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.

A tropical depression is when you've just broken up with your wife and go to some tropical island to clear your mind, only to find yourself waking up next to an ugly big whore, a nasty headache and a rash you never had before.

Specifically, a rented bus full of construction workers being driven by a Mr. Rodriguez, an illegal immigrant from Honduras who had no drivers license, crashed into a fire truck, killing two people. From TFA:
This was a terrible accident on top of an already tragic situation.

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.

Offtopic? It quotes, and adds detail to, TFS, and quotes TFA, about a (peripherally) weather-related accident.
You could wonder why that bit is in TFS, but how does that make discussion of the information in TFS/TFA offtopic?
