SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is making its final approach to Florida’s west coast, expected to make landfall tonight as a major Category 3 storm with winds at 130 mph. The storm’s movement is notably north-northeast at 15 mph, increasing risks to Tampa Bay and areas south, including Sarasota and Fort Myers, facing catastrophic storm surge. Severe weather, including tornadoes, has already impacted Central Florida.

Residents are urged to prioritize safety, seeking shelter away from flood-prone zones and standing water.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, causing an eerie scene in normally bustling Clearwater Beach as it remains a major hurricane. Connor Hansen reports from Tampa, where winds and rain intensify as landfall nears, expected in about 12 hours. Tornadoes have already been reported in South Florida.

Round Rock, Texas student gets perfect ACT score | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Cedar Ridge High School senior Joy Wright achieved a perfect ACT score of 36, a feat accomplished by only 0.25% of test-takers. Despite a busy schedule that includes leadership roles in several honor societies and extracurricular activities, Joy prioritized her preparation by reading extensively to develop her vocabulary and grammar skills. The ACT is set to undergo significant changes in 2025, including shorter passages and fewer questions, to allow students more time to answer thoughtfully. Joy encourages peers to focus on their weak areas and recommends reading older texts to enhance familiarity with formal language.
