All right, let's go. It's Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024.

Hello, it's first thing with Kevin Mano, a quick look at all the headlines.

Real fast, programming, update, we're off to a friend's cabin in North Carolina later today. So after this show I'm not going to be back until Monday after the 4th of July holiday weekend

I hope you have a great one, but today let's go the show starts right now

And it always starts with the top story.

Again today, that historic Hurricane Barrel

is the top headline.

It did change again from a category 5 to a 4 as it heads toward Jamaica.

Wind speeds were recorded at 165 miles per hour.

That's terrifying.

The White House said they have been in contact with FEMA as they monitor the situation.

So far this week, it is crossed islands in the southeast Caribbean, reportedly taking the lives

of at least six people and flattening entire communities. The photos are heartbreaking.

It is expected to pass near Jamaica, possibly over Jamaica early this morning, the Cayman Islands

tomorrow and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Friday, hopefully weakening

significantly as it goes.

All right, okay, on to sports. We'll start with a sad one here, keep it sad for a minute.

The Cleveland Brown's Living mascot, a five-year-old bullmastiff just passed away.

His name was Swagger Jr.

Such a cool dog.

The team posted a message saying, quote,

we are so grateful for his many years of loyal support
