WAYNESVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — More than graffiti is appearing on the bathroom stalls of Waynesville businesses, someone is writing bomb threats. The threats have appeared multiple times with many impacts, and each time, police are taking them seriously. Waynesville Police Chief David Adams said the series of bomb threats in Waynesville this month alone is up to eight, all with a similar MO. It all started on April 1 at Walmart and again at Walmart ten days later, forcing evacuations.

Helene swamped Canton's recreation park causing considerable damage. Mayor Smathers understands there are bigger projects in our mountains but says repairing the recreation facilities will do a lot to lift spirits. He’s urging contractors to accept bids. @WLOS_13 #LiveonWLOS https://t.co/rpe2kimfDe
In many ways, Helene is not over. The storm re-sculpted our rivers and streams, making many areas vulnerable to more damage. That's what happened with heavy rainfall earlier this week in Haywood Co. In Maggie Valley, the storm broke a main sewer line. @WLOS_13 #LiveonWLOS https://t.co/6wsT1xjPwR
President Trump wants more timber production from our national forests. It will have impacts on the Pisgah & Nantahala Nat’l Forests in the Blue Ridge mountains. The announcement of the administration's plan comes with some pushback from legal organizations @WLOS_13 #LiveonWLOS https://t.co/htzeOKkckw
