Ophelia paths Florida as officials warn of danger
Ophelia regains hurricane strength and nears Florida’s coast while officials warn the storm remains a serious threat. Emergency Director Craig Fugate says strong waves and rip currents will fatally harm some this weekend. Winds reach 75 mph as the storm moves northeast and could re strengthen toward hurricane status, threatening Florida. Meanwhile a separate case sees a Nevada couple plead guilty to conspiring to plant a human finger in Wendy’s chili to extort money, a hoax tied to a $2.5 million loss claim.
