Too many disasters, not enough disaster money

The Small Business Administration\u2019s disaster loan program has run dry, meaning the feds can\u2019t make new, low-interest loans to help people rebuild after Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The SBA says it won\u2019t be able to make any new disaster loans until Congress appropriates more money, but members of Congress aren\u2019t scheduled to be back in session until November. And later: Canada’s tourism industry recovery and California’s gasoline reserve.
