Beryl Soaks the Southeast
Before being downgraded to a tropical depression, Beryl soaks the southeast.
The weather event once known as Tropical Storm Beryl made landfall in Florida early Monday morning packing near-hurricane-strength winds of 70 miles an hour.
Even as it weakened, the wind and rain from Beryl caused some flooding and damage on Saint Simons Island, Georgia.
Beryl spent much of Memorial Day drenching events across parts of Florida and Georgia.
Medal of Freedom Ceremony
Tuesday, President Obama will honor recipients of this year's Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor awarded.
This year's honorees include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn, Nobel Prize winning novelist Toni Morrison, and singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
The President will present the medals at an afternoon ceremony at the White House.
Justin Bieber Investigation
Pop star Justin Bieber is being investigated for possible battery against a photographer.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is investigating claims by a photographer that Bieber hit him after he took pictures of the 18-year-old singer and his girlfriend, actress Selena Gomez.
The photographer was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released.
Bieber's representatives did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
