My Father’s Day isn’t complete until I plop down after lunch on Sunday to watch the final 18 holes of the US Open golf tournament. My wife and sons became quite familiar with my annual Father’s Day afternoon ritual.  I have to grind the final five hours of this golf tournament (on television, of course) until a winner is crowned. In the event of a tie, a two-hole playoff will be held immediately following the final round.  Prior to 2018, there was an 18-hole playoff conducted on Monday. The US Open is usually played on the toughest golf course which the professional golfers face all year.  The last ten US Open champions have posted an average winning total of just six under par. This year’s US Open returns to a windswept tract near the eastern tip of New York’s Long Island. Shinnecock Hills was founded in 1891 and is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States.  They were also one of the first American golf clubs to admit women members from its inception. This will be the fifth US Open conducted at Shinnecock Hills since 1986.  Ray Floyd won that one with a one under par total.  Corey Pavin won in 1995 (even par).  Retief Goosen took the 2004 event at Shinnecock Hills with a four under par score.  The most recent US Open held at this course was in 2018 and captured by Brooks Koepka with a one over par score. In other words, this fascinating US seaside links has a long history of playing tough for professional golfers. Watch for these holes to cause the golfers significant trouble this week Hole #7 (Rodan) – Listed at 185 yards, the par-3 7th hole at Shinnecock is a devilish short hole. The winds play havoc with shot selection off the tee.  The green features a unique rodan design.  That means that the green slopes away from the front portion and toward the back left side.  A bad tee shot is quite likely to result in a bogey or worse here. Hole #9 (Ben Nevis) – Ben Nevis is the name of the highest peak (4,400′) in Scotland.  The final par-4 on Shinnecock’s opening nine holes involves golfers playing their second shot uphill by some 20 yards against a prevailing wind into an elevated green.  Once on the putting surface, some players will face a downhill putt with the wind now pushing their golf ball even faster to make par an exceptional score. Hole #11 (Hill Head) – You wouldn’t think that a short 150 yard par-3 hole would cause many of the top golfers in the world to get jittery standing on the tee box. Missing this elevated green (which looks like inverted bowl from the tee) quickly brings a bogey or double bogey into play.  There are four deep sand traps surrounding the 11th hole.  Add a gusty wind on the tee, and this short par-3 can wreck someone’s round in a hurry. Hole #14 (Thom’s Elbow) – This difficult par-4 plays a lengthy 520 yards and moves uphill on your second shot into the green.  Don’t forget the ever-changing 15-25 mph winds which will affect both your tee shot and approach into the green. The hole was named for Shinnecock’s 55-year Scottish head golf pro named Charlie Thom.  Two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw once asked Mr. Thom why the 14th hole was named after him. Thom replied, “Look at my elbow. It’s crooked.  They named the 14th hole after me, because it’s crooked like my elbow. It goes back up the hill.” Which golfers are “hot” coming into the US Open? Let’s cover a few golfers who are playing well right now. Wyndham Clark – He won the US Open in 2023.  Clark then went into a lengthy slump but has returned to form recently with a win at the Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas. He also posted a third place finish at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio a few weeks ago along with an 11th place finish last week at the Canadian Open.  When you’re hot, you’re hot! Russell Henley – The quiet Henley won the Colonial in Fort Worth a month ago.  He followed it up with a 22nd place finish at the Memorial. Henley has a tendency to play well on difficult courses.  Shinnecock Hills will provide a great test of his skills this week. Matt Fitzpatrick – The winner of two events this spring on the PGA Tour, Fitzpatrick shot a closing 66 and 64 in the final two rounds of last week’s Canadian Open to finish in second place.  Did you remember that this English golfer won the 2022 US Open title?  His game is peaking at the right time this year for a possible second major championship win. Cameron Young – A product of nearby Scarborough, New York, Cameron Young is another two-time winner on this year’s PGA Tour. Young is going to have a boisterous crowd of New York area fans rooting for him all weekend. Now for a few top golfers who haven’t sizzled recently but may contend this week Scottie Scheffler – The world #1-ranked golfer has failed to score a victory since late January.  That doesn’t mean that he’s playing poorly, though.  Scheffler’s last five tournaments have produced two runner-up finishes, a third place, 12th place, and 14th.  Scottie Scheffler could complete his personal career “Grand Slam” with a win at this week’s US Open.  He’ll be ready. Jon Rahm – LIV Golf’s top player in 2026, Rahm won the 2021 US Open title on another tough layout at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Spain’s Jon Rahm, like Scottie Scheffler, has a way of pushing his way to the top of the leaderboard in major championships.  He broke an 18 month slump with two wins on the LIV Golf tour this spring. JJ Spaun – The defending US Open champion finished sixth and 12th in his two most recent golf tournaments.  Spaun’s focus and gritty style is reminiscent of another past US Open winner at Shinnecock Hills.  Corey Pavin captured the 1995 US Open on this same golf course with a memorable four wood second shot from the 18th fairway to seal the victory. Tommy Fleetwood – After finally breaking through in 2025 with a win at the Tour Championship, Fleetwood’s sights are now set on winning his first major golf title.  The Englishman is quite familiar with seaside links after beginning his professional golf career on the European circuit.  Fleetwood is overdue for his first major championship triumph. Don’t overlook these former US Open winners this week! Rory McIlroy – Rory’s first major title was a US Open.  He won the 2011 US Open at Congressional near Washington, DC by a whopping eight shots.  The deep rough at Shinnecock Hills will punish Rory if his recent issues with errant drives continue. Bryson DeChambeau – Inconsistency has been the only consistent portion of Bryson DeChambeau’s game this season. The two-time US Open champion (2020 and 2024) missed the cut at both The Masters and PGA Championship this year.  However, he won twice in March on the LIV Golf Tour. DeChambeau, like McIlroy, must hit more fairways off the tee this week at Shinnecock Hills to get into contention. Justin Rose – The 45 year old Rose is playing in his 100th consecutive major golf tournament this week.  That’s a record bested only by Jack Nicklaus.  The Golden Bear played in an incredible 146 straight appearances in golf’s majors. Justin Rose is the seventh ranked golfer in the world. He won the 2013 US Open at Merion Golf Club near Pittsburgh.  His maturity in pressure situations could give him a chance this week. Brooks Koepka – He won the 2018 US Open on this same golf course eight years ago.  Koepka has played well at times this year but hasn’t registered a win in 2026.  His five major championship wins have usually been on difficult golf courses. He knows Shinnecock Hills well.  If he makes the weekend cut, Brooks Koepka might be a factor on Sunday afternoon.

Right now we're traveling back from this week's successful Eastern Regional Conference. So this week, as we head into summer, we're sharing an episode on how to take advantage of all the services that the PLRB Weather/CATs department has to offer.   A supervisor leads a team of very needy CAT adjusters! Over the course of the year, the supervisor fields many questions as it comes up in their claims. Was there hail on X date? Was there lightning in the area? This hurricane is coming soon, where can I get news about it? Winter weather caused a slip and fall!! Where can I find information on wildfire perimeters and California evacuations? For help herding all these cats, we'll head to PLRB.org.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode introduces a scenario where a supervisor fields constant weather-related questions from cat adjusters, highlighting the need for a centralized, reliable source for hail, lightning, hurricanes, wildfires, and more. [ 02:15 ] - The team previews multiple scenarios—winter storms, hail, lightning, power outages, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires—showing the breadth of searchable weather data available to support claim investigations. [ 03:16 ] - Using a winter slip-and-fall in Iowa City, Iowa, the report pulls verified storm data from the National Weather Service, including freezing rain reports and hourly observations to validate conditions on the date of loss. [ 07:42 ] - For hail damage in Illinois, radar-derived data and verified hail reports allow adjusters to map proximity, estimated hail size, and associated severe thunderstorm warnings tied to a specific date and address. [ 09:53 ] - Lightning reports provide daily probability percentages and satellite detection data, helping assess commercial equipment claims while noting limits in resolution and cloud-to-cloud versus cloud-to-ground distinctions. [ 12:25 ] - Power outage searches archive data every ten minutes via PowerOutage.us, identifying outage timing, affected customers, and likely storm causes—critical for business interruption investigations. [ 14:09 ] - A tornado case study of the Mayfield event demonstrates wind reports, damage points, and EF-scale path polygons, enabling precise analysis of storm track and intensity relative to a property. [ 17:31 ] - Wildfire tools include historical perimeters like the Garnett Fire, evacuation zones, thermal hotspots, smoke analysis from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data, and hurricane spaghetti models—underscoring a single portal for comprehensive weather intelligence. [ 17:49 ] - Dylan summarized upcoming PLRB Weather/CATs developments.

On March 27, 2022, Ronnie and Beverly Barker were on a road trip they had made a dozen times before — from Oregon, heading south through Nevada toward Tucson, Arizona to meet friends. Their GPS routed them off the highway onto a remote county road. Their RV became stuck in gravel and sand at over 7,700 feet elevation in one of the most remote corners of Nevada, and then their escape vehicle got stuck too. No cell signal. No supplies. No one knew where they were — and searchers were looking 170 miles away. What followed was nine days of survival, a desperate public search campaign, and a race against time that not everyone would survive. This is not just a story about what went wrong. It is about what love looks like when there is nothing left. 00:00 Intro 00:28 A Wrong Turn Begins 01:45 Meet Ronnie and Beverly 04:25 The GPS Shortcut 07:03 RV Stuck in the Mountains 08:16 Kia Escape Goes Wrong 10:03 Surviving in the Kia 13:08 Ronnie Declines 15:10 Family Search and Red Tape 19:07 Ronnie's Final Hours 22:02 Found at Last 24:23 Aftermath and Recovery 26:31 Policy Change and Lessons 29:30 Final Reflections and Outro Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES Beverly Barker, exclusive on-camera interview.

Weather with EnthusiasmZmanim, Chicago Storm Physics, and What the Sky Means for Your Day Show NotesToday's episode explores the intersection of halachic prayer times, atmospheric science, and severe weather across Chicago, Baltimore, Lakewood, Brooklyn, and St. Louis. We break down today's Zmanim for June 8, 2026, including dawn, sunrise, latest Shema, chatzo, sunset, and nightfall for each city, showing how geography and season shift the day. The weather discussion focuses on a very active setup in Chicago, where a stationary front, high theta-e, steep lapse rates, high precipitable water, CAPE, weak shear, and ambient vorticity create a serious flash-flood and wet microburst risk. The episode also explains key National Weather Service terms in plain English, including hydro concern, theta-e gradient, lapse rates, P-WAT, shear, vorticity, and shortwave troughs. A historical segment revisits the devastating Beecher, Michigan F5 tornado of June 8, 1953, and explains how that tragedy helped change U.S. tornado warning policy, expand radar use, and build the modern spotter network. The episode closes with practical indoor ideas for Chicago families on a stormy day, including the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, and the Field Museum. ## Hashtags#WeatherWithEnthusiasm #Zmanim #ChicagoWeather #SevereWeather #StormPhysics #FlashFlooding #Meteorology #NationalWeatherService #Halacha #TornadoHistory #ChicagoFamilyActivities #WeatherBriefing [1]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

Flagler County is on the verge of becoming the second Florida county certified as Tsunami Ready by the National Weather Service. While virtually the whole state is considered Storm Ready, officials say there's a non-zero chance that an earthquake in places as far away as the Canary Islands could send a wall of water toward Florida. In addition to awareness, the tsunami-ready designation has other advantages, including the potential to lower flood insurance rates. We speak with Flagler County's emergency management director, Jonathan Lord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 1 - Host Neville James speaks with National Weather Service meteorologist Manuel Ramos about improving weather conditions, lingering Saharan dust, and marine advisories across the Virgin Islands. Shanell P. Spencer, WAPA's Director of Corporate Communications, joins the program to explain recent power outages, ongoing repairs, and plans to strengthen the territory's energy infrastructure.

Part 1 - Host Neville James speaks with National Weather Service meteorologist Emanuel Rodriguez about cloudy conditions, passing showers, heat risks, and the return of Saharan dust across the Virgin Islands. Aviation professionals Gleason Thompson Sr. and Makeda Dawson join Neville James to discuss the upcoming Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP) Ace Academy youth program and opportunities for young people in aviation careers.

The Storm That Crossed Three States: The Tri-State Tornado of 1925On March 18, 1925, a tornado touched down near Ellington, Missouri and spent the next three and a half hours carving a 219-mile path of destruction through southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwestern Indiana. It remains the deadliest single tornado in recorded American history.IN THIS EPISODE:This episode tells the full story of the Tri-State Tornado — from the quiet Tuesday afternoon when it appeared without warning, through the obliteration of Murphysboro, De Soto, Gorham, West Frankfort, and dozens of other communities, to the haunting aftermath that changed how America thinks about weather preparedness. Personal stories, eyewitness accounts, and the legacy this storm left behind.KEY FACTS:- Date: March 18, 1925- Path: Ellington, Missouri → southern Illinois → southwestern Indiana- Path length: 219 miles — longest continuous tornado track ever recorded- Duration: approximately 3.5 hours on the ground- Width: up to 1 mile across- Speed: up to 62 miles per hour- Estimated intensity: EF5 (winds exceeding 200 mph)- Fatalities: 695 — the most deaths from a single tornado in U.S. history- Injuries: 2,027- Homes destroyed: 15,000- Counties impacted: 13 across three states- Deaths in Murphysboro, IL alone: 234 — a record for any single community from a tornado- Deaths at De Soto, IL school: 33 — a record for any U.S. school tornado- Gorham, IL: 100% of structures destroyed- Towns of Parrish, IL and Griffin, IN essentially wiped from the mapMETEOROLOGICAL DETAILS:The tornado began as a classic supercell in Missouri and transitioned to a high-precipitation mode in Illinois and Indiana. Witnesses described a massive wedge tornado — rain-wrapped and so low and wide that many did not recognize it as a tornado until it was upon them. In 1925, there was no tornado warning system, no weather radar, and no public sirens. The storm's death toll was magnified by the complete absence of any advance warning.LEGACY:The Tri-State Tornado directly contributed to growing pressure on meteorologists and government officials to develop better storm detection and public warning infrastructure. It took decades and many more tragedies before the National Weather Service tornado warning network came into being — but the memory of March 18, 1925 drove that work forward.SOURCES FOR FURTHER READING:- National Weather Service Paducah — 1925 Tornado: https://www.weather.gov/pah/1925Tornado- E-Journal of Severe Storms Meteorology — The 1925 Tri-State Tornado Damage Path: https://ejssm.com/ojs/index.php/site/article/view/47- Illinois State Museum — The Tri-State Tornado: Tragedy and Resilience: https://www.emuseum.org/exhibitions/the-tri-state-tornado-tragedy-and-resilience- NWS Meteorological Analysis (PDF): https://www.weather.gov/media/pah/1925_Tornado/Maddox_etal_TriStateMeteor.pdfHASHTAGS:#weather #tornado #history #TriStateTornado #1925 #extremeweather #weatherhistory #Illinois #Missouri #Indiana #WeatherWithEnthusiasm #KolSimchaProductionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

Part 1 - Host Neville James gets an update from National Weather Service meteorologist Manuel Ramos on hazardous Saharan dust affecting the territory. Also on the program, host Neville James talks with WAPA Communications Director Shanell Spencer on the district-wide power outage impacting St. Thomas and St. John. Spencer outlines the details of infrastructure failures that have caused widespread outages and delayed restoration efforts. The discussion highlights ongoing energy system challenges, hurricane season preparedness, and the broader impact of infrastructure instability across the territory.

June 1 marks the start of hurricane season, and the National Weather Service is forecasting up to 13 tropical cyclones across the central Pacific. Today, our panel will discuss what we can do now to best prepare for the possible hurricanes ahead.

Part 1 - Host Neville James is joined by VITEMA Director Daryl Jaschen, who outlines hurricane season preparedness, including shelter readiness across the islands, emergency operations planning, and the importance of residents preparing homes, supplies, and insurance ahead of storms. They also speak with Maria from the National Weather Service, who provides an update on current conditions, highlighting Sahara dust, breezy winds, and a relatively quiet start to hurricane season. The discussion emphasizes proactive planning, communication tools like Alert VI, and the need for residents to remain self-sufficient and vigilant throughout the June through November hurricane season.

Hurricane season begins next week, on June 1st. National Weather Service forecasters predict the Mid-Atlantic region will see ‘lower than average' tropical storm activity this year. Despite rainy conditions over the holiday weekend – and much of the past week – much of Pennsylvania continues to be under drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.   Last week, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would give Pennsylvania nearly $40 million to address PFAS contamination in drinking water, the agency also said it would roll back PFAS regulations.  A recent study by the National Council on Aging and the Urban Institute finds many seniors are overlooking benefits that they might be eligible for.  A Lancaster County charity that distributes tens of thousands of meals to food banks is facing more than $14 million of debt - yet is continuing with plans to expand nationally.Pennsylvania's zoning and permitting processes are named as barriers to homebuilding in the state, according to a recent survey.

When three-year-old Brittany Eichelberger slipped out of her family's trailer in Elkins, West Virginia on Christmas Eve 1990, no one knew she was gone. She was found hours later, clinically dead in the snow — frozen stiff, her heart stopped, her body nearly 25 degrees below normal temperature. A neighbor, a determined paramedic, and a rural hospital team that refused to quit launched one of the most extraordinary resuscitation efforts ever documented in emergency medicine. The cold that stopped her heart may also be the reason her brain survived. This is a story about what happens when everyone around you decides it isn't over yet.

In the St. Louis Morning Brief, Marc and Kim break down new findings from the National Weather Service showing last year's devastating May 16 tornado outbreak actually involved two separate EF3 tornadoes, including one that became the widest tornado in recorded regional history at 1.8 miles wide. The conversation quickly shifts to frustration over the painfully slow recovery process in St. Louis, with the hosts highlighting statistics showing only a fraction of demolition requests, repair permits, and aid applications have been completed nearly a year later. Marc compares the stalled rebuilding effort to California wildfire recovery delays while criticizing excessive government bureaucracy and questioning whether city leaders are intentionally preventing residents from cashing out insurance claims and leaving struggling neighborhoods. The segment also examines Missouri's newly passed economic development legislation designed to incentivize redevelopment of vacant downtown properties, including long-troubled buildings like the former AT&T tower, though Marc argues rising crime and recent violence on Washington Avenue continue undermining confidence in downtown St. Louis investment and redevelopment efforts.

With the unique winter and spring weather events creating a mixed snowpack and melt season, this episode talks with the California Nevada River Forecast Center to learn details about the expected river flows this spring and summer in their region, and to look at what types of precipitation might load up for the summer and fall. This is the 2nd episode in a series of five episodes talking with five River Forecast Centers across the US. The River Forecast Centers are part of the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; they track all precipitation in each river basin, creating flow forecasts based on a variety of parameters. In this time of shifty weather and climate rowdiness, these experts are able to explain how the weather of the past fall and winter will impact river flows today and into the near future.    California Nevada River Forecast Center River Forecast Centers NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS National Weather Service   SPONSORSPoudre River Fund NRS NRS PFD for Whale Foundation Whale Foundation   PREVIOUS EPISODES ON RIVER FLOW FORECAST Columbia Basin Snowpack & River Flow 2026 - Apple Podcasts Columbia Basin Snowpack & River Flow 2026 - Spotify2024 Snowpack & River Flow - Apple Podcasts 2024 Snowpack & River Flow - Spotify 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow -  Apple Podcasts 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow - SpotifyAtmospheric Rivers 101 - Apple Podcasts Atmospheric Rivers 101 - Spotify THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! A wildfire can look sudden on the evening news, but the real story often starts days or decades earlier. We sit down with CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti to talk about his book Torch and what he learned reporting from evacuation zones, burned communities, and alongside first responders during some of the worst fires in the American West. The Palisades Fire and the destruction tied to January 7, 2025 become a case study in how climate-driven extremes collide with policy failures and everyday human decisions.We dig into the uncomfortable mechanics behind catastrophe: the role of controlled burns and fuel buildup, how “contained” fires can smolder underground, and why National Weather Service warnings about historic Santa Ana winds should trigger urgent, visible action. We also unpack leadership and emergency management questions that still hang over Los Angeles: unclear handoffs of authority, delayed coordination, and the kind of normalcy bias that makes even “bright red” forecasts feel optional.Then we get personal about what these failures cost. Jonathan shares what it looked like on the ground as evacuation routes jammed, vulnerable residents struggled to move, and help arrived too late in too many places. He also tells the unforgettable story of turning back into the danger to rescue three trapped dogs, a moment that reframes “service” as a simple decision to say yes when it matters.If you care about California wildfires, disaster preparedness, public records transparency, and accountability in government, this conversation is for you.

A weather forecast can shape your whole day — from what to wear and when to exercise, to whether to make dinner plans for the patio. And when severe weather is on the horizon, those forecasts and warnings can save lives. So how do meteorologists get it right? And why do forecasts sometimes miss the mark?MPR News host Angela Davis sits down with MPR News meteorologist Mandy Thalhuber to talk about what goes into accurate forecasting, the impact of cuts to the National Weather Service and what makes the work so rewarding.Guest: Mandy Thalhuber is a meteorologist at MPR News, where her forecasts and weather insights can be heard on the radio and found online at Updraft. Before joining MPR News in 2024, she worked at Weatherology, providing local weather forecasts for radio stations across the country.

Dicamba is available again for over-the-top use in XtendFlex cotton, but the path back comes with a label that demands planning, discipline, and proof that we can keep applications on target. We sit down with weed scientists Dr. Pete Dotray (Texas Tech) and Dr. Stanley Culpepper (University of Georgia) to translate what changed for 2026 and 2027 and what those changes mean when you are trying to cover acres on real timelines.We walk through the biggest shifts growers and applicators will feel immediately: a two-season registration window, required training, heavier documentation, updated droplet language, and tighter stewardship expectations around drift and volatility. Then we slow down and unpack the new temperature-based approach using National Weather Service forecasts, including how the 84°F, 85–94°F, and 95°F thresholds can  limit acres under certain conditions, and potentially push dicamba applications earlier in the season. We also cover the practical pieces that decide whether a spray stays clean: VRAs and DRAs at the correct rates, boom height, wind speed, inversions, time-of-day rules, rainfall and runoff language, and how downwind buffers can be managed with mitigation credits and defined managed areas.The conversation also turns to paraquat, why the product matters across agriculture, and why uncertainty in supply or training infrastructure would ripple through conservation tillage and harvest aid programs. The bigger takeaway is simple: resistance is not the only threat to the herbicide toolbox anymore. Lawsuits, regulation pressure, and public narratives are shaping what stays available, and stewardship is now part of keeping tools on the farm.
