Today, there was quite a bit of news:
Firstly, there was a lot more snow, rain and harsh winds from the West Coast today, which continued all the way to the Great Lakes. There have been more than 284,000 power outages, with most of them in Michigan. In California, rare blizzard warnings are still in effect as a massive winter storm dumps snow and rain on the southern section of the state.
On another note, over 200 people have been arrested in Turkey with the charges of poor building construction after the huge 7.8 earthquake earlier this month. After over 5,700 buildings fell down, people are now questioning if the government has done enough to stop this from happening again, as many architects and builders may have purposely built weak buildings to save money and time.
Lastly, SpaceX and NASA had an astronaut launch planned for 1:15 AM (EST). Unfortunately, they aborted it two minutes before launch after a problem was reported, and they postponed the launch my 30 minutes. Then, after a thorough inspection by engineers, an issue was found with the ignition fluid. The launch has been rescheduled to Thursday, and it will be carrying two astronauts--one from the UAE and one from Russia-to the International Space Station.
