but again this goes back to if you see something, say something and students did see something. and now we re telling you about a tragedy averted as opposed to telling you about something that has just happened. look, and that s the good news of this, martin, for sure. it really does seem like we ve seen more and more of this over the last few weeks since el paso. but it doesn t make it any less chilling that this young man moved to north carolina because he thought it would be easier to carry out this attack. martin savidge, thank you for your reporting. on a lighter note, how does a chicken restaurant run out of chicken? the popeyes frenzy for their chicken sandwich has some people asking is this legit or a marketsing ploy? we ll discuss next.
keep going straight for that matter. there s been a little bit of a change in the track since yesterday. the big thing to note this morning are the numbers at landfall is 125 miles per hour. it s an 85. mile per hour starm right now. hurricane hunter about to get into the storm. it radar about to lose it. it s just going to be too far away from puerto rico to see it for a very long time. there s nothing to see in the turks and caicos, and there s one out liar way up in jacksonville. here is the big difference. here s what happened in the overnight model. we go from jacksonville landfall here where this is 8:00 p.m. last night, we lose zulu or one weatherman doesn t talk to another weatherman and say that s going to be 12:00, and is it 12:00 your time or 12:00 my
