Funnel clouds, $40 trillion, & your commute from hell 🌪️
Good morning, Delaware County. Mother Nature had a lot to say yesterday — flash flood warnings, funnel cloud sightings, and enough rain to make your commute feel like a white-knuckle adventure. Add a multi-vehicle semi crash that locked up northbound I-71 near Polaris, and Tuesday was a day best experienced from your couch. On the national front, U.S. debt has officially crossed $40 trillion for the first time, which is either alarming or just a very large number, depending on your tolerance for fiscal headlines.
On a more optimistic note, Bridge Park's Ellis Condos are officially under construction — the final chapter of one of Delaware County's most ambitious developments. Teen ChatGPT, Walmart earnings, and a major Meta trial round out today's read, with fresh local real estate listings waiting at the finish line.
