Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Tuesday, August 12th, 2025. And we begin with the

storm door opening to what could become the first hurricane of the 2025 season. A system known as

Aaron is currently spinning off the western coast of Africa, marching west across the Atlantic

with winds of 45 miles per hour.

According to CNN, there's plenty of fuel for Aaron to tap into. That's because sea surface temperatures

are much warmer than normal. Not quite as warm as the record levels of 2023 and 2024, but still

warm enough to give it a jolt of energy. Several models show Aaron ramping up to a

category 3 hurricane with winds topping 110 miles an hour by this weekend. But forecasters say

it's still too soon to know what impact, if any, it'll have on the U.S.

Believe it or not, connecting to the Internet used to sound like this.

It was called Dial-up.

You actually had to use a phone line to access the web

and then patiently wait out a series of

high-pitched beeps, static, and screeches to hopefully get connected. Many of your parents

won't be shocked that it's ending. They'll be shocked that it's still in use. But not for much

longer. AOL, an internet pioneer of the 1990s, is pulling the plug on its once popular, now nostalgic,

dial-up service as of September 30th. According to the Washington Post in its heyday in 2000,

AOL had 25 million subscribers. Today, that number is believed to be in the low thousands.

It's a prehistoric discovery in the great state of Texas.

Cleanup following the devastating floods last July have unearthed 15 enormous three-clod dinosaur footprints in Travis County near Austin.

Paleontologist Matthew Brown says the tracks were likely left by the 35-foot-long meat-eating

dino known as acrocanthosaurus.
