An Ignoble Experiment: The 7: Where Tropical Storm Hilary is headed; Russia’s spacecraft crashes on the moon; Spain’s World Cup win; and more

Good morning. It's Monday, Aug. 21, and we'd better heed the advice of an 114-year-old woman. Now let's catch up.

What's happening? Torrential rain and severe flooding are ongoing, hitting mountains north and east of Los Angeles hardest. Follow live updates here.
What else to know: A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Los Angeles yesterday.
What's next? Officials have warned of further "catastrophic flooding," dangerous downed power lines and mudslides. We're tracking the storm's path here.

What to expect: He'll survey the damage and console residents. The visit comes as Biden's personal reaction and his government's response to the disaster are under intense scrutiny.
The latest: Crews are still searching for hundreds of missing people. The death toll stands at 114. Survivors are facing a long road of physical and cognitive challenges.

The match: Spain defeated England, 1-0, in Australia to claim its first women's championship. The goal scorer, Olga Carmona, learned after the match that her father had died.
It was a wild tournament: The U.S. suffered its earliest exit. There were some great goals — see them here. And co-host Australia, a nation of rugby fans, fell for soccer.

What to know: The uncrewed Luna-25 craft was on Russia's first lunar mission since 1976. But it crashed after entering an uncontrolled orbit, Russia's space agency said yesterday.

What to know: Saudi forces on the Yemen border shot and fired explosives at migrants and asylum seekers attempting to enter the country in recent years, a new report said.

How? They looked at brain activity of people who listened to "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1." That data was then decoded by a machine learning model and reconstructed.
The result: A muddy version of the song, like someone is singing it underwater. It's the first time researchers have been able to re-create a song from neural signals.
Why it matters: Similar technology could eventually help patients with speech impediments communicate with others.
