Remember those weekly emails DoD civilian employees had to send, detailing their accomplishments? Well, they're GONE! The Department of Defense just announced they're pulling the plug on the initiative that drew plenty of eye-rolls. Interim Under Secretary of Defense Jules W. Hurst III broke the news to the civilian workforce, according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell. Today marks the official end of the "What You Did Last Week" saga. In a final twist, Hurst asked employees to use their last submission to brainstorm ideas for improving efficiency or cutting waste. Smart move! Back in February, the DoD, under guidance from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, required employees to list five weekly achievements in an email. The goal, according to Parnell, was to give leaders better insights and boost accountability. While the department says they are still focused on positive change, the emails are over.DoD Ditches "What You Did Last Week" Emails!

Whoa, North Alabama's been hit hard by some serious weather! Apparently, we've seen a whopping 14 tornadoes touch down in the last week alone. The National Weather Service Huntsville confirmed that a total of 13 tornadoes and one waterspout ripped through the region during the severe weather outbreak on May 20th. Talk about a wild ride! And get this – a new EF-0 tornado, nicknamed the "Ranger Road tornado," touched down on Redstone Arsenal Tuesday evening. It packed estimated maximum winds of 83 mph! The survey team reported some pretty crazy damage. The tornado bent fencing like it was made of paper, shifted a bunch of 500-pound storage tanks, and even tossed a few of them around! A metal frame storage building didn't fare much better. One side collapsed, with metal framework bent every which way. Contents were reportedly strewn hundreds of yards downwind. Yikes! Thankfully, this twister was a speed demon. It was only on the ground for a mere two minutes (6:51-6:53 p.m.) and traveled just 25 yards before fizzling out. Talk about a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment!Twister Troubles in North Alabama!
