"Puedo decir sin dramatizar en absoluto: si deciden quedarse en una de esas zonas de evacuación, van a morir". La alcaldesa de Tampa, Jane Castor, hizo este dramático llamado a los habitantes de la ciudad de la costa oeste de Florida en la que se espera que impacte el peligroso huracán Milton en la noche del miércoles o la madrugada del jueves. Según los pronósticos del Centro Nacional de Huracanes de EE.UU. (NHC, por sus siglas en inglés), Milton tocará tierra como un huracán “potencialmente mortal” por las tormentas, fuertes vientos e inundaciones que generará. Según el último boletín del NHC de este martes, el huracán volvió a alcanzar la categoría 5 con vientos sostenidos de 270 km/h, luego de que se había debilitado ligeramente en la madrugada. Mantenía la trayectoria que debe llevarlo a tocar tierra en o los alrededores de Tampa. “Lo que podemos esperar es que la tormenta vaya un poco hacia el sur”, dijo Castor en una rueda de prensa este martes. “Si una marejada ciclónica entra en la bahía de Tampa, no tiene adónde ir. Llegará a nuestros vecindarios”, advirtió la alcaldesa.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-ebenezer-rd-emisora-cristiana--3279340/support.

The man, who has not been identified, allegedly entered the museum in the middle of the night and stole the Porsche, which was worth over $1 million. He then took the car to a local DMV and registered it in his own name. The man's scheme was eventually discovered when the museum reported the Porsche stolen. The DMV was able to track down the man and arrest him. He is now facing charges of grand theft auto and fraud. Wendy's Manager Makes Fake Employee to Collect Money In another strange story from Florida, a Wendy's manager was arrested after she created a fake employee and used them to collect money from customers. The manager, who has also not been identified, allegedly created a fake employee profile on the Wendy's website. She then used this profile to process orders and collect money from customers. The manager's scheme was eventually discovered when a customer noticed that the fake employee was not on the Wendy's payroll. The customer reported the manager to the police, who arrested her. She is now facing charges of fraud and identity theft. Tampa Mayor Finds 70 Million Dollars Worth of Cocaine While Fishing In a more positive story from Florida, the mayor of Tampa found 70 million dollars worth of cocaine while fishing. The mayor, Jane Castor, was fishing with her husband off the coast of Tampa when they spotted a suspicious package floating in the water. They brought the package in and found that it was filled with cocaine. The mayor contacted the police, who seized the cocaine. The cocaine is now being investigated by the DEA. The mayor has said that she is glad that she was able to help stop the distribution of illegal drugs. These are just a few of the strange and unusual stories that have come out of Florida in recent weeks. It seems that there is no shortage of bizarre news stories from the Sunshine State. Florida Scientist Tests Cocaine on Shark In a bizarre experiment, a Florida scientist injected a shark with cocaine to see how it would affect the animal's behavior. The scientist, who has not been identified, said that he was curious to see if the cocaine would make the shark more aggressive. The experiment did not go as planned. The shark became extremely agitated and started to attack the scientist. The scientist was able to escape unharmed, but the shark was euthanized. The experiment has sparked outrage from animal rights activists, who say that it was cruel and unnecessary. The scientist has defended his experiment, saying that it was important to understand the effects of cocaine on animals. Ex-NFL Player Sells Fake Pokémon Cards An ex-NFL player has been arrested for selling fake Pokémon cards. The player, who has not been identified, is accused of selling the cards to unsuspecting collectors for thousands of dollars. The player allegedly bought the fake cards from China and then resold them on eBay and other online marketplaces. The cards were so convincing that even experts had a hard time telling them apart from real cards. The player has been charged with fraud and is facing up to 20 years in prison. He has also been banned from the NFL for life. 74-Year-Old Man Beats 87-Year-Old Man to Death A 74-year-old man has been arrested for beating an 87-year-old man to death. The incident happened in a nursing home in Florida. The 74-year-old man, who has not been identified, allegedly got into an argument with the 87-year-old man. The argument escalated and the 74-year-old man started punching and kicking the 87-year-old man. The 87-year-old man died from his injuries. The 74-year-old man has been charged with murder and is facing life in prison. These are just a few of the strange and unusual stories that have come out of Florida in recent weeks. It seems that there is no shortage of bizarre news stories from the Sunshine State.

This week’s Sportshour focuses on Super Bowl LV between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The BBC’s Blaire Toedte is on the ground in Florida for us as the Bucs aim to make history by becoming the first team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Seven and a half thousand vaccinated health care workers have been gifted tickets for the game as a thank you for their work during the covid pandemic. RJ Gardner is an ICU nurse with Aya Healthcare and tells us about running a covid ward in New Jersey at the start of the pandemic and the pressures involved with his current role in Atlanta. He discusses losing a patient he got close to, being away from his family and his shock at being told he’d be going to the Super Bowl. Brad Johnson was Tampa Bay’s quarterback when they won their first and up to now only Super Bowl in in 2003. He tells us the Bucs were known as “the yuks” when he joined the team, such was their lowly reputation. Johnson also reflects on winning the Super Bowl and gives us his thoughts on Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. The Mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor tells us how she’s been confident from the outset that the Bucs would win the Super Bowl, discusses rumours the city could be renamed in Tom Brady’s honour and tells us about a bet she has on the game with the Mayor of Kansas City. John Biever will make history on Sunday as he becomes the only photographer to have worked at every Super Bowl. He recalls shooting his first, alongside his father, as a fifteen year old and how they worked together at the first thirty five Super Bowls before ill health and age forced his father to stop. He also talks about the importance of keeping his streak going and why he has a soft spot for the Kansas City Chiefs going into this game. We hear from Bucs assistant defensive line coach, Lori Locust. She made history when she joined the team as she became the first woman position coach in the NFL and is part of a diverse coaching staff at the organisation. Jay Ajayi also gives us his thoughts on diversity in the NFL. Ajayi won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. He was born in London and has Nigerian heritage. The NFL is the focus for Sporting Witness on this Super Bowl weekend as we bring you the story behind a landmark policy for diversity in sport. It's called the Rooney Rule and it was introduced by the NFL to require its teams to interview minority candidates for jobs as head coaches. And – we’re joined live by fans of the Bucs and the Chiefs. Photo: Tom Brad of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Getty Images)

Join us on Monday, April 27, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. for a very special interview with the retiring Chief of the Tampa Police Department. Jane Castor’s decisive leadership is evident in all aspects of her 31 year career. She was elected the first female president of a police academy class and 26 years later, she became the first woman to lead the Tampa Police Department.Chief Castor has redefined community policing in her hometown and driven down the crime rate with her innovative approach to fighting crime. Over the course of her career, Chief Jane Castor built a reputation for working side by side with residents, community leaders, business owners and neighboring law enforcement agencies to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in Tampa. Those community partnerships are the foundation of TPD’s dynamic crime reduction strategy, “Focus on Four.” Since its induction in 2003, the plan has reduced violent and property crime by 70%. Jane’s strong leadership style is balanced with her efforts to help Tampa’s most disadvantaged children.She recently opened the doors of a multi-million dollar gymnasium for the Police Athletic League. The new facility is now serving more than 300 at-risk children. The department also opened a brand new safe haven for children called the RICH House. It’s the second of its kind offering a safe environment for children to thrive and for parents to connect with social services. Chief Castor’s commitment to at-risk kids is exemplified in her new Young Adult Police Academy. It targets kids on the verge of becoming involved in crime. Join us as we say farewell to Chief Jane Castor and commend her for serving the City of Tampa and it's diverse communities with distinction.
