DEVELOPING: we had just arrived to Lisbon Falls by the Mobil station where there was a large law enforcement presence. All of a sudden, just a few minutes ago, about a dozen police vehicles took off all at once. It’s the most movement we’ve seen tonight at one time.

People are evacuating. Gas station lines are held up for hours. Homes are flooded. Two people were killed and two people are missing. No statement. No press conference from Gov. Janet Mills. Her press secretary did just tweet about Cadbury Eggs at CVS though.

Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support. When I first came out (now over 11 years ago!), I didn’t know if there would actually be a space for people like me on TV or the news. I am grateful to know now 7 years in the biz and 3 stations later I was wrong!

This is Winston. He was born with both an underdeveloped sternum and front arms. He needs a series of chest reconstruction surgeries and he’s growing so fast he needs a new set of wheels every other week. You can help him and his rescuers below. 14/10

BREAKING: I’m in Lisbon on Lisbon Street where there is a LARGE police presence. This is several miles away from Lewiston. I asked law enforcement if they think the suspect is here— he replied they didn’t know. Then another officer said to get back “this area isn’t safe.”

This is a damning response to Gov. Mills from the National Weather Service. She has repeatedly said this storm was much worse than predicted. “Forecasts and briefings provided to local and state officials began on Friday, Dec. 15. NWS alerted for a significant weather event…”
The National Weather Service has issued a statement in response to comments made by Governor Janet Mills who has been publicly critical of their forecast leading up to the 12/18 storm that caused heavy damage and claimed four lives. Their statement is in this thread:

It was tough reporting on a COVID outbreak when just last week, we said goodbye to my grandma. There was an outbreak at her independent living facility in Chicago. She got sick and later had a related stroke. It is terrible to know she's no longer with us.

It's something we hear from viewers just about every severe storm event-- why not bury the power lines? Here in Maine, downed trees and limbs frequently cause outages. The thought is that this could be avoided by going underground.

I was so shocked when I moved to Maine to learn about the incredible Valentine’s Day tradition— someone would put up simple ♥️ signs ALL over Portland. Literally overnight. It was magical! Maybe people could put up a heart sign this week to honor him?

Hey I visited Maine twice and decided to move here. It’s great. Highly recommend. In fact I have. Great breweries. Nice beaches. Wonderful boots. Winter sucks. But that’s ok. There’s skiing. And snowboarding. More breweries. Plus distilleries. Some wineries. Don’t forget lobster.

Check out this 📸 of Portland Headlight today during the storm. Good reminder that while Mainers LOVE to go down to the water and check out the waves, you need to KEEP BACK. You never know when a massive wave will hit.

Please. I am begging you. Stay home. If flood waters are rising, go to an evacuation center but do so SLOWLY. You may not realize that the road is flooded up ahead. Rivers like the Androscoggin are still rising. DON’T keep driving through the water. Turn around.

Viewers keep asking why I wear a mask if I’m on Zoom. Here’s why:
1) masks are required at my work
2) you’re not supposed to keep taking the mask on and off
3) I’m just a few feet from others
4) I don’t want COVID again
5) my family will keep wearing masks
