Hurricane Helene forces Garner couple to have unique wedding
SUMMARY: Tyler and Toyosi Hobbs faced major challenges during their wedding due to Hurricane Helen, which caused road safety issues, power outages, and facility closures. Despite the chaos, including the cancellation of their rehearsal dinner and complications with their original venue, the couple remained optimistic. A local hotel stepped in to host their wedding on the rooftop, allowing them to tie the knot as planned. Reflecting on their experience, Toyosi stated she wouldn’t have it any other way. Instead of a honeymoon, the couple has opted to assist with relief efforts from the storm, showcasing their resilience and love.
When Toyosi and Tyler Hobbs were in Boone on Thursday, the two were dreaming of how picture perfect their wedding would be that weekend.

Robinson trails Stein by 17 in another poll | North Carolina
SUMMARY: New polling indicates that the North Carolina gubernatorial race may be decisively leaning toward Attorney General Josh Stein, who currently leads Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson 51%-34%. This shift follows a damaging CNN report about Robinson. Stein, having won the Democratic primary, has gained momentum, showcasing a 17-point lead according to the latest High Point University survey. Robinson’s recent controversies have affected his campaign, which previously showed him ahead in polls earlier this year. The survey also indicates a deadlock in the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, amid widespread discontent with the current administration.
