September Storms

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:16:04 GMT

The stormy pattern continues for south Florida. The current culprit is a front that has stalled nearby. Since the front will linger, so will periods of rain and the threat for more street flooding. On Wednesday, we’ll need to brace for “anytime showers” while storms will still favor the afternoon and evening hours. As we’ve seen lately, developing storms will sometimes have erratic motion and will tend to move slowly. The ground is saturated from recent rains so any flooding could get amplified quickly. If there’s some bright news it includes the passage of the “weak and feeble front” towards the end of the week. Upper winds are forecast to help sweep the front southward, ushering-in slightly drier air. The timing? By Friday, we should see deep moisture suppressed south. That will limit the rain and allow for most places to get some needed dry time. It’s worth noting that the front will remain close enough to the Florida Key...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The crash of an F-35B Joint Strike Fighter aircraft in South Carolina over the weekend has raised numerous questions about what prompted the pilot to eject and how the $100 million warplane was able to keep flying pilotless for 60 miles (100 kilometers) before crashing.Here’s what is known about the modern warplane and its latest incident:‘FORCED TO EJECT’A U.S. Marine Corps pilot was flying a single-seat F-35B fighter jet on Sunday when the pilot experienced a malfunction and was “forced to eject,” a Marine Corps official who was not authorized to speak publicly said on condition of anonymity.

Boston City Council peppers BHA about public housing safety after shooting, OD death

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:16:04 GMT

A highly-publicized overdose death that occurred in a public housing unit with four children present didn’t really cause much of a stir at the Boston Housing Authority, where management says unresponsive person reports are “pretty common.”The incident, which occurred in the Mary Ellen McCormack facility, led to an initial response from the city’s police, fire and EMS, but not from the BHA’s own police force or security personnel.The BHA administrator wasn’t notified, beyond being told that it was a “lower priority call,” for what turned out to be a squalid scene that resulted in the death of a transgender person and four children being taken into custody by the state Department of Children and Families.According to City Council President Ed Flynn, it was he and fellow Councilor Michael Flaherty who alerted the administrator to what was happening on scene, in an apartment managed by the Boston Housing Authority.“I would want to know about that situation though if I were in that leade...

Really high school: proposal would allow students to use medical pot at school

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:16:04 GMT

Bay State high schools may soon have stoned students (lawfully) roaming the halls.Under a proposal heard by the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy on Tuesday, Massachusetts students with medical marijuana prescriptions would be allowed to use pot on school grounds.“This issue is incredibly important,” state Sen. Susan Moran told her colleagues before speaking in support of S.59, or An Act to allow students access to prescription cannabis.“Since medical marijuana use was legalized in 2012, thousands of patients across the commonwealth have been able to effectively utilize treatment under proper medical supervision. This includes school-age children, many of whom medical marijuana treatment has enabled to live more easily in their conditions,” she said.Under current state law, marijuana use and possession is generally prohibited on school property. That means a student who uses marijuana to treat a condition could go through the full school day without their prescribed m...
