📰 News we're reading
• Emergency alert technology helps protect Melbourne Beach swimmers (hometownnewsbrevard.com) — Removing a life ring at Melbourne Beach's Avenue B beach access automatically alerted responders during an Oct. 31 rescue of two teens. The SeaHawk system sends a station's precise location when a ring is removed, helping crews find emergencies without waiting for a phone call. Neither teen required medical attention. 
• Mega Millions jackpot nearing top 10 highest of all time at $529M (palmbeachpost.com) — Mega Millions reached $529 million ahead of the Nov. 10 drawing, approaching the game's top 10 jackpots after 29 rollovers. Another drawing is scheduled for Nov. 13, but this report does not include Nov. 10 results. Melbourne Beach's connection is historical: two residents shared a major 2016 Powerball jackpot.
