THE FLYOVER REPLAY.

Thursday, March 13, 2025.

Good Morning! On this day in 1942, the Quartermaster Corps of the U.S. Army began training dogs for the newly established War Dog Program, or “K-9 Corps.”

In today’s Flyover, we’re serving up a sweet slice of nostalgia with seven vintage candy bars you’ve probably forgotten—from a “Chicken Dinner” to a chocolate bar that tried to do seven flavors at once.

We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.

TAKEOFF.

Severe Storm Looms for U.S.

A powerful storm is set to sweep across the U.S. today through Sunday, bringing heavy rain, snow, and severe weather from California to the East Coast.

In Southern California, evacuation warnings are in effect for several burn scar areas as officials brace for potential mudslides, flooding, and debris flows, with the heaviest rain expected tonight into Thursday.

Blizzard conditions are likely in parts of the Plains on Thursday and Friday, while severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes threaten the Midwest and Southeast heading into the weekend.

Forecasters also warn of extreme wildfire risk in the Southwest through Friday due to high winds and dry conditions.

Inflation Dips to 2.8% in February.

Inflation eased to 2.8% in February, down from 3% in January and lower than analysts expected, as prices for groceries, gasoline, and housing moderated, the government reported Wednesday.

The biggest price increase came from egg prices, which surged 59% over the past year due to avian flu outbreaks and supply issues, while shelter costs rose 4.2%, the lowest since 2021.

Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 3.1%—the lowest in nearly four years.

132-Year-Old Lake Superior Shipwreck Found.

Explorers have found the wreck of the Western Reserve, a 300-foot all-steel freighter that sank in Lake Superior 132 years ago, killing 27 people.

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society discovered the ship, broken in two and resting 600 feet underwater, after a two-year search using sonar and a remotely operated vehicle. See a video here.

Known as “the inland greyhound,” the ship was hailed for its speed and safety but split apart during a storm in 1892—a tragedy recounted by its lone survivor.

Explorers say the Western Reserve will remain on the lakebed, preserved by the lake’s cold water, for further study.

POLITICS.

Canada hit the U.S. with $21 billion in retaliatory tariffs on steel and aluminum products, while the European Union raised tariffs by $28 billion on U.S. beef, poultry, bourbon, motorcycles, peanut butter, and jeans.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, 78, of New Hampshire, announced Wednesday that she will not seek re-election in 2026, complicating Democrats’ efforts to reclaim control of the Senate.

In Greenland, the center-right party, advocating a gradual approach to independence from Denmark, won the parliamentary election. A pro-U.S. party pushing for closer ties with Washington came in second.
