Today's UPDATES

Welcome to Post #901 on a not so normal Thursday. There's a lot to talk about as America is still reeling after the two natural disasters including the Central Mexico earthquake and Hurricane Maria. Now I will be talking about Maria a little later, there is not much to report on the earthquake, expect for the fact that about twenty-five kids died in a collapse of elementary school and some other are still trapped in other building that have gone down. The most deaths to occur in this earthquake in Mexico City with 94, and Morelos was hit with 71 deaths, people have volunteered to help out with the damages and that's what we all have to do as a whole. Stand together no matter what in order to save lives as heroes, the same can be said for the heroes of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. While we try to deal with these disasters, we can still settle down to the last few days of the MLB Season, the third week of the NFL Season and this Sunday's WWE No Mercy in Los Angeles, all of which is brought to you by Max Sports.

For today's #TwitterTrend, we need to get right into the hellstorm that is Hurricane Maria, it has gone from a Category Three to a Category Four and right now it is ripping through the Dominican Republic. The worst damage it has caused has been Puerto Rico, this small island is entirely without power leaving 3,5 million people of the island absolutely nothing. Most people were urged to evacuate their homes and head for shelters by Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló, who has said that they "have not experienced an event of this magnitude in their modern history." The Northeast part of the United States has to deal with Hurricane Jose which is just a Tropical Storm, no damage has been caused by Jose, however things can change in a hurry. Puerto Ricans could be without power for four to six months according to some news sources and I am just so curious to know how they are going to deal with such an issue. I have look at some pictures and tweets on twitter which show the aftermath left by Maria and I don't want anyone to worry by seeing them for themselves what damage has been caused, I just think that they should try to understand what Puerto Rico is going through just like what Houston, the Caribbeans and Florida went through in their hurricanes.

Puerto Rico's emergency management director says Maria may have knocked out critical high-voltage power lines.

"We are gonna be four months without electricity," warned Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico @CarmenYulinCruz.

The drama of Obamacare Repeal and Replace continues, ever since Trump was elected as president, he has promised time and time again to eliminate Barack Obama's biggest accomplishment in his tenure as President. The GOP has been hard work and they it will take a miracle for them to pull together a could up with a solution and it seems like they already have. The Graham-Cassidy Bill has been notice for a while and everyone whats to know what exactly will it do if it is put into law. that is a question that even I cannot answer. I've been reading reports on whether or the Senate can pass this bill, chances are somewhat up and down at the moment, but the Senate will take a vote sometime next week because remember they have a September 30th deadline and the GOP don't have much time to get everyone done to get this to work. But if by some off chance that that this bill is passed, it will then to ot the House of Representatives and things will be more complicated there so this will be Republicans' very chance to make good on their promise, at least for, to repeal and replace the one thing that has been a thorn in their side for years. Web Choice has scattered around YouTube looking for some people who could explain in their own words what this bill could do to millions of Americans, and I have found the right people, take a look at what Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Lewis Black from The Daily Show.
