Ian is transitioning from a tropical system to a mid-latitude storm and has now been designated Post-Tropical Cyclone Ian, according to the 5 p.m. ET advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Post-Tropical Cyclone Ian has winds of 70 mph as it moves inland over the Carolinas. Tropical storm-force winds extend well out from the center and are impacting much of the eastern Carolinas. And the danger is not over, the hurricane center said. "Dangerous storm surge, flash flooding and high winds are still in the forecast from this cyclone," the advisory said.

Rand Paul reportedly to vote against Trump declaring national emergency at border
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and other Republican lawmakers are breaking rank with their own party and supporting a resolution to overturn President Trump's national emergency declaration over border wall funding.
"I can't vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't been appropriated by Congress," Paul said, according to the Bowling Green Daily News. "We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn't authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it's a dangerous thing."
BENEDICT ARNOLD!!!
Of course, this is all political and it’s ultimately meaningless because Trump will veto it, and the opponents of his national emergency don’t have enough votes to overcome it. Still, it will hurt him politically a little bit. Not much really. On the other hand, he really needs to expand his support beyond his base, or we’re gonna see a replay of the midterms… also, #MAGA!!!
