The spokesperson said the weather models have changed to reflect a sharp easterly turn in Tropical Depression #9 and the potential need for resources has changed.
“OH-TF1 wishes to thank our employers, families and peers for the outpouring of support we receive at every turn. Our prayers continue to be with our friends in the Carolinas as they weather this storm,” the spokesperson said.
