- ➤ After Texas flash floods killed over 130 people, including campers and staff at Camp Mystic, Alabama parents worry about local camps’ weather safety because state agencies do not require weather emergency plans. One camp at Lake Martin, Children's Harbor, has added storm shelters—prompting experts to urge camps to adopt robust alert systems for severe weather. AL.com
BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ Built-in USB ports in cars deliver only 5 watts, which slows charging as apps like CarPlay draw extra power—using a high-wattage USB-C charger from the 12-volt socket can quickly boost your phone's battery. Quality cables are also important since older or cheap ones can limit the charging speed even when using a dedicated charger. WAKA
