1 Possibly The Only Presidential Debate Between Harris And Trump Is Tonight
Tonight is the night for the ABC News presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Both candidates have been working to spin the expectations for what may be the only debate between the two candidates before the November 5th election. Harris says Trump “is probably going to speak a lot of untruth,” while Trump’s team says his opponent “will finally be forced to defend her record.” The debate will be moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis starting tonight at 9 pm Eastern Time. The rules agreed to by both candidates include each candidate’s microphone being muted while their opponent is speaking, which was the same set of rules in place for the Trump-Biden debate that ultimately resulted in President Joe Biden withdrawing from the race.
2 Hurricane Francine Is Headed For Louisiana Coastline
Hurricane Francine is making a beeline for the Louisiana gulf coast. The storm is forecast to possibly be a Category 2 hurricane when it makes landfall tomorrow around 8 pm Eastern time near Vermilion Bay, Louisiana. That’ll bring some rough weather to New Orleans, which announced yesterday during a press conference that a “shelter in place” order had been issued for residents. Evacuation orders are in place for the southern part of the Bayou, including Terrebonne [tear-bone] Parish and Grand Isle, Louisiana. Grand Isle is forecast to receive a storm surge between five and 10 feet in height; the island home of around 15-hundred people has an official elevation of just seven feet above sea level.
3 Manhunt For I-75 Shooting Suspect In Kentucky Continues
After another day of searching, authorities in Kentucky had little to show for their efforts to find Joseph A. Couch. The 32-year-old is suspected to have been the person who wounded five people who were driving down I-75 late Saturday afternoon. With Couch still on the run, some schools were forced to cancel classes in the area. Master Trooper Scottie Pennington of the Kentucky State Police said that search teams with dogs on the ground, cars on the interstate, and helicopters and drones in the air are being used to search in and around the Daniel Boone National Forest. Thanks to a $10-thousand donation from an anonymous person and $5-thousand from the Kentucky State Police, the reward for information leading to Couch’s arrest stands at $15-thousand. According to a court affidavit, a woman called authorities less than 30 minutes before Couch allegedly opened fire, saying he had texted her to say “I’m going to kill a lot of people. Well try at least. I’ll kill myself afterward.” Police initiated a tracker on Couch’s cellphone after the call, but the information wasn’t returned to them until almost 90 minutes after the shooting.
