Tornadoes are one of nature’s most awe-inspiring and deadly storms. They pack the highest wind speeds ever measured on Earth, up to 300+ mph. At that speed, a tornado can pick up vehicles, shatter buildings, and launch 2x4s like javelins with enough force to pierce a brick wall! As many states are in the midst […]

“If you feel it, chase it!” After 28 years, the disaster cult classic makes a roaring comeback with its highly-anticipated sequel, Twisters. While it’s not a direct continuation of the 1996 Twister movie, it brings the same exhilarating, action-packed vibe that made the original a hit. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a former storm chaser who’s been haunted by a traumatic tornado encounter, gets pulled back into the wild world of storm chasing by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test out a revolutionary tracking system. Along the way, she butts heads with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), a charismatic storm chaser who’s gained the love and adoration of his YouTube followers. As storm season heats up, terrifying weather phenomena emerge, forcing Kate, Tyler, and their rival teams to confront erratic storm systems.

Powerful and damaging thunderstorms that have been focused mostly on the Midwest in recent days will turn their attention to the eastern United States through midweek. As a cold front gains momentum, severe thunderstorms, many packing high wind gusts, will erupt and roll from the eastern Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and middle Mississippi Valley to the Appalachians and Atlantic Seaboard into Wednesday night and beyond in some cases, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.

Severe storms could break more than the heat in eastern US

Baltimore, MD

We have an energetic set up in the atmosphere today to produce strong storms with the potential to turn severe. Many areas in our region have a Heat Index over 100ºF, proving the function of high heat AND humidity. That is the fuel for strong thunderstorms and possibly supercells. Add in a strong cold front connected to the remnant Low or Ghost of former Hurricane Beryl and we have a trigger to ignite the explosive development mid afternoon into this evening.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.
