The Wisconsin State Fair canceled its final day after severe Midwest storms brought historic rainfall to the Milwaukee area. Some spots saw over 10 inches in just a few hours, triggering flash flooding. Overnight flooding on Saturday left some Wisconsin residents stranded in their homes and forced drivers to abandon their vehicles in roadways, while around 50,000 people lost power. See photos here. Meanwhile, nearly 400 inmates at Nebraska State Penitentiary had to be moved to another facility after weekend storms damaged parts of the state's oldest prison. | $7K in Labubu Dolls Stolen in LA Area A group of masked burglars raided a store in La Puente, California, early Wednesday, making off with about $7,000 in collectible Labubu dolls, authorities said. Surveillance video shows the crew using a stolen Toyota Tacoma to ram into the storefront before sprinting inside, ripping merchandise from shelves, and hauling boxes to the truck. The break-in left the glass shattered and the display overturned. The store said its entire inventory had been taken. Deputies later found the abandoned truck, but the suspects remain on the run. The toothy designer toys by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung are considered hot-ticket items, with prices ranging from around $20 to over $1,000 for rare figures. | Almanac Predicts Warm Fall With kids heading back to school and the autumn equinox just weeks away, many are turning to the Old Farmer's Almanac, which forecasts a dry, warmer-than-usual fall for most of the country after an exceptionally hot summer. The Northeast, Ohio Valley, and parts of the Upper Midwest will buck the trend with cooler, wetter weather starting in September. The warmth could help homeowners finish outdoor projects before winter, though hurricane season remains active through mid-September along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Alaska is also set for a mild fall, while Hawaii is expected to be slightly cooler than normal.

This paradoxical discovery explains why certain island populations maintain slim waistlines well into their 80s despite consuming this fruit daily.
