This evening on 12 News: I got an exclusive look at the repairs to the Conimicut Lighthouse. We visited the light 2 years ago…it was in pretty bad shape. Now, it looks brand new. That story on 12 News at 4. @wpri12

Earlier today…waiting for clearance for take off. — with @Kate_mwilkinson

Emergency Announcement: Due to the finding of a critical failure of some original 1960's bridge components, we will close the westbound side of the Washington Bridge. Initially, all the westbound lanes will be closed and traffic diverted to alternate routes. In the next two to three weeks, we’ll move traffic to two lanes on the eastbound side at which time permanent repairs will begin on the westbound side. This will require a closure of two lanes on I-195 East in the area of Exit 1A (India Street) starting at 9 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, December 12. Depending on the severity of what is found from the initial work, the repair could take three months or more. Beginning immediately and during the time that it takes to make the repairs and reopen the westbound side, travelers are asked to take the marked detour routes.

A local corn maze was shaped into the profile of a long-time farmer who was known as "Mr. Fourth of July". --with @skydrone12 wpri.com/dont-miss/loca…

Messy morning commute heading into Providence. @MelissaSardelli is checking your drive times and delays caused by this incident on 95 near Thurbers Ave. @wpri12

This is the strongest tornado to hit Rhode Island since August 7, 1986 when a tornado touched down in Cranston and moved into Providence.

The Scituate Director of Public Works said the damage from this tornado rivaled the damage from the Blizzard of '78. Wow. This was an EF-2 tornado with winds of 115mph.

Flight restrictions in place again today (Saturday). No drone flying within this orange circle. @wpri12

Temporary Flight Restriction in the area of the large #Exeter brush fire. No drone flying as firefighting helicopters will be used to extinguish the fire.

Orange circle is the Temporary Flight Restriction issued for today in the West Greenwich Exeter area.

Rocket launch visible from Southern New England this evening. The two hour launch window opens at 6PM. We’ll see it 2 minutes after launch. Look south. Best place to see it? Misquamicut to Narragansett Beaches, Newport Beaches…or any south-facing beach. @wpri12
