Now, it’s South Carolina’s turn.

Hurricane Ian has left the skies over Florida, but much damage and heartache remains. Next to feel the storm’s wrath will be South Carolina.

According to The Associated Press, Ian weakened to a tropical storm and then regained its status as a Hurricane as it moved across Florida and into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s expected to make landfall on Friday.

Ian left behind 2.67 million customers in Florida without electrical power and killed at least one person.

Russian President Vladimir Putin conceded on Thursday that the military conscription imposed this week – with prompted protests and evasions – suffered from “mistakes.”

According to The New York Times, Putin said “all mistakes must be corrected and prevented from happening in the future.”

Among the missteps in the draft to get soldiers to fight in Ukraine were taking fathers with three or more children, men with chronic diseases and those too old to serve in the Russian military.
