It's a wait and see game as forecasters and residents of Florida brace for Hurricane Ian. Already a category one storm, it's expected to rise to category four by the time it makes landfall. Regardless of where it hits, folks in Tampa are being told to expect the water level there to increase to historic levels. And actor Alec Baldwin is celebrating the birth of his 8th child…number seven with wife Hilaria. However, he may soon have bigger worries than family issues. Prosecutors in New Mexico are said to be close to making a decision about whether to file criminal charges in connection with the fatal onset shooting of cinematographer Halina Hutchins. If charges are warranted, Baldwin is said to be among those who could face charges. He has denied wrongdoing, saying he was told the gun was loaded with blanks and that he did not pull the trigger when Hutchins was accidentally shot. Plus, it's an amusement park danger you may never have thought about…your cell phone. A teenaged girl was rushed to the hospital after she was seriously injured when a cell phone flew off ride and hit her in the head. And the number one show on Netflix this weekend is the miniseries on murderer Jeffrey Dahmer. The film reopens old wounds for some of Dahmer's victims…and as Ann Mercogliano reports...some say the impact of the movie is heightened by the incredible resemblance between the real life killer and the actor who plays him.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
