USA Today reports that Tropical Depression Eight is moving towards the east coast of North Carolina, and the National Hurricane Center expects the storm to develop into Tropical Storm Hermine.

In the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Depression Nine is projected to strengthen into a tropical storm and make landfall around central Florida. It could also bring more rain to Louisiana, which is still recovering from last week's deadly floods. On Sunday, a bus carrying relief workers headed to Baton Rouge crashed into a fire truck, killing two people and injuring dozens.

Category 3 Hurricane Gaston is projected to move further into the Atlantic Ocean and weaken.

    But who will drive the construction workers to build it?

      Easy: They build the wall starting from the American side to Mexican side. Once they're finished, they'll be behind the wall. In Mexico. Where they belong.
