So bittersweet to share that tomorrow is my last day at WCBD News 2 in Charleston. I am so grateful for every friendship I’ve made & person I’ve met through this job. The memories I’ll take with me are invaluable & from the moment I started at News 2, Charleston felt like home 💛

DEVELOPING: Video from a witness yesterday afternoon shows dozens of monkeys escaping from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Yemassee. Authorities say 43 Rhesus macaque primates are still on the loose as the search continues. @WCBD
UPDATE ON ESCAPED MONKEYS: The CEO of Alpha Genesis confirmed this evening the successful recovery of 24 monkeys - bringing the total to 25/43. Officials say “initial reports from the veterinary team indicate that all recovered animals are in good health.”
MONKEY UPDATE: They have not been caught/returned to enclosures. They are "playfully exploring the perimeter fence of the facility, engaging with those still inside by cooing to them." Officials say they are exhibiting calm/playful behavior & ask residents to stay away from area.

For reference, this is what a 19 foot storm surge looked like when I chased Hurricane Michael. This was Mexico Beach, FL.
You can see why the word “unsurvivable” is being used to describe the potential surge from #Helene.
VP Kamala Harris and former Pres. Donald Trump will meet on the debate stage in less than an hour.
