SUMMARY: A storage facility in Miami Gardens caught fire, sending one firefighter to the hospital with minor injuries. The Miami-Dade Fire Department received the alarm shortly after 10 a.m. and initially dispatched 25 units, later calling in 10 more for assistance. Crews faced challenges due to heavy smoke and fire inside the two-level structure. Firefighters used ladder trucks and cut into the roof to ventilate the area. So far, three storage units were confirmed affected, with further investigations ongoing to assess damage and determine the fire’s cause. CBS News Miami’s Naya Carrero reported on the incident.

SUMMARY: As the November election approaches, reporters are highlighting voter concerns, particularly in The Villages, a prominent retirement community in Sumpter County. Diverse opinions on candidates like Donald Trump and Kamala Harris reflect economic worries and dissatisfaction with both parties. Many seniors express frustration with political promises and the current state of governance. Notably, Harris is attracting significant attention, potentially shifting traditional voting patterns, as recent polls show her outperforming Trump among seniors—a demographic known for high voter turnout. With only 46 days until the election, every vote becomes crucial in this pivotal moment.

The battle for Florida’s senior voters is raging in Sumter County. The typically ruby red zone has seen a flash of blue with Vice President Kamala Harris now at the top of the Democratic ticket. She’s brought some momentum and engaged older voters in an area that former President Donald Trump won by more than 30 points in 2020.

SUMMARY: Attention is focused on a disturbance in the Western Caribbean, now with a 60% chance of formation. There are additional areas of interest in the Atlantic, with other disturbances showing 10% to 30% chances of development. The main system is likely to develop near the Yucatan and will be influenced by high-pressure systems and warm Gulf waters, promoting strengthening. Two potential tracks are emerging based on different models, with increasing agreement on a possible formation that could impact the Louisiana-Alabama Gulf Coast. The Storm Team will monitor and provide updates as the situation evolves throughout the week.

A fourth tropical disturbance formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday, as the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season hits peak season. A tropical depression could form late next week in the Gulf of Mexico from a potential disturbance in the Caribbean Sea. If it becomes a storm, it would be known as Tropical Storm Helene, the eighth named storm of the 2024 season.
