A statement from NASA PA confirms it was "Dragon spacecraft trunk hardware" that fell over North Carolina. Additionally, "During its initial design, the Dragon spacecraft trunk was evaluated for re-entry breakup and was predicted to burn up fully."

I tried to tell the whole story, success and failures. Lawyer and public servant, Fred Glass' story extends far beyond his time as AD at IU. Thanks to
@zkeefer
for helping me take this thing to the next level. Enjoy⬇️
A large portion of S Tunnel Road is no longer visible, The Swannonoa River has overtaken it. APD officer on scene says there is no one in the Uhaul.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue to do what I love and can't wait to get out to the Tri-Cities and get started!
COLLETON COUNTY: ~20 acre pond blew two dikes due to excessive rain. Property owner said the lower dike went first and then one of the driveways to his house went releasing a massive amount of water into Black Creek.

The Looking Glass Waterfall after many hours of rain. We just spoke with 7-year-old Russell from Hendersonville who says he likes coming out here after a big rain because it’s “more cooler,” and I have to agree.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the demo reel. I appreciate every chance I've gotten at the Media School over the last four years and can't wait to see where this thing goes in the future.
And thanks for engaging with my stupid tweets - cheers.

Chair, Anderson Clayton, is in Asheville touting Biden/Harris policies and speaking out against what she expects former President Trump to say during his visit today.
Very excited to share that I’m headed to Winston-Salem to cover the Piedmont Triad for WXLV!
Happy to to cover such an important area in the Tar Heel State, happy to be back in Braves Country and happy to dance with my friend, humidity, once more.
The aftermath of the Swannanoa River flooding. This is the intersection of South Tunnel Road and Swannanoa River Road. This community is completely devastated.

This week I began a new position with

in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. I couldn't be prouder and more excited to work for this powerhouse operation and continue to report on what impacts North Carolinians.

MCDOWELL COUNTY: Just got off the phone with EMS Director Will Kehler.
No storm related fatalities.
Saturday - over 40 air rescues.
He said one search/rescue crew hiked 10 hours to get to someone who was then airlifted out.
Kehler sent these images of Old Fort.
@WLOS_13
I don’t understand how you can set rules for the year and then change them because you don’t like the way things ended up. Think about if OSU and IU’s positions were switched, no way the B1G rallies around
#iufb
the way they did for OSU.
I don’t know if they’ve been playing it all night but the Pats/Bucs commercial for next weeks game with Adele’s “Hello” playing in the background is perhaps the best marketing of all time

BREAKING:
@NCAGO
announces a settlement with Frontier Communications. The internet service provider will invest $20 million in NC over the next four years to improve internet infrastructure and speeds. This comes after years of complaints from customers in WNC.
@WLOS_13
Having to file a hit and run report after someone hit my parked news vehicle WHILE at a breaking news scene is certainly a new one for me. Never a dull moment.

Demonstrators just feet away from folks waiting in line to get inside Thomas Wolfe. This is the corner of Haywood and Battery Park. This is not one of the designated zones for demonstrators.

HOT SPRINGS: Looks like the water came up to around three feet at some of the shops.
“The face of Hot Springs is never going to be the same again, but that doesn't mean that Hot Springs will not be the same.” - Mayor Abigail Norton
@WLOS_13
BILTMORE VILLAGE: Some stores have emptied their merchandise and most, if not all, have done extensive preventative work to combat flooding. This is likely to be the worst Swannonoa River flooding in more than a century, including Frances and Ivan.
@WLOS_13
UGA just lost some fans in Indy… what a pity. If there is one thing that I learned over there, you don’t large-event shame those folks… it’s their lifeblood.
When I moved to North Carolina almost two years ago, I circled the U.S. Open on my calendar. Covering a major championship for four days was an absolute dream come true and I can't wait to do it again.
Devastated for Michael Penix, but the reason this team has been so successful has been the defense. Tuttle is more than capable to step in for Penix and finish this season strongly for IU. Can’t wait to see what next season holds for QB1 and wish him a healthy recovery.

YANCEY COUNTY: Neighbors have used their own machinery to move Banks Creek back where it should be using rocks that fell from the original bank line to create a new one. They also created a temporary bridge to access the multiple homes across the water.
@WLOS_13
MARSHALL: The French Broad River is absolutely moving. Blannahassett Island is completely inundated and impassable. We’re told there have been evacuations up and down the river and a shelter has been set up at Madison Early College.

@NWSGSP
Lets talk CFP poll... after this week there is simply no way anyone can justify not having IU as the 8th ranked team in the country. Top 7 stay as they are, but Iowa State, Miami, Oklahoma being ahead of IU are laughable and UGA being ranked 8th in the country should be a felony
More images from downtown Spruce Pine. One business owner on Locust street said the water came up six to eight feet inside his restaurant. It’s almost a total loss.
They’re dozing an almost unbelievable amount of mud out of a nearby parking lot.
@WLOS_13
DOWNTOWN MARSHALL: One downtown renter told me the water was as high as seven feet. You can see the water line in the third image. “It’s horrific.”
