ShownotesThe primary focus of today's discussion revolves around the significant impacts of Hurricane Melissa as it navigates between the central Bahamas and Bermuda, specifically highlighting the consequential marine hazards and instances of minor coastal flooding along the Mid Atlantic and Northeast coastlines. We elucidate the various advisories issued by the National Weather Service, which indicate a marginal risk of severe weather, inclusive of damaging winds and the potential for isolated tornadoes. Additionally, we examine the coastal flood advisories that have been enacted across multiple states, notably affecting areas from Delaware to New York City, where localized road closures are anticipated during high tide. Furthermore, we provide insights into the expected wind and rain events in Maine, alongside the heightened water levels observed along the Chesapeake Bay and Tidal Potomac shorelines. Our aim is to keep our audience informed and prepared as we navigate these weather phenomena.Takeaways:* The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor Hurricane Melissa as it approaches the northeastern coast.* Coastal flooding and marine hazards are expected along parts of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast today.* Advisories from the National Weather Service indicate high tides may cause localized road closures.* Gusty winds and rain are anticipated in Maine as a strong low-pressure system moves in.* Coastal flood warnings remain in effect for various regions, including parts of Maryland and New York City.* Virginia continues to experience tidal flooding, particularly in the Chesapeake Bay area.Sources[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php][SPC Day 1 | https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][NWS Baltimore/Washington coastal flooding | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lwx&wwa=coastal+flood+advisory][USGS Latest Earthquakes | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][NWS — New Castle DE advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php?inputstring=19730][NWS Gray AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=CI&glossary=1&highlight=off&issuedby=GYX&product=AFD&site=GYX&version=1][NWS Gray main page (hazards) | https://www.weather.gov/gyx/][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Warning (Anne Arundel) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MDZ014&local_place1=Severn+MD&product1=Coastal+Flood+Advisory&warncounty=MDC003&warnzone=MDZ014][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Warning (Calvert) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MDZ018&lat=38.72&local_place1=2+Miles+WNW+North+Beach+MD&lon=-76.5658&product1=Coastal+Flood+Warning&warncounty=MDC009&warnzone=MDZ018][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Advisory summary | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lwx&wwa=coastal+flood+advisory][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][NWS New York — Coastal Flood Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NJZ006&local_place1=Jersey+City+NJ&product1=Heat+Advisory&warncounty=NJC017&warnzone=NJZ006][NYCEM Weather Alert (issued ~18 hours ago) | https://www.nyc.gov/site/em/about/press-releases/202510229_pr-NYCEM-Urges-NYers-to-prepare-For-Heavy-Rain.page][NWS New York — Coastal Flood Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NYZ212&lat=40.8031&local_place1=Harlem+NY&lon=-73.93&product1=Coastal+Flood+Statement&warncounty=NYC061&warnzone=NYZ072][NWS MHX Marine | https://www.weather.gov/mhx/marine][NWS Marine Forecast FZUS52 KMHX | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS52.KMHX.html][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][SPC Day 1 Outlook | https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Warning (St. Mary's) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MDZ017&lat=38.1522&local_place1=Dameron+MD&lon=-76.3697&product1=Coastal+Flood+Warning&warncounty=MDC037&warnzone=MDZ017][NWS LWX — advisory summary | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lwx&wwa=coastal+flood+advisory] This is a public episode.

The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the significant impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 storm and is progressing northeastward towards the Bahamas. We meticulously delineate the potential hazards arising from this weather event, notably the elevated risk of rip currents and rough surf along the southeastern coast of the United States, particularly Florida. Additionally, the episode elaborates on various weather alerts, including a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, as well as a potential severe weather risk in eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia. We also address the imminent arrival of a moderate atmospheric river in the Pacific Northwest, which is expected to bring substantial rainfall. Furthermore, we discuss FEMA's recent allocation of over $1 billion in federal funding to enhance safety measures in the host cities for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.Hurricane Melissa has emerged as a formidable force, having made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, with its trajectory now directing it towards the Bahamas. Although the United States currently has no active watches, the ramifications of Hurricane Melissa are being felt along the southeastern coast, particularly in Florida, where the risk of rip currents and rough surf is markedly elevated. The National Weather Service has issued warnings to coastal residents and beachgoers to exercise caution due to these dangerous conditions, emphasizing the importance of heeding safety advisories during such severe weather events.In addition to the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Weather Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, extending into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This is attributed to the influx of rain that is expected to saturate these regions today. Concurrently, the Storm Prediction Center has indicated a marginal severe weather risk for eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia, suggesting the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms later in the evening. The confluence of these weather patterns necessitates vigilant monitoring and preparedness among local residents.Furthermore, looking towards the Pacific Northwest, a moderate atmospheric river is anticipated to commence its influence on Friday and Saturday, with the Weather Prediction Center flagging a marginal flood risk for Western Washington. This is in alignment with forecasts from the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes, which anticipates several days of precipitation associated with this atmospheric river event. As federal funding has also been allocated to support the infrastructure for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the coordination between emergency management partners and local authorities has never been more crucial. Maintaining situational awareness and readiness is imperative as we navigate through this dynamic weather landscape.Takeaways:* Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Cuba and poses risks for Florida's coast today, especially due to rip currents.* A marginal flash flood risk has been issued for the Southern and Central Appalachians today, necessitating caution for residents in these regions.* FEMA has announced over $1 billion in federal funding aimed at securing host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.* California is facing red flag warnings due to Santa Ana winds and low humidity, prompting pre-deployment of firefighting resources.* The Pacific Northwest will experience a moderate atmospheric river, leading to potential flooding in Western Washington later this week.* Several states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, are under marginal flood risks due to expected heavy rainfall in the upcoming days.Source[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][CW3E AR Outlook (Oct 28) | https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/28Oct2025_Outlook/28Oct2025_Outlook.pdf][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/print/txt/node/705701][NWS Los Angeles | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS San Diego | https://www.weather.gov/sgx/][Cal OES | https://news.caloes.ca.gov/governor-newsom-predeploys-firefighting-resources-southern-california-ahead-of-dangerous-fire-weather/][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Wilmington | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.2026&lon=-77.8815][NWS Topsail Beach hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NCZ106&lat=34.3696&local_place1=Topsail+Beach+NC&lon=-77.6288&product1=Beach+Hazards+Statement&warncounty=NCC141&warnzone=NCZ106][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Charleston | https://www.weather.gov/chs/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][NWS Wakefield Briefing | https://www.weather.gov/akq/brief][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Seattle AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=ci&glossary=1&issuedby=sew&product=afd&site=nws&version=1][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr] This is a public episode.

The salient point of today's discourse revolves around the dangerous heat currently gripping Southern California, accompanied by heat advisories in regions such as Los Angeles, Ventura, and San Diego. As we navigate through the weather phenomena affecting the United States, we observe that a robust cold front is advancing through southeastern Texas and coastal Louisiana, presenting a marginal risk of severe weather, including isolated strong storms. Concurrently, we note the presence of Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean, which, while not posing an immediate threat of landfall, continues to influence surf conditions along Florida's Atlantic coastline. Additionally, various frost advisories and marine hazards are issued in states such as Connecticut and New Jersey, underscoring the diverse and challenging weather conditions that prevail across the nation. As we conclude this morning's brief, we remain vigilant in monitoring these developments and will reconvene with further updates.To provide a comprehensive overview, the episode meticulously details various advisories and warnings across different states, from California's heat advisories to Louisiana's severe storm potential. The National Weather Service's alerts detail emerging freeze warnings in Colorado, as well as frost advisories in Connecticut, which may catch residents unprepared. Furthermore, beach hazards persist along the Atlantic coast, particularly in Florida, where rip currents pose a significant risk. The episode concludes with a reminder of the importance of preparedness and awareness in the face of rapidly changing weather conditions. As we navigate these tumultuous climatic challenges, the imperative to stay safe and informed resonates profoundly.Takeaways:* Southern California is currently under dangerous heat advisories, with temperatures soaring.* A strong cold front is expected to sweep through southeast Texas, potentially bringing severe weather.* Hurricane Melissa remains a powerful system in the Caribbean, influencing surf conditions in Florida.* Numerous frost advisories are in effect across various regions, including Connecticut and Colorado.* Marine hazards are prevalent along the New Jersey coastline due to strong winds and rough seas.* No significant updates were reported from other states, indicating a stable weather pattern.Sources[NWS LOX/SGX | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.06076&lon=-118.23510][SPC Day 1 |https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html] [NWS LCH | https://www.weather.gov/lch/][WPC ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero][NHC Melissa | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&2025102811][USGS event | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc74238701][NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard (Heat Advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.06076&lon=-118.23510][NWS San Diego (WWA summary) | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=sgx&wwa=all][NWS Pueblo (Freeze Warning) | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=bou&wwa=all]NWS Danbury (Frost Advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.394817&lon=-73.454011][NWS Middletown (Frost Advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.55&lon=-72.66][NWS Melbourne (Watches/Warnings page) | https://www.weather.gov/mlb/][FOX35 Orlando (current alerts summary citing NWS) | https://www.fox35orlando.com/weather-alerts][NWS Lake Charles (homepage hazards/marine) | https://www.weather.gov/lch/][NWS Lake Charles (AFD) | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?glossary=1&issuedby=LCH&product=AFD&site=NWS][Sources: [NWS Boston/Norton (homepage hazards) | https://www.weather.gov/box/][NWS Boston/Norton (Coastal Waters Forecast/Small CraftAdvisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=BOX&product=CWF&site=BOX]NWS Mount Holly (Marine/Gale/Advisories) | https://www.weather.gov/phi/marine][NWS Houston (briefing/forecast page) | https://www.weather.gov/hgx/https/www.nhc.noaa.gov/forecasts][SPC Day 1 Outlook | https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html] This is a public episode.

Part 1 - Neville James speaks with the National Weather Service in San Juan as the Caribbean is currently experiencing a tropical wave that could develop into a tropical storm or into Hurricane Melissa.

Let's start with the facts. Republicans currently control the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and the presidency. That means they have full authority to pass a budget and keep the government open. When one party holds all the power in Washington, that party also holds the responsibility to govern.This shutdown began because Republican leadership has refused to negotiate on Democratic proposals to protect and strengthen healthcare – proposals that would make sure families in Minnesota and across the country can afford the care they need. Democrats have been willing to compromise to keep the government open. But negotiations only work if both sides show up, and so far, only one side has walked away.The effects of this shutdown are being felt in every corner of Minnesota.Thousands of federal employees who work at the Minneapolis VA, or the IRS center in Bloomington, or the National Weather Service in Duluth are either furloughed or working without pay. That means workers are missing paychecks. Families are struggling to cover rent. People are having to choose between essentials like groceries and child care.Farmers who depend on the USDA for crop insurance payments and loans are seeing delays right when they need support the most. Small businesses waiting on federal contracts or loans can't move forward. Families relying on nutrition assistance or housing programs are anxious about whether help will arrive on time.These are not abstract numbers on a budget spreadsheet. These are real Minnesotans. They are our neighbors, friends, and public servants caught in the middle of a political standoff they didn't create.Republicans have the power to end this shutdown today. All it takes is a willingness to govern responsibly and to sit down and negotiate in good faith.Minnesotans value hard work, decency, and accountability. We expect our leaders to do their jobs. Keeping the government open, protecting healthcare, and respecting the people who serve our country should not be partisan issues.It's time for Republicans to put politics aside, reopen the government, and start serving the people.

Laura speaks to organizers in western North Carolina one year after Hurricane HeleneThis show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  When Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina in September 2024, it came as a shock, hitting mountains, not coasts, and flooding rivers and communities with little experience of dealing with hurricanes. Helene quickly became one of the worst storms to ever hit the U.S., and in the absence of a quick response by state or federal government, other groups flooded in. Right-wing actors took advantage of the chaos, spreading rumors about looting and trying to boost their image. But it's the mutual aid networks — some long standing, others new that responded with creative, effective strategies to distribute water, medicine and help communities rebuild. In this episode, Laura Flanders heads to some of the hardest-hit areas in western North Carolina and speaks with community activists to hear the lessons to be learned for the future. Amid Trump cuts to FEMA and the National Weather Service, the future for storm recovery in North Carolina is uncertain. But one thing's for sure — mutual aid support like Pansy Collective, Cherokee One Feather, Racial Justice Coalition (RJC), Rural Organizing and Resilience (ROAR) and Collaborativa La Milpa have the strategies and solutions we may all need for survival.“It takes the state a long time to mobilize, and that might continue to be true as FEMA gets defunded . . . It's imperative that people fight to keep their disaster response funding, but until then, we need to know how to respond ourselves.” - RT“We were talking to the people that were staying in hotels because they had just lost everything and didn't know where they were going to get their next meal or their medicine. Talk to those people . . . We had those journalists, especially BIPOC journalists in Western North Carolina, making sure those stories were told.” - Brooklyn Brown (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)Guests:• Brooklyn Brown (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians): Reporter, Cherokee One Feather•.

Guest: Dr. Andy Hazelton, University of MiamiWhen a hurricane's on the horizon, we turn to the forecast models—those swirling graphics and spaghetti plots that try to predict where the storm will go and how strong it might get. But behind every line and cone is a team of scientists working to make those models faster, smarter, and more accurate. One of those scientists is Dr. Andrew Hazelton, a hurricane modeling specialist who's worked on some of the most advanced tools used by the National Weather Service. From tracking rapid intensification to improving ensemble forecasts, Dr. Hazelton has been on the front lines of one of the most complex challenges in meteorology. Today, we talk about where hurricane modeling stands, where it's heading, and what it means for those of us who rely on it when the next storm takes aim.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hurricane Modeling03:03 Dr. Andrew Hazelton's Journey into Meteorology06:04 The Role of Hurricane Hunters08:57 Key Components of Hurricane Models12:01 Advancements in Hurricane Forecasting Models14:53 The Impact of AI on Hurricane Forecasting18:02 Real-Time Testing and Model Validation21:00 The Importance of Ocean Conditions23:54 Future of Hurricane Forecasting26:52 Challenges in Communicating Hurricane Forecasts29:35 Final Thoughts on the Current Hurricane SeasonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, from horse to firearm auctions, we navigate keeping the peace with our spouses afterwards. Plus share updates on hunting mishaps, how Anti-Hunters has wildlife conservation still winning, and record-breaking catches with unexpected outcomes. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!   From Firearms to Horse Sales: Navigating Auctions (and Marriage) with Strategy When Auctions Are a Way of Life — and Marriage Is a Partnership Recently, while driving to a horse sale that we were working at, my husband Tigger turned and asked me, “So... are you getting a bidder number today?” I smiled and responded with a firm, “Yes, and glad we've now had that discussion.” Translation? I'm buying something, and we're not arguing about it. Truth is, when you've been around livestock, auctions, and rural life as long as we have, these conversations become part of your auction day ritual. What Tigger also knows is that I don't buy just to buy. I invest — whether it's a colt, a saddle, or yes, even a rifle. If something is going to eat feed, take up stall space, or use up a gun safe room, it better bring value, joy, or a decent return one day. And let me tell you, this particular sale day delivered a little more excitement than expected... The Time I Bid Against My Husband Without Him Knowing So, there we were at the horse sale. Tigger was busy representing another ranch, completely unaware that his lovely wife(BEC) was quietly (but confidently) bidding against him from the other side of the ring. The auctioneer knew. The ringmen knew. Heck, the crowd knew — and they were loving it. Then came the big moment: Auctioneer: “SOLD!” Me, grinning: “I love you, Tigger!” That's when the place erupted in laughter. And to his credit, Tigger took it like a champ. Was he thrilled I'd just dropped cash on a horse we hadn't even discussed? Maybe not. But did he respect my judgment? Absolutely. And that's what makes our auction adventures work: mutual respect, financial boundaries, and open communication. Meet our newest addition, a 2025 AQHA registered Bay Roan filly purchased from the Froelich Legacy Quarter Horse Sale that we know call "Denali". Her name comes from not just her pedigree but also as this was the year I visited Denali National Park in Alaska!   Planning for Firearm Auctions — and Keeping the Spouse Happy While livestock sales are a regular part of our lives, firearm auctions are another exciting (and tempting) avenue we both enjoy. But before we register, load up the trailer, or open the gun safe, we always have a talk: What do our finances look like right now? Do we have room in the safe (or barn / pasture)? Is this an impulse buy or an investment piece? What are the long-term costs — time, maintenance, upkeep? Could this have resale value or serve a future purpose? These conversations aren't about permission — they're about teamwork and transparency. When you're in a relationship where big purchases are common — whether horses, hay, or handguns — keeping the lines of communication open keeps the peace (and the budget balanced). Upcoming Firearm Auctions You Don't Want to Miss For all our fellow auction-goers, collectors, and Second Amendment supporters out there — mark your calendars! Wolff Auctioneers Firearm Auctions (with Live & Online Bidding): October 25, 2025 — Featuring 150+ rifles and pistols November 1, 2025 — Another 150+ rifle showcase Visit WolffAuctioneers.com for details, catalogs, and to register for online live bidding. Whether you're looking for collectible firearms, hunting gear, or just something to pass down to the grandkids - these auctions are the real deal. Final Thoughts: Respect, Strategy, and Shared Adventures Auction days are more than just sales — they're events. They're part of the lifestyle we love. But they can also become points of tension if you're not careful. If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: "Bidding is fun. Buying is thrilling. But mutual respect is what keeps the relationship strong." Whether I'm bidding on a gelding or Tigger's eyeing a vintage Winchester, we know what matters most: being a team, backing each other up, and being just a little competitive — even if I do yell “I love you” after I outbid him. Tragic Lightning Strike Kills Two Missing Elk Hunters in Colorado Wilderness Two young elk hunters who went missing during a trip in southern Colorado were tragically killed by a lightning strike, according to the county coroner. Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, both 25, were found dead after a six-day search near the Rio de Los Pinos Trailhead in the Rio Grande National Forest. Porter's fiancé, Bridget Murphy, confirmed on Facebook that the men were hit indirectly—likely by a ground strike nearby—and died instantly. No burn marks were found on their bodies, but the lightning's massive voltage was enough to be fatal from a short distance. The two hunters had returned to the area for a quick evening hunt before storms moved in, leaving their gear locked in the car. Their last known location pinged on Sept. 11, and they were officially reported missing the next day. The search involved hundreds of volunteers and multiple agencies and came to a heartbreaking end on Thursday when their bodies were located about two miles from the trailhead. Murphy honored Porter as an experienced outdoorsman who simply "was in the wrong spot at the wrong time." Autopsies are pending, but officials confirm nature's raw power played a devastating role in this tragedy. Lightning strikes to humans are rare, but powerful. A typical lightning flash is about 300 million volts, according to the National Weather Service; in comparison, most household currents are 120 volts. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/lighting-strike-kills-elk-hunters-colorado/ Florida Bear Hunt Lottery Sees Massive Anti-Hunter Interference, But Conservation Still Wins According to Outdoor Life, a massive number of people — over 163,000 — applied for just 172 bear hunting tags in Florida's upcoming black bear hunt, but not all applicants were hunters. A significant chunk of those applications came from anti-hunting activists trying to game the system and block lawful, conservation-based bear harvests. One bear advocate posted on Facebook Monday, September 22 that the activist group, Angels in Distress, had spent $185,000 on lottery entries — about 37,000 applications, nearly a quarter of the total — with no intention of using the tags. Their goal? Keep bear tags out of the hands of hunters. Also, earlier in September the Sierra Club Florida shared a tutorial video showing those against hunting bears how to purchase a hunting license online. This video specifically showed how to check a box to request a deferral from Florida's hunter education requirements. By using the deferral program, Florida's Fish & Wildlife Conservation allows applicants without hunter's education to hunt with someone who already has their hunter ed or is exempt from these requirements. Despite this coordinated campaign, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) says these efforts haven't affected past hunts and likely won't derail this one either. If anti-hunters do manage to draw tags but don't use them, FWC will track unused permits and adjust future quotas to ensure bears are properly managed. Hunters can also take some pride in knowing that all this money — over $817,000 so far from $5 lottery entries, plus future tag fees — goes directly to wildlife conservation efforts in the state. So even sabotaged entries are indirectly helping fund habitat and wildlife management. Winners will be notified soon and have until October 6 to claim their tags. If they don't, those tags roll down to the next eligible applicant — likely a legitimate hunter. FWC originally planned to issue 187 tags, but trimmed that number slightly due to other bear mortality factors in the north. The hunt runs December 6 to 28 and is Florida's first bear hunt in a decade. After the bear hunting season closes, the officials will evaluate the hunter's success to the number of unused permits to adjust future bear hunting seasons.

Cliff Chamberlan, who's been fishing the Great Lakes since the '70s, was fly fishing and drifting a plastic bead on August 31, 2025 when he caught a 6-pound, 1-ounce pink salmon on the Salmon River — well above the long-standing state record of 4 pounds, 15 ounces set in 1985. Chamberlan followed all the rules: on September 4th it was determined by officials he caught the fish legally, had it confirmed by a fisheries biologist, and was even told congratulations — the record was his. Then, hours later, the state called him back with crushing news: New York had quietly retired pink salmon from its record books in 2024, just months earlier. The reason? Not enough recent entries — even though that had nothing to do with Chamberlan's impressive catch. Chamberlain was quoted in the New York Update, “I went from the highest high to the lowest low in about five hours.” And who could blame him? He caught a rare fish, heavier than any recorded in New York history, and still walked away empty-handed — all because the species was removed from the eligible list after decades of inaction by the state. The pink salmon, also called a “humpy,” is not stocked by New York, making catches like this incredibly rare. The species originally entered the region through Canada back in the 1950s and slowly spread to Lake Ontario. Even today, they show up occasionally — and when they do, they often go unnoticed or misidentified. So while Cliff Chamberlan may not get his name etched into the official state record books, among fellow anglers, his catch stands as a true accomplishment — proof of skill, patience, and a bit of old-school luck.

Guest: Rep. Eric Sorensen, IL-17When severe weather strikes, the National Weather Service is on the front lines saving lives, but what happens when those front lines are short-staffed as storms get stronger? As a former broadcast meteorologist turned Congressman, Representative Eric Sorensen knows firsthand how critical timely, accurate forecasts are for every community. That's why he's helping lead a bipartisan push in Congress to fully staff the National Weather Service, reclassify meteorologists as critical to public safety, and ensure that rural and underserved communities aren't left behind when minutes matter most. Today on Weather Geeks, we're talking with Rep. Sorensen about why a fully staffed and supported NWS is essential for our country's safety, and how weather policy can—and should—transcend politics in the face of a changing climate.

She is as ambitious as ever expanding her many talents to currently producing her own movie American Ecstasy, which is projected to begin filming in 2026. As a vibrant septuagenarian, Barbara has widened her aperture across a career that began in the porn theaters of the 80s where she was tasked to screen more than 100 films; to the high art of the fashion industry in the reality TV show Project Runway, which she shot for 18 seasons.  Barbara was born in Lynchburg, VA in 1950 the eldest of three children to Eloise “Vicky” Smiley Gregory, a meteorologist who worked for 30 years at the National Weather Service, and Paul Gervase Gregory, Jr., a WWII veteran and air traffic controller.

It was 1967 before her father disclosed an earlier marriage to the family and in 1987 she discovered that the author and sex researcher Shere Hite was her half-sister. Barbara's family moved across the country when she was a child from Virginia to Alaska, which meant she attended a variety of schools. For college Barbara made her way to New York to study business, literature and writing at Baruch College, and photography at the International Center for Photography and School of Visual Arts. In her late 20's she started photographing professionally and in1982, she says she found her subject on a porn set when she was given full access to be creative. Her first marriage to Herb Nitke lasted 13 years and gave her opportunities to develop her photographic skills in an unlikely world.  Among her many credits are Hustlers, 2019, Monsterland, 2020, The Equalizer, 2021, The Gilded Age, 2023, Smile, 2024 and Project Runway - 225 episodes from 2004-2021.
