Hurricane Adalia hits Florida's Big Bend with category three strength
Hurricane Adalia made landfall in Florida's Big Bend with 125 mile per hour winds, causing significant damage and triggering evacuation orders. Despite the destruction, FEMA Administrator Deann Chriswell expressed confidence in Florida's ability to restore power quickly with the substantial mutual aid support. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reported that although the eye of the hurricane had left the state, the storm's impacts, particularly in the northern region, were still being felt. With over 250,000 accounts currently without power, efforts are underway to restore power to affected areas.
Pentagon officials focused on climate change initiative during chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal
Emails obtained by the Daily Wire reveal that while the Biden administration was dealing with the chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan, top Pentagon officials were working on finalizing a climate adaptation plan. The plan, signed by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin just two days after the withdrawal ended, declared climate change a major national security threat. Critics argue that during such a critical time, the attention of Pentagon officials should have been solely focused on evacuating Americans and allies safely from Afghanistan rather than on other initiatives.
