Hurricane Milton Hits Category 5 — Florida Issues Evacuations and Rushes to Clear Debris from Helene

Good Afternoon, it is Monday October 7th, and we're covering Hurricane Milton Hits Category 5 — Florida Issues Evacuations and Rushes to Clear Debris from Helene some big investing tips & much more!! First time reading?                                                                         American Fact of the Day!  While Wilma made landfall later in October, it was on October 7 that it intensified into a powerful Category 5 storm in the Caribbean. Wilma went on to be one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic.                                                                         Breaking Updates   Hurricane Milton is a Category 5. Florida orders evacuations and scrambles to clear Helene’s debris  Milton strengthened rapidly Monday into a Category 5 hurricane on a path toward Florida, threatening the densely populated Tampa area with a potential direct hit and menacing the same stretch of coastline that was battered by Hurricane Helene less than two weeks ago.  The center of the storm could come ashore Wednesday in the Tampa Bay region, which has not endured a head-on hit by a major hurricane in more than a century. Scientists expect the system to weaken slightly before landfall, though it could retain hurricane strength as it churns across central Florida toward the Atlantic Ocean. That would largely spare other states ravaged by Helene, which killed at least 230 people on its path from Florida to the Appalachian Mountains.  [Read More Here](~/AAST1QA~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~~) Panera settles with first plaintiff in Charged Lemonade wrongful death suits  Panera Bread has settled with the family of an Ivy League student with a heart condition who died after drinking the chain’s highly caffeinated Charged Lemonade drink.  Sarah Katz, 21, was a University of Pennsylvania student with a heart condition called long QT syndrome type 1 who avoided energy drinks per her doctors’ recommendations, according to a lawsuit filed last year in Philadelphia.  The suit said that Katz bought a Charged Lemonade from a Panera restaurant in September 2022. Her roommate and close friend told NBC News that she went into cardiac arrest hours later.  [Read More Here](~/AAST1QA~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~~)                                                                           American Sports & Culture College Football Power Rankings: How did Week 6 chaos affect the top 25?  Was something in the air this weekend?
