Sea turtle nest found under house on Dauphin Island
SUMMARY: A recently discovered sea turtle nest on Dolphin Island, found under a house, may yield more male hatchlings due to its cooler temperature. Sea turtle genders are influenced by nesting temperatures: below 82ยฐF tends to produce males, while above 83ยฐF usually results in females. The nest’s shaded location keeps the sand cooler, akin to an incubator, affecting both the sex ratio and hatching time, which may exceed the typical 55 to 60 days. The amount of light and heat exposure will ultimately determine when the eggs hatch, potentially complicating the turtles’ emergence timing.
The unusual location of a recently discovered sea turtle nest on Dauphin Island could have an impact on the gender and timing of the hatchlings.

Federal Reserve Cutting Interest Rates | September 18, 2024 | News 19 at 10 p.m.
SUMMARY: A student has been charged with making a terrorist threat. In notable economic news, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates by half a percentage point for the first time in four years. This decision could provide financial relief for citizens in North Alabama, although the benefits may take time to materialize. The rate cut aims to sustain economic strength and support progress on inflation, which has dropped from 9.1% in 2022 to 2.5%. Credit card users may experience immediate relief, while mortgage rates are also expected to decrease. The Fed will closely monitor inflation and unemployment in the coming months.
Americans could be finding more money in their pockets following the Federal Reserve’s announcement of lowering interest rates Wednesday.
