Idalia on track to hit US as a hurricane, forecasters say

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Idalia was near the coast of Cuba Monday on a potential track to come ashore as a hurricane in the southern U.S., the National Hurricane Center said.At 4 a.m. CDT Monday, the storm was about 125 miles (200 kilometers) off the western tip of Cuba with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (100 kmh). The storm was stationary at the time, the hurricane center said.The center's update also included a hurricane advisory for the Cuban province of Pinar Del Rio.Forecasters said they expected Idalia to become a hurricane on Tuesday in the Gulf of Mexico and then curve northeast toward the west coast of Florida. Why do so many ‘infamous’ hurricanes have ‘I’ names? Idalia could approach Florida on Wednesday with winds of up to 100 mph (160 kph), according to the latest forecasts from the Hurricane Center. That would make it a Category 2 hurricane.Along a vast stretch of Florida's west coast, up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) of ocean water could surge on shore, raising fear...

(The HIll) - Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis (D) on Monday will have her first major courtroom faceoff after indicting former President Trump and 18 others in the Georgia election case.At a Monday morning hearing in Atlanta, prosecutors are set to battle with attorneys for former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, who wants to move his charges to federal court so he can assert immunity.Although Monday’s hearing technically regards only Meadows, the proceeding could have implications for the other co-defendants.If Meadows succeeds, Trump and the others could automatically go to federal court along with Meadows. Even if not, the same judge will soon consider similar removal requests from other defendants, and the judge on Monday could provide insights into his thinking on the issue.The requests are also quickly complicating the case as Willis aims to begin a trial for all of the defendants on Oct. 23.Prosecutors went all-in for the Meadows heari...

Simone Biles wins record 8th US Gymnastics title - a full decade after her first

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Simone Biles is not going to explain herself. Part of this is by design. Part of this is because she simply can't.When the gymnastics star is at her best, as she was on Sunday night while winning her record eighth U.S. championship, she feels like she's in a “fever dream.” It's not autopilot exactly. It's more of a vibe. A flow.It's in those moments that the doubts that still plague her almost daily even now, a decade into a run of unprecedented excellence, fade away.There is no thinking. No overanalyzing. No “ twisties.” All of it recedes into the background. Her coach Laurent Landi calls it a skill. Biles, even at 26, won't go that far. Maybe because she simply doesn't want to.She spent a long time, far too long, getting caught up in her head. She's intent on not doing it this around.So yeah, she was smiling midway through a floor routine that made almost every other competitor on the floor stop what they were doing to watch and drew a standing ovation...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Family secrets

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:48 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about family and how to deal with differing opinions in a family. Here's the email from Jason: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I hope you understand why I've changed the names of everyone in my story. Here is my dilemma: My daughter, Charlotte is in her senior year in college. Her mother is very religious, though I am less so. In her last visit home (college is across the state), Charlotte took me aside and confided in me that she was gay. She’d had boyfriends in high school and in college, so this came as a surprise to me – though I had no problem with it. Her mother, however, would not react as tolerantly. Charlotte knows this – so while she did want to tell me about her sexuality, she did not want to tell her mother – and did not want me to tell her either. I agree that she has to come out in her own way, but I’m not a big fan of keeping things from my wif...
