🌊 Dangerous Lake Erie conditions continue today, with rough waves, rip currents, and possible waterspouts along parts of Ohio’s shoreline. Read more in Top Stories.

Today’s sponsor, Doroni, is giving investors an opportunity to get in early as the company advances its vision of personal flying cars, backed by hundreds of reservations, a growing urban air mobility market, and plans to trade under the Nasdaq ticker $DRNI.

Lake Erie Swimming Remains Dangerous

Dangerous swimming conditions are expected along Lake Erie through tonight from Cedar Point east to the Pennsylvania state line, prompting the National Weather Service to warn swimmers to stay out of the water.

A Beach Hazards Statement covers Erie, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, and Ashtabula counties, where waves of 3 to 7 feet are expected along with a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents can quickly carry swimmers away from shore.

The weather service is urging visitors to follow posted signs and closures and avoid piers, breakwalls, and river outlets. Waterspouts are also possible through today amid isolated thunderstorms.

Court Upholds Out-of-State Wind Farms

The Ohio Supreme Court upheld state approval in a ruling allowing six wind farms in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa to qualify as renewable-energy resources eligible to sell power in Ohio.

Carbon Solutions Group challenged certifications issued by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, arguing that Avangrid didn’t meet the criteria to be certified in the Buckeye State.

The majority found that PUCO’s staff testimony and analysis supported the certifications and rejected the challenge. Justice Patrick Fischer dissented in part, arguing that PUCO had violated record-keeping requirements and that the evidence was insufficient to uphold the commission’s decision.

Gauff, Fils Win Cincinnati Titles

Coco Gauff captured her second Cincinnati Open title Sunday with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over fellow American Jessica Pegula, while France’s Arthur Fils defeated American Frances Tiafoe 6-3, 1-6, 6-0 to claim his first Masters 1000 championship.

The women’s final was Cincinnati’s first all-American title match since 1970. Gauff raced to a 5-0 lead in the opening set, then held off Pegula’s second-set rally to secure her second Rookwood Cup and 12th career WTA title.

Fils, 22, seized control in the deciding set to become the youngest French Masters 1000 champion and the first Frenchman to win at that level since Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2014.

The victory will lift Fils to a career-high No. 11 in the ATP rankings, while both champions now turn their attention to the U.S. Open in New York.

“The Future of Flight is Coming”

This statement from the U.S. transportation secretary after his historic flight in an eVTOL this June has captured Wall Street’s attention.

Just last month, the FAA’s MOSAIC rule took full effect, expanding the certification pathway for personal aircrafts like Doroni’s H1-X. And Florida’s leading the charge, selected as one of eight regions to lead the FAA’s flying car pilot program.

That's flying car company Doroni’s home turf. Luckily, they’ve spent nearly a decade building toward this moment. Backed by 12,000+ investors & customers alike, they’ve already received 600+ preorders for their H1-X, good for $240M+ in revenue.

Next, Doroni’s targeting commercial deliveries by 2028 and projecting $1.4B in annual revenue by 2032.

Invest in Doroni today at $3.30/share.
