Good Morning! On this day in 2018, the remnants of Hurricane Sergio dumped 2.19 inches of rain in the Phoenix area, less than two weeks after the remnants of Hurricane Rosa brought 2.75 inches of rain.

How many benefits come with the credit card in your wallet? Buried in the benefits guide that most cardholders never open are protections that can be worth real money. One can cover your hotel and meals when a flight strands you overnight, another the phone in your pocket. But the coverage only counts if you know it’s there, and plenty of people don’t. In one survey, almost 40% of cardholders had no idea they carried the benefit at No. 1 on our list. So what’s already on your card, and how do you use your perks? Ayla has the full story on today’s episode of The Flyover Podcast. Tune in here!

Today’s sponsor, Infinity Fuel, is developing hydrogen fuel cell technology capable of powering long-duration missions for customers like the U.S. Navy and NASA, with more than $60 million in past and current contracts.

Trump Rally Details Released

President Trump will hold his midterm rally Wednesday in Bullhead City at Laughlin Bullhead International Airport, according to an event page on the GOP website.

Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the program begins at 11:30 a.m. Trump is scheduled to speak at 1 p.m. Attendees must sign up in advance, with a limit of four tickets per sign-up.

It will be Trump’s second visit to Bullhead City, after an October 2020 rally at the same airport.

The stop comes a week into early voting in Arizona and less than three weeks before Election Day on Nov. 3.

Cardinals Search for Answers

Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said the team has a lot to fix after its fourth straight defeat, a 45-21 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Arizona (1-4) has allowed at least 30 points in four straight games, and Jacoby Brissett is 2-15 as Arizona’s starter since last October.

LaFleur called Sunday’s game the team’s worst of the season. He declined to commit to changes at quarterback, saying Brissett “was not the problem.”

The loss capped a week in which Arizona traded receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston for draft picks. The team travels to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Helicopters Track Bighorns

State wildlife crews are using helicopters to capture bighorn sheep near Pusch Ridge in the Santa Catalina Mountains to check for disease and track their movements.

Biologists are using nets to catch up to 10 sheep from the air, collecting blood samples to test for disease, and fitting each with a GPS collar.

Arizona Game and Fish officials said the collars will show how the herd’s habitat may have shifted since the 2020 Bighorn Fire.

Desert bighorns were reintroduced to the Catalinas in 2013 after a 13-year absence, and state wildlife officials have tracked the herd with collars for years.

How to Survive 16 Days Underwater

In March, an underwater drone traveled 1,257 miles over 16 days without ever coming up, roughly the distance from Los Angeles to Dallas.

That kind of uninterrupted range underwater used to require a nuclear reactor. But this world-first performance was powered by Infinity’s hydrogen fuel cell technology.

Why’s this a big deal? Unlike batteries that must get bigger to run longer, Infinity’s fuel cells deliver massive performance in small packages. This enables drones to operate without surfacing or recharging, a key strategic advantage for customers like the U.S. Navy.

The Navy isn’t the only one betting on Infinity, either. This tech has also logged 2,600+ hours for NASA. In total, Infinity’s won $60M+ in past and current contracts.

Now they’re scaling production to meet demand and inviting investors to share in their potential. And if you invest by Thursday, you’ll earn 5% in guaranteed bonus stock. Maximize your early-stage Infinity stake before the deadline.
