On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Hurricane Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, is expected to bring rain, high surf, and dangerous rip currents to the Virgin Islands this weekend, prompting safety advisories, port condition changes, and preparation measures for boaters, contractors, and residents. A judge granted prosecutors 30 more days to begin producing discovery in the federal fraud case against Davidson and Sasha Charlamagne, warning that IT personnel may be called to testify if delays continue. Lawmakers voted 7–6 to reprimand and suspend Senator Angel Bolques Jr. without pay for 30 days following an ethics investigation. Fly The Whale will launch three new daily round-trip flights between St. Croix and San Juan on September 15, while JetBlue is adding daily nonstop Boston–St. Thomas service starting December 18. Listen to these stories and more.
