“Russell and Flynn” hosted mornings on WBT from 1987-1990, and were on the air on September 22, 1989, as the powerful storm made landfall in South Carolina and then took an unexpected detour through Charlotte. The damage totaled $464 million in NC alone, including the loss of 4800 trees in our local community. Many people lost power for several weeks.
