SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton has caused extensive damage in Florida, affecting over 3 million residents with power outages and severe flooding. Flood warnings are widespread, especially after tornadoes touched down, resulting in at least two fatalities and destruction of around 100 homes in St. Lucie County. The storm’s high winds damaged the roof of Tropicana Field, which had been used as a temporary shelter. As residents evacuate, many are seeking refuge in neighboring states and struggling to find accommodations. Recovery efforts are underway, with significant impacts reported in Fort Myers, where standing water and storm surge have compounded the destruction.

Hurricane Milton brought powerful winds, a deadly storm surge and flooding to much of Florida after making landfall along the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm. It weakened to a Category 1 storm as it moved through Florida early Thursday. Power outages were widespread and deaths have been reported from severe weather.

SUMMARY: A man was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Big Apple restaurant early this morning, alarming local residents. The incident, which occurred before 2 a.m., woke nearby resident Mary Bowen, who noted this is not the first shooting in the area. While the police have yet to make arrests, residents expressed concerns about escalating violence in the neighborhood. Mary suggested closing the bar or relocating it to reduce disturbances, as fights and gunshots have become more frequent. Local business owners, like Jose Diaz, acknowledged the bar’s popularity but lamented the sad turn of events.

One military widow said that the community has changed significantly in the 34 years she’s lived there.

SUMMARY: Donald Trump holds a slight polling lead over Kamala Harris in North Carolina, with 48.2%-47.3% and 48.7%-48.2% margins from Project 538 and RealClear Polling. Both candidates are in a toss-up position as early in-person voting starts next week, with Election Day approaching in 25 days. North Carolina is a critical battleground state worth 16 electoral votes, essential for both candidates to secure victory. Historically, Trump has outperformed polling in the state, winning previously against Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton despite being in close races. Key recent polls reflect a competitive landscape as Trump and Harris campaign intensively.

SUMMARY: In just 11 days, we’ve accomplished 33% of our yearly goals by maximizing daily runs, with nearly 98 planes on Friday and 95 on Saturday, totaling around 400 planes overall. We’ve received great support from various states, including North Dakota, Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, and Florida. A medical plane from Kentucky checks in daily to address our needs. Witnessing the devastation in the affected areas, we strive to contribute positively in tough times. As the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the mountain people get going. I’ll remain until the last plane arrives.
