Food
Yes, the sky appears more blue in the fall, fall colors are affected by climate change, and some PSLs have pumpkin, but pumpkin spice blend does not.
It's officially fall and we're here to explain some claims about autumn foliage, blue skies, and pumpkin (or lack thereof).

Social Media

A “flash flood emergency” is a relatively new type of flash flood warning used for only the most dangerous floods that rise beyond typical flood levels.
Weather
Yes, Hurricane Ida temporarily reversed the flow of part of the Mississippi River
Powerful winds pushed the water inland and temporarily reversed the flow in a section of the river. This also happened during Hurricane Isaac and Hurricane Katrina.
