| 🌞 Good Morning! Here's your wake-up dose: | "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success." – Albert Schweitzer. Start your day with a smile and a positive mindset—your happiness today could lead to your success tomorrow! 😊💫 | | | | | | AM Shift Report | Thousands evacuated as strong winds fuel at least 3 blazes in LA area |  | Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images |
| Fast-moving wildfires are rapidly spreading across the Los Angeles area, forcing the evacuation of at least 80,000 residents. The Palisades Fire has already consumed almost 3,000 acres, while the Eaton Fire has burned through 1,000 acres, and the Hurst Fire has affected 500 acres. Despite the extensive damage, no fatalities have been reported so far. The fires are currently 0% contained, with firefighters struggling to keep up as the flames spread quickly through dry terrain. | The fires were ignited by a combination of dry conditions and powerful winds, which have been exacerbated by the region's ongoing drought. These strong winds are expected to intensify overnight, further complicating firefighting efforts. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, urging residents in the affected areas to evacuate and stay safe as the threat of the fires grows. | |

| A passenger on a JetBlue flight at Boston Logan International Airport opened an exit door while the plane was taxiing for takeoff, prompting an emergency situation. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. when the passenger suddenly opened the overwing exit door, causing an emergency slide to deploy. The passenger was quickly restrained by other passengers and is expected to face charges, with an arraignment scheduled for Wednesday, according to Massachusetts State Police. | The flight, JetBlue 161, was bound for San Juan and was later swapped to another aircraft before continuing its journey. The airline expressed appreciation for passengers' understanding as they addressed the situation, and the flight eventually landed in San Juan without further issues. | |
