Prosecutors seek more time in attempted Trump assassination case after hurricanes | National
SUMMARY: Federal prosecutors in Florida sought a brief delay in court deadlines for the case against 58-year-old Routh, accused of stalking and attempting to kill former President Donald Trump. Due to office closures from recent hurricanes, they requested a two-day extension for the initial discovery deadline. Routh, who has pleaded not guilty, was charged with several felonies including attempted assassination. Evidence includes a sniper nest near Trump’s golf course containing a rifle linked to Routh. Authorities found a handwritten note in Routh’s vehicle offering money to anyone who would complete the assassination, which his attorney dismissed as a publicity stunt.

Science of the Surge: USF team studies wave heights and reopening of Midnight Pass
SUMMARY: Storm surge poses significant challenges to coastal communities, especially highlighted by Hurricane Milton’s damage, which opened the Midnight Pass after over a century. Scientists at the University of South Florida (USF) are studying the impact of such storms, focusing on barrier islands as vital defenses. Research aims to enhance understanding and resilience against natural forces rather than fighting them. Teams are measuring sea level changes, examining debris, and documenting wildlife in the newly formed pass, which has revitalized local ecosystems. The findings will guide better urban planning to coexist with nature and mitigate future storm risks.
Hurricanes Helene and Milton were both record-breaking storms — hundred-year events that happened a few weeks apart.
