In Massachusetts, residents cleaning up from a massive nor'easter that swept through the region. Storm surge washed away yards after huge waves battered 1 the coast. Nearly 200,000 people remained without power Sunday across the state.
In Colorado, 350 acres of land up in smoke in just hours. The wild fire began in a community southeast of Denver at 10 a.m., destroying 3 homes and 4 barns. There were no injuries.
This Thursday is International Women's Day. In London, thousands took to the street Sunday to mark the holiday, calling for gender 2 equality, 100 years after Britain's most famous suffragette, Emmeline Parkhurst, gained the right to vote.
And President Donald Trump 3 trading jokes with the Washington Press Corps 4 at the annual Gridiron dinner Saturday night. The event was closed to cameras. Trump's half-hour long speech included plenty of one liners. On his son-in-law, "we were late tonight because Jared could not get through security." On Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "I offered him a ride over. And he recused himself. What are you going to do?"
