A railroad bridge between South Dakota and Iowa has collapsed due to severe flooding, illustrating the extensive impact of the recent heavy rains across the Midwest. This collapse adds to the growing infrastructure damage and challenges faced by the region. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem said the collapse of the bridge is a crucial link for transporting commodities and will have significant repercussions for many months. One person has died in South Dakota and hundreds of homes have been destroyed in Iowa during flooding in the upper US Midwest.

Weather service says Beryl’s remnants spawned 4 Indiana tornadoes, including an EF-3

The remnants of Hurricane Beryl brought much-needed rain to the state, although some areas experienced excessive totals. In addition, sporadic power outages were reported as a result of wind gusts exceeding 30 mph. The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow (CoCoRaHS) volunteer network once again proved essential, with observations ranging from just under 0.4 inches to over 6 inches. The heaviest rainfall was recorded in northwestern Indiana, where Rensselaer 6.2 SE measured 6.05 inches on the morning of July 10 (Figure 1). Despite Hurricane Beryl being the earliest Category 4 and Category 5 hurricane on record, it was not the earliest tropical system to impact Indiana. In fact, it was the seventh earliest tropical system to reach Indiana, based on data from the National Weather Service Indianapolis Office. The earliest known tropical cyclone remnants to reach Indiana were from Alberto on May 30, 2018.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read my second summer project. Instead of looking at a particular storm or event, I wanted to change things slightly. For my topic today, I wanted to discuss the significant and enlightening “shift of Tornado Alley. For most of this post, I will discuss a recent study titled “A Comprehensive Analysis of the Spatial and Seasonal Shifts in Tornado Activity in the United States” by Timothy Coleman, Richard Thompson, and Gregory Forbes. This study focuses on the geographic and seasonal shift of tornados in the United States over the past several decades. I will also be pulling bits and pieces from other articles, and all sources will be made available at the end of the post. Let’s get into it!
