Today is Monday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2017. There are 111 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida hijackers seized control of four jetliners, sending two of the planes into New York's World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.

On this date:

In 1297, Scottish rebels led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray defeated English troops in the Battle of Stirling Bridge during the First War of Scottish Independence.

In 1714, the forces of King Philip V of Spain overcame Catalan defenders to end the 13-month-long Siege of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession.

In 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.

In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812.

In 1857, the Mountain Meadows Massacre took place in present-day southern Utah as a 120-member Arkansas immigrant party was slaughtered by Mormon militiamen aided by Paiute Indians.

In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam's first hydroelectric generator.

In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that "the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration" were pushing the United States toward war.

In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Meriwether, was crowned the winner.

In 1967, the comedy-variety program "The Carol Burnett Show" premiered on CBS.

In 1974, Eastern Airlines Flight 212, a DC-9, crashed while attempting to land in Charlotte, North Carolina, killing 72 of the 82 people on board.

In 1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds cracked career hit number 4,192 off Eric Show (rhymes with "how") of the San Diego Padres, eclipsing the record held by Ty Cobb. (The Reds won the game, 2-0).

In 1997, Scots voted to create their own Parliament after 290 years of union with England.

Ten years ago: A new Osama bin Laden videotape was released on the sixth anniversary of 9/11; in it, the al-Qaida leader's voice is heard commemorating one of the suicide hijackers and calling on young Muslims to follow his example by martyring themselves in attacks. China signed an agreement to prohibit the use of lead paint on toys exported to the United States.

Five years ago: A mob armed with guns and grenades launched a fiery nightlong attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney toned down the campaign rhetoric and pulled negative ads amid commemorations of the 9/11 attacks, saying it was not a day for politics.

One year ago: The U.S. marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 with the solemn roll call of the dead at ground zero. Hillary Clinton abruptly left after feeling "overheated," according to her campaign, and hours later her doctor disclosed that the Democratic presidential nominee had pneumonia. Stan Wawrinka wore Novak Djokovic (NOH'-vak JOH'-kuh-vich) down and beat the defending champion 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 for his first U.S. Open title and third Grand Slam trophy overall. Savvy Shields of Arkansas was crowned Miss America 2017 at the pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Virgin Islands and many other places in the Caribbean were the ones that took the real catastrophic damages from Irma.  Very sad for those poor native people living there that struggle to live from day to day when things are going well.

It may take a couple of years or longer to rebuild things down there.

Good to hear, though I was hoping to see him featured in a weather related news story.  "Breaking news, shirtless cigar smoking man in flamingo float waves off rescuers, asks only for dry matches".


Cute.

Eye wall just now entering Citrus County here. 70 mph winds, lots of rain, lost power abiut 9:45 last night. roof sprung a leak by back door, looks like old patch let loose.
Your blue dot turned yellow? What does that mean?

Hang in there, it's almost over for you.
Orange dot is my location. Two possums got out of bathroom, dog got one, one possum not accounted for.
I'm sure it will turn up eventually.
It did. Was hanging out on top of the kitchen cabinettes.

So I was running the grill outside the concession stand on Saturday evening (parental commitment for daughter #2's cheerleading)...

All was going well and I had just removed 9 cheeseburgers and 3 hamburgers off the grill, leaving it empty. I was asked to go inside to get a few bags each of mozzarella sticks and french fries out of the freezer. When I returned, the grill was loaded up with patties, the lid closed, and entire grill was engulfed in flames. Bunch of guys were staring at it when I reached over and shut the gas. The fire continued to roar and another guy and I carfully removed the grease trap underneath with tongs. Eventually we poured table salt all over the inside of the grill and the flames went out. By the time we got the grill back to temperature, my shift was over.

Probably the first time that grease trap was cleaned out all season.
I remember those days of shiftwork at the concession stand...and some of the characters that couldn't cook, fry, or make correct change.

So I was running the grill outside the concession stand on Saturday evening (parental commitment for daughter #2's cheerleading)...

All was going well and I had just removed 9 cheeseburgers and 3 hamburgers off the grill, leaving it empty. I was asked to go inside to get a few bags each of mozzarella sticks and french fries out of the freezer. When I returned, the grill was loaded up with patties, the lid closed, and entire grill was engulfed in flames. Bunch of guys were staring at it when I reached over and shut the gas. The fire continued to roar and another guy and I carfully removed the grease trap underneath with tongs. Eventually we poured table salt all over the inside of the grill and the flames went out. By the time we got the grill back to temperature, my shift was over.

Great story Tony. I take it nobody bought any of the burgers during the 'fire sale'?

I find that if you don't remove the tray that catches the grease, and clean all the
burnt bar-b-q residue off of the metal, cooking more than 6 hamburgers, is just asking for trouble.  once that
grease trap gets saturated with the drippings from the burgers, and it catches fire, eyebrows are in jeopardy.
