Our ability to broadcast is gone but we are safe. Wanted to let you all know.

Unlike Hurricane Florence, Michael, while delivering a stronger punch initially, will not linger in the area, rather it is expected to be a fast moving storm and will move through Georgia and the Carolinas tonight and tomorrow.
