Mike Moore Media, the first place to hear Rocky County News and Information. Starting today with an update on Helene. Emergency officials in western North Carolina say false rumors on social media and AI-generated content and images are impeding their efforts to help tens of thousands of people in need. NC Department of Public Safety urges the public to find and share information from trusted sources. The government is not seizing private property, especially in the chimney-rock area. Donations and volunteers are not being turned away at checkpoints. Governments are not discouraging and confiscating donations. The FAA is not restricting access to the airspace. Local state and federal teams are responding. So far FEMA has provided more than $26 million in housing and other types of assistance to more than $25,000 households and is continuing to accept applications. Contrary to rumors, funding for FEMA response is not being diverted to support international efforts or border-related issues. Federal assistance has surpassed $137 million. The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, and other organizations are on the ground providing meals, water, and shelter. More than 6,600 people have been rescued, evacuated, or assisted. At almost 15 million meals, 20 million liters of water, 160 generators, and more than 30 million dollars in housing and other assistance. Visit North Carolina Department of Public Safety in c dps.gov/haleen for the latest information and resources. Again, that's ncdps.gov/haleen. The death toll now at 230 recovery efforts continue. 140,000 power outages this morning. Haleen is a deadliest hurricane to hit the United States mainland since Katrina in 2005.

It's heading toward Tampa and Orlando, Florida, making landfall Wednesday night and less intense. 4,000 National Guard troops are still in the state, helping remove debris from Haleen.

Today we're enjoying our refreshing beverage and celebrating a bright innovation. Let's talk about the frat pay. A chilled blended coffee drink that has become a favorite for coffee lovers around the world. Originating in Greece the frat pay was famously created by accident in 1957 when a Nestle employee mixed instant coffee, water and ice in a shaker. This frothy delight quickly gained popularity and has since inspired countless variations. Whether you prefer classic or with the modern twist, treat yourself to a frat pay today because it's National Frat Pay Day. So do you think that Nestle employee was like the most popular person at Nestle? Dude he should have became the CEO because this was a great invention. They are fantastic. There's no doubt about it. LED lights have revolutionized the way we illuminate our world. Created in the early 1960s the technology saw significant advancements through the decades. A key moment was when Shuji Nakamura developed the first high brightness blue LED of the 1990s. Eureka! This innovation not only saved energy but also transformed lighting in homes, streets and even screens on our devices. Today let's appreciate the brilliance of LED technology and its impact on our lives. Happy National LED Light Day. I have LED lights everywhere. Everywhere even my yard is all when I needed an LED light. For me there are my flowers and in my vases. I even have a couple of peacocks strutting around outside at our metal and LED lights. Oh you're so fancy. I know. I'm LaToya Johnson. I'm Marlo Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day.
