Mississippi sees steady turnout at polls for primary
SUMMARY: As of 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 8, there has been a steady turnout at the polls in Mississippi. However, there have been some issues reported, including power outages in Washington County that temporarily rendered two voting machines unavailable. Some polling places also experienced minor delays in opening. Precincts in Madison County and Leflore County ran out of Republican and Democratic ballots respectively, but have since been replenished. Additionally, there have been reports of campaigning within 150 feet of polling places and old voter identification materials containing the picture of the former Secretary of State at certain precincts. Late precinct changes have also occurred in Hinds County. Any problems observed or reported will be referred to the authorities. Polls close at 7:00 p.m. and any voter in line at that time can still cast a ballot. For any questions or issues, voters can contact the Elections Division.

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.

SUMMARY: On Sunday, storm chasers tracked a supercell storm from western to central Oklahoma after initially experiencing a few uneventful days traveling through west Texas and New Mexico. High-based storms developed in the Texas Panhandle around 3 PM, moving into western Oklahoma by late afternoon. 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.
