With ferocious 130-mph winds, Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall late Thursday in Florida as a devastating, Category 4 storm. A federal indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams remains sealed. Ukraine's leader is in Washington on Thursday to discuss U.S. support for its defense against Russia.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert, Daily Briefing author. Smell that? A strange odor has made its way across southwest Washington state.

Helene now projected as Category 4 hurricane

Hurricane Helene, now barreling toward a landfall on the Florida Gulf Coast Thursday, will continue to increase in wind speed over the next couple of days. As it gains power, it will also increase in categories on the official hurricane wind scale, which goes from 1 to 5.

Helene's true toll will depend on where it makes landfall, and how its other effects like flooding, storm surge and tornadoes unfold. But its wind speed and category at landfall will especially affect power outages and structural damage.

Why Helene's hurricane category matters: If it did hit at Cat 4 power, the storm by definition would be be expected to leave a trail of "catastrophic" damage. 
A frightening forecast: Helene's projected impact is so vast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration took the rare step of telling news organizations to emphasize how much damage the hurricane figures to cause in inland locations well beyond the Florida Gulf Coast.
See the projected path: The forecast of Helene's rapid intensification from a potential tropical cyclone to an aggressive hurricane appeared to be the fastest progression ever predicted for a depression by the National Hurricane Center.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams indicted

An indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams is likely to be unsealed Thursday when Adams may appear in court. Adams faces federal criminal charges, according to multiple reports, after authorities raided the homes of his top aides and confidants earlier this month in what appeared to be part of a major corruption investigation in the Big Apple. In a video statement released late Wednesday, Adams, a former police captain who won the mayoral election nearly three years ago to become the city's second Black mayor, called the charges "entirely false."

Amid a rape kit backlog, a detective follows new DNA evidence

Untested rape kits have piled up in evidence rooms and storage sheds across the country.

WNBA speaks out against racist fan behavior

Some of Caitlin Clark's fans are making it impossible for the 143 women of the WNBA to just play basketball. Fans have used racial and misogynistic slurs in messages to league players, while others have mocked the (almost exclusively) Black players with stiletto nails. The WNBA released a strong statement Wednesday night following the Connecticut Sun's 87-81 win over the Indiana Fever ended Clark's postseason run. The league said in the social media post it is monitoring threats to players and will involve law enforcement if necessary. But was it too late? With Clark out of the playoffs, and out of the spotlight, toxic behavior from her fanbase will disappear. Read more

WNBA speaks out against racist fan behavior Some of Caitlin Clark's fans are making it impossible for the 143 women of the WNBA to just play basketball. Fans have used racial and misogynistic slurs in messages to league players, while others have mocked the (almost exclusively) Black players with stiletto nails. The WNBA released a strong statement Wednesday night following the Connecticut Sun's 87-81 win over the Indiana Fever ended Clark's postseason run. The league said in the social media post it is monitoring threats to players and will involve law enforcement if necessary. But was it too late? With Clark out of the playoffs, and out of the spotlight, toxic behavior from her fanbase will disappear. https://click.e.usatoday.com/?qs=3e8917b697b050707ae46ffec1e459f4b64fc6eb9ced9d1436a815279bfcc4f0f6e5e507d2a6ce57f3c5ac8f0f6fc3c292d6a74c11b575a9c0ca24fece06fc9d Read more Caitlin Clark opened Game 2 with a 3-pointer as Indiana took an early lead.
