It went all over the Carolinas, drenching already saturated areas with nearly 10 trillion gallons of rain. Some areas saw as much as 36 inches of rain and the flooding is nothing less than catastrophic.

Feeding knowledge directly into your brain, just like in sci-fi classic The Matrix, could soon take as much effort as falling asleep, scientists believe.

Researchers claim to have developed a simulator which can feed information directly into a person’s brain and teach them new skills in a shorter amount of time, comparing it to “life imitating art”.

They believe it could be the first steps in developing advanced software that will make Matrix-style instant learning a reality.

Former FBI Director James Comey made a prediction on Thursday that rocked the halls of power in Washington, D.C.
