97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell details the latest storm updates and news on Thursday, August 8. Tropical Storm Debby dropped a lot of rain and storm debris on the area, and the community is experiencing several road closures and power outages. That includes stretches without working traffic signals in Chapel Hill and a Pittsboro water plant going offline, leading residents to being asked to conserve water. Beyond the inclement weather, former Congressman David Price shares his reasoning behind the choice of I-40 and U.S. 15-501 for his dedication sign; while one restaurant closes in Chapel Hill, reports are another is stepping into the space; two Tar Heels compete in the Paris Olympics; and a recent Carolina grad goes viral after tagging along with Simone Biles’ husband in France.
