Flash floods, a CEO gone, & a tariff cliffhanger 👀
Good morning, Jackson County. The skies didn't mess around overnight — flash flood warnings hit northern communities like Wellston, Hamden, and Coalton, while southern areas including Oak Hill dealt with standing water and ongoing flood impacts. If you haven't already checked your regular routes this morning, now's the time. Beyond the rain, today's national headlines are a mixed bag: import prices dipped thanks to cheaper fuel, a major aerospace CEO resigned mid-internal-review, and a last-minute tariff deal with Canada kept trade tensions from boiling over — for now.
On drier ground, Google quietly made it easier for campaigns to flood your inbox with fundraising emails, which feels fitting given the weather theme. And if you're in the market for something new, fresh local listings are waiting over in Real Estate.
