First responders reflect on Louisville tornado decade later
SUMMARY: Community members in Louisville, Mississippi gathered to honor the first responders and firefighters who were on the front lines ten years ago when a devastating tornado hit the town. The responders, including Chief Robert Hutto, reflected on the tragic day and the lessons they learned about response, communication, and coordination. The tragedy changed their perspectives and taught them the importance of working together. As they lay a wreath in honor of moving forward, they remember the lives lost and the need to continue to support each other in the face of future disasters. The city will ring church bells and blow air horns to commemorate the anniversary.

SUMMARY: A federal judge has granted a motion to delay the trial for Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba and two other local leaders implicated in a bribery scandal. The decision was made due to the case’s complexity, with significant evidence needing review. Lumumba, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, and City Councilman Aaron Banks face charges related to conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering linked to an alleged bribery scheme involving over $80,000 in payments from fictitious developers. The trio has pleaded not guilty. This scandal adds to ongoing issues in Jackson regarding water and policing disputes.

SUMMARY: As Thanksgiving approaches, U.S. air travel is expected to hit record levels, with nearly 80 million Americans traveling, predominantly by car. The TSA anticipates screening 18.3 million passengers during the holiday week, with Sunday likely breaking a record for airport traffic. Despite ongoing air traffic controller shortages, TSA staffing is high enough to maintain manageable security wait times. Weather remains a wildcard, with rain and snow predicted in several regions. Travelers are advised to arrive early to airports and avoid lithium-ion batteries in checked luggage. Traffic congestion is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, easing by Thanksgiving Day.
