Jonathan Porter, Chief Meteorologist, Accuweather joins Megan Lynch with a look at the dangerous flooding situation that impacted central Texas this week.

The danger comes from corded phones or mobile devices being actively charged during a storm. If your phone is charging and you're holding it when lightning hits, you're connected to your home's electrical system—putting you at risk. Taking a shower, washing dishes or even running water from the tap can also put you in harm's way. Even non-metal pipes can conduct electricity through the water itself. An insurance adjuster in Cape Coral, Florida, recently filmed heavy damage in a bathroom due to a lightning strike. Also, got outdoor plans for the Fourth of July?

A new report says wildfire season in the U.S. could escalate quickly in 2025 as heat, drought, and past storm damage create dangerous conditions. AccuWeather forecasts up to 9 million acres could burn nationwide, with as many as 9,000 fires expected in California alone. Earlier this year, deadly wildfires in Southern California caused up to $275 billion in damage. Experts warn spring brings heightened risk across the southern Plains and Gulf Coast, especially in drought-hit areas and regions impacted by Hurricane Helene. Most fires are human-caused, and the threat to lives and property continues to grow. KFI's Heather Brooker (@theheatherbrooker) spoke with Senior Meteorologist Paul Pastelok wiht AccuWeather to get more details on the report and how it will affect people in California.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we explore climate change and its implications for property insurance through the lens of the wildfires in Los Angeles.  The fires that broke out in LA in January killed at least 29 people and destroyed or damaged thousands of structures. Early estimates from AccuWeather put the total damage and economic losses at more than $250 billion.  “Climate change is not the only culprit here, but it is an accentuating factor that made this event and other events more severe than they would have been otherwise,” says Terry Thompson, Chief Scientist in the Climate Center of Excellence at S&P Global.  We also talk to Gavin Schmidt, Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, about why extreme weather events like wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe as the world warms.  "We can prevent the situation getting worse by reducing, in the end to zero, carbon dioxide emissions," Gavin says. "There's really no practical other way to even stabilize the situation, let alone reverse it.”   And we hear how the insurance landscape is changing in an interview with former California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, who is now Director of the Climate Risk Initiative at UC Berkeley's Center for Law, Energy and the Environment.  Dave explains that some property insurers are raising prices and declining to write or renew insurance in places that face rising losses from disasters like the LA wildfires.  “The increase in price of insurance and the increased unavailability of insurance has significant economic consequences for households and businesses,” Dave says. “Insurance is the climate crisis canary in the coal mine, and the canary is starting to expire.”  Listen to our episode about Canadian wildfires: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/how-the-canadian-wildfires-impact-business-net-zero-health   Want to get in touch?

California lawmakers appear almost as afraid of President-elect Donald Trump as they do of the wildfires that have raved 40,000 of their state. With fires still burning across Los Angeles County, California Democrats met to authorize $50 million in the state's budget to “Trump proof” California.   State Senate Budget Committee Chair Scott Wiener, a Democrat, on Monday said he will amend the legislation to designate $25 million to provide illegal aliens living in California with legal services to avoid deportation. Trump and Tom Homan, who Trump tapped to be his border czar, have pledged to launch mass deportations of illegal immigrants, beginning with criminal illegal aliens.   “My GOP colleagues say we have to choose between helping LA recover from wildfires & protecting CA from Trump. But we can do both,” Wiener wrote on X.   AccuWeather estimates the total damage and economic loss from the California wildfire to be between $250 billion and $275 billion. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed at least $2.5 billion in emergency response funding in response to the fire.   But California Democrats are not the only bracing for the changes set to take effect under a Trump administration. The U.S. military has also been put on notice regarding it's DEI policies and previous vaccine mandates. If confirmed as Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth told senators during his hearing Tuesday that he will remove the woke agenda from the U.S. military and reinstate members of the military who were discharged for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.   On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the ways the incoming Trump administration is putting the radical left on notice and bringing accountability back to government. Plus, we discuss the left's reaction to the news that Carrie Underwood will perform at Trump's inauguration.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Tuesday, January 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Biggest persecutors of Christians worldwide Global Christian Relief has released its 2025 Red List — drawing attention to the big persecutors of Christians over the last two years. Nigeria tops the worldwide list for murders with a total of 9,814 martyrs for Jesus. India tops the worldwide list for building attacks which stands at 4,949. Mozambique comes in second for building attacks.  China tops the list for arrests and Eritrea comes in second.   Pray for Christians in these dangerous areas of the world this year and get your prayer guide at GlobalChristianRelief.org.  California fire death count at 25 The death count connected with the California fires is now at 25.  The Palisades and Eaton fires together make for the second most destructive fire in California history. Professor Char Miller appeared on AccuWeather. MILLER: “One hundred mile-an-hour gusts are recorded all over the region. Sustained winds of 60 to 70 miles. And then you've got this incredibly fast moving fire. Some estimates say something like three American football fields in a minute were incinerated.” The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports 40,600 acres burned and 12,300 structures destroyed. The National Weather Service is predicting another windstorm affecting areas from Santa Barbara south into Los Angeles today and tomorrow. . . expecting wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour. California fire damage will cost $140 billion Accuweather now estimates the price tag for the damage caused by these California fires is between $135 and $150 billion.   The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Center for Environmental Information reports 27 separate billion dollar disasters last year — costing this country $183 billion. Three of the five worst years in U.S. recorded history, for hurricane damage, include 2024, 2022, and 2021. In terms of number of billion dollar catastrophic events, 2023 and 2024 were the worst in U.S. history. God, not “Mother Nature,” is responsible for the winds The news agencies have referred to “Mother Nature” over and over again. However, “Mother Nature” is not in control. God is sovereign over every natural disaster, absolutely in control of the winds rushing over the State of California now. Keep Psalm135:6 in mind. Whatever the Lord pleases He does, “in Heaven and on Earth, in the seas and in all deep places. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the Earth. He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries.” 5 of 12 insurance agencies pulled out of California Insurance cannot save us either.   Five out of twelve of the major insurance providers in California have pulled out of the Golden State. The government FAIR plan is also dramatically overextended, accountable for $300 billion of properties with only $200 million in surplus coverage. Fifteen insurance companies have gone bankrupt in the last three years. That's more than the previous 20 years combined. And now this. Only 2% of homes affected by hurricane flooding this year were insured.  Psalm 20:7-8 reads: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.  They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.” 80% of parents oppose student's gender identity kept secret A recent survey sponsored by Parents Defending Education found that 80% of American parents oppose schools helping students change their gender identity.  In addition, 74% opposed teaching elementary children about homosexuality, and 78% oppose biological males playing in female sports programs.  The organization DefendingEd.org identifies 1,143 school districts which openly state that they can or will keep a student's transgender status hidden from parents.   Interestingly, 67% of Republican parents, 53% of independent parents, and 29% of Democratic parents support reducing the size and influence of the U.S. Department of Education. And 77% of parents support a U.S. Department of Education that allows states to have more flexibility on how they run their school districts Trump's cabinet picks head to Senate Today begins confirmation hearings for Trump's cabinet picks to include Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth who will appear before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, reports NBC News.
