Maryland State

Meteorologist Joe Cioffi

Overnight we have seen areas of heavy rain and this has set the stage for some flooding risks. Flash Flood Watches cover much of Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey southward into Maryland. An approaching cold front is slowing down to a crawl as it waits for the atmospheric traffic jam to break down. Tropical Storm Ernesto which is north northeast of Bermuda is the reason for the stall. It is also the reason for rough surf conditions and rip currents from Maine to Virginia.

Only three of the deceased riders are confirmed to have been wearing helmets. That's one more death when compared to the 2023 rally. The Sturgis Rally finished on August 11th, and in the period just before, during, and after the event, 12 riders were left dead as a result of road traffic accidents. Of the riders killed, just three were confirmed to have been wearing helmets, while seven of the riders weren't wearing helmets. It's still under investigation whether or not two of the riders were wearing helmets.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
