National map battle
Good morning!🙋🏼♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. "Can't even outdress my Labubu." Texas Republicans approve Trump-backed congressional map A new Texas state congressional map heads to the state Senate after the House passed the measure intended to flip five Democratic-held U.S. House seats up for grabs in the 2026 elections. Why this matters: This is a rare mid-decade redistricting to help President Donald Trump improve the GOP's odds of holding a narrow U.S. House of Representatives majority. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers temporarily delayed the bill's passage by staging a two-week walkout. What's causing a deadly outbreak in NYC? Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has filed lawsuits against two construction companies over what he called a "completely preventable" outbreak of Legionnaires' disease that has killed five people and sickened more than 100 others in New York City. An outbreak of the disease, which began July 25, has been clustered across five ZIP codes in Central Harlem. The city health department said the outbreak is linked to cooling towers, heat exchangers that use fans and water to cool down buildings. Construction companies and the city are accused of negligence when the towers filled with storm waters that bred bacteria. More news to know now What's the weather today? Check your local forecast here. Outer Banks brace for Hurricane Erin Hurricane Erin's higher tides and big waves are battering much of the East Coast. Beachfront property owners are bracing Thursday for the worst amid predictions of a storm surge of up to 4 feet and significant coastal erosion. Powerful waves of 15 to 20 feet are expected to slam beaches, especially in North Carolina, for 48 hours or more as the hurricane crawls northward offshore through at least Thursday. Late yesterday, the National Weather Service said about 7.7 million people were under coastal flood warnings and nearly 32 million were under coastal flood advisories along the East Coast. Erin is expected to stay hundreds of miles offshore, but impacts are forecast to worsen as it makes its closest approach to the U.S. mainland. Painting the southern border wall black The Trump administration is painting the U.S.-Mexico border fence black to make the steel so hot migrants won't climb it. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem unveiled the plans Wednesday in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, while workers ran paint rollers up the steel bollards behind her. When asked about the possibility that critics might call the heat-inducing paint job cruel, Noem said: "Don't touch it." As USA TODAY has previously reported, hundreds of miles of 30-foot barrier at the border already pose a deadly threat to migrants who attempt to scale the fence. El Paso Times, part of the USA TODAY Network, captured these photos of the steel border wall painted black.

Unraveling the mystery: Can cats predict the weather?
NEW YORK (PIX11) — While many individuals rely on weather apps or trust their preferred meteorologists for accurate forecasts, pet owners might consider listening to their intuitive, furry companions. There has been a lot of folklore through the years about cats and weather changes, but the Farmer's Almanac suggests there could be some truth to the legends. More Local News According to James J. Garriss, a weather contributor for the Farmer's Almanac, many European cultures believed that cats could influence or forecast the weather. Examples include: It was believed in Britain and Wales that rain was likely if a cat busily washed its ears. In Holland, it was believed that cats could predict the wind by clawing at carpets and curtains. In early America, when a cat sat with its back to the fire, it was foretelling a cold snap. If a cat slept with all four paws tucked underneath, it was a sign that bad weather was coming. Whether there's truth to these beliefs is up for debate, but Garriss states that cats can predict weather changes due to their heightened senses. Early snow? Farmer's Almanac offers autumn predictions Garriss writes that cats are more sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, which can allow them to pick up hints that a storm is coming. Cats are also more sensitive to smells and sounds, which means they could likely smell incoming rain or hear thunder before their human companions.
