🌪 Nearly all power restored in Gaylord after tornado
About 6,100 utility customers in Otsego County, Michigan, lost power due to Friday’s storms, according to Jackson-based Consumers Energy. State police said Sunday that electricity has been restored to 99% of utility customers in Gaylord, where a tornado killed two after striking in the county.
The tornado packed winds of 140 mph that tore roofs and walls from businesses and largely destroyed a mobile home park. State police Lt. Derrick Carroll has said the city doesn’t have tornado sirens as such storms are uncommon in northern Michigan.

The New York City police are still searching for the gunman who shot and killed a 48-year-old man on a Manhattan subway train on Sunday.
Kenneth Corey, the chief of the police department, told reporters that the attacker pulled out his gun "without provocation." This comes a little over a month after over 20 people were injured in the Brooklyn subway shooting.

🤔 The United States has broad plans for a military buildup in the Arctic, and will invest in the Thule base in northern Greenland, the Danish newspaper Berlingske has claimed, citing a report by a US oversight authority.
▪️ According to the newspaper, the non-classified parts of the report suggest that billions of dollars will be spent in the Arctic, including Thule base, which was established in Greenland during World War II.
▪️ The base has an ageing infrastructure that the US is interested in upgrading, the US Air Force confirmed to the newspaper, without elaborating further.
