Mississippi among 15 states rejecting new summer food aid for children
SUMMARY: The USDA announced that nearly 21 million children will receive expanded grocery benefits this summer in all but 15 states. This is the first launch of the new permanent grocery program called Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer. Eligible families will receive $40 per month for each child, with 70% of eligible children covered in the program's inaugural launch. Many Republican state officials in the 15 states that did not opt into the program stated that they did not need the funds or had existing programs in place. They also expressed concerns about the long-term impact and nutritional promotion of the new program.

WCBI/MSU Storm Chase Day 4 Recap – Home – WCBI TV
SUMMARY: A storm chase group traveled from Oklahoma City to Big Lake, TX and Midland/Odessa, encountering severe storms with potential baseball-sized hail. The storms lacked low-level shear but had decent mid & upper level shear that allowed for organization. They witnessed hailstones up to 3″ in size and experienced a separate severe storm on the way back to the hotel in Odessa, which produced an impressive mammatus cloud field. They captured a cool shot of departing storms and immediate clearing caused by a miniature area of low pressure. The group documented their experiences and shared images on social media.
