NORTH KOREA FIRES MISSILE OVER JAPAN: Today North Korea fired a midrange ballistic missile over Japan that's designed to carry a nuclear weapon. It landed in the Pacific Ocean, and according to AP, the distance and type of missile test seemed intended to show that North Korea can back up its threat to target the U.S. territory of Guam. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe condemned the launch, saying, "This reckless act of launching a missile that flies over our country is an unprecedented, serious and important threat." Abe also said he spoke to President Trump and they agreed to increase pressure on North Korea.

MORE RAIN COMING AS FLOODWATERS CONTINUE TO RISE IN HOUSTON: Floodwaters have immersed Houston and it looks like it won't be stopping anytime soon.

So far Harvey has been blamed for six deaths in Texas, but more deaths may be revealed after the storm finally passes. 

AMAZON SLASHES WHOLE FOODS' PRICES UP TO 43 PERCENT ON FIRST DAY: If you drive a truck, you can now shop at Whole Foods as prices were slashed by up to 43 percent yesterday! Why?

Among the products with the biggest price reductions were Fuji apples, bananas, salmon, tilapia, gala apples, rotisserie chicken, lean ground beef, and avocados. Amazon's Echo voice-activated electronic assistant was also for sale at Whole Foods stores for $99.99, as well as the Echo Dot, for $44.99.
