The storm made landfall on the southern end of Elbow Cay on the Caribbean islands on Sunday in the first Category 5 storm there since 1992. The storm also hit Grand Bahama island hard with high winds and torrential rainfall. Videos from residents on Great Abaco island showed trees bending and heavy rain as winds up to 180 miles per hour tore roofs from buildings and caused severe flooding across the Caribbean islands....

A westward jog in Fiona’s track since this weekend may be just enough to keep the hurricane’s dangerous and damaging eye wall to the west of Bermuda. However, based on the latest forecast track, hurricane-force gusts are likely to impact the islands from late Thursday into early Friday. Building codes in Bermuda are strict and require that structures are designed to handle 110 mph sustained winds and higher gusts. Still, some power outages are likely on the islands, and AccuWeather forecasters have rated Fiona, which was packing 115 mph sustained winds and moving north-northwest at 9 mph on Tuesday, a 2 on the AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes for the islands of Bermuda....

Widespread “catastrophic” flooding is expected across Florida on Thursday, with hurricane-force winds continuing to do damage across central and eastern parts of the state, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Ian brought maximum sustained wind speeds of around 75 miles per hour on Thursday morning, the NHC reports, with the hurricane making its way towards the western Atlantic while continuing to lose strength. More than 2.3 million Floridians are without power, according to PowerOutage....

How bad can it be? Early indications say it could be worst than hurricanes Katrina or Rita, which both wreaked havoc over the Louisiana coast in 2005. Hurricane Laura had been a rather peculiar, unorganized storm until the last few days, when she went from a disgruntled system over the Lesser Antilles to a slow-moving storm over Hispaniola to a fiery spirit who wanted to make her 2020 presence known as well....

Nicole was upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane as it made landfall in the Bahamas with 75 mph winds on Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center. As Hurricane Nicole hit Daytona Beach, Fox Weather reporter Robert Ray began sharing videos showcasing the intensity of the storm. One clip posted on Thursday and since viewed over 6,000 times, showed sea foam coating the sidewalks and railings as waves moved deeper inland away from the beach at a rapid pace....

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Symptoms Some symptoms of hypoplastic left heart syndrome might include: Difficulty breathingRacing heartbeatPale or bluish colorWeak pulse These symptoms might not start right away. Because of the anatomy of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and normal prenatal circulation, symptoms might only begin a few days after birth. If surgery isn’t performed, hypoplastic left heart syndrome always leads to infant death, as the organs of the body don’t get enough blood....

Research shows people with RA are more likely to develop underactive thyroid disease, including hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. And that connection appears to go both ways in that people with thyroid disease have a higher risk for RA. Here is what you need to know about underactive thyroid conditions and how they are connected to RA. Your Thyroid Your thyroid is the tiny butterfly-shaped gland in your neck and is made up of two lobes located on both sides of the trachea (windpipe)....

There were five changes and six new players from his previous squad, as Tite surprisingly selected a 24-man squad despite only being able to select 23 for his matchday squad. Taison, Rodrigo Caio, Fagner, Giuliano and Luan were all dropped from last month’s group. READ MORE: What did Tite learn from WCQ? | Willian states Brazil case | Tite names new Brazil squad Monaco defender Jemerson and Flamengo playmaker Diego returned, while there were first call-ups under the current coach for Gremio defensive midfielder Arthur, Manchester City full-back Danilo, Shakhtar midfielder Fred and Shandong Luneng striker Diego Tardelli....

Currently 5.05 percent, the payout on these bonds could jump to more than 6 percent on Nov. 1 when they are next adjusted. That’s not a bad deal for interest that’s exempt from local and state taxes, federally tax-deferred, guaranteed by Uncle Sam and sold at any bank or the Treasury’s Web site at www.savingsbonds.gov.

The revisions will take effect in 1994. The biggest change is in the mathematical questions on the aptitude test, which will be renamed the Scholastic Assessment Test, or SAT I. About 15 of the 60 math questions will require computation and short answers; there will be no multiple choices to pick from. Students will be allowed to use calculators. “That begins to send a message to schools that it is the problem-solving ability that is important and not just the ability to select the correct answer,” says retiring Harvard president Derek Bok, cochairman of an advisory panel of 15 educators who reviewed the changes....

Interestingly, Komal Thatal has been left out of the Arrows squad by the Portuguese coach. It must be noted that the 17-year-old was fielded in the opening Under-17 World Cup clash against USA but was benched in the subsequent games against Colombia and Ghana. It is believed that the former Benfica B coach didn’t play him in the final two Under-17 World Cup games owing to his size. Komal is a free player and is in talks with at least three Indian Super League (ISL) teams....

Next in line is Gokulam Kerala FC, a club which is set to end Kerala’s long wait for a club in India’s primary football division. The North Eastern Re-Organising Cultural Association Football Club (NEROCA FC) is one of two teams who is debuting into Indian domestic club football’s top tier this season along with Gokulam Kerala FC. This is how their squad looks like for I-League 2017: Goalkeepers: Nikhil Bernard, Bilal Khan, Priyant Kumar, Ajmal PA....

My first husband, who died three and a half years ago, was part of the 160th Special Operations unit deployed in 1993 to Somalia, where two Black Hawk helicopters were downed. Five of our dearest friends were killed during that mission. To my everlasting horror, I watched on CNN as the bodies of two of them were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu by a riotous crowd. My then 8-year-old daughter went to school the next day and saw a picture of one of the soldiers on the front page of our local paper....

Right now, Salle is shooting “Search and Destroy” in New York. It’s a dark comedy about a promoter (Griffin Dunne) hustling a movie idea to a maverick TV evangelist, played by Dennis Hopper. Longo is ensconced in Toronto (where the exchange rate is kind to movie budgets) shooting “Johnny Mnemonic,” from an early William Gibson cyberpunk story; his film stars Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren and Longo’s new wife, German actress Barbara Sukowa....

Three and a half years ago, I sued President Obama. At the heart of the lawsuit was a question, which, if answered by the judiciary, had the possibility of shaking the foundation of America’s current era of Forever War. What was the question? I asked if President Obama, unilaterally and without explicit Congressional consent, had the authority to deploy U.S. troops into combat indefinitely in the war against ISIS....

Duke assistant coach Chris Carrawell was scouting Villanova before his team took the floor on Saturday. He told The Sporting News what he was looking for. “I’m looking at everything Villanova runs,” Carrawell explained. “[Collin] Gillespie, their best player, how does he get his shots? What are their plays? What do they do on defense? We’re not paying attention to the score. We watch five, six, seven games on video....

In 2011, I joined hundreds of thousands of my fellow Bahrainis in calling for democratic reform. Inspired by the Arab Spring protests in Egypt and Tunisia, we were confident the world would support our uprising. But for Bahrain’s allies, it was an inconvenient revolution; Bahrain is a key American partner in the Gulf and hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet. So when Saudi and Emirati troops were invited to crush the protests, we were thrown under the bus....

Like Senator Biden, my grandmother was from a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania. She demonstrated her pro-life values by choosing life for her six children, including one born when she was 46 years old. She, too, was a Democrat because she was dedicated to helping the poor, the vulnerable and those cast aside. Incidentally, my grandmother had a strong devotion to St. Joseph, the namesake of Senator Biden. She was a teacher married to a lawyer....
