April 03, 2024 The severe threat has moved to the east of the Charlotte area, but the rain isn't over yet. Here's what you need to know
The severe threat has moved to the east of the Charlotte area, after strong storms moved through Georgia into the Carolinas this morning.
A strong storm system moving through the region produced a grand total of 14 tornado reports, 160 wind reports and 25 large hail reports over the last 24 hours, with these numbers likely to grow -- but none were in our area.
This severe weather window has closed for the Charlotte area but a cold front will push in later today.
Here's how that could impact you: https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/severe-weather/strong-storms-wednesday-carolina/275-9d99d88b-b82a-4024-9ef7-4b7be7c8e4d3

March 26, 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapses after ship struck it | Tuesday, March 26, 2024
A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.
It was also not clear what caused the cargo ship to crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event” in a major American city just outside of Washington. Two people were rescued, and it was not clear how many more might be in the water.
“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy."

Thursday night, a youth-led town hall brought city and county leaders together with teens in the community to discuss youth crime and gun violence.
Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown said they wanted to not talk about kids or talk at kids, but they wanted to listen with no judgment and no interruptions.

March Madness is officially here. The first round of the NCAA Tournament tips off on Thursday when Mississippi State and Michigan State battle. The massive 68-team tournament is one of the most beloved traditions in all of sports thanks to its upset-fueled unpredictability.
