South Florida is bracing itself for another day of long lines and gas shortages at the pump. This comes after historic flooding closed pumping stations at Port Everglades, disrupting the fuel supply chain for the entire region.More than half a million gallons of fuel are expected to be delivered over the next two days. On Monday morning, efforts are underway to replenish the fuel supply as quickly as possible. However, officials are urging people not to panic and rush to the pump, as this will only exacerbate the problem.Despite these efforts, many drivers are struggling to find fuel. One woman at a gas station on Tuesday said her first try to find gas was a stroke of luck, while others have not been so fortunate. “I went to three gas stations and there is nothing,” said one man waiting in line for gas.The majority of gas stations in South Florida are barren, with long lines growing day and night from Miami-Dade to Broward at the few stations that do have fuel.

CNN) — A hybrid solar eclipse — the first of its kind in nearly 10 years — is on the way.During this rare celestial event, the moon will pass between Earth and the sun in such a way that people in its narrow central eclipse path, including parts of Australia, East Timor and Indonesia, will experience either an annular or a total eclipse, depending on where they are in relation to the moon.The hybrid eclipse will begin at 10:37 p.m. ET Wednesday and last until about 1:56 a.m. ET, according to EarthSky, with the greatest totality, when the moon fully covers the sun, occurring for just over one minute in Timor at 12:16 a.m. ET.What makes a hybrid eclipse uniqueOtherwise known as an annular-total eclipse, a hybrid eclipse is a function of Earth’s curvature and the event’s path.

(CNN) — A tiny intruder infiltrated White House grounds Tuesday, prompting a swift response from the US Secret Service.Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, said a toddler crawled through the fence on the north side of the White House, setting off security alerts.“The Secret Service Uniformed Division today encountered a curious young visitor along the White House north fence line who briefly entered White House ground,” Gugliemli said. “The White House security systems instantly triggered Secret Service officers and the toddler and parents were quickly reunited.”It’s not the first time a toddler has crawled through the White House fence.

We’re only eight days from the centerpiece event of a significant Chicago Bears offseason: the NFL draft on April 27-29 in Kansas City, Mo.Who will the Bears pick at No. 9, or will they trade down again — or even back up? And where does Kansas City’s famed barbecue rank among NFL cities? The Tribune’s Brad Biggs tries to answer them all in his weekly Bears mailbag.What are the pros and cons of the Bears trading down in the first round? — Kenny B., PeoriaThe most obvious motivation for trading down would be to add more depth to this draft class and potentially to the cache of 2024 picks, depending on how far down the board Ryan Poles is willing to slide. The Bears have a pretty big gap from their first pick at No. 9 and their next selection at No. 53, the pick they received from the Baltimore Ravens in the Roquan Smith trade. If Poles can trade down and feel confident about the player he can land and bridge that gap before the second pick, that might be ...Dolphins NFL draft options: Edge rushers

They paired him with fellow edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, a 2021 first-round pick, and they’re hoping to cause havoc up front.The edge rusher is vitally important in today’s NFL.Will Anderson Jr., AlabamaAnderson (6 foot 3, 253 pound) is one of the most decorated players in recent history, winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy twice, being named SEC Defensive Player of the Year twice, as well as win...Latest news
