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

@HarrisTeeter why did you change your bread for your subs? Terrible decision… I believe I’ve just had my last HT sub until you change back and bring back your 3-Cheese bread. 🥖 time to head over to @Publix for a #pubsub.

Public servants should serve the public.

Too many elected officials serve their own interests — their political party or their personal power — first.

@EdwinPeacockIII @CLTgov As a former member of the MTC, I’m deeply disappointed in what’s been happening & the loss of focus on making the light rail welcoming & safe to travelers. It’s only going to get worse until the current MTC & quite frankly, the City of Clt get serious addressing the root cause.

FAA has confirmed that there was a mid-air collision between the AA regional jet and a Blackhawk helicopter.

[Cigar Dave "The General" @CigarDaveShow]

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

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

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. https://t.co/CSqWFTglMy
