Hurricane Milton Recovery Continues
Hurricane Milton’s aftermath in Florida has left at least 16 dead and over 2 million without power as rescue crews continued to assist those stranded by floodwaters on Friday.
The White House said Friday that 1,000 federal personnel in Florida have conducted over 4,200 rescues and delivered 1.2 million meals, with 1.6 million more meals planned for delivery.
One of the more dramatic rescues occurred Thursday when a Coast Guard helicopter saved a man hanging on to a cooler about 30 miles off the coast. You can see the rescue here.
There were signs of life returning to normal Friday as several theme parks and airports were scheduled to fully reopen.
Gold Mine Accident Leaves One Dead
Authorities on Friday identified the victim of a Colorado gold mine accident that trapped nearly two dozen tourists hundreds of feet underground as Patrick Weier, the group’s tour guide.
According to reports, two groups of 12 tourists, including children, were touring Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine in Cripple Creek when an elevator malfunctioned, leaving one dead, four injured and the groups stuck below ground.
Authorities quickly rescued 11 people, including two children, but the other 12 remained in the mine for about six hours.
Colorado requires daily inspections of tourist mine attractions and transportation systems, but the last inspection date and records were not immediately available.
Northern Lights Seen Across U.S. and Europe
A powerful solar storm triggered stunning northern lights displays, known as aurora borealis, across the U.S. and the world this week. You can see photos of the colorful event here.
The geomagnetic storm, rated 4 out of 5 by NOAA, triggered widespread illuminations beyond its usual polar regions. The skies in Europe and the U.S. saw vivid magenta and green hues, reaching as far south as San Antonio, Texas.

Not only are their products chemical-free, in some cases they’ve proven more effective than traditional pesticides. So effective, in fact, they’ve already landed e-commerce partnerships with companies like:
Following rapid success in the US, Med-X is now on the path to scaling into 41 new global markets including Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
