If you live in the Midwest or Central United States, watch out! More severe weather is headed your way, with another storm system expected to hit on Tuesday. The storm will bring rain, high winds, hail, and a risk of tornadoes to the towns that were just battered by the severe weather systems of Friday and the week before that, and over 60,000 people are still out of power as of today.
On another note, you might see gas prices spike once again. Some members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have announced that they will start voluntarily cutting crude oil production, amid the new shift to renewable energy. OPEC members that are cutting production include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Algeria, Russia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, and the total output that has been cut is over 1.66 million barrels a day, which is a big step in the shift to clean energy.
Lastly, Finland has finally been approved to join NATO, after over a year of debating whether Finland should join or not. The official announcement will be made on Tuesday. Finland started to hurry to join NATO once the Russo-Ukraine War started, amid fears that they would be invaded as well. They have finally been approved, which has also eased Sweden's fears of being invaded (since they are also not part of NATO, but they have applied), as the only way to get from Russia to Sweden is through Finland.
