Today's riddle: The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Sledgehammer-wielding stepdad made boy put hand on table as 'everyone believed' he would 'smash' it: Police (newsbreak.com) — A Bay County child abuse investigation centers on a Panama City home where deputies say a stepfather used a sledgehammer to destroy two children's belongings and threatened an 11-year-old boy's hand. Both the stepfather and the children's mother now face multiple felony charges and upcoming court dates, after the children quietly documented the damage and an anonymous report reached a Merritt Brown Middle School resource deputy.
• Level 1 Tornado Risk and Landfalling Waterspouts Threaten Pensacola, Destin, and Panama City Sunday as Storms Could Rotate Along Florida Panhandle Coast (bananatreenews.today) — Panama City faces a low but real tornado and landfalling waterspout risk today as storms move along the Florida Panhandle coast. A Level 1 threat means brief, weaker tornadoes are possible, so residents and beachgoers should monitor weather alerts, be ready to move indoors quickly, and have reliable ways to receive warnings throughout the day.
• 37 million people under alert for dangerous temperatures as October heat wave bakes California (abcnews.com) — Panama City is in a corridor forecast to receive 2 to 6 inches of rain, with even higher local totals possible, as rounds of heavy storms move along the Gulf Coast. While California bakes under a heat wave, the Florida Panhandle instead faces flash-flood concerns through Monday, so residents should watch for localized flooding and avoid driving through water-covered roads.
