That’s a wrap on my first week (permanently) on the morning show! While I’m not in love with waking up at 3am, I am *psyched* to anchor the noon Thurs/Fri ☀️ PS - I forced Rich Caniglia to take this photo with me so I could congratulate him on 25 years(!!!) at WHEC this week

What are YOU being for Halloween? Personally, I might go back and get this inflatable chicken costume…only 12 bucks!

From Flower City to Sin City! Rochester now has the first nonstop flight to Las Vegas since 2008. To celebrate, county exec Adam Bello and the team at Visit Rochester threw the travelers a party! The ~5hr flight will run 4 times a week to start ✈️🎰

Looking for something to get you in the Halloween spirit? How about 700+ skeletons, dozens of animatronics, and 10 acres of fright? I spent the morning at “Haunted Housel” in Canandaigua. Karl Housel builds (almost) the whole thing himself See the story tonight on News10NBC 👻

Today I spoke with some fifth graders at Genesee Community Charter School. When they learned about the history of voting rights, they were upset to learn some adults don’t vote So, they did something to change that. See the story tonight on News10NBC

The polls are open and the voters are here! I’m live at East High School all morning. The BOE is expecting about 213 thousand people in Monroe Co. coming out in person to make their voices heard today! We’ll be following the polls all day and into tonight on News10NBC

I’m on Stone Road in Greece, looking at a house almost completely leveled Neighbors tell me they heard a massive boom around 4:45 a.m. The family in the home was taken to the hospital, but are expected to recover. I’m told they just moved in three months ago

Investigators say it will likely take some time to determine what caused this explosion The neighbors house caught on fire, but first responders were able to put it out before it got inside Hear from that family on News10NBC at noon

Despite the loss, and despite the cold the Bills Mafia came out to the Buffalo airport to cheer as the team lands. Folks here tell me they’ll support the Bills no matter what!

I’m in between Waterloo & Geneva where NYSP have Waterloo/Geneva road shut down leading to the NYSP station. Waterloo CSD on a two hour delay and is citing a shelter in place due to a “serious incident.” We’re working to confirm the details on what that incident is News10NBC

UPDATE: Subject is in custody. Was barricaded inside, considered “armed and dangerous.” State police and other agencies are still working the scene, but say they will give details later in the morning. News10NBC

Waterloo-Geneva road is back open - but police are still investigating. Scene has shrunk to the Maillard Crossing trailer home neighborhood. Again, that individual who posed a threat is in custody.
