Florida communities are grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which resulted in 16 confirmed deaths and significant damage. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with one person dying and 23 being rescued after an elevator malfunction at a tourist mine in Colorado. Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama spoke at a rally for Kamala Harris, emphasizing the importance of “real strength” in leadership.
In Florida, millions of customers are still without electricity, and first responders have been working to save residents from flooded areas. Despite the devastation, residents remain resilient, with some rebuilding their homes multiple times in recent years. Signs of normalcy are beginning to emerge, with airports and theme parks expected to reopen.
In Colorado, an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the elevator malfunction at the tourist mine that led to one death and trapped 12 people underground. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission criticized a Fisher-Price recall of Snuga Swings, linked to the deaths of five infants.
Former President Obama’s speech in support of Kamala Harris highlighted the importance of true strength in leadership, contrasting it with the behavior of former President Trump. The upcoming election is marked by gender gaps in support for candidates, with surveys indicating Harris is winning women by large margins but struggling with men. Other election updates and news stories are also highlighted, including the Nobel Peace Prize award and the death of Ethel Kennedy.
