Storms
An intense storm system that brought torrential rains and flooding to the Southeastern coast over the weekend is descending upon the Northeast today, threatening to snarl morning commutes with miserable downpours and gusty winds. Traffic along swaths of the East Coast's busy I-95 corridor will contend with ankle-deep floodwaters that are anticipated in some low-lying areas. About 58 million people are under flood watches from North Carolina to Maine today, while New Yorkers could face around 1 foot of inundation in some areas. Around 45 million people from eastern Georgia to the Northeast were also under high wind alerts late Sunday.
Quaker Oats recall
The FDA announced a recall of more than 40 Quaker Oats granola bar and cereal products because they could be contaminated with salmonella. The affected foods were sold across all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico, Guam and Saipan. The recalled items include the classic Chewy granola bar variety pack, the chocolate-covered Chewy Dipps bars, puffed and protein cereals, and even granola bars that are included in some Frito-Lays snack boxes, according to a list from the FDA. There have been no reports of foodborne illness related to the recall but the FDA says consumers should check their pantries and dispose of any affected products.
