‼️75 NORTH CLOSED JUST OVER BRENT SPENCE‼️
(6/18/26 @ 6 AM)
We were initially told this closure on 75 North (just over the Brent Spence Bridge) was a crash, but now being told it is due to high water.
You CAN go 71 North, but the delays are stretching well into Northern KY.

And Meteorologist Allison Rogers and Meteorologist Sabrina Bates are doing the same.
This team has been going around the clock! ♥️

First time getting this alert on my phone.
Already awake, but definitely made me jump!
Just sharing for anyone who heads out early!

Up early with my friends.
Really appreciate Kevin Robinson WLWT and Meteorologist Allison Rogers right now.

Shout out to City of Fort Mitchell, KY for the Touch-a-Truck event last night!
This was our second year & the boys always have so much fun!
Loved the addition if the Kenton County Public Library!
It reminded us we need to go grab books soon.
