After every major hurricane strike, communities lose power, sometimes ending up in the dark for weeks as power lines and grid infrastructure are repaired. In Florida after Hurricane Irma, however, some people with solar panels were doing just fine amid the blackouts. InsideClimate News reporter Lyndsey Gilpin has the story, here, of how rooftop and portable solar power helped some residents get back to normal right away—solar even powered one city's traffic lights—as utility crews scrambled to restore power to 6.7 million Florida customers who lost it in the storm.

Mexico quakes puzzle scientists
Seismologists are working to discover whether the deadly magnitude-7.1 earthquake that struck central Mexico on Tuesday is linked to the massive tremor that hit the southern coast of the country 12 days earlier. Both quakesstruck in the middle of the Cocos geological plate — rather than along its edge, where plunges beneath the North American plate, as would be normally expected.
Sharks live longer than we thought
Typically, researchers slice through sharks’ spines and count concentric layers of growth like the rings of a tree. But methods based on recapturing marked animals, or detecting the traces of 1950s nuclear bomb tests, show those estimates may be way off – leading to conservation decisions could be based on faulty data.
