Five stories to know for August 31:

1. Celebratory gunfire resounded across Kabul as Taliban fighters took control of the airport before dawn, following the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops.

2. Ida, one of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the U.S. Gulf Coast, knocked out power to over 1 million homes in Louisiana and prompted rescue operations in flooded communities around New Orleans.

3. Residents and tourists in communities near Lake Tahoe fled as a fierce, 2-week-old wildfire roared closer to the popular resort destination through drought-parched forests in northern California's Sierra Nevada mountains.

4. The Florida Department of Education said it has withheld funds from two school districts that made masks mandatory in classrooms this fall.

5. European Union governments agreed to remove the United States from the EU's safe travel list.
