Good morning. It's Wednesday, December 7. A strong undersea earthquake rocked Indonesia's Aceh province early today, killing at least 54 people and sparking a frantic rescue effort.

A 50-year-old nursery in Winter Garden will begin selling locally grown medical marijuana this week, with plans to open its first dispensary soon near downtown Orlando.

See a video about commemorative quilts made to honor the Pulse shooting victims and distributed to first responders.
