A cool fog drifted downhill from the blast site and rolled across the highway into the tiny town.Jerry Briggs, fire coordinator for neighboring Warren County, was quickly on the scene. He assumed the pipe was spewing natural gas; such pipelines crisscross the region. But as his team rushed to help the victims, what they saw didn’t make sense.People were acting like “zombies,” dazed and walking in circles or gazing back blankly as responders yelled for them to evacuate. Others convulsed, drooling, as panic-stricken family members called 911.In the end, 49 people were hospitalized. Some still have symptoms and struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder.It wasn’t until about an hour after the February 2020 explosion that the ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:50:36 GMT

Bellingham will be attracting all the attention again when Madrid visits Celta Vigo on Saturday to try to stay perfect.His arrival brought plenty of excitement to Madrid fans hopeful he could make an instant impact and boost the team’s midfield, and his early performances exceeded even some of the most optimistic expectations.Most importantly, they gave Madrid assurance that it has an important attacking option in a sector of the squad that had many fans worried because of its lack of depth.

Typical Summer Days ahead…

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:50:36 GMT

Winds are subsiding and that really helped curb the heat. Therefore, we will continue with an onshore flow driving in a couple showers on the breeze early. By the afternoon, scattered showers and an isolated storm possible mainly inland.Temperatures will be near average with lows in the upper 70’s to low 80’s and highs in the low 90’s.The weekend looks extra hot and humid with plenty of dry time. However, the pattern next week will depend on the tropics.NHC is now highlighting the Northwestern Caribbean Sea as a future low could form in that region over the next few days. Right now it has a medium change for development, but it is too early to tell what will happen with it (because nothing has formed).The EURO has been aggressively showing a well-organized low tracking into Florida and pulling up tons of moisture our way.While the GFS (American Model) is not showing a closed low, but rather a large area of clouds and rain getting drawn up North early next week.Eith...
