September Storms

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:23 GMT

The stormy pattern continues for south Florida. The current culprit is a front that has stalled nearby. Since the front will linger, so will periods of rain and the threat for more street flooding. On Wednesday, we’ll need to brace for “anytime showers” while storms will still favor the afternoon and evening hours. As we’ve seen lately, developing storms will sometimes have erratic motion and will tend to move slowly. The ground is saturated from recent rains so any flooding could get amplified quickly. If there’s some bright news it includes the passage of the “weak and feeble front” towards the end of the week. Upper winds are forecast to help sweep the front southward, ushering-in slightly drier air. The timing? By Friday, we should see deep moisture suppressed south. That will limit the rain and allow for most places to get some needed dry time. It’s worth noting that the front will remain close enough to the Florida Key...

What we know about the Marine Corps F-35 crash, backyard ejection and what went wrong

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:23 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The crash of an F-35B Joint Strike Fighter aircraft in South Carolina over the weekend has raised numerous questions about what prompted the pilot to eject and how the $100 million warplane was able to keep flying pilotless for 60 miles (100 kilometers) before crashing.Here’s what is known about the modern warplane and its latest incident:‘FORCED TO EJECT’A U.S. Marine Corps pilot was flying a single-seat F-35B fighter jet on Sunday when the pilot experienced a malfunction and was “forced to eject,” a Marine Corps official who was not authorized to speak publicly said on condition of anonymity. The aircraft was only at an altitude of about 1,000 feet (300 meters) and only about a mile (less than 2 kilometers) north of Charleston International Airport, in a populated area that led the pilot to parachute into a residential backyard.The Marine Corps’ variant of the F-35 is different from the Air Force and Navy versions in that it can take off and land ...

Boston City Council peppers BHA about public housing safety after shooting, OD death

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:23 GMT

A highly-publicized overdose death that occurred in a public housing unit with four children present didn’t really cause much of a stir at the Boston Housing Authority, where management says unresponsive person reports are “pretty common.”The incident, which occurred in the Mary Ellen McCormack facility, led to an initial response from the city’s police, fire and EMS, but not from the BHA’s own police force or security personnel.The BHA administrator wasn’t notified, beyond being told that it was a “lower priority call,” for what turned out to be a squalid scene that resulted in the death of a transgender person and four children being taken into custody by the state Department of Children and Families.According to City Council President Ed Flynn, it was he and fellow Councilor Michael Flaherty who alerted the administrator to what was happening on scene, in an apartment managed by the Boston Housing Authority.“I would want to know about that situation though if I were in that leade...

Really high school: proposal would allow students to use medical pot at school

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:23 GMT

Bay State high schools may soon have stoned students (lawfully) roaming the halls.Under a proposal heard by the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy on Tuesday, Massachusetts students with medical marijuana prescriptions would be allowed to use pot on school grounds.“This issue is incredibly important,” state Sen. Susan Moran told her colleagues before speaking in support of S.59, or An Act to allow students access to prescription cannabis.“Since medical marijuana use was legalized in 2012, thousands of patients across the commonwealth have been able to effectively utilize treatment under proper medical supervision. This includes school-age children, many of whom medical marijuana treatment has enabled to live more easily in their conditions,” she said.Under current state law, marijuana use and possession is generally prohibited on school property. That means a student who uses marijuana to treat a condition could go through the full school day without their prescribed m...

Patriots fan who witnessed fatal fight calls on NFL to tackle brawling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:23 GMT

An eyewitness to Sunday night’s fight at Gillette Stadium that ended in a fan’s death is calling on the league to control the brawling that’s being glorified on social media.“It’s sad and senseless,” said Joe Kilmartin of Nashua, N.H., who watched as a fellow Granite State man died near him in the upper tier at the Foxboro stadium after grappling with a Dolphins fan.That death is under investigation by the Norfolk DA’s office, as the Herald has reported. Authorities have not said if any charges will be filed in the death of Dale Mooney, 53, of Newmarket, N.H.Kilmartin, 29, said he did not know Mooney but recorded the clash on his cellphone. He added that he had shared that clip with police.He also texted a copy of that video to the Herald, and it shows a man, believed to be Mooney, high up in Section 310 fighting with a fan in a Miami Dolphins team shirt. Mooney, it appears, was wearing a Number 10 Patriots jersey, the same number worn by qu...

AG makes push for powers to crack down on wage theft

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:23 GMT

With up to $1 billion in wages taken from Bay State employees every year, lawmakers are attempting — again — to change the law to help their constituents get the money they’ve worked so hard to earn from unscrupulous employers.A pair of bills filed by Rep. Daniel Donahue and Sen. Sal DiDomenico heard by the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development on Tuesday would empower the Attorney General to take action on behalf of employees seeking lost wages and allow her office to investigate complaints of wage theft and take civil action against employers who steal from their staff.According to AG Andrea Campbell, it’s a problem her office hears about frequently.“Our Fair Labor team continues to receive a high volume of reports of violations. In Fiscal Year 2023, we received 13,000 calls and fielded over 6,600 complaints,” she told the committee.Under consideration are H1868 and S1158, or An Act to prevent wage theft, promote employer accountability, and enhance public enforcement...
