St. Johns River near Cocoa heads for major flood stage; Brevard compiling disaster request

ClickOrlando, citing the National Weather Service, reported the river at 16.9 feet at 8:15 a.m. Nov. 6 (flood stage 16, moderate 16.5, major 17), with a forecast crest of 17.1 feet on Nov. 10-11, about equal to the 17.11-foot Tropical Storm Fay crest in 2008.

NWS Melbourne flood warnings were reissued the evening of Nov. 6 for Brevard, Seminole, Lake and Volusia counties on the river. Brevard is compiling damage information for a state disaster declaration request; federal help has not been approved. The article reported no additional rain forecast for seven days.

Jackson, Miss., nightclub shooting: man charged with capital murder

Local TV (WLBT, WLOX, WJTV) reported that a nightclub shooting at a Halloween costume party early Nov. 1 killed two people and hurt six (outlets differ; one headline said four hurt, one said seven wounded in the charges). A man was arrested Nov. 5 and charged with two counts of capital murder and seven counts of aggravated assault; he was denied bond on the murder counts and given a $3.5 million bond on the assault counts. WLBT reported a lawsuit against the club's owners alleges two shooters entered with rifles and ski masks. I could not open the full articles (one fetch returned 403), so details come from search summaries.
