Happy Easter! There's barely any news today, so let's get to it. The Masters have officially finished, with Jon Rahm defeating Brooks Koepka to win $3.24 million in Augusta, Georgia. Unfortunately, Tiger Woods was not able to compete after his devastating 2021 car crash incident, so this may be the end of his career. On another note, there was just another mass shooting in Christiana Mall, Delaware, with three people getting shot (two of which are in critical condition) and five others injured when someone opened fire in the food court of the mall in the evening, around 6:30 PM. Police are still searching for the gunman, but they have had no luck so far.

Tensions are skyrocketing in Israel and its neighboring countries as it carries out numerous attacks throughout the region. They recently stormed the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and sent out raids in Gaza and the West Bank, killing members of the Hamas terrorist group and innocent bystanders as well. Then, dozens of rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel. Now, Israel have fired multiple rockets into the Syrian region of Golan Heights, which is still disputed between Israel and Syria. Syria says that it blocked the rockets, but Israel then struck a Syrian military base with its fighter jets soon after. Who knows what conflicts could come next in the region... On another note, something that hasn't happened in 40 years is now happening: The Masters were suspended for a day because of the bad weather, so they will end on a Monday! The Masters haven't ended on a Monday since 1983, but that run is ending due to the severe storms passing through the area.

For our Christian readers, we wish you a peaceful Good Friday! However, we start with some bad news. Unfortunately, the conflict in the Israel-Palestine-Lebanon area is heating up, with multiple attacks taking place in the past few days. Just a little while ago, Israeli soldiers stormed the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, interrupting the holy celebrations of Ramadan for Muslims and Passover for Jews. The soldiers brutally beat and injured many people, and then retreated from the area. Then, dozens of rockets from Lebanon that were reportedly fired by Palestinian militants were launched into Israel, sparking more anger. In retaliation, Israel sent soldiers into Gaza and southern Lebanon, striking targets of the well-known Palestinian militant group of Hamas. And just now, a terrorist attack took place in Tel Aviv, Israel, where an Arab-Israeli man drove his car onto the sidewalk, killing one Italian tourist and injuring over seven others. Another attack also took place on the West Bank, killing three and injuring dozens more. On another note, over 100,000 people are out of power in Canada as a massive ice storm moves through the region. Dozens of deaths have been reported, but the death toll is sure to rise as many areas have no hope of thawing as of right now.

Thankfully, severe weather is finally winding down, as the storm system moves out of the Midwest and Central US. However, it is bringing some rain to the South this weekend, with strong winds and the possibilty of large hail as well. Multiple tornadoes have struck the Midwest and Central US in the past week, flattening entire towns and leaving over 32 people dead. Thankfully, most of the power has been restored, as the only state with over 10,000 power outages is Texas (over 23,000 people out of power). Bad weather is also continuing in Canada, as a massive ice storm has moved into the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and Montreal. Over 1 million people are out of power across the eastern part of country, and many pipes and power lines are freezing up. On another note, the former Chief Technological Officer of Square and founder of Cash App, Bob Lee, has died, after a tragic stabbing attack in San Francisco. Officials are still investigating the incident. He was only 43 years old, and could have gone on to do many more great things in life. However, Lee may no longer be with us, but his reputation and business continue to live on.

Happy Passover (or as they say in Hebrew: Chag Pesach kasher vesame'ach, pronounced CHAG PEH-sach kah-SHER ve-sah-MAY-ach, which means have a happy and kosher Passover)! Unfortunately, more severe weather is headed to the South this weekend, with strong winds, fierce rain, hail, and possibly severe tornadoes. Multiple tornadoes struck the Midwest and Central US today, with one tornado decimating the McCormick Creek State Park, near Spencer, Indiana, killing two campers in the area. Another tornado struck southeastern Missouri in the small town of Glenallen, killing five people and injuring multiple others. The tornado also downed trees and power lines. Over 60,000 people are still out of power across the storm-struck states, and that number is sure to rise as the severe weather moves into the Southeast. Also, we have some good news for Disney fans! The 2016 animation, Moana, that made over $600 million in the box office is coming back in a live-action remake, with the original Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! However, he has not announced whether the otehr actors will be returning in the new remake as well. Lastly, Volkswagen has announced that it is recalling over 143,000 of its Atlas SUVs with model years from 2018 to 2021 due to a problem where the passenger seat airbag sensor can switch off at times. As it investigates the issue, they have advised consumers to avoid letting people sit in the passenger seat for the time being.

We have a lot of news today, so let's dive in. More severe weather is headed to the Midwest, South, and Central US, with strong winds, power outages, heavy rain, golf ball-sized hail, and tornadoes. Many people that were just struck by the severe storms in the past week or two are also under threat, which could be a big problem for towns that are still recovering from the damage. However, this storm isn't expected to be as bad as the others. On another note, Finland is officially joining NATO today as the 31st member, after over a year of debating whether Finland should join the organization or not. Finland started to hurry to join NATO once the Russo-Ukraine War started, amid fears that they would be invaded just like Ukraine was. The admittance of Finland to NATO has also eased Sweden's fears of being invaded (since they are also not part of NATO, but they have applied), as the only way to get from Russia to Sweden is through Finland. However, Russia has still threatened to take counter-measures, but they are still very busy in their war with Ukraine. Now we have some sad news: After a serious avalanche in the state of Sikkim, India, seven people are dead and over thirteen others are injured after the wall of snow thundered down a mountain, destroying homes and businesses. Avalanches are quite common in the area, since it is near the Himalayan Mountains, but this massive one was much bigger than the regular avalanches in the region. Also, one person is dead and over thirty others are injured after a passenger train in the Netherlands hit a construction crane. The Dutch train owned by the company Pro Rail slammed into a small construction crane on the track at around 3:25 AM and derailed, with three cars falling off the main rail. Lastly, Australia has announced that it will ban TikTok on government devices over safety concerns in the country, with many people suspecting that China could be listening in or tracking them from the app. However, Australia isn't the only one to impose some sort of ban on the Chinese social media app. The United States, the European Union, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Taiwan, and Canada also ban TikTok either only on government devices or completely ban it throughout the country.

If you live in the Midwest or Central United States, watch out! More severe weather is headed your way, with another storm system expected to hit on Tuesday. The storm will bring rain, high winds, hail, and a risk of tornadoes to the towns that were just battered by the severe weather systems of Friday and the week before that, and over 60,000 people are still out of power as of today. On another note, you might see gas prices spike once again. Some members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have announced that they will start voluntarily cutting crude oil production, amid the new shift to renewable energy. OPEC members that are cutting production include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Algeria, Russia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, and the total output that has been cut is over 1.66 million barrels a day, which is a big step in the shift to clean energy. Lastly, Finland has finally been approved to join NATO, after over a year of debating whether Finland should join or not. The official announcement will be made on Tuesday. Finland started to hurry to join NATO once the Russo-Ukraine War started, amid fears that they would be invaded as well. They have finally been approved, which has also eased Sweden's fears of being invaded (since they are also not part of NATO, but they have applied), as the only way to get from Russia to Sweden is through Finland.

Severe weather has continued to batter the South and Eastern United States, with big tornadoes pummeling the Midwest and Central US on Friday and Saturday. Over 32 people are now dead after over 50 tornadoes spawned in Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana, Wisconsin, and a loner in Delaware killed one person in Sussex County. In Illinois, four people were killed, one of which died when the roof of the Apollo Theater in Belvidere collapsed due to high winds. Five people were killed in Indiana, three of those five in the town of Sullivan. Two children and an adult were found dead in Tennessee after a tree fell on their house, and nine others were killed in McNairy County. Another person was found dead in North Little Rock, Arkansas, after a powerful EF-3 ripped through the state capital. Also, one person was killed in Madison County, Alabama, and another in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. Now, the severe weather threat is moving into Texas and Oklahoma, where more tornadoes and golf-ball size hail is expected throughout the day. Unfortunately, since we have entered peak storm season, another system will move in on Tuesday, and it will bring more rain, hail, high winds, and even tornadoes.

Happy April Fools Day! Let's get into today's news. Unfortunately, we start off with some bad news. After a recent severe storm system, over 21 people were killed as tornadoes ravaged the Central US, Midwestern US, and Deep South. A strong EF-3 was reported to have crossed the Arkansas capital of Little Rock, along with other smaller tornadoes, strong winds, and golf ball-sized hail. More tornadoes also battered the towns of Covington, Tennessee, Sullivan, Indiana, and Madison, Alabama. Two more tornadoes also struck two counties in Illinois, with baseball-sized hail as well. According to poweroutage.us, over 255,000 people are out of power in Pennsylvania, around 207,000 in Ohio, about 79,000 in Tennessee, around 74,000 in West Virginia, over 68,000 in North Carolina, and about 55,000 in Virginia. About 49,000 are out in Kentucky, over 42,000 in Georgia, over 38,000 in New York, over 34,000 in Arkansas, over 32,000 in Minnesota and Indiana, about 24,000 in Illinois, and over 10,000 in Wisconsin.
