Partly sunny. High: 62 Low: 30.

Here are the top stories today in Durham:

  1. The Triangle community has come together in a big way to raise over $25,000 for a couple that received a stage 4 cancer diagnosis while pregnant with twins. Venelina Vateva gave birth to the children, but also learned that she has a rare mutation that is preventing medicine from helping alleviate her cancer. (WRAL)
  2. Raleigh-Durham International Airport was unable to serve some passengers due to a water leak that caused a major power outage on Friday morning. The water leaked onto an electrical box causing an outage that impacted ticketing, security, and gate bridges, as well as other systems. (WXII12)
  3. Durham County continues to see increased demand for housing, but according to ABC11's I-Team, more than 21% of single-family home sales in the area have been purchased by buyers who have purchased more than one property. (abc11)
