Landfall 9:30pm ET Friday near Destin — 105 mph, Cat 2. 450,000+ without power in Florida, flash flood emergency in Okaloosa County, 6–9 ft storm surge on the Panhandle. First Atlantic hurricane of a dead-quiet El Niño season (latest first hurricane in 121 years). Remnants push into Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia today — tornado and flood-watch country. Trucker math: storm damage plus the Iran-war oil spike are the two forces pushing diesel right now. Sources: NPR/WAMC · Pensacola News Journal · Fox Weather.

Former UN human rights chief Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, 85, won for a lifetime of international-law work. Hours later the US announced sanctions on the ICC itself — “ban transactions with this rogue court,” per Rubio, with a six-month wind-down window. The court called it an assault on the rule of law; foreign ministers of eight countries (Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, UK, Denmark) backed it. Bias distribution: Fox/right lane reads Pillay’s Israel record as disqualifying (antisemitism accusations); the committee reads a lifetime of war-crimes accountability. Trump’s take: Norway carries “a stain.” Watch who cheers the sanctions vs. who cheers her — that’s the tell. Sources: Reuters · CNN · NPR · Fox News.

Oscar Belgal, 28, Dominican national — neck wound, superficial, survived; the boy unharmed. ICE says he rammed two vehicles and drove at officers; NYPD released the opening seconds of video Friday, body-cam still held back (Mullin says it’ll come). Mamdani called ICE “rotten to its core,” demanded it out of NYC, and phoned Trump and Mullin — no release. A judge blocked deportation; he’s held at MDC Brooklyn. ~5,000 marched in Manhattan Friday. Thin layer flagged: initial ICE/DHS accounts in these incidents have been walked back before — the body-cam, when it drops, is the evidence. Sources: Reuters · CNN · NY Post.

Thursday’s strikes killed three Saudis (one a Saudia employee) and damaged a plane; intercepted debris also hit a kindergarten and a clinic. Lufthansa suspended through Oct 16, Air India through Saturday, PIA paused; Saudi civil aviation says traffic is resuming. Brent jumped 5%+ to $101–$102 — that’s your diesel math. The Saudi-led coalition struck Sanaa overnight in return. The WPC Energy Congress meets in Riyadh Sunday, under missile threat. Sources: Reuters · AP.
