Hurricane Florence, which had strengthened into the first major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, weakened to a Category 1 storm Thursday as it moved on a path toward Bermuda. As of 5 p.m. ET Thursday, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph but was expected to reintensify Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.  Large swells from Florence are expected to hit Bermuda starting Friday, and portions of the U.S. East Coast over the weekend. Life-threatening surf and rip tides are possible.  There is great uncertainty about Florence’s track beyond day 5. The eye of the hurricane was located 1,050 miles east-southeast of Bermuda as of 5 p.m. ET Thursday and the storm is moving northwest at 10 mph.  Sustained winds have decreased from 130 mph Wednesday when Florence was classified as a Category 4 hurricane.  If Florence continues its current track across the Atlantic, it is likely to hit Bermuda. It should also miss Puerto Rico – located nearly 1,600 miles southwest – which started the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season with its electrical grid and other infrastructure still under repairs from Hurricane Maria last year. The situation was recently criticized in a federal report.  The National Hurricane Center has not yet issued any coastal watches or warnings as of their 5 p.m. ET advisory. But Florence is expected to generate potentially dangerous surf swells and rip...

No, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not more popular among rural white Americans than President Barack Obama. Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency realizes that now. Two days after it ran a report on its website saying as much, they apologized to their readers in an online posting. Fars admitted it had been duped by an article on the Onion, 해적게임주소 a satirical news website. However, while admitting their error, the official apology also was quick to say that no less than the New York Times, the Beijing Evening News and U.S. Rep. John Fleming, R-La., had also at some point been duped by the Onion. See? It can happen to anyone. “Active and well-known media occasionally make mistakes, and no media is an exception to this rule,” the apology reads. The apology even takes this notion a step further, pointing to several factual errors or cursing blunders made by the likes of the BBC.

There has been no word yet over whether they Onion spoof landed anyone behind bars in...
