While Harvey ravages the Gulf Coast, some in Connecticut are stepping up to provide relief. This hour, we hear about their efforts and find out how you, too, can support the storm’s victims.
Plus: tragedy aboard the USS John S. McCain. What can we glean from this month's fatal Seventh Fleet collision? We take a closer look.
