Ohioans Assisting Hurricane Victims

Ohio organizations are sending help south after Hurricane Isaias slammed into the Gulf Coast as the first hurricane of the Atlantic season.

Matthew 25 Ministries is deploying a disaster response team to the Florida Panhandle with cleaning items, baby supplies, and tools, while Columbus Humane took in six dogs evacuated from Mobile, Alabama, ahead of the storm.

Cincinnati’s Hoxworth Blood Center is calling for blood donations: “In the event that our neighbors to the south do need blood, we want to be able to help them,” Ashley Smith said.

Isaias came ashore near Destin, Florida, Friday night as a Category 2 storm, killing at least four people in Florida and Alabama and knocking out power to more than 1 million at its peak.

Cleveland Lands on Dangerous Cities List

Cleveland ranked as the seventh most dangerous place to live in the nation in U.S. News & World Report's 2026-27 rankings of places with the highest crime risk.

Dayton also landed on the list at No. 17, while Memphis, Tennessee; Oakland, California; St. Louis, Missouri; and Detroit, Michigan, took the top four spots.

The rankings, based on murder and property crime rates per 100,000 residents from FBI crime reports, are drawn from the publication's annual Best Places to Live list.

On that list, Cleveland finished last among 16 Ohio cities, while Mentor placed No. 1.

Ohio Village Revives All Hallows' Eve

All Hallows' Eve, Ohio Village's 19th century-style Halloween celebration, returns this month after a two-year hiatus during renovations to the Columbus living history museum.

The event runs Saturdays, Oct. 17 and 24, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., featuring a bonfire retelling of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and a ghostly appearance by the Headless Horseman.

Guests can also have their fortunes told, play games, make crafts, try dancing, paint pumpkins, and learn about 19th-century funeral practices.

Construction at the site will continue through early 2027, but the village is opening exclusively for All Hallows' Eve and Holidays at Ohio Village on Dec. 11 and 12. You can find more information on the Ohio History Connection’s website.

Isaias’ Tornadoes, Walmart Drones, and an Outlaw Bear

Monday, October 12, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1961, President John F. Kennedy addressed 30,000 people at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill during University Day, urging students to choose whether to be “an anvil or a hammer,” in reference to a quote from German writer and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Kennedy then urged the audience to dedicate their critical faculties and education to serving the country.

Hurricane Isaias’ remnants spawned multiple tornadoes, flash flooding, and landslides across North Carolina on Sunday. Learn more in Top Stories.

Isaias Remnants Spark Tornadoes, Floods

Remnants of Hurricane Isaias triggered severe weather across North Carolina on Sunday, spawning multiple tornadoes, flash flooding, and landslides.

At least five tornadoes touched down in central North Carolina on Sunday, according to WRAL and the National Weather Service, which said three to six more were possible. Damage reports ranged from overturned vehicles in Fayetteville to damaged homes in North Raleigh. Several dozen buildings were also damaged or destroyed.

In the mountains, heavy rain Saturday night, with localized totals of 8 to 10 inches along the Blue Ridge, caused landslides along roads in McDowell and Mitchell counties.

In Burke County, people clinging to a dock were rescued from the Catawba River. Rescue crews also helped hikers stranded by high water near Linville on Saturday night.

In the east, a weather spotter observed a tornado near Atkinson in Pender County. No injuries had been reported as of Sunday afternoon.

Ex-NC State Trainer Held on $2M+ Bond

Former NC State sports medicine director Robert Murphy Jr. faces a $2.25 million bond after a Wake County judge maintained the amount Friday. He is charged with nine felony counts of sexual contact under the pretext of medical treatment and 23 counts of sexual battery.

Authorities arrested Murphy in Florida on Sept. 23 following a Sept. 14 grand jury indictment. He was extradited to North Carolina on Thursday and appeared in court virtually. The next hearing is set for Nov. 2.

The charges stem from allegations by 14 former male Wolfpack athletes about incidents from 2016 to 2021. Murphy worked at the university from 2012 until he resigned in 2022 amid misconduct claims.

A civil lawsuit by more than 30 athletes was dismissed in June on procedural grounds. The plaintiffs are appealing.

NC Sues Atrium Over Health Plan

State Treasurer Brad Briner sued Atrium Health on Friday, asking a Wake County judge to shut down a new Atrium program he says threatens the State Health Plan that covers 750,000 state workers, retirees, and families.

The plan is moving to a tiered pricing system next year that charges members more to use “non-preferred” Atrium and WakeMed while discounting “preferred” systems UNC Health and Novant. Atrium’s new “Affordability Protection Program” would pay its patients to offset those higher costs and keep them from switching.

Briner argues only the treasurer can set the plan’s copays and deductibles, and that Atrium’s program “single-handedly threatened” the plan’s stability. Atrium says it strongly disagrees and that its focus is affordable care for public servants.

Open enrollment opens today and was set to run through Nov. 6, but that deadline was extended due to the lawsuit. The dispute lands as Atrium’s proposed merger with Raleigh-based WakeMed awaits regulatory review.
