The heavy rain yesterday flooded their building. Determined to keep their listeners informed they kept rolling.
Doing some more assessment from the @WCIA3 studio where we found on our green screen a clear water line around a foot. Now some of that may be exaggerated some from walking through and kicking up the water but still it was a bad scene last night in the studio. pic.twitter.com/ACBK78biPS

They’re still at it today and trying to dry out a bit.
Have to give it to my colleagues in the @WCIA3 newsroom who have been working all day with these fans blowing non stop after the flood. The news doesn’t stop, nor do we. pic.twitter.com/z3rSiETnU8
