Our Top Local Story:  A morning shot of storms is causing power outages across the first coast.  It's creating a messy commute to work and could lead to problems on the road.

Our Top National Story: No letup in the Occupy Wall Street movement.  The protests are now in their fourth week and expanding to big cities across the country, including Jacksonville on Saturday.  City councilman Don Redman showed up on Hemming Plaza to ask police if the protestors had a permit to be there.  Officers say the protest was problem free.

Jacksonville cops are trying to figure out who opened fire on a car early Sunday morning on Emerson near the Hart Bridge. The people shot are expected to recover, and there is no word on the suspect or motive.

How much lower can the Jaguars sink?  They lost 30-20 to the Bengals Sunday at Everbank Field, giving up the lead late in the fourth quarter.  A botched snap killed a last-minute drive by QB Blaine Gabbert.  The 1-4 Jags head to Pittsburgh this Sunday.

Casey Anthony remains silent for the most part, and attorneys for the woman suing her are plotting their next move.  Anthony invoking her Fifth Amendment rights in a nearly hour-long deposition.  Zenaida Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation, after she used her name in making up an identity for her daughter's abductor.

Updating You Decide 2012:  The full slate of Republican presidential candidates is descending on New Hampshire for the first time.  They'll debate tomorrow night at Dartmouth College and mix in some campaigning around the state.  A new poll in the Granite State puts Mitt Romney well ahead of the field, followed by Herman Cain and Rick Perry. 

A controversial pastor who backs Rick Perry's presidential bid is not backing down from his comments that Mormonism is a cult.  Pastor Robert Jeffress says it's his duty as a religious figure to highlight theological issues in politics.

An 80-year-old woman is dead and seven people are rescued off the Florida Keys after their boat capsized. The Coast Guard says no one was wearing a life preserver, and the survivors were treading water in the choppy ocean for some 20 hours.
