Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm Johnny Cruz News Ready away forty whs. Yeah, we're
going to have some rain and a little bit more,
it looks like for a lot of people down south,
obviously with Hurricane Helene. The latest now from Jack Crumley,
who joined us from NBC News Radio. Jack, Good morning,
What what's you track down?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
A good morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Where are we tracking now?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well, so we are still in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Helen right now is still just the Category one
who wins up to about ninety miles an hour, but
the forecasting models now indicating it could be a Category
four when it makes landfall, which will just be later
on today. It's only moving at about twelve miles an hour,
but if it spins up into a category four status,
(00:43):
you're looking at, you know, one hundred and thirty mile
an hour wins. There's a possible twenty foot storm surge
that the Big Bend area of Florida's Gulf Coast is
looking at. But it's so much more than that we're
looking at, you know, hundreds of miles inland being affected
by the size of this storm. Tropical storm force winds
on Helene extend from three hundred and forty five miles
(01:04):
from the Center's that's New York City to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Wow, that is quite amazing. As you mentioned there, when
anytime where we know it's going to weaken, when it
hits the coast, it starts a weakening. But to your point,
I had no idea that the storms might wind up
in New York City for example.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, I'm just saying that's the that's the equivalent distance
three hundred and forty five miles from the Gulf coast.
That's the same as the distance from you know, New
York City to Pittsburgh. But you know, because things are
extending out so far, the National Weather Service has issued
what's a very rare high risk of excessive rain for
the Southern Appalachians, this area of northern Georgia, western South Carolina,
(01:48):
western North Carolina, where widespread flash floods are expected. There
are tropical storm warnings that cover Atlanta and at Asheville,
North Carolina. And it's going to bend to the west.
And I mean there are portions of Kentucky into the
weekend Saturday morning where you know it won't be the
same as tropical storm force winds. But that's when you
(02:09):
know a lot of the heavy rain and winds are
going to be felt in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, as you just mentioned my next question, that's other
states that are going to be impacted and how much
rain they're going to get. To your point, I did
not know until you brought that up about western North Carolina.
I travel there a lot for a vacation in North Georgia,
for example, they're in the Appalachians, and yes, you could
see just because of the terrain, how flooding could overwhelm
(02:34):
a lot of those creeks and waterfalls that are in
that area.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, I mean the idea that the excessive rain is
expected with widespread flash flooding that far north. That sort
of gives you an idea of the magnitude of this thing.
Forecasting on the storm went from a potential tropical cyclone
up to a category three in like sixty hours. That's
never happened before. This thing is growing very quickly in
(03:00):
strength in the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Governor ron As Santas has issued and declared a disaster
for a situation in sixty one counties there. In Florida,
which has already this year seen in some places record
flooding for that state.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, I mean, and we're talking about mandatory evacuations in
and around the Tampa area. There are already hundreds of
people in Florida in shelters. When Government Census was speaking
to reporters yesterday, he was putting out words saying, hey, look,
there's still time, there's still time to make a plan,
and you don't have to go hundreds of miles away.
You just got to get the safer ground. That's a
little higher up. But people you know in Florida for
(03:39):
sure should expect to lose power again. Hundreds people are
already in shelters.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This is a big storm, big one, no doubt. Jack,
appreciate your time this morning. Thanks for joining us this
morning here on news RADIOA forty whs Jack Crumley, NBC
News Radio here on Kentucky at this Morning News. We've
got more coming your way with sports and Scott Fids,
jeral John Shannon with news all coming up in the
next few minutes, and so

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
