Gary, Indiana residents must wait until Tuesday for power, 9 days after storm knocked it out
Nine days after the storm that was to blame for it all, tens of thousands of people yet again woke up without power in Northwest Indiana on Thursday. In Gary, NIPSCO said the power won't be back on until next week. Things really came to a boiling point for some people in Gary in the last 24 hours after NIPSCO released estimated power restoration times for different areas across Northwest Indiana, but initially left Gary off the list. The latest update on the NIPSCO website as of Thursday […] -
Yikes! Good thing I decided to stay home yesterday! (I sometimes venture into #PortlandME during the week.)

If you are in the path, or just like to watch storms, this is for you:
-
There is a confirmed tornado with a debris field in the area of Parker County, Texas. One of the storm chasers drove into it.
-
It's almost 9PM in Dallas, isn't it? Or is it 8PM? Big backup on one of the freeways the 2" hail is headed for.
If you own an auto repair and paint shop in Dallas, this is your time to shine, and also to afford that boat you've always dreamed of.

#NIRS - The Global #NuclearWaste Crisis
"Clean air and drinking water and healthy food are the very foundation of a just and livable world. They are already more precious than ever due to the climate crisis.
#NuclearPower and #NuclearWeapons are poisoning our water, air, and lands with vast amounts of #RadioactiveWaste. Much of the harm is inflicted on #Black, #Indigenous, #PeopleOfColor and #LowIncome white communities, due to #StructuralRacism and #injustice.
Radioactive waste poses a global #EnvironmentalCrisis, in tandem with #ClimateChange. The sheer amount of nuclear waste is enough to threaten clean drinking water and healthy food for the whole world.
We are on the frontlines of this problem.
- Nearly one-third of the worldwide total of radioactive waste is in the United States.
- Some communities in the US are already losing their drinking water sources to radioactive contamination.
- Just one part of the radioactive waste in the US – irradiated nuclear fuel – contains enough radioactivity to make every drop of drinking water on Earth unsafe to consume.We must solve the twin global crises of climate change and nuclear waste. Global warming amplifies the dangers of nuclear energy. Increasingly #SevereStorms, #flooding, #SeaLevelRise, #wildfires and other extreme events increase the risks of nuclear disasters and #RadioactiveLeaks and spills. And, in turn, the impacts of nuclear energy magnify the dangers of climate change:
- Poisoning drinking water and agricultural land on top of more frequent and severe droughts and crop failures.
- Compounding hurricane and flooding evacuations with #RadiologicalDisasters.
- And causing people to lose their homes and communities permanently due to radiation.It’s clear: we can’t afford the dangers of climate change or nuclear waste. And we certainly can’t afford them together.
The solutions to both are at hand. We must act now.
1. To start, we must stop the problems from worsening: no more greenhouse gas emissions, and no more nuclear waste.
2. We need to protect people and the water, air, and food we rely on from the dangers that are upon us. The climate is changing, and we need to protect people for extreme weather, drought, sea-level rise, and food supply disruptions. And we must safeguard our water, air, and land by securing and storing nuclear waste and toxic materials as safely as possible.
3. And, we need to repair the damage and make our world healthy and vibrant again: restoring communities that have been dislocated or polluted, and cleaning up the air, land, and water so we can all thrive, for generations to come."Learn more: (includes https://www.nirs.org/the-global-nuclear-waste-crisis/

Downed poles hit, trap cars in #ScarboroughME
A total of five poles came down and three vehicles were either hit or trapped
SCARBOROUGH, Maine — "A strong thunderstorm moved through the Portland area Tuesday evening with some strong wind gusts between 50 and 60 miles per hour.
"Police said a total of five poles in a row came down along Pleasant Hill Road just after 7 p.m., blocking the roadway. Central Maine Power described it as severe pole damage.
"Three vehicles were either hit by the falling poles or trapped between the poles and wires.
"Police said no one was hurt, but the road was closed for a while Tuesday night while the poles and wires were cleared and CMP put up new wires.
"At about 8 a.m. Wednesday, CMP was reporting about 900 customers without power scattered across the service area."

There have been 80-100 mph sustained winds for an hour in areas of North Dakota and northern Minnesota tonight. Unreal. Light or no rain in the high-wind areas in the influx behind the storms. Allegedly, there exist videos of people trying to stand upright in the winds.
The Paul Bunyan statue apparently has survived, for those of you on the edge of your seats.

#SevereStorms with nocturnal #tornado risk to blitz over a dozen states
Millions of people in the central and eastern #UnitedStates are bracing not only for severe storms and tornadoes but also weather whiplash with #temperatures plummeting as much as 60 degrees in less than 24 hours.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Feb 26, 2024 12:07 PM EST | Updated Feb 26, 2024 3:32 PM EST
"A powerful cold front will mark an end to surging June-like warmth from the Mississippi Valley to the Appalachians at the cost of potentially violent storms that will roar through more than a dozen states from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
"The upcoming severe weather eruption, which may affect as many as 50 million people, has been on AccuWeather's radar for at least a week due to a potent storm the team has been tracking since it began its journey well out over the Pacific Ocean. As that storm interacts with a strong jet stream, surging Gulf of Mexico moisture and an increasing temperature difference between unusual warmth and February cold, natural fireworks in the form of powerful thunderstorms will unfold.
"'The first thunderstorms will erupt along the edge of advancing warm air from mid- to late afternoon on Tuesday from northern Illinois and Indiana to southern Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as northwestern Ohio,' AccuWeather Meteorologist Alyssa Glenny said. These storms will become severe toward the end of the day.
"Next, thunderstorms will explode southwestward along the advancing cold front, extending from northern Illinois to Arkansas Tuesday evening. The front and the severe weather it packs will move across the Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys during the overnight hours on Tuesday.
"All modes of #SevereWeather are anticipated with the severe weather. Some of the storms will pack damaging #wind gusts, large #hail and torrential #downpours capable of leading to flash flooding. However, the potential for multiple #tornadoes is also a serious concern with the upcoming severe weather threat.
"'The greatest threat of tornadoes may occur along and in between interstates 70 and 80 in the Midwest, beginning in Illinois and western Indiana late in the day Tuesday and expanding eastward from there Tuesday night,' AccuWeather StormWarning Meteorologist Joseph Bauer said.
"The Tuesday evening and night tornado threat includes the massive #Chicago and SaintLouis metro areas and the cities of #Indianapolis, #SouthBend and #FortWayne, Indiana; #ToledoOhio and #LimaOhio; and #SpringfieldIllinois and #PeoriaIllinois.
"Should the severe thunderstorms organize into a single solid line on Tuesday night, the risk of damaging wind gusts may broaden, but the risk of highly dangerous tornadoes may lower. While a line of storms may form, it may be fragmented and individual discreet thunderstorms, which are most capable of producing tornadoes, may proceed the line.
"AccuWeather meteorologists urge people in the path of the storms to pay attention to severe weather bulletins, including signing up for alerts that may precede the messages when sleeping at night, such as the AccuWeather App.
"The risk of severe thunderstorms, including a few tornadoes, will carry over into Wednesday as the cold front advances to the east and south toward the central and southern #Appalachians. On Wednesday, the severe weather threat will extend from southern #NewYork state to the northern parts of #Mississippi, #Alabama and #Georgia.
"The potential for storms capable of causing property damage and localized power outages on Wednesday will include #NewYorkCity, #Philadephia, #WashingtonDC., #Charlotte and part of the #Atlanta metro area.
"As the powerful cold front presses on toward the mid-Atlantic coast, storms will bring brief downpours and strong wind gusts, as opposed to a tornado threat. In some cases, the squally storms may occur without thunder and lightning by the time the storms reach the coast, Bauer said.
Powerful cold front to mark as much as 60-degree temperature crash"One of the reasons for the severe weather will be the rapid exchange of warm and cold air. Temperatures more typical of May and early June will precede the cold front, including unusual warmth at night into Tuesday in the Central states and into Wednesday along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
"Widespread highs in the 60s and 70s across the north and the 70s and 80s across the south are in store ahead of the front. Nighttime lows will be in the 40s and 50s across the north and the 50s and 60s across the south for the first part of this week.
"Temperatures will range from 15-30 degrees Fahrenheit above the historical average in many areas but may reach 40 degrees in some places through Tuesday in the central states and from Tuesday to Wednesday along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
"In the wake of the front, from Tuesday to Wednesday night, temperatures will crash 40 degrees over a broad area in a matter of hours.
"'For example, at Kansas City, Missouri, temperatures may drop about 60 degrees in 18 hours, which could set a record,' AccuWeather Meteorologist and Social Media Producer Jesse Ferrell stated. The existing record is 56 degrees, set on Jan. 15, 1953.
"In some cases, such as parts of the central Plains, the Upper Midwest, the Appalachians and New England, the blast of cold air will be so rapid as to catch up with the lingering moisture in the wake of the front. This temperature plunge will lead to pockets of accumulating# snow and/or a rapid #freezeup where moisture and slush can freeze into sheets of ice within an hour.
"The #FlashFreeze will spread eastward across the Upper #Midwest Tuesday night and from the central #Appalachians to #NewEngland Wednesday evening and night.
"In most cases along the mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts, gusty winds will dry off roads and sidewalks Wednesday night, but there may be a few exceptions, and caution is advised."
