Guest: Kevin RothWe all love to think that the outcome of a game comes down to talent, strategy, and maybe a little luck. But there's another player on the field that nobody can control: the weather. Wind can turn a routine fly ball into an adventure, heat and humidity can test athletes and fans, and a thunderstorm can send an entire stadium scrambling for cover. So how much can weather actually influence the game—and what should fans know before they head to the stadium? Today, we're talking to Kevin Roth, a sports meteorologist who lives right at the intersection of weather and sports. We'll talk about forecasting for different sports, how weather affects performance and strategy, and how fans can be better prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws their way.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Kevin Roth and sports meteorology01:57 How Kevin Rxoth became a weather geek and his background03:49 The intersection of weather and sports forecasting07:52 Data analysis in sports weather forecasting12:04 Challenges of using weather data for player-specific insights12:39 Break 112:40 Impact of stadium microclimates and venue design19:48 Weather's influence on game strategy and player performance23:57 Weather considerations in sports betting and fantasy sports24:40 Break 224:41 Adapting forecasts for severe weather and safety concerns32:02 Career advice for aspiring sports meteorologists35:46 Future of weather forecasting in sports and technology advancementsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Natural Disasters Expo Houston! For its fifth year, Natural Disasters Expo USA comes back to Houston on October 14–15, 2026, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. And there's no better place for it. This city knows what it takes to prepare for disasters, respond, and rebuild afterward. For two days, industry leaders, government agencies, first responders, and resilience professionals will come together with one shared goal: helping communities weather the next storm stronger than the last. Explore new solutions and technology, learn from experts who have been on the front lines, and meet the partners who will help you turn preparedness into action. Whether you're here to learn, share, or collaborate, you're part of the effort to build a more resilient nation. In this speaker series, Tom Fox interviews Dalton Rice, City Manager of Kerrville, ahead of the Natural Disaster Expo 2026, where Rice will speak on “Leading Through a Disaster: Hill Country Floods 2025.”  Rice previews a leadership-focused talk on how individuals and organizations navigate disasters, emphasizing immediate mental health support, burnout prevention, and adapting operations while continuing to run cities and departments. He plans to incorporate lessons from Kerrville's July 4, 2025, flood and a second major flood on July 16, 2026, noting differences between fatality events and devastation-only disasters and how politics, resources, and pace of response affect outcomes. Rice says he values the conference for networking and building a “Rolodex” of peers, and he explains his goal of creating practical guidance for city managers, including challenges such as legislative dynamics, IT issues, hate mail, death threats, and separating disaster response from organizational operations.

Your Basement Flooded. The Water Is Gone. But What If It Still Smells? Edmonton's unusually wet summer created serious problems for homeowners, landlords and tenants. Basements flooded, roofs leaked, restoration companies became overwhelmed, and months later some property owners are still trying to put their homes back together. Today's episode starts with a detailed question from an Edmonton real estate investor whose basement suites flooded during the summer. The restoration company removed drywall and flooring, dried the basement and reported that mold or mildew remediation wasn't required. But there's one problem: the tenant still detects an odor they believe smells like mold or mildew. What do you do before rebuilding everything? Wayne and Gabby's Experience With Flooded Properties This wasn't a hypothetical situation for Wayne and Gabby. Their portfolio experienced more than $100,000 in expenses related to this summer's rain and flooding. Some properties had relatively minor problems, while others required substantial work. One property remains vacant while they work through multiple sources of water intrusion and prepare to complete the renovation. Wayne explains why this year reinforced one of their biggest investing principles: cash flow isn't spending money. They keep the cash flow generated by their portfolio in reserves so that unexpected events don't force them to borrow money, sell properties or scramble for capital. The flood was expensive. But because they were prepared for an unexpected event, it didn't threaten the portfolio. Can a Basement Still Smell After Remediation? Wayne and Gabby have noticed lingering smells during some restoration projects. Their experience, however, has been that those smells disappeared once the renovation was fully completed. Wayne compares it to renovating extremely distressed properties. Cigarette smoke, animal odors and other smells can seem impossible to eliminate when you first enter a property. After proper cleaning, new flooring, paint, baseboards and other improvements, the finished property can smell completely different. That doesn't mean a property owner should assume an odor is harmless. The first priority is determining whether the remediation was completed correctly. What Should You Verify With the Restoration Company? Gabby suggests confirming exactly what the remediation company did. Was damaged material removed? Was disinfectant applied? Was proper drying equipment used? Were moisture levels checked before reconstruction was approved? Those are important questions because the goal isn't simply to hide an odor. It's to make sure the property has actually been properly remediated before rebuilding it. Should You Get a Second Opinion? One of the most practical suggestions from today's conversation is to bring in another restoration professional if you aren't confident in the first company's assessment. There are two different perspectives in this particular situation. The tenant believes they smell something. The restoration company says the property is ready. Gabby's suggestion is to introduce an independent third perspective. That could mean the landlord inspecting the property personally or asking another qualified restoration company to assess the work and provide a second opinion before the walls and flooring go back in. Wayne and Gabby agree that cutting corners doesn't make sense. Tearing a finished basement apart again because something was missed would be far more disruptive and expensive. Flooding Is a Landlord Responsibility Wayne also discusses something they saw repeatedly in Edmonton this summer: tenants looking for new rentals because their existing landlords hadn't properly repaired flooded basements. Removing standing water isn't the end of the job. A landlord has a responsibility to properly address water damage and make sure the property is safe before putting everything back together. Wayne emphasizes that the investor who submitted today's question appears to be taking that responsibility seriously. The fact that they're considering an independent environmental assessment demonstrates how seriously they're approaching the problem. The Bigger Investing Lesson: Build Your Reserves Flooding is also a reminder that owning rental property means dealing with expenses you can't predict. Wayne and Gabby's philosophy is to avoid spending the cash flow produced by their properties, particularly during the early years of ownership. Instead, cash flow builds reserves. A portfolio that looks fantastic on paper but doesn't have enough money available to handle a major repair is vulnerable. That's one reason Wayne uses the 5% Rule™ when evaluating properties: (Annual Cash Flow ÷ Down Payment) × 100 5–6% = sufficient 7–9% = strong 10%+ = excellent Cash flow creates the cushion that helps an investor survive the things nobody included in the original spreadsheet. Rapid-Fire: Edmonton's Rental Market The episode finishes with several investor questions. Wayne describes Edmonton's current rental market as highly competitive, with considerable rental supply giving tenants more choices. His expectation is that landlords will need to compete harder for strong tenants and that some rents may soften. At the same time, Wayne says he's currently achieving some of the strongest investment returns of his career. His distinction is important: a difficult rental market doesn't necessarily mean a bad acquisition market. Investors need to buy the right property and become much better at marketing and operating their rentals. How Should Someone Learn Real Estate Investing? Wayne's answer is education before acquisition. Understand how to choose a market, analyze a property and operate the investment before committing your savings or someone else's capital. The Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show provides free education and coaching every weekday morning at 7:00 AM Mountain Time. How Do You Buy More Properties When You've Run Out of Money? Wayne's rapid-fire answer: seller financing. Seller financing, including Agreements for Sale, played a major role in Wayne and Gabby's early portfolio growth. Rather than relying entirely on their own down payments or conventional financing, they learned how to structure transactions where the seller provided financing. It's one of Wayne's favourite strategies for experienced investors who understand how to buy and operate rental properties but have exhausted their available capital.

Nepal is still reeling from the devastation caused by recent flash floods. More than a thousand people are reported to have lost their lives and thousands more are still missing. The physical impact is extensive with many hydropower stations, providing the country's main source of energy, either damaged or destroyed. The floods have also severely impacted Nepal's other major industries including tourism. The concern now is that the billions of dollars required for Nepal to get back on its feet go way beyond its own resources. And reconstruction will mean elevating those measures required for monitoring and responding to future geological hazards and climate change. But right now, the country's road to recovery appears long, costly and almost impossible. So just how can Nepal's economy rebuild after floods?Contributors: Dr Neera Shrestha Pradhan, water and disaster risk reduction lead, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, Patan, Nepal Dr Dinesh Paudel, professor of sustainable development, Appalachian State University, North Carolina, USA Santosh Nepal, researcher in water resources and climate change, International Water Management Institute, Lalitpur, Nepal Ritu Bharadwaj, director climate resilience, finance and loss & damage, International Institute for Environment and Development, London, UK(Photo: An aerial view of houses surrounded by mud, rocks and debris following flash floods in Betravati village, Rasuwa, Nepal.

Hurricane Nolo passed farther south than forecast and spared Hawaii Island the worst case, but flooded roads on the Big Island, prompted five high-water rescues Sunday and knocked out power on Oahu and Maui. A pre-landfall Presidential Emergency Declaration approved Friday covers four counties at a 75 percent federal cost share. On the East Coast, the nor'easter killed a New York City Housing Authority worker struck by a falling tree Saturday in Brooklyn, drove outages past 100,000 customers at their peak, and produced the worst coastal flooding since Sandy at two Jersey Shore tide gauges. New Jersey and New York both declared states of emergency before landfall. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 69 incidents and 6,003 personnel, down 305, and three new large fires, including one near Benton City, Washington, that destroyed seven structures. The EMN NEWS Daily Brief is your concise daily update on national and state-by-state emergency management news.KEY TAKEAWAYSHawaii outcome: Nolo tracked south of the main islands, with rainfall above 14 inches at the Big Island's highest elevations. Crews worked through Sunday on flooding, debris, high surf and wind. Highway 11 in Kau closed in multiple locations between Pahala and Waiohinu. Hawaii County Civil Defense is asking residents and businesses to report storm damage so agencies and nonprofit partners can assess unmet needs.Hawaii infrastructure: The Hawaii County Department of Water Supply asked customers in affected service areas to limit water to essential health and safety needs, citing power outages and possible damage to water system infrastructure. County solid waste transfer stations in Kauai stayed closed, and the Hele-On Route 90 run to Kona was canceled.Federal declaration: The pre-landfall declaration approved September 25 provides federal assistance for emergency protective measures in the City and County of Honolulu and Hawaii, Maui and Kauai counties, including direct federal assistance, at a 75 percent federal cost share. The State Emergency Operations Center remains at Level 1 full activation with 24-hour staffing, coordinating with FEMA Region IX, the counties and utilities.Get ready, Long Beach!

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports a powerful nor'easter floods the Northeast again, causing problems from New Jersey to New England.

A powerful nor'easter is flooding coastal communities across the Northeast, with heavy rain, strong winds, and dangerous surf. A state of emergency in effect for New York City, coastal areas of New Jersey, and Long Island. Forecasters say a high pressure system will bring drier, warmer weather by Tuesday. While this storm's impact has been nowhere near that, it could be the first of several along the East Coast this fall, driven by a strong El Niño climate pattern.President Donald Trump said on Sunday he expects talks with Iran to start up again this week, while declining to rule out military strikes before the midterm elections. Last week, the president rejected a seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying it did not meet his expectations. The president also said yesterday that a record amount of oil was safely transported through the Strait of Hormuz the previous night.The Trump administration is defending its decision to limit some media access to the White House and Air Force One. Attorney General Todd Blanche said Trump made the decision to restrict media access after “years and years of one-sided media coverage.” A federal judge last week ordered the White House to temporarily restore press credentials for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. However, the ruling did not directly address access to Air Force One.

Ocean City is currently experiencing severe coastal flooding driven by a powerful nor'easter pounding the East Coast.

THE EMN NEWS DAILY BRIEF | Thursday, 24 September 2026Tropical Storm Nolo formed south of Hawaii on Wednesday, and a hurricane watch is in effect for Hawaii County, with a flood watch covering the Big Island and Maui County through Saturday evening. Forecast rainfall is 15 to 20 inches on Hawaii Island, with isolated totals to 35 inches, on ground already damaged by Hurricane Lala in August. A strengthening nor'easter is driving coastal flooding and gale-force marine winds from North Carolina to southern New England, with a wind advisory posted for the Atlantic coasts of New Jersey and Delaware through Friday evening. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency Tuesday for 19 counties hit by flooding. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 87 incidents and 8,523 personnel, down 1,178 in a day. Year-to-date acreage was revised down to 8,096,338, or 137 percent of average, from 146 percent. The EMN NEWS Daily Brief is your concise daily update on national and state-by-state emergency management news.KEY TAKEAWAYSHawaii: Nolo was centered about 285 miles south of South Point late Wednesday with 50-mile-per-hour winds, crawling north at 2 miles per hour. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center forecasts hurricane strength by Thursday night and possibly a major hurricane by the weekend, with the closest approach to the Big Island Friday into Saturday. A hurricane watch means hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours.Hawaii impacts: The state emergency management agency forecasts widespread totals of 15 to 20 inches on Hawaii Island, with isolated totals of 35 inches in the southeast; catastrophic flooding is possible Friday and Saturday, with life-threatening landslides in steep terrain. Maui could see 5 to 10 inches, with isolated totals of 20. Molokai, Lanai and Oahu could see up to 4 inches and Kauai up to 2. Peak storm surge of 1 to 3 feet above ground is possible on Hawaii Island at high tide.Nor'easter: The Mount Holly forecast office reports persistent northeast winds through at least Friday, sustained 25 to 35 miles per hour with gusts to 50 on the New Jersey and Delaware Atlantic coasts, inland gusts to 35, gale-force winds across all coastal waters, and seas of 8 to 15 feet. A coastal flood advisory runs through tonight and a wind advisory through 6 p.m. Friday. The storm coincides with the full moon this weekend, which raises tide levels through successive cycles.Ohio: The state of emergency signed September 22 covers Athens, Clermont, Gallia, Greene, Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Meigs, Mercer, Montgomery, Morgan, Muskingum, Perry, Pickaway, Pike, Preble, Ross, Van Wert and Vinton counties. The proclamation directs state departments to provide services, equipment, supplies and personnel for cleanup.Wildfire posture: Preparedness Level 2 with 87 incidents, 30 uncontained large fires, 1,824,164 acres and 8,523 personnel, a drop of 1,178, per the Wednesday situation report. Initial attack was light, with 93 fires, one new large incident and six complex teams committed. The Northwest dropped to Preparedness Level 2.Acreage revision: Year-to-date acres fell from 8,554,955 to 8,096,338 in one reporting cycle, moving the season from 146 to 137 percent of the ten-year average. The change is a mapping and reporting adjustment, concentrated in Northwest Bureau of Land Management acres, not a correction to any single fire.Northwest: Thirteen uncontained large fires and 4,290 personnel, down 366, with no new fires. Wednesday's report lists only area, road and trail closures on Three Queens, without the evacuations carried Monday and Tuesday. Sisi near Stehekin added 85 acres at 15 percent contained, with residences and energy infrastructure threatened.California: Northern California released 701 people in a day. Floriston near Truckee reached 96 percent contained, and Chileno in Marin County 85 percent. Dome in Yosemite National Park grew 263 acres to 3,683, holds at 15 percent contained, and carries 840 personnel and $8.4 million in costs.Southwest: Deep tropical moisture continues over eastern Arizona, New Mexico and southern Colorado with widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms. Predictive Services expects flooding near and east of the New Mexico central mountains today.Fire weather: Above-normal temperatures continue from the southern Plains to the lower Mississippi Valley, less extreme than recent weeks, with humidity near 30 percent in northeast Texas. A weak cold front brings scattered showers and thunderstorms to the northern Plains.Federal assistance: SBA physical damage deadlines for the September 1 public assistance declarations close November 1 in Colorado and South Dakota and November 2 in Missouri and Texas. Economic injury applications stay open to June 1, 2027.Cyber: No Known Exploited Vulnerabilities additions were located after Monday's Zyxel GS1900 switch entry, CVE-2026-7273.

Guest: Dr. Stephen Nesbitt Five years ago, Dr. Steve Nesbitt joined us to unpack the fundamentals of radar meteorology. Since then, atmospheric science has undergone a massive evolution moving from how we capture severe weather to how we decode it using artificial intelligence and cloud computing. As a UIUC Professor, incoming Associate Dean, and newly named AMS Fellow, Steve has spent his career studying Earth's most explosive storms. Today, he's leading a new frontier in meteorology, building open-source tools like Radar DataTree to turn decades of legacy radar files into AI-ready intelligence. We're sitting down with Steve to catch up on what's changed since his last visit, how AI is reshaping weather science, and the physics behind the Midwest's wild tornado season.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Background01:05 How Dr. Nesbitt Became a Weather Geek03:59 AI's Impact on Meteorology and Weather Resilience06:57 Recent Tornado Trends in Illinois and the Midwest09:58 Break 109:59 Remote Sensing Technologies in Severe Weather Study15:35 Introduction to Radar Data Tree and Its Applications20:53 Stakeholder Engagement: Insurance and Water Resources22:08 Current Research Projects and Urban Resilience26:17 Break 226:17 Future Advances in Satellite and Radar Technology29:18 Climate Change and Severe Weather Patterns32:57 The Evolving Role of Academics in Public Engagement35:51 Resources and Final ThoughtsResourcesAtmosScale.ai - https://atmoscale.aiEd Zipser - Google Scholar - https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,11&qsp=5&q=edward+zipser&qst=ibRelampago Project - https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/102/8/BAMS-D-20-0029.1.xmlRadar Data Tree - https://atmoscale.github.io/radar-datatree/index.htmlNASA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission - https://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov Guest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/steve-nesbitt-b8a06a54See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brian shares a comically frustrating weekend story — a single leaf clogging his garage drain and flooding his basement despite recent drainage work — and draws out the spiritual lesson that we're never as in control as we think, and the small "leaves" in our lives can throw everything off course. He pushes back on President Trump barring CNN, MS Now, and Politico reporters from the White House, arguing the move threatens press freedom regardless of one's opinion of those outlets. Brian shares Kathy Keller's reflections on how her late husband Tim Keller conducted funerals by pointing people to Jesus rather than eulogizing the deceased, and discusses a Christianity Today roundtable on rethinking retirement not as maximum leisure but as a continued season of Christian purpose and "becoming." He shares a study finding that group discussion, not solo reflection, is what actually helps people spot fake news — tying it to the power of Christian community and discipleship — and closes with Tim Challies's case for the underrated "ministry of presence," simply showing up faithfully to church.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Dr. Samantha MontanoWhen a disaster strikes, most of us focus on what we can see: the storm, the wildfire, the flood, or the earthquake. But what if the real story begins long before the event—and continues long after the headlines fade? Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Samantha Montano, a disaster researcher, author, and one of the leading voices helping the public better understand how disasters actually work. Through her work in "Disasterology," she examines the systems, decisions, and vulnerabilities that can turn natural hazards into human disasters—and what we can do to build more resilient communities. We'll talk about some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding disasters, why recovery is often the most overlooked phase of the disaster cycle, and how individuals, communities, and leaders can better prepare for the challenges that come before, during, and after a crisis.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Disasterology and Dr. Montano01:05 How Disasterology Became a Field02:07 The Human Side of Disasters03:36 Disaster Research and Human Responsibility05:08 The Role of Community and Leadership07:10 Impact of Physical and Social Vulnerability09:16 Training and Roles of Emergency Managers11:50 Public Misconceptions and Personal Responsibility13:51 Communication Strategies During Disasters14:29 Break 114:30 Recovery Challenges and Success Factors18:49 Community Leadership in Recovery22:24 Social Media and Disaster Communication26:19 The Future of Disaster Communication28:51 Break 228:51 Increasing Costs of Disasters and Communication36:16 Building Resilient Communities39:01 The Future of Disaster Management41:03 Optimism and the Next Generation of Emergency ManagersResourcesBook - Disasterology: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Climate CrisisDr. Samantha Montano - Website - https://disaster-ology.comFEMA - Federal Emergency Management Agency - https://www.fema.govGuest linksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/samlmontano/Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/samlmontano.bsky.socialSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of Weather Geeks, we're joined by storm chaser and filmmaker Mike Olbinski. Based in the Desert Southwest, Mike has spent years documenting everything from towering monsoon thunderstorms and dramatic haboobs to lightning-filled skies across the Great Plains, creating breathtaking imagery that has inspired weather enthusiasts around the world. We'll talk about what makes chasing storms in Arizona so unique, some of the unforgettable moments he's experienced on the road, and how the art of storm storytelling has evolved alongside advances in cameras, social media, and live streaming.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Mike Olbinski and his work13:38 Break 113:39 How technology has changed storm chasing24:38 Break 224:40 Advances in weather models and forecasting26:53 Mobile connectivity and Starlink for storm chasing28:22 Apps and tools for real-time weather data28:45 Use of drones in storm photography29:45 Carving out a niche in storm photography30:22 Advice for aspiring storm chasers and photographers32:34 Platforms to follow Mike Olbinski33:24 Closing remarks and upcoming projectsResourcesStorm Photo Contests - https://stormphotocontest.com/Stormchaser Atlas App - https://stormchaseratlas.com/Weatherfront App - https://weatherfront.com/ Guest linksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikeolbinski/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/mikeolbinskiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Survivors of the floods in Nepal share their experiences of escape from the torrent of water that swept through valleys in the Himalayas, killing at least 1.300 people. “For me that river valley was where I built my dreams,” Gaurav, who owned a café tells us. “Within a few minutes we lost everything, everything was swept away.” Gaurav is joined in conversation by his friend Sakil, who lost his family home in the floods. Extraordinary pictures of the first people to be rescued after nine days have been shared with the world. They were trapped in a hydro-electric power station tunnel with many others. But thousands, including foreign nationals from India, the UK, Australia and the US, are still missing. We bring together two families, hoping their loved ones will be found.
