"Islamist extremists in Burkina Faso carried out a two-day killing spree, slaughtering hundreds of civilians, including 26 worshippers at a church service, according to reports, which identify the incident as one of the deadliest attacks in the West African country since the Islamist insurgency began nine years ago.

The victims in Sanaba were members of a Christian Alliance Evangelical church attending a Sunday service. on Aug 25. Armed militants tied the hands of 26 Christian men and cut their throats, according to a pastor from the capital, Ouagadougou, who visited the site afterward. Survivors sought refuge in a local school." Protestia

"The remnants of Hurricane Helene stalled over the Tennessee Valley Saturday as the death toll from the destructive storm climbed to 52, with nearly 3.8 million homes and businesses across 10 states still without power, as damage estimates swelled to $110 billion.

United States after making landfall in Florida Thursday night.
Helene, one of the most powerful storms to rip through the
US, packing up to 140 mph winds, was the third system to tear through the Panhandle region in just over a year.
Deaths were recorded across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, including a mother and her twin babies, three firefighters and an 89-year-old woman whose home was crushed by a downed tree.
Significant river flooding continued across the southern Appalachians Saturday and flood warnings remained in effect for portions of the Southeast.

The dam remained intact despite water levels reaching 8 feet over the record crest, but officials said continued assessments were underway to determine “next steps,” the Tennessee Valley Authority said."
