Hurricane Debby could bring up to 2 feet of rain in some areas of the South after making landfall in Florida. Plus, Noah Lyles ends a 20-year American drought in the Olympic 100-meter race, and a mom's dress at her daughter's wedding causes a stir.
Tropical storm Debby strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane before striking Florida's Gulf Coast today, forecasters said. Maximum winds were being tracked at 75 miles per hour, and the storm is expected to bring up to 18 inches of rain in some parts of Florida and up to 30 inches of rain in areas of Georgia and South Carolina. Here's the latest.
Noah Lyles (red, above) won by a nose in a photo finish to take gold in the 100-meter by a mere 0.005 of a second, the closest Olympic final since 1980. Lyles became the first American since 2004 to win the race and capture the title of "world's fastest man." Also in Paris, tennis star Novak Djokovic won his first gold medal, and women's boxing is dealing with a gender controversy. Today is the last day to watch Simone Biles, who just fell off the beam but still has a chance on the floor. Here's what else to watch for.
Another mother-of-the-bride dress is attracting a lot of attention online. (Remember this one?) Beverly Norberg tried on 30 dresses before landing on a blue taffeta ball gown for her daughter Sydney's wedding. However, once the pics hit social media, some accused her of trying to upstage her daughter. The bride, though, thinks her mom's dress hit the mark. "I'd be out shopping and she'd be like, 'No. Boring,'" Beverly told us. "She wanted me to make a statement." What do you think?
