"Hurricane Aftermath (1650 UTC Friday Sept 27) - The winds are gone here in Okeechobee. We got through the night with no further problems. Everything is operating normally, except our Transmitter 11 (7570 kHz), which had a problem with the coil -- apparently not related to the hurricane. We're trying to get it fixed before tonight's broadcast begins. Thanks for all of the messages you have sent us. We dodged a big one this time!"

Some of WRMI frequencies were off as a result of Hurricane Helene impacting their Florida transmitter site. This is the latest update on their Facebook page (albeit 12 hours ago):
Update (0230 UTC Friday September 27) -
We now have very high winds at our transmitter site in Okeechobee, and the following frequencies are now off the air: 5010, 5050, 5800, 7570 and 9455 kHz. The following frequencies are still on the air at the moment: 5850, 5950, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9955 and 15770 kHz. We will keep these frequencies on the air as long as we can. We hope the winds will begin to die down overnight.
