Yes, you read that correctly. Northern Austin has gotten snow, and in addition to that odd weather behavior, ice has accompanied it. Obviously, people living in Austin, Texas were not prepared for the event, due to how unlikely it is that they would receive snow at all.

This Sunday, the United State’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport lost all power during the busiest time of the year. Those at the airport were stuck for several hours. This was reportedly the result of a fire in the underground electrical facility. According to NBC News,”By late Sunday, the airport had canceled 1,173 flights and delayed 207, according to FlightAware.com. Delta Air Lines, which is headquartered in Atlanta, said it was canceling another 300 flights, mostly to Atlanta, on Monday.”

This Tuesday, in the Alabama senate race, Democratic Doug Jones took the win. According to CBS News, “With all counties reporting, the Alabama Secretary of State reported Jones with 49.92 percent of the vote, and Moore with 48.38 percent of the vote.”

It’s unusual for a Democratic senator to win a typical Republican seat, but the loss comes after many sexual assault accusations rose against the Republican Roy Moore, despite the support from President Trump.

    Because of the small margin of which Jones won by, Moore failed to concede and that “the vote is so close it’s not over,” as a recount will take place that will account for the military votes.  Senior Amanda McDonald says, “He’s being a sore loser, just take the L.”

Donald Trump has already tweeted, “Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win's a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!”

Although the recount will occur, many believe, including secretary of state Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, it is highly unlikely that Moore will win it.

Telegraph and Fox both reported that a new British study concluded that frying fatty foods creates clouds which leads to rain. Which if you think about it, it makes sense, a British study about why it rains so much there. I mean, what else do they have to do over there?

Halloween is known for being a scary holiday. But what happened this Halloween was truly frightening. New York City, on Tuesday, was a target for a terrorist attack, presumably inspired by Isis. For many, Halloween is no longer a holiday to celebrate, but one to dread. Senior Lauren Banks said, “Hearing about this event, especially when it’s so close to home, is not only upsetting, but nerve racking as well.”

On September 20, 2017, Science Daily displayed the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s new statement on a study that could save the sea turtles. Despite the fact that sea turtles have historically suffered population declines for reasons that include accidental catch and harvesting adults and eggs, the study on the world's seven sea turtle species gives evidence that their numbers are growing overall, which is unlike many other endangered vertebrates. In past history, sea turtles have had a history of populations decrease, so tactics like strict fishing regulations and beach protection measures were put into action.

Leaving many Americans who are undocumented immigrants facing the possibility of being deported.. Donald Trump and his administration are at a loss of control over the issues with illegal immigrants, and deportation is his way of fixing this issue. Sessions claimed the Obama Administration of disrespecting the legislative process bycalling DACA, “an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws.” The US has lain it’s foundation on all backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, and has always been known for being a home to immigrants and a place for people to come with the goals of bettering their lives.
