Florida wildfires threaten I-4 corridor and Miami-Dade blaze
A 10,000 acre central Florida wildfire closed Interstate 4 for ten days and began a 10 mile reopening plan as crews built a 3,000 foot water pipeline. A separate 10,500 acre brush fire burned in northwest Miami Dade and the Miccosukee Reservation. A ferry collision near Marco Island killed one and injured two aboard a smaller boat, while doctors faced a hospital suspension over a surgery error at Long Island College Hospital.

California energy use: big state, not energy hogs
California consumes a large amount of electricity but ranks near the bottom for per capita use. Experts credit climate, efficiency standards, and conservation since the 1970s for keeping consumption relatively modest. Only Texas uses more total energy, while California sits well below peers in per capita electricity use.
