Sky Drone 12

A quadcopter flying through the skies over Southern New England for WPRI-TV. Lover of heights and long flies over the beach. Not a big fan of trees.

This evening on 12 News: I got an exclusive look at the repairs to the Conimicut Lighthouse. We visited the light 2 years ago…it was in pretty bad shape. Now, it looks brand new. That story on 12 News at 4. @wpri12

A treat over Newport this morning! The Italian Air Force, Frecce Tricolori, gave a few colorful passes over Fort Adams, The Newport Bridge, and The Naval College. The stop in Newport is to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Giovanni de Verrazzano's landing here in 1524. @wpri12

Emergency Announcement:

Due to the finding of a critical failure of some original 1960's bridge components, we will close the westbound side of the Washington Bridge.

Initially, all the westbound lanes will be closed and traffic diverted to alternate routes. In the next two to three weeks, we’ll move traffic to two lanes on the eastbound side at which time permanent repairs will begin on the westbound side. This will require a closure of two lanes on I-195 East in the area of Exit 1A (India Street) starting at 9 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, December 12.

Depending on the severity of what is found from the initial work, the repair could take three months or more.

Beginning immediately and during the time that it takes to make the repairs and reopen the westbound side, travelers are asked to take the marked detour routes.

A local corn maze was shaped into the profile of a long-time farmer who was known as "Mr. Fourth of July".

Messy morning commute heading into Providence. @MelissaSardelli is checking your drive times and delays caused by this incident on 95 near Thurbers Ave. @wpri12

This is the strongest tornado to hit Rhode Island since August 7, 1986 when a tornado touched down in Cranston and moved into Providence.

[T.J. Del Santo ⚡🔭 @tjdelsanto]

The Scituate Director of Public Works said the damage from this tornado rivaled the damage from the Blizzard of '78. Wow. This was an EF-2 tornado with winds of 115mph.

.@skydrone12 over what's left of a furniture store fire. On the left, you can see smoke rising from the corner of the building. On the right, with the infrared camera, you can see a hot spot in the building (little orange spot in the corner)
