4. More likely than not, today is going to be full of ongoing or post-hurricane articles. That’s why the normal Monday sports roundup didn’t post, and it’s also why eBay Tuesday will not run today.
5. Halloween Eve is also unofficially known as Mischief Night due to the high number of incidents of eggings and pranks and other such activity. Detroit knows it as Devil’s Night after some years of particularly bad vandalism and arson, which thankfully have been on the decline.
