By CLAIRE RUSH, AUDREY MCAVOY and CHRISTOPHER WEBER (Associated Press) LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Parishioners mourned the dead and prayed for the missing Sunday in Hawaii churches as communities began looking ahead to a long recovery from last week’s wildfire that demolished a historic Maui town and killed more than 90 people. Maria Lanakila Church in Lahaina was spared from the flames that wiped out most of the surrounding community, but with search-and-recovery efforts ongoing, its members attended Mass about 10 miles up the road, with the Bishop of Honolulu, the Rev.

Both systems initially have been given a 20% chance of development over the next week. Of the more centrally located area of interest, the National Hurricane Center wrote: An “area of low pressure could develop by the middle to...

Lionel Messi quiet (by his standards), but Inter Miami roll, advance to Leagues Cup semifinals

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on August 12, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Inter Miami, Latest Headlines, Lionel Messi, Soccer, Sports.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Lionel Messi almost didn’t score for the first time in an Inter Miami uniform. The international superstar played all 90 minutes Friday night, but he rarely provided any threatening moments nor a jaw-dropping play like he had in each of his first four Inter Miami games. Besides the extra buzz in the stadium whenever he touched the ball, Messi looked human. But even so, he still found his way on the scoresheet in the match’s final minutes on a tap-in goal for good measure. The match was all but over at that point, as Inter Miami grinded to a 4-0 victory over Charlotte FC at...
