I-40 is open to traffic! Crews worked hard to clean up debris from 4 different areas along I-40 near the TN/NC border, as well as repair the on- and off-ramps at the Waterville exit, after last week’s flooding and slides. We had originally estimated two weeks for the repair, but it was completed in just about a week. We are thankful for the hard work that went into reopening this vital roadway. I-40 has returned to one lane of travel in each direction, with a lowered speed limit. Oversized loads are not allowed. This restriction is related to the repair from Hurricane Helene in September 2024, not the recent rockslide. Crews will continue to be working on I-40 and we remind people to slow down in work zones, for their safety and the safety of the crews.

This sweet little angel Michael is up in heaven after fighting for 7 weeks and 4 days. Tonight, I spoke with his mother Kristy about blood donations, and the impact a simple donation can make for families trying to spend every precious second with their loved ones. I challenge everyone to go give blood this week to honor little Mikey and his family. https://gf.me/u/y4wpf8

Spinal Cord injuries are life changing to the people who suffer from them and their families. Luckily, technology continues to advance. And thanks to teens like Cooper Sever and his family, hopefully one day there will be even better solutions for recovery and treatment! I had so much fun meeting them yesterday.

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS AN RV OR CAMPER!!! Stumbled across this amazing network yesterday, and I’m so glad I could share their story! Luckily, the medical professionals in my family have safe spaces to stay, but many don’t. If you happen to not be using your RV or Camper, this seems like an incredible way to give those on the front lines peace of mind for their families and a good night sleep! https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2020/04/02/rv-s-for-md-s-gives-medical-workers-a-safe-place-to-sleep?cid=share_clip

Pretty crazy to see how high the water reached on Ocracoke. This was posted by one of the local businesses earlier. Emergency crews are already on the island helping residents.

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your outpouring of love and concern for Ocracoke and the residents. Everyone I have talked to has been absolutely and truly overwhelmed with the help and care that is pouring in. We are so grateful to you all. ❤️💕
