Texas State

Meteorologist Joe Cioffi

This past weekend was one of the most active severe weather weekends in a long time across the US. Friday thourgh yesterday produced at least 79 tornadoes and when you add in the reports of wind and hail, we are talking nearly 1000 incidents of severe weather. This is the highest number since 2011 which is considered the most active severe weather year on record. Today we see severe weather risks shift back westward from the East Coast to Texas and Oklahoma. In fact the entire state of Texas is under either a "slight" or "enhanced" risk for severe weather with the Central part of the state at the highest risk.

Texas the center of attention for severe storms, & rising risks heavy rains, & flash flooding

WyoFile

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

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.

Many believe the cryptid Ozark Howler is simply a folk monster like Momo. The Ozark Howler has been brought forward in oral traditions as a creature of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains span parts of Missouri and Arkansas and have been home to this legendary creature that has captured the imagination of many. This elusive animal has been described as a large, black, and shaggy creature. Some say it looks like a very large cat. It's also been reported in numerous sightings, stories of which have been passed down through generations. Many wonder if the Ozark Howler is a real creature or simply a myth.

The Current GA

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November. Ballot casters up and down the Peach State made choices Tuesday that are already set to reshape the state Legislature, which could have an even greater effect on the average Georgian than who sits in the White House this time next year.

By the end of the year, the owners of Kentucky Speedway will have paid Gallatin County more than $900,000 for tickets never sold to races never run. NASCAR abandoned the racetrack following the 2020 Quaker State 400, but a 20-year PILOT agreement (Payments In Lieu Of Taxes) obligates Speedway Motorsports Inc. to two annual payments through 2031: a $180,000 lump sum and a $1 per ticket fee with a $230,000 minimum, even if the venue remains vacant.

Georgia Democrats are sounding the alarm over potential mass voter challenges ahead of the November election. Georgia law allows local voters to challenge the eligibility of as many people as they want if they suspect the person is ineligible to cast a ballot. Ahead of the Jan. 2021 runoffs for the U.S. Senate, a conservative vote monitoring group called True the Vote challenged hundreds of thousands of voters’ eligibility.

Democrats warn that Georgia laws enable new, mass voter challenges

A deadly plane crash. A cryptic epitaph. And mysteries that endured for 82 years. Their story ended with a cryptic epitaph on a Marietta National Cemetery headstone: Died in a plane crash WWII April 29, 1942. And our interest in this story began there several Memorial Days past.

A Mysterious WWII Plane Crash Haunted Our Visits to Marietta National Cemetery

This may come as a surprise to many Americans. Not one single Baptist in this country belongs to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). There is much publicity these days about the pronouncements of that organization, making it appear that it stands for and speaks on behalf of all southern Baptists.

Opinion – Bill Cunningham: SBC is an antiquated organization that no longer represents Baptist faith

Canadian-born Private Dennis B. Buckley died a Union hero in the Battle of Peach Tree Creek near Atlanta on July 20, 1864. For his actions, he was awarded the US Medal of Honor, today the nation's highest military honor. Then he and his bravery were buried and lost for 142 years at Marietta National Cemetery. And all because of a clerical error.
