Erin Stone: 飓风希拉里残余给南加州带来严重洪水，部分地区道路被淹，学校停课，民众被建议待在家中。尽管如此，实际影响不如最初预期的严重，这得益于民众的提前准备和政府的预警措施。
此次风暴是几十年来首次登陆南加州的热带风暴，打破了南加州多地的日降雨量纪录。山区和沙漠社区受灾最为严重，发生泥石流和洪水，紧急救援人员进行了数十次救援和疏散行动。地震与风暴不相关，只是巧合。
风暴预计很快减弱，南加州的天气将恢复晴朗。
MPS: 危地马拉改革派候选人贝纳多·阿雷瓦洛赢得总统大选，以压倒性优势获胜。阿雷瓦洛是一位反腐败斗士，他的胜利被视为对该国长期腐败的反抗。
阿雷瓦洛来自一个小党派，几乎没有资金支持，却在竞选中获胜。他的胜利给危地马拉带来了希望，但他也面临着来自国会的阻力以及司法部门的潜在指控。尽管如此，现任总统已经祝贺他当选并表示愿意协助权力交接。
Blaise Gainey: 田纳西州立法机关就公共安全问题举行特别会议，但枪支改革并非主要议题。会议将主要关注精神健康、法官量刑和背景调查等方面。
共和党占多数的立法机关此前表示，他们希望关注其他公共安全问题，而不是枪支改革。虽然一些与枪支相关的措施被提出，例如鼓励枪支安全储存的公共服务宣传活动和免费枪支锁的提供，但更严格的枪支管制措施，例如“红旗法”，预计不会被讨论。
此外，会议还将讨论提高青少年记录封存年龄和降低青少年被判为成年人年龄的提案，以及改进背景调查报告要求的措施。尽管青少年犯罪率下降，但使用枪支犯罪的案件却有所上升。许多学生和家长仍然在呼吁枪支改革。
