11 Years Ago Yesterday: Hurricane Wilma and the Streak
The talk of the sports world recently has been streaks. Tonight, the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians match up in the World Series, and these two teams have been apart of two of the more absurd streaks in sports history.

Although the captain reported, “the strength of the storm had surprised everyone and […]
Hurricane Joaquin Strengthens
Hurricane Joaquin continues to strengthen as it turns into a Category 4 hurricane. Check out the video below from The Capital Weather Gang as they explain this violent storm and its impacts on the east coast. Joaquin looks to be tracking eastward, but the National Hurricane Center (NHC) believes that landfall is still […]
