hello happy Friday fry I'm Coy wire this
is CNN 10 bringing 10 minutes of news
where I tell you the what letting you
decide what to think first we start in
Washington DC where a government
shutdown has been averted earlier this
week we talked about how Congress needed
to pass funding bills by Monday to keep
the operations of the federal government
running well they did the House and
Senate approved a short-term spending
bill it will fund the government until
December 20th President Joe Biden
applauded Congress for coming together
to avoid what could have been a costly
government shutdown but the new December
deadline means Congressional leaders
will be right back here again in a few
months and the political landscape will
look much different with a new president
elect after the November election ction
a NASA astronaut and Russian cosmonaut
will have to wait until tomorrow to
attempt a launch into space spacex's
Dragon spacecraft was supposed to go to
the International Space Station with two
crew members on board yesterday but NASA
postponed the launch of its crew n
Mission with SpaceX to the weekend
because of hurricane Helen even though
Helen is mainly impacting Northwest
Florida around the Gulf of Mexico it's
such a monster that Cape Canaveral on
the other side of the state was at risk
of high winds and heavy rains hurricane
Helen intensified last night absolutely
pummeling Florida its huge size means
higher Storm surges the National Weather
Service is warning of unsurvivable storm
surge in appalache Bay and Helen's
Windfield how far its winds reach from
the center reached nearly 500 mil wide
at times we're talking about the
distance from Indianapolis to Washington
DC the storm brought evacuations school
and business closures as well as flight
cancellations officials warned that
catastrophic wind damage from the storm
will cause power outages throughout the
southeast that could take days or weeks
to restore the head of the Federal
Emergency Management agency is urging
people to be careful the most important
thing today is just making sure that
people stay safe not just in evacuating
if you're in a storm surge area or
taking the appropriate steps if you're
going to have wind or rain impacts but
also reminding everybody that many of
the risks that pose from hurricanes come
after landfall and so in those hours
after the storm has passed we need
everyone to really be thoughtful about
making sure they watch out for down
power lines they don't walk through or
drive through flood waters if your power
is out don't use candles use flashlights
and if you have a generator make sure
you use that safely all right we hope
that all of you in the path of this
major storm are safe and sound be
careful meantime hurricane John is still

water all right a disc disclaimer for
today's story getting a 10 out of 10 if
you have Arachnophobia you might want to
avert your eyes because a house in
Boston is creeping it real these are not
Halloween decorations these are webs
created by the invasive joro spider they
get up to the size of a poit note and
their webs are up to about 10 ft across
and they might be coming to a
neighborhood near
you this invasive Invader is drawing
quite a crowd thick body with uh the
green yellow stripes on it it's vibrant
body clinging to a sprawling web right
off the sidewalk on Mount Vernon Street
it is a bit early for Halloween it's
giving some here an early season spook
it'd be enough to freak you out if it
you know were on your neck and you pull
it off and it's arrival this far north
is historic the black and yellow it's it
kind of gives you that hej Joe
Schifferdecker first spotted the
arachnet a few weeks ago photographing
it and then confirming what researchers
say was in inevitable these spiders are
really good at hitchhiking on people's
cars and trucks Andy Davis has studied
joro spiders since their arrival in
Georgia a decade ago likely on a
container ship from East Asia he says
they're not as scary as they appear
they're no more venomous than any other
garden spider they're not going to
attack you they're not going to jump off
their web and get you they don't go
inside houses but this is a species
whose eggs can survive the winter so
even though this mother will die in a
few weeks the Inc crepid Travelers
Legacy will live on you folks can get
ready for this here in Georgia there's
so many of them that when they when
they're all when they can they can kind
of gang up on you and they can like make
a cluster web with like dozens of
spiders all with interconnecting webs
it's like 10 feet wide it's like
straight out of Indiana
Jones all right again apologies to
everyone out there who's afraid of
spiders because that was something all
