Hurricane Idalia en route to Florida after whipping Cuba with strong winds, flooding

Tropical storm Idalia is nearing hurricane strength and is forecast to become a hurricane on Monday as it tracks toward the Gulf Coast of Florida, on a path that is expected to impact a wide central chunk of the state, including cities like Tampa and Orlando.

The storm has already lashed western Cuba, with heavy rains and high winds, though the impact of the storm has yet to be assessed.

Thousands of people had to be evacuated in the country.

Idalia was barreling about 130 kilometers off the western tip of Cuba as of Monday and was packing maximum sustained winds of 112 kilometers per hour as it moved north, the National Hurricane Center said.

Bruhat Soma Wins National Spelling Bee

Bruhat Soma , Wins National Spelling Bee. 12-year-old Bruhat from Tampa, Florida, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on May 30. 12-year-old Bruhat from Tampa, Florida, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on May 30. During a lightning-round tiebreaker with Faizan Zaki, Bruhat correctly spelled 29 words in 90 seconds, AP reports. . Bruhat received a trophy and over $50,000 in cash and prizes. I was pretty confident that I had a chance at winning because I’ve been working so hard. And I really wanted to win. That’s why I practiced the spell-off so much, Bruhat Soma, via statement. The word that Bruhat won the competition with was "abseil.". It means "descent in mountaineering by means of a rope looped over a projection above.". The finals only had eight spellers competing, the fewest since 2010, AP reports. . Some critics were upset that the two spellers were subjected to a "spell-off" instead of being given the chance to compete in a conventional round. I do wish that we would have gotten to see more of a duel between them, Charlotte Walsh, 2023 Spelling Bee runner-up. I definitely think they should have been given an opportunity to have some conventional spelling rounds before they defaulted to the spell-off, Scott Remer, one of four coaches who worked with Faizan, via statement
