If you’ve ever been to the Central United States, you may have heard the term “Tornado Alley”. Tornado Alley isn’t actually a scientific term or even a specific place on a map — it’s a general zone of the Great Plains known for its serious twisters. This area has the perfect mix of warm, muggy […]

Severe weather risks are shifting this week back to Plains and Midwest while the weather in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic states couldn't be better to start off this holiday week. In the Northern Plains today we have severe thunderstorm and elevated tornado risks for the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. The riska area shifts eastward Tuesday and Wednesday in the Middle and Upper Mississippi River Valley from Missouri and Kansas northward into parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tornado risk will also be elevated.

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

This weekend, a system more typical of the winter months will be moving through New England. A primary low pressure system will track well to the north of New England with a secondary low forming and passing through the region (while this setup is more common in the winter, the track this system is taking would produce a winter rainstorm, not a snowstorm, but in late June, that's beside the point). A warm front will be pulled through New England tonight with a cold front being dragged across the region later Sunday.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.

The Aurora City Council will consider Monday allowing residents of the city to own up to four dogs, an increase from the current city limit of three dogs per household. “The love for dogs is an age-old sentiment that transcends cultures and societies,” reads the ordinance, sponsored by council member Francoise Bergan. “Dogs have not only become companions to the young and old, but also are considered members of a family unit.”

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

Come Friday, the 5th though, go and grab up one of these terrific cats, all available from local, Kansas City shelters.
