🌪Florida Braces for Potent Idalia – Cat 4 Hurricane Set to Hit with ‘Catastrophic Storm Surge’
Florida residents living in vulnerable coastal areas were ordered to pack up and leave as Hurricane Idalia gained strength in the Gulf of Mexico – with authorities warning of a “catastrophic storm surge and destructive winds” when the storm moves ashore Wednesday morning.
The National Weather Service in Tallahassee called Idalia “an unprecedented event” since no major hurricanes on record have passed through the bay abutting the Big Bend - where the Florida Panhandle curves into the peninsula.
In preparation for rescue and repair efforts, about 5,500 National Guard troops have been activated and more than 30k utility workers are standing by ahead of the storm’s arrival.

Ride the Lightning: ‘St Elmo’s Fire’ Repeatedly Zaps ⚡️ Plane During Hurricane Idalia
A pilot evacuating from Tampa, Florida’s MacDill Air Force Base ahead of Idalia’s landfall can be seen flying an unidentified plane through storm clouds with nearly constant flashes of lightning in all directions.
A purple glow - the St. Elmo’s fire phenomenon - can be seen off the tips of the plane’s windshield wipers.
The phenomenon occurs when an atmospheric electrical field creates visible plasma off the end of rod-like objects like masts, chimneys, or, in the plane’s case, windshield wipers.

The Chandrayaan-3 has begun sending elemental composition data from the largely unexplored underbelly of the Earth's satellite.
It's also found aluminum, calcium, iron, chromium and titanium - along with the presence of silicon and oxygen.
The space project is currently mapping the pole for frozen water that could help astronauts on future missions - whether it be drinking future or used to make fuel.

New satellite images reveal Chinese troops have been digging tunnels and building reinforced bunkers at six locations in Aksai Chin, near the LAC – the line of actual control between 🇨🇳and 🇮🇳.
Reinforced personnel bunkers have earth raised around them to provide additional protection from aerial or missile attacks and entry and exit points designed in a forked
manner to dissipate the impact of bombardment.
The news comes just days after China claimed the area of Aksai Chin region in Ladakh and the state of Arunachal Pradesh as its own in their standard maps.

A new warning has been issued over hackers gaining full access to personal banking details. Trend Micro claims the new phishing scam enables screen recording and remote bank fraud.
Devices are infected via fake apps on websites disguised as official app stores. The Android banking trojan is near impossible to detect and has been targeting accounts since late June.
Most cases have so far been found in Southeast Asia - but MMRat is spreading fast.
