Good morning, Meigs County. It was a rough night for a lot of folks — heavy rain dumped up to 5.5 inches across parts of the county, closing roads, triggering evacuations, and sending rescue teams out for more than a dozen water rescues. County officials opened emergency operations and worked to get a shelter up and running at Mulberry Community Center in Pomeroy. If you or someone you know needs help, keep reading. On a brighter note, Ohio University's Heritage Community Clinic is rolling into town with free primary-care services — a reminder that good things can still show up unannounced. Once the skies clear, October's still got plenty going on — an ink workshop, a comedy night, and Not Your Mama's Book Club are all coming up fast.

| The ice cream shop that makes money when it's cold | | 28 Wishes sells ice cream in Los Angeles. Below 70°F, sales fall about 20%. The weather is out of their hands. Rent isn't. | So the owners started putting about $20 a day into Kalshi weather markets, taking the cold side. The days that keep customers away now pay something back. | This is hedging. Big companies have done it for decades, buying protection against bad weather, fuel spikes and rising rates. It used to take a broker, a trading desk, and an order size no corner shop could meet. | Kalshi opens it up. Contracts on weather, fuel prices, inflation, tariffs and regulation, starting at a few dollars. Take a position on the outcome that would hurt you. If it hits, the payout softens it. If it doesn't, the contract expires and the good month was the point. | See how other owners are doing it at Kalshi.com/hedging |
