Faith Radio/Tallahassee Operations Director Ken Burns checks in with HisAir in the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia today.

Ken says, “Two of our seven stations are off but we are otherwise unscathed. But lots of trees were downed and it will be a while before all the power outages are restored. Some of the hardest hit areas are within the primary coverage areas of our two stations that are currently off the air.”
