SUMMARY: Music fans eagerly await the sold-out Carolina concert in Charlotte, delayed by severe weather. The star-studded lineup features North Carolina natives Luke Combs and Eric Church, performing to raise funds for Hurricane Helen recovery. At a press conference, both artists expressed personal connections to the disaster, particularly Combs, who grew up in Asheville. Governor Cooper reported the storm’s damage could exceed $53 billion, with 98 lives lost. A benefit concert, “Music for the Mountains,” will also take place on Sunday in Raleigh, with proceeds supporting the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. WLWRA has raised over $950,000 for relief efforts.

Fans are traveling from around the country for the star-studded lineups. Eric Miller shares how the two concerts are making music, and raising money, for the tens of thousands of people still recovering from Herricane Helene.

SUMMARY: Breaking news from Crabtree Valley Mall: police responded to multiple gunshots fired in the parking garage around 1:30 PM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but several vehicles were damaged and multiple shell casings were found. A man is in custody for questioning, while another suspect fled the scene and collided with another car; he remains at large. Police maintain a strong presence as they investigate the incident, which occurred near Macy’s. Despite the shooting, the mall remains open for business, and many patrons were unaware of the events unfolding outside. The investigation is ongoing.

SUMMARY: Breaking news: Israeli airstrikes on targets in Iran are currently escalating and expected to continue for several hours. This follows a recent missile attack from Iran on Israel. Explosions have been reported in various locations in Iran, though visuals are scarce. The Israeli military indicates that the strikes are directed at military, not nuclear or oil sites. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, are monitoring the situation from Tel Aviv. The U.S. is not involved in these strikes but has been briefed on developments, having provided Israel with prior notification of the counterstrike.

Israel pounded Iran with a series of airstrikes early Saturday, saying it was targeting military sites in retaliation for the barrage of ballistic missiles the Islamic Republic fired upon Israel earlier this month

SUMMARY: In 2024, several restaurants received their second B health inspection scores. Zigon Bistro in Fayetteville scored 82, down from previous scores of 90 and 94.5, due to issues like raw meat stored improperly, a malfunctioning dishwasher, and eggs left out too long. IHOP on Capital Boulevard in Raleigh scored 88.5, with problems including employees dropping food without washing hands and debris in clean containers. Finally, The Star Bar in Raleigh scored 88, improving from 85, but faced issues like an insufficiently cold cooler, no soap at the handwashing sink, and raw chicken stored above raw pork, posing cross-contamination risks.
