California se prepara para una poderosa tormenta que podría provocar inundaciones

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

(CNN) — Las autoridades de California pidieron a los residentes que se preparen para una poderosa tormenta que azotará la región con lluvias torrenciales a finales de esta semana, mientras el estado aún se recupera de las colosales cantidades de nieve que dejaron atrapadas a las comunidades montañosas.Alrededor de 16 millones de personas en el centro y el norte de California, incluidas las áreas de la Bahía de San Francisco y de Sacramento, estaban bajo alerta de inundaciones este miércoles temprano antes de una tormenta que se preveé que lleve mucha agua a la región este jueves con cantidades peligrosas de lluvia en muchos lugares que aún tienen capas de nieve producto de tormentas brutales anteriores.“La combinación de fuertes lluvias y deshielo puede provocar inundaciones”, dijo el Centro de Predicción del Tiempo. “Los ríos y arroyos en las estribaciones occidentales de Sierra Nevada serán más vulnerables a las inundaciones por la lluvia y el deshielo”.Con la nieve hasta la...

Get ready, Colorado: Bears are waking up from a long winter's nap

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Warmer temperatures are on the horizon, which means it is time to start keeping an eye on your trash can.Bears are waking up from hibernation. First grizzly bear emerges from long winter’s nap at Yellowstone Colorado Parks and Wildlife said that males, or boars, are the first to leave their winter dens. After that, females, or sows, that didn’t give birth over the winter will leave hibernation. The last bears to leave their winter homes are sows who gave birth to this year’s cubs. Those bears will typically emerge in late April, according to CPW. Guide: Living with bears in Colorado Bear activity in 2022The biggest cause of conflict with bears last year was bears trying to gain access to trash, as well as birdfeeders, livestock, bears accessing open garages, and other human-originated items that are left unsecured.

Row after Braverman email blames civil servants for blocking small boats action

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

LONDON — Home Secretary Suella Braverman was accused of a “cowardly attack” on the U.K. civil service after a campaign email sent in her name blamed Whitehall for frustrating plans to cut the number of small boats crossing the English Channel.In a Conservative Party message sent to supporters under Braverman’s name — but which Downing Street and the Conservatives denied she had seen or approved — the home secretary appeared to point the finger at government officials for scuppering earlier efforts to grip the issue.“We tried to stop the small boat crossings without changing our laws,” the email, sent to Conservative members Tuesday and bearing Braverman’s signature, said. “But an activist blob of left-wing lawyers, civil servants and the Labour Party blocked us.” No. 10 sought to distance Braverman from the campaign message Wednesday lunchtime, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson telling journalists that the home ...

Senate expected to vote to block controversial DC crime bill

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

(CNN) — The Senate is expected to vote on Wednesday to pass a Republican-led resolution to block a controversial Washington, DC, crime bill that opponents have criticized as weak on crime.The effort has divided Democrats and highlighted the difficult balance the party is attempting to strike as Republicans accuse them of failing to tackle the issue of crime. A large number of Senate Democrats now plan to support the resolution to rescind the DC crime bill after President Joe Biden announced he would not veto it — a move that surprised and upset members of his party as many believe Congress should not interfere in the political affairs of the district.The resolution of disapproval to block the DC crime bill has already passed the House. If the Senate passes the measure as is expected, it would next go to Biden’s desk.Democrats control a narrow 51-to-49 majority in the Senate, where most legislation requires at least 60 votes to pass to overcome a filibuste...

FAA administrator unclear whether airliner close calls are on the rise

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

 (CNN) — After at least six incidents this year, the nation’s top aviation official says he does not know whether close calls involving airliners are on the rise, but says the issue and its causes will be examined at a safety conference next week.“It’s a good question,” Billy Nolen, acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration, said after testifying to the Senate Commerce Committee — his second time there in a month.Nolen defended his agency’s handling of the safety incidents, some of which were averted when pilots — not the air traffic controllers from his agency — avoided a collision. He said officials are “treating each of these as if it had been an actual event.”“The FAA absolutely has a grasp on the situation and it’s something that we look at every day,” Nolen told reporters. “We’ll take a look at these near misses and see if there are lessons to be learned.”He said...

Bruins notebook: Brad Marchand battling to regain form after surgery

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

For those used to seeing Brad Marchand seemingly do just about anything he wants with the puck for years, this season has been different.Instead of contorting defensemen with sublime dekes on a nightly basis, the Bruins’ first line left wing – who is coming off double hip surgery in the summer – is more often than not fighting the puck. Sometimes his seam passes don’t get through to his intended target. The 50-50 battles that he almost always won are tougher now.But while Marchand’s game is still missing some of the wow factor, the job is still getting done. With 54 games under his belt, Marchand is a perfect point-per-game player (19-35-54). When any given game is up for grabs, Marchand is still often in the middle of tipping it in the B’s favor, like when he carried one-time Norris Trophy winner Adam Fox on his hip behind the net to set up Patrice Bergeron’s eventual game-winning goal in last Saturday’s win over the Rangers.Yet Marchand believes...

By TOM KRISHER and MICHELLE CHAPMAN (AP Business Writers)DETROIT (AP) — U.S. safety regulators are turning up the heat on Tesla, announcing investigations into steering wheels coming off some SUVs and a fatal crash involving a Tesla suspected of using an automated driving system when it ran into a parked firetruck in California.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday it is launching a special crash-investigation team to probe the Feb. 18 crash involving a Tesla Model S and a ladder truck from the Contra Costa County fire department. The firetruck probe is part of a larger investigation by the agency into multiple instances of Teslas using the automaker’s Autopilot system crashing into parked emergency vehicles that are tending to other crashes. NHTSA has become more aggressive in pursuing safety problems with Teslas in the past year, announcing multiple recalls and investigations.The driver of the 2014 Tesla Model S was killed in the crash and a...

Boston City Council passes rent control, BPDA reform

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:39 GMT

Mayor Michelle Wu’s major priorities of rent control and BPDA reform are on track to head up to Beacon Hill after the Boston City Council passed them today.The council approved both rent control and reform of the Boston Planning & Development Agency by 11-2 counts.The body approved both in what’s essentially the versions submitted by Wu, so she’s expected to sign them. Once that ink’s dry, both bills then head to the state house, where they need the approval of both chambers of the Legislature and then the governor’s signature.“This is a monumental act by the city of Boston,” Government Operations Chair Ricardo Arroyo said as he recommended passage of the rent-control bill.These are two of Wu’s top priorities — topics she ran on in her 2021 mayoral campaign and also touted in her State of the City speech in January as she laid out her priorities for the year.The rent-control bill would cap year-over-year rent increases at 6% plus consumer price index increases, to a ...
