On this week's episode of "Tying It Together with Tim Boyum," we ask whether North Carolina is ready for another big hurricane. With parts of Eastern North Carolina still rebuilding roughly a year after Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Dorian is lurking off the coast. Weather On the One's Meteorologist Lee Ringer talks about the challenges of forecasting an ever-changing weather phenomenon. North Carolina Department of Transportation Secretary Jim Trogdon and N.C. Department of Environmental Quality Secretary Michael Regan tell us their lasting memories from Hurricane Florence, what they learned from that storm, and how the state is better prepared for future storms.
