WILMINGTON, NC (WECT)- City leaders are disappointed but not surprised that Revolution is leaving Wilmington. 

Giancarlo Esposito confirmed in a text message to our Frances Weller on Friday night that NBC is moving the hit series to Texas.

Councilman Kevin O'Grady said it seems the story line was moving them away from the Port City.

"They had always made allusions to Texas in the show, and I was thinking if they go to Texas, that it would be hard to imagine Texas here," he said. "We don't have that dry, arroyo type location. So, it's not a complete shock. We have lots of film work and other shows here now and there will be more coming."

NBC announced that Revolution would be picked up for the 2013-14 season a few weeks ago but did not indicate then if the show would be coming back to Wilmington.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Hurricane season starts June 1 and New Hanover County is fully capable of email and text alerts when the Emergency Operations Center is established, but the capability changes for events that are not countywide.

Vital information from the EOC can be shared with citizens through email or text message if they sign up for "emergency information" updates. The service is available through the county's website, but it misses two components.

One is any emergency considered more local, like a gas leak or police stand-off. If the EOC is not operational, there is no update to send.

Two is the sign-up system. Nowhere in the description of the 4me sign-up system are the words "reverse notification."
