1. The demolition is done. Northridge Mall in Milwaukee is finally gone. City leaders gathered at the site today to celebrate the completion of the demolition. This is a milestone in the city's ongoing efforts to transform Granville Station. Now that the site is clear, future re-development can begin. There's no plan yet for what might be built on the land next. Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson says the city wants to listen and learn from the community and builders right now. They want to figure out what would be successful on the land and add vibrancy to the northwest side of the city. Northridge Mall closed back in 2002.

2. Computer chip manufacturer Nvidia crossed the five-trillion-dollar valuation mark today and it's not the only tech company seeing a sky-high market cap. Apple is the third company to cross the four-trillion-dollar mark, after Nvidia and Microsoft.

Wisconsin's Midday News has your Three Big Things.

Guests include TMJ4 News Meteorologist Lauren Larsen and Annex Wealth Management CEO Dave Spano.

We also talk about a milestone night for Giannis and Dictionary.com's 2025 Word of the Year.

Annex Wealth Management CEO Dave Spano talks about how today the Federal Reserve decided to cut interest rates again by another quarter of a percentage. Is there another rate cut expected before the end of year? Why are tariffs seemingly no longer impacting the market? Why do we typically see a downturn in the markets in September and October? What are some indicators of a healthy economy?

1. Hurricane Melissa is heading to the Bahamas today, after making landfall in Cuba this morning as a category-3 storm. It made historic landfall yesterday in Jamaica, as a category-5 hurricane. Most of the rain has fallen in Jamaica, but forecasters are warning about the aftermath, life-threatening flash flooding and landslides. Half a million people are without power today. Four hospitals are damaged. Melissa has proved deadly too. At least 25 people died in Haiti, after a river flooded by Melissa burst its banks. Three people were killed in Jamaica during storm preps and one person died in the Dominican Republic.

2. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by another quarter of a percentage point just moments ago, as the ongoing government shutdown restricts the release of critical economic data.

3. Buckle Up, Phone Down! Expect to hear that on ads this week and see the messaging on social media. You might even spot the note on one of those electronic highway signs. Today the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is joining partners across the state and across the country urging drivers to put their seat belts on and put their cell phones down. Those are the two most important things you can do to prevent a deadly crash. Last year, there were more than nine thousand crashes in Wisconsin connected to distracted driving. 44 people died in those crashes and more than 35-hundred were hurt. Remember texting while driving is not only dangerous, it's also against the law in Wisconsin. There were more than 76-hundred crashes in the state involving people who didn't have their seat belts on. In those crashes, 176 people died and more than two-thousand were hurt. And keep this in mind the next time you go to grab your phone in the car, they say sending or reading a text that takes your eyes off the road for five seconds at 55 miles per hour is like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.

Wisconsin's Midday News has your Now at Noon headlines.

Guests include ESPN Wisconsin's Jason Wilde and CBS News Justice Correspondent Scott MacFarlane.

We wrap up with how AOL has been sold for a reported 1.5 billion dollars.

CBS News Justice Correspondent Scott MacFarlane talks about funding freezes and program cuts that are being used as leverage, how are American people paying the price? What signs are being shown that federal agencies are already being impaired because of the funding gap? How is the White House messaging evolving as the shutdown drags on? FEMA has denied Wisconsin’s request for assistance after historic flooding, how did the agency come to this conclusion. Wisconsin has a Democratic Governor. Milwaukee's mayor and country executive at Democrats. Is there flaw in the argument that the decision is related to the political leanings of our local leaders? The January 6th attack continues to reverberate in multiple ways with criminal prosecutions, congressional investigations, policymaking around election integrity and security. What patterns are you seeing in terms of outcomes, delays, or legal strategy?

ESPN Wisconsin’s Jason Wilde talks about a Halloween costume dilemma, some temper problems on the sidelines, and if Jordan Love is a good predecessor to Aaron Rodgers.

2. Jamaica is recovering after getting slammed by Hurricane Melissa. The storm barreled through the western part of the island, as a category five storm. Officials say about 77 percent of the island is without power. Doctor Dana Morris Dixon, Jamaica's Education Minister, told reporters today that the Jamaican government has issued an "all clear", so that rescue crews can start rebuilding.

Currently, Melissa is an “extremely dangerous” Category 3 hurricane as it closes in on Cuba, the National Hurricane Center warned.

3. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates later today. One interest rate cut now won't make a big change but over the course of months it could really start to impact consumers. So, what we could see is borrowing costs will go down a little bit for consumers and for businesses. So, we are looking at things like mortgage rates, which are now at their lowest level in about a year.
