Demetrius Ivory, Chief Meteorologist at WGN-TV, joins Lisa Dent to talk about the weather. They address the storm outbreak headed towards states like Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota, and the gradual shifts in Tornado Alley. In addition to the weather, Demetrius talks about the meteor that exploded off of the coast of Massachusetts Saturday afternoon.

Is it getting windier? Long-time listener Barry Zalph thinks it is, at least in Louisville. And he's not the only one. Redditors and local reporters have noticed a recent uptick in the region's windstorms, too. But does that point to any larger trends in windiness? And if so, what could be causing it? We talked to meteorologist and extreme weather specialist Scott Gunter to find out. Plus, we dig into whether Tornado Alley is shifting into Kentucky as the climate warms. This episode is part of Nature Quest, our monthly listener-driven segment about climate and the environment.

Nature doesn't care about you. It never did.This week Matty & Andrew are boarding up the windows and sitting with the most primal fear of all — the sky itself turning against you. We get into the long, ugly history of storms being used to blame queer people, the real science behind why severe weather feels genuinely supernatural, and why Tornado Alley is no longer where anyone thinks it is.Also: twenty years after Katrina, New Orleans is still haunted — and not in the way you'd expect.And then we watched some movies.

New Look to Forecast Cone Today on the Disaster Podcast, co-host Sam Bradley and I discuss her recent move from Colorado to Missouri. She almost immediately ran into severe weather in the new house and talks about the things she did to improve her preparedness in the face of a change of location. Sam’s experience during the move had a profound impact on her and led her to locate the nearest shelter to their home for storm safety. We also looked at the upcoming hurricane season and discussed a quick overview of the 2026 hurricane forecast. We’ll have a more in-depth discussion with our meteorologists in a coming episode. One interesting topic that came up was the updated messaging from the National Hurricane Center and their cone of forecast track for hurricanes. They implemented new messaging upgrades to the graphic. What to know about the new cone graphic: Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone; Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); and Full and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov. NHC will also be introducing a new experimental version of the NHC's Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast Cone. Since its debut in 2002, the cone has shown where the tropical cyclone's forecast center is likely to go, based on past forecast calculations.

Podcast Discussion Summary Hurricane Season Preparation Discussion Sam shared her recent experience moving from suburban Colorado to rural Missouri, including challenges with severe weather, particularly tornado warnings during her drive. The group discussed upcoming hurricane season predictions, noting that while the storm count is projected to be near to below average, the risk remains significant due to potential rapid intensification and elevated early season threats. Jamie emphasized the importance of being prepared for hurricane season by having emergency supplies ready and staying informed through local emergency management centers and weather forecasts. Hurricane Forecast Graphics Updates Jamie and Sam discussed updates to hurricane forecast cone graphics from the National Hurricane Center, which will now include tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings, as well as single shading for the entire 5-day cone outlook. Jamie explained that these changes aim to make the information more understandable and help people better assess their risk and evacuation needs. They also discussed the importance of staying informed through apps and alerts, emphasizing the need for immediate action during severe weather events. Weather Updates and Emergency Preparedness Jamie and Sam discussed the impact of constant weather updates and news notifications on public awareness and decision-making. They also talked about military drills, with Sam sharing his experience from a 2015-2016 Urban Shield exercise in Alameda County that involved emergency services training. Sam described how the realistic nature of the exercise surprised some hospital interns who initially viewed it negatively but gained valuable insights during the debriefing. Emergency Response Training Collaboration Sam and Jamie discussed emergency response training, particularly focusing on the evolution of collaboration between police, fire, and EMS teams in active shooter situations. They highlighted the development of training programs like Rescue Task Force and Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVIRT), which aim to improve coordination and patient care in high-risk scenarios. Jamie mentioned the importance of unified communication systems and the challenges of maintaining effective communication in underground settings. The conversation concluded with plans to discuss recent severe weather trends and hurricane forecasts in a future episode with Dan.

Hail Damage This episode of the Disaster Podcast featured a discussion about resilience and preparedness with guest Jake Sorber from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS). Jake explained IBHS’s research on severe weather hazards, particularly focusing on hail damage and wind-driven hail, which can cause significant additional damage to homes. He described IBHS’s unique ability to manufacture scientific ice spheres to accurately test building materials’ resistance to hail impacts. Becky DePodwin, our disaster emergency management expert joined the discussion along with our episode host, Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Disaster Podcast: Resilience and Preparedness Jamie Davis welcomed listeners to the Disaster Podcast and introduced the topic of resilience and preparedness. He noted that Sam was unavailable due to her recent move, but Becky was present as a guest. Jamie then introduced Jake Sorber, a research project scientist at the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, who discussed his background in atmospheric science and his current work studying the effects of hail and wind on residential homes and commercial structures. IBHS Structure Testing and Mitigation Jake explained how IBHS, an insurance industry organization, was founded to conduct full-scale testing of structures to better understand vulnerabilities to severe weather events like hurricanes, hail, tornadoes, and wildfires. He described a specific hailstorm in Rock Hill, South Carolina in April 2024 that demonstrated how wind-driven hail can cause damage beyond rooftops, including siding and windows, which can lead to water intrusion and significantly increase losses by 2-4 times. Jake emphasized the importance of identifying “damage amplifiers” – structural elements that fail and cause disproportionate damage, which helps in developing mitigation strategies. Hail Risk and Insurance Insights Jake explained that there is limited historical data on wind-driven hail frequency, and IBHS is developing an instrument to measure impact angles and forces during their annual hail field campaign. He noted that while storm severity has shifted, socioeconomic factors like urban sprawl and increased building costs have had a greater impact on insured losses than weather changes. Jake mentioned that severe convective storms now cause annual losses of $40-60 billion, up from $15 billion historically, primarily due to increased population in hazard areas rather than increased weather risk. Hail-Resistant Building Materials Assessment Jake explained that hail-resistant building materials do exist and are assessed based on IBHS’s testing protocol, which involves simulating hailstorms in a lab. He mentioned that synthetic composite roofs like F-Wave and metal roofs perform well against hail damage, though metal roofs may have cosmetic issues. Jake noted that while some materials like synthetic composites show no damage after multiple hail exposures, the distinction between cosmetic and functional damage is important to consider. Residential Building Weather Resilience Jake from IBHS discussed residential building resilience against severe weather hazards. He explained that while completely hazard-proof homes don’t exist, building materials and construction methods can significantly reduce risk, particularly in high-risk areas like Tornado Alley. Jake described IBHS’s work on developing resilience scores for structures and their unique ability to manufacture hailstones for testing building materials. He also covered wildfire preparedness, emphasizing the importance of defensible space and structure separation. The discussion concluded with information about IBHS resources available at ibhs.org. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

Tornado Alley, traditionally located in the central U.S., is shifting eastward. States like Kansas and Oklahoma used to be the main hotspots, but now areas like Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee are seeing more tornadoes. The Southeast is getting more severe storms while the central plains are seeing a bit less. And, tornadoes this year are more likely to come in bunches - watch out! Learn more about your ad choices.

In October, stakeholders representing an unusual combination of sectors — public, private, academic, non-profit and journalism — gathered with insurance industry experts at the 10X Convergence in Jacksonville, Florida, to explore solutions to unsustainable insurance and disaster recovery costs throughout the Interstate 10 region.Insurers continue to cancel homeowners policies across California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida as exposure to accelerating billion-dollar disasters undermines carriers' ability to pay out claims while remaining solvent. The industry crisis has begun to spread northward, where a widening Tornado Alley sees growing impacts from property-damaging storms.  This is a complex, all-hands-on-deck issue. Insurance practices and building standards have not adapted to the realities of climate change, and have neglected potential to be of powerful mutual support to one another. On the whole, 10X Convergence participants were clear that viable solutions will require a combination of applied climate and economic research with proactive governance and communications strategies, and that this must be matched by industry willingness to innovate its systems of underwriting and community development.  In this podcast, Ten Across journalists Maya Chari and Taylor Griffith take you through the problems and potential solutions discussed by the diverse group of experts at the 10X Convergence.  Relevant Articles and Resources  VIDEO: 10X Convergence Event Wrap Up  “It's harder to get home insurance.

Here in Oklahoma we have more than our fair share of storms - especially in the springtime. More than our fair share of tornadoes. I know. I know. We live right in the smack dab middle of Tornado Alley so what should we expect? This week's song is called Like Lightning and Thunder and the story behind it is probably not one you might expect. I was on a 40 day fast in May and June of 2010 and I was experiencing many major storms of life. Let's just say that I was feeling somewhat overwhelmed by life. The storms seemed to be raging out of control and I did not know what to do. I then began to meditate on Psalm 40 along with Isaiah 40 as a means of helping me stay focused on the fast and my need for the Lord to intervene and restore me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. On may 10, 2010 - day 8 of the fast - I happened to be meditating on Psalm 40 verse 5a which says: Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us [plans for us]. Psalm 40:5a NASB As I began to meditate on this passage of Scripture - began to just mull it over in my mind - I kept getting stuck on the phrase ‘many are the wonders which you have done' and for some reason, I was reminded of something I did quite a few times when my children were still at home. During some of those springtime tornado storms I mentioned earlier, I would often load my children into our 15 passenger van and we would go storm chasing. Don't bother calling child protective services. They are all grown and out of the house now and actively seeking therapy for these episodes. Seriously, I wanted the children to have a healthy fear of the power of those storms, but I also wanted them to develop a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty and creativity and power of God's love being demonstrated right before our eyes. With every bolt of lightning, we oohed and aahed about how massive or how beautiful the display was…at how creative God was in the way no two lightning bolts were ever the same…at how some would flare out into dozens of streams streaking across the sky while still others seemed to crash directly into the earth with one incredibly intense impact. We marveled at the way in which some thunder seemed to all along as if it were bouncing off of the clouds seeming to echo for several seconds while still other claps of thunder would sound as if a bomb had just exploded very near the van. I taught them how to estimate how near the lightning strike actually was by teaching them that if you count five seconds between a lightning strike and the thunder that follows it, that means lightning is just one mile away. I thoroughly enjoyed these storm chases and enjoyed watching my children overcome their fears and begin to see with eyes of wonder - even in a storm. And then it dawned on me. I needed to learn to see the spiritual and mental and emotional storms of life in much the same way as I saw a physical storm. Rather than being overwhelmed and overcome by the storms of life, I could step back while in the midst of these storms and see them from God's point of view. The song Like Lightning and Thunder was born that day and I recorded it just as you will hear it. I added the storm sounds later from a recording of a storm I sat through while on the front porch of our house. This song gives me a much greater appreciation of the magnitude of God's power and creativity…and it does something very healing in my soul. SONG [Psa 135:6-7 NIV] 6 The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. 7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. I love that passage from the Psalms. It brings a strange kind of calm to my soul. I know I share quite a bit about one of the storms that I am now encountering in my life. Parkinson's. I am honestly feeling my body and my mind losing ground at times, but I feel somehow sustained by the fierceness and the fury of this storm because it causes me to lift my wings of faith and rather than being blown about by these relentless and strong winds, I spread my wings of faith and use those very same winds to help me rise above the pain and suffering and see the beauty of the storm.  I see the beauty in the way my children help me find the humor and joy in this storm. I see beauty in the way my grandchildren take it in stride and argue about which one gets to hold my party hand - the one that tremors almost constantly. I see beauty in the way my wife cares for me even when I feel like I am a burden to her. I see beauty in the way people treat me with kindness and patience when they notice me tremoring or having a difficult time getting my words out. I see beauty knowing my God is walking through this storm with me. Heck, I find beauty in the fact that I still have the capacity to be creative and write and that my writing still sounds coherent and seems helpful to people.  I encourage you to take the time to watch a storm  as it passes over you and around you - from the safety of your home, of course - and look for God's handiwork. I honestly find storms to be amazing and beautiful. Why not live our lives with that sense of wonder? Why not look for something to be grateful for when we go through such storms? I guarantee you and are never alone - even in the most  devastating storms of life - and that does my soul good. Before I say goodbye for this week, I would humbly ask you to consider getting a copy of my brand new book titled Parkinson's & Recreation 2 - No Walk in the Parkinson's. I bare my soul in this book as to how I am dealing with Parkinson's and I believe it will encourage you whether you have Parkinson's or not. I really do. It's available in paperback, e-book, and audiobook. And if you wouldn't mind doing this for me: once you have read the book, would you consider going back to the place you purchased it online and leaving me a five star review? I have to share a couple of quick reviews from those it has already received reviews from on Amazon.com. GO writes: Inspirational and encouraging book. This is a wonderful uplifting book. I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. CR writes: 5.0 out of 5 stars It is life stories and Jernigan history mixed with how they deal with Parkinsons. I have read both of these and love his sense of humor and steadfast faith in God's love no matter what happens. The second book recalls events from his life in the public eye, again remembering humorous episodes.” Please consider reading the book,Parkinson's & Recreation 2 - No Walk in the Parkinson's, and please consider telling others about it, if you don't mind. That would help me out tremendously. Thank you for tuning in to The Dennis Jernigan Podcast! For more about my journey, music, and updates, visit dennisjernigan.com.

Remember this from today's episode: we can either be overwhelmed by the storms of life or we can use them to tap into the rich beauty and amazing power of God's love in our lives - even with a storm like  Parkinson's thrown into the mix. My plan? To minister to the needs of others in spite of Parkinson's by continuing to trust in the Lord. Now, go and be who your heavenly Father says you are.

Here is a table of contents summarizing the weather podcast, focusing on extreme weather events and conditions globally, with a special emphasis on heatwaves and high dew points, and ending with the songs that played in the background. Chapter 1: Introduction and Extreme Heat in the Persian Gulf (00:08) The podcast begins by highlighting extreme weather conditions, particularly the phenomenal dew points and wet bulb temperatures in the Persian Gulf, where dew points reach the upper 80s and wet bulb temperatures are expected to hit 90 degrees, potentially reaching the upper limits of human tolerance. Temperatures in Iran's Great Salt Desert are forecasted to soar, with surface temperatures possibly exceeding the official record due to a lack of weather stations. Shuster, Iran, is mentioned as a city where temperatures frequently reach the 130s, although official records may not reflect this due to the distance of the nearest weather station. Chapter 2: Heat Dome in the US and High Dew Points (03:19) The discussion shifts to a strengthening heat dome in the US Midwest and East Coast, with forecasts indicating it will intensify over the next two weeks. High dew points are noted not only in the Persian Gulf but also in the United States, especially around the Gulf of Mexico and the Midwest corn belt, creating swamp-like conditions. The air originates from the Gulf of Mexico, traveling over a thousand miles, and the corn belt enhances the humidity levels. Chapter 3: Extreme Heat in Dubai and the Caspian Sea (04:28) The podcast revisits the United Arab Emirates, focusing on Dubai, where temperatures remain consistently in the mid-90s, driven by high dew points leading to heat indices approaching 130. The conversation then turns to the Caspian Sea in Russia, where unusually high ocean water temperatures, similar to those in the Gulf of Mexico, lead to very humid conditions. The possibility of weather phenomena similar to Tornado Alley in the US occurring near the Caspian Sea is speculated due to the presence of both humid and dry air masses. Chapter 4: Global Weather Observations and the Lack of Hurricanes in July (08:43) The podcast notes intense warmth in the Arctic regions of northern Canada and Alaska, with temperatures expected to reach the 80s. Intense heat is also observed on the West Coast of the US, particularly on the eastern side of the Cascades. The lack of hurricanes in July, despite warm ocean temperatures, is attributed to the plume of Sahara dust that interferes with hurricane development. Chapter 5: Heat Advisories and Closing Remarks (10:54) Heat advisories are in effect across the northern states of the Midwest, with a large area of excessive heat warnings covering much of the Midwest and South Central states. The heat dome is expected to center over the mid-Atlantic area later in the week, bringing super hot weather. The podcast concludes with encouragement to stay healthy and hydrated.Chapter 6: Songs Played During the Podcast (12:30) The podcast concludes by identifying the songs played in the background, including "Journey through the Desert" by Trace Way, and several Blue Dot Sessions tracks such as "Skyway", "Borrow", "Molly Molly" and "Glass Beads", ending with a track listed as "L I T E 20, saturation 25".Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Hello beautiful people, we are back :) This week we are discussing Tornado Alley, which is a nickname for a broad region in the central United States where tornadoes are most frequent, typically encompassing parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Yeee Haw

People who live in Tornado Alley know the importance of a close connection with the Lord Our God - we have to know - we don't know when that next deadly tornado is going to drop down out of the sky bringing death and destruction.  In the same way, people who live in the End Times - all of us - had better learn how to pray as well!

Where back after a little issue with a tornado that took Nate by storm. We get a recap of the situation going on in Missouri a week later after Clayton got hit with some severe weather. Nate wanted to get into the situation that has taken his interest with the torture crypto bros. Shocking amount of information comes Huw's way from Nate and this scenario. We fall down the rabbit hole of higher education and the slow destruction of certain institutions. Before heading out we do find some SpaceX issues as well as the quick recap of the Diddy trial. Hopefully everyone is staying safe out there and we'll catch you next week... minus any natural disaster that could delay things.

We know everyone was concerned, but yes, we did in fact live through the 2025 Baltimore Tornado (though sadly many of the trees in our favorite little park did not).

In this episode of Film Lag, Nick takes Melissa on a whirlwind journey through the plot of Twisters (2024), the standalone sequel to the 1996 classic Twister. Melissa doesn't have time to watch the flick, but wants to be equipped for water cooler conversations, so she's tapped Nick to give his ‘hot take' and summary of the story of Kate Carter, a retired storm chaser drawn back into the chaos of Tornado Alley. Together, they'll try to download key moments of the movie into her brain and discuss:⏺️ Kate's Tragic Past: The devastating EF5 tornado that claimed the lives of Kate's friends and boyfriend, shaping her decision to leave storm chasing behind.⏺️ The Tornado Wrangler: The rivalry and eventual collaboration between Kate and Tyler Owens, a reckless social media storm chaser, as they face unprecedented tornado outbreaks.⏺️ Cutting-Edge Technology: The use of phased-array radar and innovative methods - such as middle-school dioramas - to study and combat tornadoes.Tune as they chat about whether or not this film lives up to the original, if a soundtrack can tank a movie, and whether or not they can ride their fears!

  Hot Springs Village was given days' advance notice that we'd be getting 6-10 plus inches of rain beginning mid-afternoon on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. As forecasted, around 4 pm, it hit: thunder, heavy rain, and some lightning. By nightfall, a supercell system was extending from Texas to Pennsylvania. I was watching Ryan Hall Ya'll live stream weather updates. I'm preempting the episode I had scheduled for today because this weather event is now labeled "once-in-a-generation." We've not seen anything quite like this since 2011. I'll keep you updated on how things develop today and tonight. We may not be in the clear until sometime Sunday. Stay tuned. Be safe.

Each year, the United States has about 1,200 tornadoes. Many of them happen in tornado alley, a very broad swath of the U.S. that shifts seasonally. This area gets at least ten times more tornadoes than the rest of the world. Science writer Sushmita Pathak says that huge difference can be chalked up to one word: geography. But there's a slice of South America with similar geographical features that gets comparatively fewer tornadoes, so what gives? Sushmita wades into the research weeds with guest host Berly McCoy, one of Short Wave's producers.

  Happy April Fool's Day! But rather than play a trick on you, I thought I'd show off how wonderful Spring is here inside Hot Springs Village. Thanks to Grok.com, an artificial intelligence search engine, we receive the following answer to the question, "What is a typical spring like in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas?" Spring in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, is generally a pleasant and mild season, characterized by warming temperatures, blooming flora, and a transition from the cooler winter months. Based on the climate of the region, here's what you can expect: From March to May, temperatures gradually rise. In March, average highs range from the mid-50s to low 60s°F (13-17°C), with lows in the 30s to 40s°F (2-7°C). By April, highs climb into the upper 60s to low 70s°F (19-23°C), and May sees highs in the upper 70s to low 80s°F (25-28°C), with lows warming into the 50s and 60s°F (10-18°C). Rainfall is fairly common, as spring is one of the wetter seasons in Arkansas, with April and May often seeing 4-6 inches of rain spread across several days. Thunderstorms can occur, occasionally bringing heavy downpours or even a rare tornado, though severe weather is less frequent than in flatter parts of the state. The natural surroundings of Hot Springs Village—nestled in the Ouachita Mountains and surrounded by forests, lakes, and rolling hills—come alive in spring. March might still feel a bit dormant, but by April, wildflowers like dogwoods, redbuds, and azaleas start to bloom, painting the landscape with color. The area's 11 lakes and numerous hiking trails become more inviting as the weather warms, and wildlife, including deer, birds, and squirrels, becomes more active. Humidity begins to creep up in May, hinting at the muggy summer ahead, but it's usually not oppressive yet. For residents and visitors, spring is a popular time for outdoor activities like golfing (the village boasts multiple courses), fishing, and boating. The mild weather also makes it ideal for exploring nearby Hot Springs National Park, just a short drive away, where the thermal springs and historic bathhouses are a year-round draw. Locals might describe it as a season of renewal—green returning to the trees, patios opening up, and a laid-back vibe as the community shakes off winter. Next, I asked Grok.com: "Does Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, experience many tornadoes?" Answer: Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, does not experience a high frequency of tornadoes compared to more tornado-prone areas like the central plains of the U.S., but it is not entirely immune to them either. Located in the Ouachita Mountains in west-central Arkansas, the village benefits from some natural protection due to its hilly terrain, which can disrupt the formation or intensity of tornadoes compared to flatter regions. However, Arkansas as a whole lies on the eastern edge of "Tornado Alley," and tornadoes can and do occur in the state, including in the vicinity of Hot Springs Village. Historically, Garland and Saline Counties, which encompass Hot Springs Village, see occasional tornado activity, particularly during the spring months (March through May) when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico clashes with cooler air masses. Most tornadoes in this region are weaker—typically EF0 or EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale—with winds under 110 mph, causing minor damage like downed trees or power lines. Stronger tornadoes (EF2 or higher) are less common but not unheard of. For example, the broader Hot Springs area has experienced notable tornadoes in the past, such as an EF2 that hit parts of Garland County in 1999, though it didn't directly strike the village. Data from the National Weather Service suggests Arkansas averages about 30-40 tornadoes statewide per year, with the majority occurring in spring and some in late fall. Hot Springs Village itself, being a large, spread-out community of about 26,000 acres, might only see a direct hit once every few decades,

It only took 28 years but we have FINALLY got a sequel to the beloved mid '90's disaster blockbuster Twister....only is it really?  There are no returning characters, only a returning device named Dorothy....and of course several big tornadoes. ;) So yes once again we are following storm-chasers around Tornado Alley not only attempting to figure out new ways to monitor these increasingly destructive storms but also maybe to stop them.  The cast is lead by Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing, Normal People) who plays Kate, a "retired" young storm-chaser from Oklahoma who is now getting back into the game after several years of working a desk job in the aftermath of a tragic incident which occurred when she was chasing tornadoes as a grad student.  Helping to bring her back is old classmate Javi played by Anthony Ramos (In the Heights) who has landed some newfangled technology which might help them in their ongoing mission to "tame" tornadoes.  And along the way, Kate also strikes up a possible romance with the charismatic Tyler (Glen Powell), a YouTube star who also fancies himself as the ultimate "Tornado Wrangler."  And needless to say, they all deal with a LOT of bad weather.  Oscar-nominee Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) directs our return to The Suck Zone.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Having President Trump's back is absolutely paramount. The Vance appointment raises huge questions. 98% negative response. How does he unify? He and Rob Portman are up to their neck in Ukrainian money. All the $$$ goes thru Vance's office. Where is it? This is how the Russia dossier was funded. Portman is in Ukraine more than the USA. What has Vance done as Senator? Absolutely nothing. Vance loves vaccines. Why not provide the banking documents. He needs to find the goods. Deals have been made. How is Vance good for America? Show us his record. The Ukrainian diaspora lives in Ohio and they love JD Vance. Big Mike tought him the law. His wife is already throwing up gates. A Senate seat is now open. How about Sen. Maras? Vance's befriending Don Jr. gives the media a field day. When you are in the spotlight, you better be ready for heat. There is NO WAY Trump thought this was a good idea. He did not look happy. If states have sovereignty, do we need a President? Vance speaks no foreign language and knows zip about international relations. Pour a tall cool glass of vinegar, trust your President and pray for our country.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about the wild and crazy storms they have been experiencing recently in central North Texas. They live right in the middle of Tornado Alley, and large storms are nothing that unusual at this time of year. Then, they get right into some Expanded Perspectives News, starting with a Worcester County, Massachusetts, couple who was driving on Route 20 late one night when they encountered a pair of tall, upright deer-headed animals with black hair and wolf-like legs. Next, a Michigan man recalls his grandpa's dogman encounter stories while he was working for the Forest Service in Manistee National Forest in 1949 when he was only 28 years old. Three massive dogs covered in long black hair were up against his neighbor's house, scratching at the siding and making visible claw marks with each swipe. After the break, Kyle presents some remarkable instances of reincarnation recounted by small children. Often, these children's statements vividly align with the lives and deaths of individuals who have passed away. Remarkably, some children even bear birthmarks or birth defects that mirror wounds or marks of the deceased, a fact corroborated by postmortem reports. Although older children may maintain these memories, they tend to diminish around the age of seven. These intriguing cases span the globe, with examples found in Europe and North America. Typically, children begin discussing their past lives around the age of 35 months, coinciding with their third birthday. As their verbal abilities develop, they may recount events from their previous existence or describe their former family members. Surprisingly, seventy-five percent of these children mention the circumstances of their previous death, with a significant majority—70%—involving unnatural means such as murder, suicide, or accidents in combat. From these findings, it's apparent that past life memories often stem from traumatic experiences. Children tend to divulge these details when they feel secure and at ease. As one expert notes, "The child has to be in the right frame of mind to talk about these things; it's usually during relaxed times, sometimes after a bath or during a car ride. Although past life memories are frequently associated with trauma, they typically fade by the time the child reaches six or seven years old.
