Devastating Storm Submerges Vermont, Underscoring Climate Change Risks
A massive storm hit Vermont, causing widespread flooding and damage. The southern part of the state and areas of New York received two months' worth of rainfall in just two days. Montpelier, the capital city, experienced chest-deep flooding as the Winooski River overflowed. The downtown area was closed temporarily. While a dam disaster was avoided, the storm is expected to cost the Northeast region up to $5 billion. Numerous rescues were conducted, but unfortunately, one person died in New York. This event highlights the threat of climate change-fueled floods and the underestimation of rain flooding risks in many communities. The article emphasizes the need for proactive measures to address the climate crisis and enhance community resilience.

Economy Overview
Inflation Cools Down to a Two-Year Low, But Select Prices Still Surge
Good news for your wallet! Inflation rates have cooled down, signaling a positive shift in the economy. According to recent government data, inflation dropped to a two-year low of 3% last month, indicating that the worst of the crisis may be behind us.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, experienced a modest rise of only 0.2% in June, marking its slowest pace since early 2021.
While overall prices are stabilizing, there are still certain items to be cautious about if you want to save your hard-earned money. A closer look at the data, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, reveals some noteworthy trends:
Avoid: Burning your toast, chugging Diet Coke, or purchasing frozen peas. The price of white bread has surged by 11.5% over the past year, carbonated drinks have seen an increase of 9.1%, and frozen vegetables have jumped by a significant 17.6%.
Embrace: Planning a road trip, considering a 55-inch LCD purchase, or attending a destination wedding. Gas prices have dropped by 27%, TV prices have decreased by 10%, and airfares have experienced a notable decline of 19%.
Looking at the bigger picture, the Federal Reserve's series of interest rate hikes appear to have had a positive impact. However, it is worth noting that inflation remains above the target of 2%, leading experts to expect further rate increases later this month. Nonetheless, the slowing pace of inflation suggests that this upcoming adjustment may be the last for the foreseeable future.
