MISSING JOURNALIST LATEST
President Trump says the King of Saudi Arabia completely denies any Saudi involvement in the disappearance of a missing journalist. Reports say the Turkish government has audio and video evidence proving that missing Washington Post writer, Jamal Khashoggi, was attacked by agents of the Saudi regime inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

FLORIDA RESCUE
Some quick-thinking by a trapped Florida couple reportedly led to their amazing rescue following Hurricane Michael. The couple's niece reportedly scoured GPS aerial maps of their home and spotted the word "help" spelled out on their property. The couple used fallen trees to send out that SOS. A rescue team reached them early Sunday morning -- and everyone's now safe. It's been five days since Hurricane Michael crippled parts of the Florida Panhandle and today emergency workers are still working 24/7. Reports say hundreds of thousands of people in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia still don't have power. The death toll from Michael stands at 18 -- but that number is still expected to climb as emergency crews reach more of the devastated sites. There are also reports today saying Michael's extreme destruction shows that the Panhandle has weaker building codes than other parts of the hurricane-prone state. And there's more.
