Along with everything that has already been happening, a news broadcaster's story almost came to a tragic end while she was busy with a live broadcast.
News reporter Amber Roberts was standing on the Hiddenite Bridge, along with her photojournalist Jon Monte, while she was discussing the major flood damage in Alexander County.
