Body of Dexter Wade exhumed hours before family arrived
SUMMARY: In Hinds County, Mississippi, the body of Dexter Wade was exhumed hours before the time his mother, Bettersten Wade, had been informed it would occur, according to civil rights attorney Ben Crump. Supposedly set for 12:00 p.m. on November 13, the exhumation took place at 8:00 a.m., before the family could arrive. The 37-year-old had left his mother's house on March 5, 2023, and was subsequently hit by a Jackson police cruiser. His mother reported him missing, and it wasn't until August 24 that she was informed of his death. Crump stated that an autopsy's costs will be covered by Campaign Zero, and funeral arrangements are forthcoming.

Red Lobster officially files for bankruptcy: What does it mean for the restaurants?
SUMMARY: Red Lobster has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy shortly after announcing the closure of nearly 100 restaurants. Contributing factors include rising lease and labor costs, inflation, and operational missteps, such as the decision to offer “Ultimate Endless Shrimp” regularly, leading to significant financial losses. The company plans to remain open with a smaller footprint. Thai Union Group, a co-owner, intends to exit its investment. Red Lobster's estimated liabilities range from $1 billion to $10 billion. CEO Jonathan Tibus emphasized that restructuring will address financial challenges and focus on growth. The company will also implement fewer limited-time offers to stabilize finances.

A notable supercell formed between Cheyenne and Woodward, showcasing clear mid-level rotation and an impressive updraft. Throughout the chase, the storm cycled multiple times, producing various wall clouds and funnels. Near Hydro, Oklahoma, a funnel descended low from a rotating wall cloud, though no tornado was directly observed due to possible rain-wrapping.
