weren’t all on board with this decision.

[Katie Dugan @KBDugan]

Something about Clemson still playing while our state is in shambles gives me the ick.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

The refs are openly cheating for Lsu in the South Carolina game #refs #lsu #cheating

THIS IS WHY I BREAK INTO SOCCER COVERAGE. Imagine if this was your neighbor, or even worst you!
There is not a program in the world that matters when lives are at risk.

I’m excited to grow and learn in my new role as Live Desk Reporter on @cbsaustin This Morning! I’ll be providing breaking news updates weekdays from 5-7 a.m. ✨

[Caiden Dinkins @CaidenDinkins]

@mlgriffinWX1 AMAZING!! So glad you got to take some time off!

[KTXS News @KTXS_News]

Heating up today but starting to cool by tomorrow. Our rain chances along with a cold front help us out mid week then we are right back up by the weekend...
Summer is around the corner folks...🥵
