  • In this Oct. 10, 2018 photo, Shauna Benefield and Alex Edwards stand in front of their house in Marianna, Fla., which was damaged by fallen trees during Hurricane Michael. Benefield, 20, and her boyfriend, Edwards, 21, live just north of Marianna's historic downtown in his family's home and they didn't stock up. After the storm cleared, Edwards found himself driving 50 miles to DeFuniak Springs to get water, food and gas. There was nowhere nearby to get any in the immediate aftermath.

  • FILE - This June 1, 2014, file photo show the coal-fired Plant Scherer in operation in Juliette, Ga. Despite what President Donald Trump says, scientists have long known that what's warming the planet isn't natural. It's us. Climate scientists say Trump was wrong. There are several ways they know that more than 90 percent of climate change is caused by emissions of heat-trapping gases from activities like burning coal and natural gas for electricity, or burning gasoline, diesel and jet fuel for transportation. In other words, humans. (AP Photo/John Amis, File)
  • FILE- In this Aug. 21, 2018, file photo, dead fish lie washed up along the shoreline at Bayfront Park in Sarasota, Fla. Experts say Hurricane Michael failed to break up a patchy and toxic algae bloom in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida. That means the red tide could continue to cause problems in the weeks ahead.

  • FILE - In this Oct. 12, 2018, file photo, downed trees are seen from the air on Tyndall Air Force Base in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael near Mexico Beach, Fla. It was once argued that the trees would help save Florida’s Panhandle from the fury of a hurricane, as the acres of forests in the region would provide a natural barrier to savage winds that accompany the deadly storms. It’s part of the reason that tighter building codes, mandatory in places such as South Florida, were not put in place for most of this region until just 11 years ago. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
  • FILE - This Wednesday, April 19, 2017 file photo shows the beer cooler behind the counter in a convenience store in Sheridan, Ind. In future sweltering years with a double whammy of heat and drought, losses of barley yield can be as much as 17 percent, computer simulations show. And that means “beer prices would, on average, double,” even adjusting for inflation, said a study published in the journal Nature Plants on Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)

A weakened hurricane Leslie slammed into the coast of Portugal, leaving 27 people injured as it uprooted trees, brought down power lines and smashed store windows with gusting winds and heavy rain. Leslie moved east Sunday across the Iberian Peninsula to Spain, where authorities issued warnings for heavy rains and storm conditions for the northern part of the country.

  • This Sept. 17, 2013 photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey shows walruses as they clamber up on to the grassy tundra on a barrier island in Point Lay, Alaska. A lawsuit making its way through federal court in Alaska will decide whether Pacific walruses should be listed as a threatened species, giving them additional protections. Walruses use sea ice for giving birth, nursing and resting between dives for food but the amount of ice over several decades has steadily declined due to climate warming.

That number will grow as more and more people upload their DNA profiles to websites that use genetic analysis to find relatives, researchers said. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File)
