Donald Trump once again voiced his dissatisfaction with the federal government’s handling of natural disasters that have ravaged the Southeastern United States, seemingly aiming to use the tropical weather situation to his political advantage.
During his remarks at the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday, Trump addressed the victims of Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene. He commended the Republican governors of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina for their efforts but criticized the federal response in North Carolina, alleging it fell short following Helene. He accused the government of failing in its duties, stating that North Carolina “had not done what you’re supposed to be doing.”

A powerful geomagnetic storm is expected to illuminate the skies with the northern lights, possibly visible across much of the continental United States. According to an alert from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the auroras could stretch as far south as Alabama and as far west as California.
On Tuesday night, the sun unleashed a solar flare, which triggered a coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive release of plasma and magnetic energy into space.
NOAA forecasts that the CME could impact Earth as early as this morning or by midday. This particular CME is classified as “severe,” rating a four out of five on the agency’s geomagnetic storm scale.

Hurricane Milton veered away from Florida early Thursday morning after being downgraded to a Category 1 storm, leaving residents who stayed behind to assess the aftermath. Over 3 million people were left without electricity, and the storm had already claimed several lives.
By Thursday, Milton was situated off Florida’s Atlantic coast, roughly 10 miles northeast of Cape Canaveral, with maximum winds clocking in at about 85 mph. This was significantly weaker than the 120 mph winds that battered the Gulf Coast when the storm, then classified as a Category 3, hit Siesta Key near Sarasota at around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

TAMPA – Thousands of Floridians jammed highways and scrambled to find safer and higher shelter Tuesday as officials issued increasingly apocalyptic warnings about Hurricane Milton, a colossal storm predicted to bring devastating storm surge and ruinous winds when it hits the most densely populated areas of the Gulf Coast.

At an anti-draft gathering in Bnei Brak, instead of his planned speech, Slabodka rosh yeshiva Hagaon Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch simply apologized for the timing of the event, which, unbeknownst to organizers, fell on the secular memorial day for October 7th.

On Monday, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump addressed an audience in Florida, where he met with local Jewish community leaders to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel that occurred on October 7.
Reflecting on the atrocities committed by Hamas on that fateful day, Trump stated, “Today, we reaffirm for the entire world to hear: there can be no acceptance, no excuses, and no understanding of such evil. Nothing can justify it. Nothing can rationalize it. And any person who sympathizes with these atrocities has a sickness in their soul and darkness in their heart.”
