Kaikorai survive late surge to win Dunedin premier final
Kaikorai clinched a 46-41 win against Harbour to claim the Championship Shield at Forsyth Barr Stadium this afternoon. Harbour scored two late tries to create some late drama. But Kaikorai set up their victory with two quick tries in the third quarter of the game. They took a 22-17 lead into the halftime break. Harbour had the ascendancy up front and dominated the scrums. Kaikorai went wide at every opportunity, but it found more gaps through the middle ironically. They crashed over for three tries. Openside Slade McDowall had a dominant half and Ben Miller's tactical kicking helped put his side in good positions. Harbour, for their part, blew too many attacking lineouts. The Hawks did not execute well in that phase. But they struck early in the second to level the score. Centre Aleki Morris-Lome scored in the corner after the Hawks had been battering away at the line. But Kaikorai replied immediately. Miller ghosted through a gap and, after several passes, fullback Charlie Breen dotted down. Then Otago lock Will Tucker broke the line and flicked the ball to McDowall and angled his way to the corner. The game looked done but Harbour rallied with two late tries to replacement winger Mone Samate-Palu. Kaikorai 46 Slade McDowall 2, Henry Bell, Rawiri Martin, Charlie Breen, Lucas Casey tries, Ben Miller 5 con, 2 pen Harbour 41 Mone Samate-Palu 2, Boston Hunt, Jeff Ikani, Aleki Morris-Lome, Toni Taufa, tries, Rique Miln 3 con, pen, Nathan Hastie con Halftime: 22-17

Faraday Future unveils FX Super One MPV to rival Escalade
Story Highlights Faraday Future unveils FX Super One MPV to compete with luxury SUVs. FX Super One features unique LED display and advanced technology features. Faraday secures $105 million in financing for FX Super One launch. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. unveiled its FX Super One MPV Thursday in Los Angeles, saying the first in its new line of affordable mass-market electric vehicles under the FX brand will compete with luxury SUVs such as Cadillac's Escalade. The Gardena, California-based company (Nasdaq: FFAI) said it now has more than 10,000 'binding deposits' for the vehicle, even though the company hasn't released a price tag for it nor said when it will go on sale. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Faraday said the FX Super One MPV will have some unique features when it eventually hits the road, including its FF Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem), which is an external super LED display on the front fascia that will replace a vehicle's typical grill. With multiple changing front-screen images, the technology brings 'each vehicle a unique expression — 'a thousand faces for a thousand cars,'' Faraday said. Other features touted by Faraday include floating rear zero-gravity seats; all-wheel drive; a longer wheelbase than the Escalade; a high-strength steel structure; a refrigerator; enhanced range on the highway using AI hybrid extended range technology (coming soon); a Dolby Atmos audio system; LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar and HD camera sensors; and several seating configurations, including four-seat, six-seat and seven-seat choices. The company will build the FX Super One at its factory in Hanford, California, located in the San Joaquin Valley region of the greater Central Valley. The unveiling comes after Faraday said earlier this week it secured about $105 million in new cash financing, including $82 million of new financing commitments, to support the launch of the FX Super One model. The company also intends to use the funds to accelerate development and distribution efforts for its FF and FX brands and AI-related technologies.

Sudden Warning Gives People Minutes To Act: 'Take Cover Now!'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Nearly 16,000 people in Dodge County, Wisconsin, had only minutes to act on Wednesday afternoon after National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists issued an urgent tornado warning for the area. "To repeat, a tornado is on the ground. TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building," the NWS warning issued by the Milwaukee office said. "Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris." Why It Matters Unlike other weather hazards that can be forecast hours or days in advance, tornados often develop suddenly and provide only minutes for residents to seek protection. For those living in mobile homes, outdoors, or in vehicles, the risk is especially acute. The warning in Dodge County instructed people to take immediate shelter amid a damaging tornado that was on the ground in the area. A hazards map from the NWS showed nearly 16,000 people inhabited the affected area. A stock image of a tornado in a rural area. A stock image of a tornado in a rural area. JP Midwest Storm Chaser/Getty What to Know The confirmed tornado was sighted over Iron Ridge at 3:35 p.m. CDT on Wednesday afternoon. The storm system moved in a northeast direction at approximately 30 mph and had previously generated brief touchdowns as reported by trained spotters near Hustisford only minutes before. The tornado warning remained in effect for east central Dodge County until 4 p.m. CDT, covering the communities of Mayville, Horicon, Juneau, Hustisford, Iron Ridge, and Woodland. Residents in these areas were directed to move to basements or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and to avoid windows for their safety. Those outdoors, in mobile homes, or traveling by vehicle were instructed to seek substantial shelter immediately. Hazards included a damaging tornado with the potential for flying debris, which the NWS warned would be dangerous to anyone not under shelter. Additional threats included damage to mobile homes, roofs, windows, and vehicles along the storm's path. Tree damage was also considered likely. Hail of up to .75 inches accompanied the storm, further increasing threats to people and property. Even though the tornado threat has expired, a tornado watch, severe thunderstorm warning and flash flood warning were still in place for central and eastern Wisconsin on Wednesday afternoon. NWS meteorologist Ben Miller told Newsweek the Milwaukee office has issued 15 tornado warnings so far on Wednesday. What People Are Saying Miller said: "There's another chance for a complex of storms to come through Saturday morning, but that's several days away. Once this moves through this evening, the next couple days look pretty nice." NWS in a Wednesday forecast: "Great Lakes will continue to be the focus for numerous thunderstorms from late Wednesday afternoon through Friday as this front slowly pushes east southeastward. Heavy rains, isolated flooding and isolated severe weather likely late this afternoon into early this evening across the Mid-West, Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions." What Happens Next The tornado warning for east central Dodge County expired at 4 p.m. CDT, but additional severe weather could persist as storm systems progress through the area. NWS forecasters continued monitoring conditions, ready to issue further warnings or watches if necessary. Residents in affected regions have been cautioned to remain alert to rapidly changing weather conditions and to follow further guidance from local authorities and meteorologists.
