News?

I heard some troubling things about America from my other JSP’s, like how there is a hurricane tearing up the Midwest and Texas. And about the stock market crashing. And about United going bankrupt – which pretty much screws me over since I’m going home on a United flight. What is happening over there on the other side of the coast? I would love some news updates since they are hard to come by without Internet – which I don’t really have access to.
