I really love what we get to do here on the High Wire. We get to bring you news that I know for sure everyone else is afraid to tell you about and this show I guarantee you is going to have some moments that's going to blow your mind.

But right now, we're dealing with a hurricane, Milton, that's just hit Florida.

and just hunker down.
