08.10.2024 โ‡ข The day Hurricane Milton loomed over Florida
โŒจHurricane Milton dominated headlines, intensifying to a Category 5 storm with 165 mph winds as it approached Florida. Mass evacuations were ordered, with officials warning of potentially catastrophic impacts. The storm's rapid strengthening prompted discussions about creating a new Category 6 designation. FEMA faced scrutiny over staffing shortages ahead of landfall. Political tensions arose as VP Harris and Governor DeSantis traded barbs over hurricane response coordination. In other news, Harris's media appearances, including a "60 Minutes" interview, drew attention and criticism. The Supreme Court appeared receptive to upholding Biden's "ghost gun" regulations. Internationally, Israel expanded ground operations in Lebanon on the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks, with Hezbollah launching rockets into northern Israel.
