Richard Branson was staying on his private island during the time hurricane Irma passed through. Everyone on Necker Island was okay but some buildings were destroyed. Him and some buddies stayed safe in a wine cellar.

Richard Branson braved Hurricane Irma on his private island in the British Virgin Islands.

Specifically, the billionaire Virgin founder planned to brave the worst of the powerful storm in his wine cellar.

"We are expecting to get the full force of the hurricane in around five hours' time, when we will retreat to a concrete wine cellar under the Great House," Branson wrote Wednesday morning.

Branson described the eve of the storm as "a night of howling wind and rain." He added: "The atmosphere is eerie but beautiful."

Branson is not alone on Necker Island. He was joined by "a great group of young people," who played games and slept in two rooms.

"I haven't had a sleepover quite like it since I was a kid," Branson said.

Hours later, after the storm had passed, Branson's son Sam said that everyone on the island was OK but that a lot of buildings were destroyed. He expressed concern for others in Irma's path.

"Please don't take this hurricane lightly if it is heading your way," he warned. "If your building is not very solid, do find somewhere safe!"

Hurricane Irma is currently a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph at its core. The storm raked across the Virgin Islands and other eastern parts of the Caribbean on Wednesday and is expected to hit the Turks and Caicos Islands on Thursday.

Irma comes barely a week after Hurricane Harvey caused massive flooding in Texas.

Branson is known for having an adventurous streak. In 2012, he became the oldest person to kitesurf the English Channel. Branson has also said he intends to be on the first Virgin Galactic flight into suborbital space.

He purchased Necker Island for $180,000 in 1979. He later opened a luxury resort, which has been visited by a long list of celebrities.

At least 32 people were killed after a massive 8.1 magnitude earthquake, one of the biggest recorded in Mexico, struck off the country's southern coast late on Thursday, causing cracks in buildings and triggering a small tsunami, authorities said.

Update: MEXICO CITY, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A powerful earthquake late on Thursday in Mexico killed at least 26 people, authorities said, raising the number of fatalities after the governor of the southern state of Oaxaca said on Friday that 20 people were killed in that region.

Oaxaca governor Alejandro Murat said 17 of the 20 fatalities were in Juchitan, a town on Mexico's Tehuantepec isthmus. (Reporting by Mexico City Newsroom)

Earlier story: An earthquake of magnitude 8.1 struck off the southern coast of Mexico late on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, killing at least six people and triggering small tsunami waves but no major destruction.

The quake was apparently stronger than a devastating 1985 tremor that flattened swathes of Mexico City and killed thousands, but this time damage to the city was limited.

A number of buildings suffered severe damage in parts of southern Mexico. Some of the worst initial reports came from Juchitan in Oaxaca state, where sections of the town hall, a hotel, a bar and other buildings were reduced to rubble.

Rescue workers labored through the night in badly affected areas to check for people trapped in collapsed buildings.

Windows also shattered at Mexico City airport and power went out in several neighborhoods of the capital, affecting more than 1 million people. The cornice of a hotel came down in the southern tourist city of Oaxaca, a witness said. The tremor was felt as far away as neighboring Guatemala.

The epicenter of the quake was in the Pacific, 54 miles (87 km) southwest of the town of Pijijiapan in the poor southern state of Chiapas, 43 miles deep. Four people were killed in the state, Governor Manuel Velasco said. Two children were killed in neighboring Tabasco state, Governor Arturo Nunez said.

The quake triggered waves as high as 2.3 ft (0.7 m) in Mexico, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. Mexican television showed images of the sea retreating about 50 meters, and authorities evacuated some coastal areas.

"The tsunami risk on the Chiapas coast does not represent a major risk, it's not very big, it's not a major worry," President Enrique Pena Nieto said in a call to TV network Televisa.

The president said more aftershocks were likely and that people should carefully check their homes and offices for structural damage and for gas leaks. "We are alert," he said.

The USGS reported multiple aftershocks, ranging in magnitude from 4.3 to 5.7.

Classes were suspended in most of central and southern Mexico on Friday to allow authorities to review damage.

There was no tsunami threat for American Samoa and Hawaii, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning System. The national disaster agency of the Philippines put the country's eastern seaboard on alert, but no evacuation was ordered.

IN PYJAMAS

People in Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities, ran out into the streets in pajamas and alarms sounded after the quake struck just before midnight, a Reuters witness said.

Helicopters buzzed overhead a few minutes later, apparently looking for damage to buildings in the city, which is built on a spongy, drained lake bed.

In one central neighborhood, dozens of people stood outside after the quake, some wrapped in blankets against the cool night air. Children were crying.

Liliana Villa, 35, was in her apartment when the earthquake struck and she fled to the street in her pajamas.

"It felt horrible, and I thought, 'this is going to fall'."

State oil company Pemex said it was still checking for damage at its installations. Pena Nieto said operations at the Salina Cruz refinery in the same region as the epicenter were temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure.

"I had never been anywhere where the earth moved so much. At first I laughed, but when the lights went out I didn't know what to do," said Luis Carlos Briceno, an architect, 31, who was visiting Mexico City. "I nearly fell over."

Comedian Stephen Colbert, host of a late-night show on CBS, flashed a Nazi salute - twice - during a rant about US President Donald Trump.
“Yeah, he’s definitely taking it to a higher level. I’d say his support is about up there. Right around here,” Colbert said, raising his arm in a Nazi salute. “Or over here,” he added, doing it again. “Somewhere up there.”

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Comedian Stephen Colbert, host of a late-night show on CBS, flashed a Nazi salute - twice - during a rant about US President Donald Trump.

Returning to The Late Show after a two-week vacation, Colbert lashed out at Trump and his former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who resigned in mid-August.

Citing Bannon's comment that Trump was taking things "up to a higher level" with comments about the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia in early August, Colbert went full Hitler.

"Yeah, he's definitely taking it to a higher level. I'd say his support is about up there. Right around here," Colbert said, raising his arm in a Nazi salute. "Or over here," he added, doing it again. "Somewhere up there."

While not the first celebrity to accuse Trump of being Hitler incarnate, Colbert was the first to give a Nazi salute on national television.

This prompted some conservative observers to wonder if CBS will apply the same standard as CNN did, when it fired pro-Trump commentator Jeffrey Lord in early August. Lord had tweeted "Sieg Heil!" - a Nazi slogan usually chanted with the salute - at a liberal critic, as mockery he said.

"Nazi salutes are indefensible," a CNN spokesperson told the network's media writer Brian Stelter at the time.

Others pointed out that the odds of Colbert getting fired are small, because what matters to the mainstream media is not the salute itself, but who does it.

How funny. Nobody minds these nazi salutes. Colbert does a nazi salute and its fine. Nobody minds the salute, just who makes the salute
- Ned Perkins (@Astoirin10) September 8, 2017

This is not the first time Colbert has pushed the envelope of outrage in his coverage of Trump. In a tirade in May, he employed homophobic slurs to describe the relationship between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite a torrent of complaints, the federal watchdog declined to penalize CBS.

During his Thursday night rant, Colbert also claimed that during his visit to Texas, Trump "didn't meet a single storm victim, see an inch of rain or get near a flooded street."

"He's been closer to a flood in a Russian hotel room," the CBS host added, referring to the infamous - and debunked - Steele dossier published by BuzzFeed earlier this year.

Colbert has hosted the late-night comedy show since September 2015, replacing the long-time host David Letterman. He previously hosted his own show, The Colbert Report, from 2005 to 2014 on Comedy Central - in character as an over-the-top conservative.

After almost 43 years, police finally announce a suspect for a teenagers murder. Back in 1974, Mary Ann Becker, 16, was found strangled in her living room, tied to a piano and electrical cord. The police now believe that the circumstantial evidence then is now strong enough to hold in court and could be presented to the grand jury. The suspects name is Robert Clark, 24 at the time told the police he was working, but confided in his brother otherwise. Although Clark is no longer alive, he was convicted of raping a 15 year old girl. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison, but only served 2 days after winning an appeal in a higher court.

ATKINSON, Illinois ( WQAD) -- Almost 43 years to the day of an Atkinson, Illinois teenager's murder, authorities today revealed the name of the man they believe is the killer.

Mary Ann Becker, 16, was found strangled in the living room of her family's home on September 9, 1974. She had been tied to a piano, and an electrical cord found near the body.
RELATED: Police announce suspect in teen's 1974 murder
Over the past 4 years, Illinois State Police launched a renewed effort to solve the decades- old mystery, including the exhumation of the young woman's body from St. Anthony Catholic Cemetery in Atkinson.

Today, the Henry County State's Attorney's office named the late Robert Clark as the likely suspect in the cold case. He died in March of 2015 in Bloomington, Indiana.

"Upon reviewing the thousands of pages of new interviews, the State's Attorney believes the circumstantial evidence is strong enough that it would warrant presentation to a grand jury if Mr. Clark were still alive," said Matt Schutte, Henry Count State's Attorney.

Clark, who would have been 24 years old at the time of the murder, lived alone in an apartment near the Becker's house. He worked with Mary Ann's father Tony at the local coal mines.

Police say when Clark was initially interviewed shortly after the crime, he had insisted he was at work that night, and had been busy hauling loads of coal the evening of the murder.

Investigators recently discovered "new information contradicting the alibi that Clark was working in the Victoria Coal Mines at the time of the crime."

They say Clark's brother revealed that Clark had confided in him that "he was not working at the time of the murder."

Over the past few years, investigators traveled to five states conducting more than 100 interviews with family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and current and former Atkinson residents.

"As the investigation progressed, Robert Clark could not be excluded and rose to be the strongest person of interest in the case," according to the news release.

Clark was later convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl in Galva, Illinois. According to the press release, he was sentenced to 6 years in prison but only served two days in the county jail after winning an appeal in a higher court.

The news release states the two men investigative team assigned to the cold case in 2013, uncovered new information from witnesses who were either not spoken with during the initial investigation or remained silent out of fear.

"The two man investigative team located several people connected to Clark over the years and documented a consistent pattern of violent criminal behavior and mental illness spanning Clark's entire adult life. Several people from Clark's past were reluctant to speak about him until after they learned he was deceased. By the late 1980's, Clark had been married and divorced three times. During one of many violent attacks against his second wife, Clark reportedly stated he had killed before and would do it again. Clark threatened to bury her body in the coal mine."

On September 29th, 2014, Mary Ann's body was exhumed with the hope of collecting physical evidence for DNA, not available in 1974.

It was a long shot, and the results were unsuccessful in developing a full suspect DNA profile, because of deterioration of the victim's body.

Vandemore Funeral homes, owned by Joel Vandemore, stepped in and provided a new casket, private ceremony, and reburial, free of charge.

Illinois State Police and the Henry County State's Attorney's office are releasing their findings just days before the 43rd anniversary of the murder, hoping someone comes forward with even more information to confirm their belief that Clark is the perpetrator of the crime that shocked the small town of 1,100.

Meanwhile, Mary Ann's family is withdrawing their $15,000 reward, "confident" enough the responsible person has been identified.

According to news reports at the time, Mary Ann was a "shy and quiet type of girl", an "A student at Atkinson High School."

The unsolved murder was the oldest cold case on the Illinois State Police's Unsolved Crimes web page.

South Korea said it expects another North Korean intercontinental ballistic Missile launch on Saturday. The prime minister of South Korea said "It doesn't seem like there's much time left before North Korea achieves it's complete nuclear armament". The 'US Forces Korea' were transporting 4 THAAD missile interceptor launchers to a base in Seongju.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Protesters scuffled with armored riot police as they attempted to block the road where US Forces Korea were transporting four additional THAAD missile interceptor launches to a base in Seongju, around 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Seoul. Two launchers have been operational at the site since May.

That rollout was "temporarily" completed Thursday, a spokesman for South Korea's defense ministry said, adding it was necessary to counter increased threats from North Korea.

South Korea President Moon Jae-in met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Thursday morning in Vladivostok where they're attending the Eastern Economic Forum, hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

After the meeting, Abe and Moon issued a statement saying "now is the time to further increase sanctions and pressures against the North as much as possible rather than seeking dialogue," according to Moon's spokesman Yoon Young-chan.

The two leaders felt Russian and Chinese involvement was paramount and agreed to work towards that goal, Yoon said. Abe is due to meet Putin separately later today.

THAAD fallout

Opposition to THAAD has been fierce both within South Korea and without.

As the additional missile launchers arrived in Seongju late Wednesday, they were met by hundreds of protesters, who believe the system's presence could lead to environmental and health problems.

THAAD has also been opposed by peace campaigners, who have held rallies in Seoul and other cities warning it could lead to an escalation of tensions with North Korea.

Speaking to CNN this week, Moon Chung-in, a special adviser to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, said the government had dropped its previous skepticism over THAAD "partly because of American pressure and partly because of the heightened threat of North Korea."

It has also caused diplomatic rifts between South Korea and its neighbor China, which Seoul says imposed unofficial sanctions on it after deployment began, with Chinese tourist groups encouraged to boycott South Korea and Chinese consumers attacking Korean companies online.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang warned this week that further THAAD deployment "can only severely damage the strategic security balance in the region," harm the strategic interests of other countries such as China and cause further antagonism on the Korean Peninsula.

Russia has also criticized the move.

Seoul-Washington rift

During his election campaign earlier this year, President Moon was a noted skeptic of THAAD, and called for greater dialogue with North Korea.

His efforts have been hampered by bellicose rhetoric on all sides of the North Korean issue, and worsening relations between Seoul and Washington.

US President Donald Trump criticized Moon this week for seeking "appeasement" with Pyongyang, while in August, Moon issued a forceful statement rebuking Trump's threats of "fire and fury" against North Korea, saying that any military actions on the Korean Peninsula must be made in consultation and with agreement from Seoul.

Though he took a more critical view this week, Moon previously raised the notion of military talks between North and South as a way to possibly ease the growing strain. Trump, who also once favored talks with Pyongyang, recently said this was "not the answer."

He has also publicly weighed scrapping a US trade deal with South Korea in a bid to fulfill promises he made during the election campaign, and threatened to make South Korea pay for THAAD, even though it was Washington pushing for the system's deployment.

"If we work together, we can come up with a collective solution to the North Korean problem," Moon Chung-in said.

He pointed to the Iran nuclear deal, which was negotiated successfully by the Obama administration but has looked fragile under Trump, saying "if the US had spent even one fifth of the time and effort on the North Korean issue compared with the Iranian case, then the North Korean nuclear issue could have been resolved."

Oscar winning Jennifer Lawrence says that the hurricanes in Texas and approaching Florida is because of Trumps win and it's mother nature's wrath.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence suggested the devastating hurricanes in Texas and approaching Florida were signs of "Mother Nature's rage and wrath" at America for electing Donald Trump and not believing in man-made climate change.

Lawrence, who is promoting her new drama movie "Mother!," appeared on British network Channel 4 on Wednesday, where she discussed topics ranging from the movie to the gender pay gap and Trump.

"It's scary," the actress responded to the interviewer's assertion that there was "an end-of-days feeling" across the world and especially in the U.S.

"You know, it's this new language that's forming. I don't even recognize it. It's also scary to know that climate change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it, and the only voice that we really have is through voting."

"And you have voted very recently, as a country" the reporter noted - to which Lawrence replied that "it was really starting" Trump was elected. She then suggested the recent hurricanes devastating Texas and nearing Florida may have been prompted by Trump winning the presidency.

"You know, you're watching these hurricanes now, and it's really hard, especially while promoting this movie, not to feel Mother Nature's rage and wrath," Lawrence said.

Lawrence later said the conversation topics of Trump and U.S. politics were "really polarizing and upsetting."

She added: "You know, I've heard things and seen things on TV in my own country that devastate me and make me sick, and it's just really confusing."

After being asked whether she finds Trump confusing, the actress fired back, saying, "I don't find him confusing. I think I know exactly what he is."

Lawrence has previously let others know how she feels about the president. In 2015, when Trump had just launched his presidential campaign, she said a victory by him would "be the end of the world," during an Entertainment Weekly interview.

At least 32 people die from the earthquake that hit Mexico

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MEXICO CITY, Sept 7 (Reuters) - At least 32 people were killed after a massive 8.1 magnitude earthquake, one of the biggest recorded in Mexico, struck off the country's southern coast late on Thursday, causing cracks in buildings and triggering a small tsunami, authorities said.

The quake was apparently stronger than a devastating 1985 temblor that flattened swathes of Mexico City and killed thousands, but this time, damage to the city was limited.

A number of buildings suffered severe damage in parts of southern Mexico. Some of the worst initial reports came from the town of Juchitan in Oaxaca state, where sections of the town hall, a hotel, a bar and other buildings were reduced to rubble.

Alejandro Murat, the state governor, said 23 deaths were registered in Oaxaca, 17 of them in Juchitan.

A spokesman for emergency services said seven people were also confirmed dead in the neighboring state of Chiapas. Earlier, the governor of Tabasco, Arturo Nunez, said two children had died in his state.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the 8.1 magnitude quake had its epicenter in the Pacific Ocean, 54 miles (87 km) southwest of the town of Pijijiapan in the impoverished southern state of Chiapas, at a depth of 43 miles.

Rescue workers labored through the night in badly affected areas to check for people trapped in collapsed buildings.

Windows were shattered at Mexico City airport and power went out in several neighborhoods of the capital, affecting more than one million people. The cornice of a hotel came down in the southern tourist city of Oaxaca, a witness said.

The tremor was felt as far away as neighboring Guatemala.

The quake triggered waves as high as 2.3 ft (0.7 m) in Mexico, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. Mexican television showed images of the sea retreating about 50 meters, and authorities evacuated some coastal areas.

President Enrique Pena Nieto said the tsunami risk on the Chiapas coast was not major.

"We are alert," he told local television.

More aftershocks were likely, the president said, advising people to check their homes and offices for structural damage and for gas leaks. The USGS reported multiple aftershocks, ranging in magnitude from 4.3 to 5.7.

Classes were suspended in most of central and southern Mexico on Friday to allow authorities to review damage.

There was no tsunami threat for American Samoa and Hawaii, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning System. The national disaster agency of the Philippines put the country's eastern seaboard on alert, but no evacuation was ordered.

J.R. Atkins is diagnosed with a flesh-eating bacterial infection as he is a first responder to Hurricane Harvey. He has undergone multiple surgeries and is now in recovery. Originally, he had a small bite on one of his arms, which then had escalated to losing feeling in his finger and dropping blood pressure-- sure signs of sepsis. He had to have the necrotizing faciitis removed through these surgeries.

A Hurricane Harvey hero is recovering from multiple surgeries after he contracted a flesh-eating bacteria infection during rescue efforts. R.J. Atkins, a former medic and firefighter in Missouri City, Texas, hopped into a kayak last week and set off to check on neighbors after the Hurricane hit.

In a lengthy Facebook post on Sept. 6, Atkins described his medical ordeal that started with a small bite on his left arm.

"Wednesday 7 a.m. wake up to more swelling across my arms. Take pictures for medical advice and antibiotics ordered," Atkins posted.

He said that by later that morning he noticed the swelling had crossed over onto his wrist and was working its way down his hand so he went to an urgent care clinic, where staff told him to get to the emergency room immediately. Atkins was admitted to Houston Methodist in Sugar Land and landed in the intensive care unit after he lost feeling in his pinky and his blood pressure dropped.

Atkins was seen by an infectious disease specialist, and underwent several surgeries to remove the necrotizing fasciitis bacteria. He told KPRC that sepsis had started to set in and he likely would have died if he didn't seek immediate help.

"If it wouldn't have been for the nurses here at Methodist, I probably would have not been able to make it through it," Atkins told KPRC. "What I would like people to understand dis that I went out in storm water, I didn't go out in sewage, so if you look at what's going on in Houston and you look at the draining issues ... there's way worse stuff out there."

According to the Sept. 6 post, Atkins was hoping to be discharged from the hospital this week.

Is Ivanka Trump really a key player or is she just "Daddy's little girl?" Ivanka and her husband are both white house advisers. She post a lot on social media and tries to help boost her father. On the other side she is much more favored over her other sister Tiffany. On a trip to North Dakota she asked if she could go and she was allowed to speak at the event.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
That's the question President Trump says his 35-year-old daughter, Ivanka, posed to him before his trip this week to North Dakota, where he talked to a crowd about tax reform. "Yes," he says he told her, "you can."

With that introduction, little Ivanka took the stage.

Among the many confounding aspects of the Trump presidency has been the role of Ivanka, his elder, and clearly favored, daughter. (When's the last time you heard him talk about Tiffany, his daughter with ex-wife Marla Maples, never mind trot her out before a crowd of voters?) Ivanka and her husband are official White House advisors -- and two of the President's closest.

Ivanka Trump presents herself on social media and elsewhere as socially progressive. And she has been pegged by many as a (notably female) counter to Trump's more openly conservative stances on everything from immigration and national security to, yes, women.

But whether she's actually succeeded in pulling her father away from the strongest impulses of the right remains up for debate. This was perhaps never more clearly seen than in her father's bumbling post-Charlottesville attack statements. After all, if ever there was a time for Trump's Jewish daughter to sway her father to moderation, it was then. Instead, he chose to defend the "good" people among the white supremacist crowd.

But then, how much pull could we actually expect her to have with a man who refers to himself as her "Daddy?" The moniker, used in relation to a person on one's senior staff, is unprofessional at best, demeaning and infantilizing at worst.

Trump is known for off-the-cuff, ill-worded remarks, even when it comes to his daughter. ("If Ivanka weren't my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her," he declared in 2016.) And if he does, in fact, view her as his eternal little girl in some way, it wouldn't be all that uncommon among fathers, even the most evolved of whom can have a hard time seeing their girls as women.

One could argue that sometimes, "Daddy" is just a name, a term of endearment -- not an indication of some perceived immaturity.

The difference, of course, is that Trump has made his little girl one of the more powerful women in Washington, at least by title. When you do that, you don't get to bring your family nicknames, especially if they can be read as juvenile, onto the national stage.

The Trumps don't have the luxury of not being examined. Having a Commander in Chief refer to himself as the "Daddy" of a 35-year-old woman, having him assert that she -- one of his most important advisors -- pleadingly called him that as she asked be taken along on a trip, is off-putting to say the least.

We don't know how she felt about being a character in his "Daddy" story -- many daughters would be mortified. But by parading her in this way, he not only risks people not taking her, or women in general, seriously -- he does the same to himself. Behind every powerful woman is her ... daddy? What a great message to be sending to our young girls. Daddy-in-Chief? Not comforting.

To be fair, Ivanka has assumed a role that, while not uncommon between generations of powerful people, is far more common between men and their adult sons. Consequently, there is an element of progress, and progressiveness, in all of this, deep down.

And, as she has shown in her ability to find herself in the presence of world leaders -- "popping in" on meetings with congressional leaders to push her child tax credit, as she did Wednesday to GOP leaders' reported annoyance -- she is not without an agenda, and the will to see it fulfilled.

The catch-22 for Ivanka, of course, is that her ability to make change is both enabled, and threatened, by her father. Or, that is, her daddy. Can she overcome? It's a tough job for a little girl.

That's the question President Trump says his 35-year-old daughter, Ivanka, posed to him before his trip this week to North Dakota, where he talked to a crowd about tax reform. "Yes," he says he told her, "you can." With that introduction, little Ivanka took the stage.

Authorities arrested four teenagers Labor Day weekend, for igniting a 100-acre wildfire. The teens were playing with illegal fireworks when flames broke out.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police arrested four teenagers Thursday after they allegedly sparked the Gilroy Ballybunion Fire in northern California while playing with illegal fireworks during Labor Day Weekend.

The teens, aged 14 and 15, were seen using "firecrackers" Sunday night in Gilroy, according to police, when flames broke out on the hillside. Police said the teens tried to extinguish the blaze but it soon spread out of control, The Mercury News reported.

The Ballybunion Fire, which grew to 100-acres in Gilroy, was deemed 100% contained Thursday afternoon, according to Cal Fire's incident report. No homes or structures were damaged, but one firefighter was briefly hospitalized after losing his footing and falling 40 feet. Firefighters are expected to remain on the scene for a few days for "fire line repair."

Police interviewed the teens and arrested them for unlawfully causing a fire on forest land -- a felony offense punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to three years.

The teens were released to the custody of their parents, and police said the case has been sent to the Santa Clara County Juvenile Probation Department for review and prosecution.

Hurricane Irma is now aimed directly at Florida. The highways were congested as the deadly Category 4 hurricane took a direct aim at the southern U.S.
Irma, even though it has been downgraded to a 4 from a 5,  was still regarded as most powerful in the Atlantic in recorded history. The hurricane brought sustained winds of 155 mph.
FEMA Administrator Brock Long has said, "Hurricane Irma continues to be a threat that is going to devestate the United States in either Florida or some of the southeastern states." He has warned that parts of Florida are going to be without electricity for days, if not longer, and more than 100,000 people might need shelter.
At a Friday news conference, the Governor of Florida has stated that the Florida Keys will begin to feel the effects of Irma by Saturday morning. All Floridians are to be prepared to evacuate.The storm is wider than the entire state of Florida.
23 deaths, at least, have already occurred due to Irma

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Floridians clogged highways in a desperate scramble to get out of Hurricane Irma's crosshairs, as the deadly Category 4 storm took direct aim at the southern United States, shifting westward Friday as the worst case scenario became the most-likely situation.

Irma, downgraded from Category 5, was still regarded as the most powerful in the Atlantic in recorded history, bringing sustained winds of 150 mph - not as strong as the 185 mph of previous days, but forceful enough to cause severe damage to homes and other structures.

"This is a storm of absolutely historic destructive potential," President Trump said in a videotaped statement.

He urged all those in the storm's path to "heed all recommendations" from officials.

"Hurricane Irma continues to be a threat that is going to devastate the United States in either Florida or some of the southeastern states,'' FEMA Administrator Brock Long said at a news briefing on Friday. He warned that parts of Florida would be out of electricity for days if not longer and that more than 100,000 people may need shelter.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott said during a Friday news conference the Florida Keys would begin to feel Irma's effects by Saturday morning. He said Irma, on its current path, was more deadly than Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 storm that killed 65 in August 1992.

"All Floridians should be prepared to evacuate," Scott said, though he acknowledged the evacuations were causing a logjam on the state's roads. Scott said as of 6 p.m. Thursday 8.4 million gallons of fuel had been shipped into Port Everglades and more than five million gallons of fuel was shipped into Port Tampa Bay.

But Scott emphasized the seriousness of getting to a safe location.

At least 23 deaths have already been attributed to Irma: Nine in Saint Martin and Saint Barts, four in the U.S. Virgin Islands, four in the British Virgin Islands, three in Puerto Rico and one each in Sint Maarten, Antigua and Barbuda and Anguilla.

Cuba started evacuating tourists, including 36,000 visitors to its northern resorts, Reuters added.

Puerto Rico still had hundreds of thousands of customers left without electricity.

Turks and Caicos lost communications as the storm struck, but the full extent of the devastation there was not immediately clear.

An update at 11 a.m. Friday from the National Hurricane Center showed Irma with wind gusts of 150 mph. The storm was moving about 14 mph, the hurricane center said

The hurricane center said its storm surge warning covers Sebastian Inlet southward around the Florida peninsula to Venice and the Florida Keys.

Its hurricane warning covers Jupiter Inlet southward around the Florida peninsula to Bonita Beach, as well as the Florida Keys, Lake Okeechobee, and Florida Bay.

In addition, a storm surge watch has been issued for North of Sebastian Inlet to Ponce Inlet.

A hurricane watch has been issued for the east coast of Florida
north of Jupiter Inlet to the Flagler/Volusia County line and for the west coast of Florida north of Bonita Beach to Anclote River.

Key West tweeted to residents that it's "not safe to stay" and Jacksonville Florida wrote on Twitter that residents need to "hunker down" in a secure place by 8 p.m. on Saturday night.

In the U.S. Virgin Islands, hurricane victims received assistance from three U.S. Navy vessels deployed to the U.S. territory: the USS Wasp, USS Kearsarge and USS Oak Hill.

The Navy crews aboard the ships were able to offer medical support, security, heavy lift capabilities and other assistance, a U.S. Navy release said.

Amtrak suspended train service in Florida just before noon on Friday.

Gov. Scott said he's activated 4,000 members of the National Guard in Florida, and all 7,000 will be deployed on Friday.

Shifting forecasts have also raised the threat to the Southeast from Irma, prompting emergency declarations in the Carolinas and coastal Georgia, including areas that haven't suffered a direct hit from a major hurricane in more than a century.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal ordered a mandatory evacuation starting on Saturday from the state's Atlantic coast ahead of Hurricane Irma, including the city of Savannah. Nearly 540,000 residents on the coast were ordered to evacuate inland.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster also declared a state of emergency. A major strike there would be the first in nearly 28 years.

The most powerful earthquake hit Mexico in 100 years. At least 32 people are dead. The magnitude of the earthquake was 8.2. Many home were leveled. The quake struck 450 miles. 50 million people felt the quake across Mexico.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The effects were also felt in Guatemala, where at least one person died and homes along the border with Mexico were leveled.

Schools in at least 10 Mexican states and in Mexico City were ordered closed on Friday as the president ordered an immediate assessment of the damage nationwide. In the hours after the quake, the National Seismological Service registered several aftershocks.

Still, the resounding feeling in the country was one, at least initially, of relief that the damage was not more widespread, given the nation's vulnerability to earthquakes and the capital's extreme density.

"We are assessing the damage, which will probably take hours, if not days," said President Enrique Peña Nieto, who addressed the nation just two hours after the quake. "But the population is safe over all. There should not be a major sense of panic."

Mexico is situated near several boundaries where portions of the earth's crust collide. The quake on Thursday was more powerful than the one that killed nearly 10,000 people in 1985.

But while the quake on Thursday struck nearly 450 miles from the capital and off the coast of Chiapas State, the one in 1985 was much closer to the city - so the shaking, coupled with Mexico City being situated on an ancient lake bed, proved much more deadly.

After the 1985 disaster, construction codes were reviewed and stiffened. Today, Mexico's construction laws are considered as strict as those in the United States or Japan.

After the quake hit, people in Mexico City streamed out of their homes in the dark, wearing nightclothes, standing amid the apartment buildings, cafes and bars in upscale neighborhoods and the dense warrens of the city's working-class communities. In the Condesa area, neighbors watched in awe as power lines swayed alongside trees and buildings. In several neighborhoods, the power was out, though it was restored within an hour, at least in the wealthier parts of the capital.

For a city used to earthquakes, Thursday's quake left a lasting impression on residents, for both its force and duration.

"The scariest part of it all is that if you are an adult, and you've lived in this city your adult life, you remember 1985 very vividly," said Alberto Briseño, a 58-year-old bar manager in Condesa. "This felt as strong and as bad, but from what I see, we've been spared from major tragedy."

"Now we will do what us Mexicans do so well: Take the bitter taste of this night and move on," he added.

The quake occurred near the Middle America Trench, a zone in the eastern Pacific where one slab of the earth's crust, called the Cocos Plate, is sliding under another, the North American, in a process called subduction.

The movement is very slow - about three inches a year - and over time stresses build because of friction between the slabs. At some point the strain becomes so great that the rock breaks and slips along a fault. This releases vast amounts of energy and, if the slip occurs under the ocean, can move a lot of water suddenly, causing a tsunami.

Subduction zones ring the Pacific Ocean and are found in other regions as well. They are responsible for the world's largest earthquakes and most devastating tsunamis. The magnitude 9 earthquake off Japan in 2011 that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the magnitude 9.1 quake in Indonesia in 2004 that spawned tsunamis that killed a quarter of a million people around the Indian Ocean are recent examples.

Those quakes each released about 30 times as much energy as the one in Mexico.

Mexico's government issued a tsunami warning off the coast of Oaxaca and Chiapas after Thursday's quake, but neither state appeared to have been adversely affected by waves in the aftermath. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the largest wave recorded on Mexico's Pacific Coast measured less than four feet.

In his address, Mr. Peña Nieto said that aftershocks were of greater concern than the waves generated by the earthquake, which he said was the strongest to hit the country in a century.

Rudy Gomez, 28, who lives in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City, said that he spoke to relatives in Chiapas by phone after the quake and that they were all fine. They were worried, however, about the aftershocks.

"After the earthquake, there were three more," he said of the aftershocks in Chiapas. "They are just waiting to see if there is another one to come, but right now they are O.K."

In the state of Oaxaca, the town of Juchitán appeared particularly hard-hit, as part of City Hall collapsed and there were reports of damage to buildings across the city. In a video posted on the Facebook page of a local television station, Pamela Terán, who introduced herself as a city councilor, begged the state and federal authorities for help.

"Please, we urgently need as much help as you can send," she said. "We need hands and manpower to try and dig out the people that we know are buried under the rubble."

The same TV station, Cortamortaja, reported the collapse of a hospital in Juchitán and showed images of doctors and nurses treating patients in the backyard.

In Guatemala, the military was out early Friday morning assessing the damage, found mainly in the western part of the country.

In the state capital of Huehuetenango, bricks and glass were strewn on the ground as walls collapsed. Quetzaltenango, Guatemala's second-largest city, which was beginning to recover from a tremor in June, suffered more damage to its historic center.
