This year's busy tropical season continues as more activity ramps up in the Atlantic.
Tropical Storm Peter is the 16th storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season. Peter strengthened into a storm Sunday morning from a tropical depression.
Located hundreds of miles northeast of the Leeward Islands, Peter had sustained winds of 45 mph on Sunday morning.

The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
