Morning weather forecast: 10/8/2024
SUMMARY: Good morning! Temperatures started in the lower 40s and upper 30s, climbing to near 50 by afternoon. A chilly morning requires jackets, but it will warm up with clear blue skies. We’re currently monitoring Hurricane Milton, a category 4 storm with winds at 145 mph, predicted to strengthen to a category 5 before making landfall near Tampa between Cedar Key and Cape Coral. Locally, expect pleasant temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s, with mornings in the low to mid 40s. Warmer weather is anticipated this weekend, with highs reaching the upper 70s to near 80.
All eyes are on the tropics as Hurricane Milton continues to look menacing as it approaches the Florida coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Back in the Bluegrass, beautiful weather still holds, but a brief warm up is coming, followed by another blast of cool air. Stay tuned!

Lawmakers demand review of Treasury Department’s oversight of shrimp imports | Louisiana
SUMMARY: House Committee Chairman James Comer and Representatives Clay Higgins and Troy Nehls are urging the U.S. Government Accountability Office to investigate the Treasury Department’s compliance with laws protecting American industries, particularly the shrimping sector, from foreign competition. They express concerns that since 2004, U.S. representatives in international financial institutions have predominantly supported foreign projects that harm U.S. industries, including shrimp. The legislators cite that U.S. shrimp markets face significant competition from imports, particularly from India, which raises ethical issues like forced labor and environmental degradation on shrimp farms. They seek assurance that U.S. interests are adequately safeguarded.

The oldest known Kentucky WWII Veteran reflects on life, D-Day
SUMMARY: Oakley Hacker, believed to be the oldest World War II veteran in Kentucky, recently celebrated his 108th birthday. Born on October 2, 1916, and serving in the U.S. Navy for nearly five years, Hacker achieved the rank of Gunners Mate Second Class and played a crucial role in the D-Day invasion, overseeing gunnery support. After returning home, he worked various jobs until retiring at 92 due to declining eyesight. Now residing at the Paul E. Patton Eastern Kentucky Veteran Center, Hacker is visited frequently by his daughter, who cherishes their memories together. He remains proud of his service and family, which includes grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
You’ve probably heard the saying “Age is just a number,” but imagine being over 100 years old—108 to be exact.
