Tracking Tropical Depression #2

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:29:43 GMT

On the first day of Hurricane Season Tropical Depression #2 developed over the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico and it is looking weak, exposed to the elements on the left side. This system managed to develop because it was at the right place and time. It was located to the North of some strong upper-level winds and over warm waters in the 80’s that helped it form into the seasons second tropical system. However, South Florida will have “No direct” impacts from Tropical Depression #2, but rather indirect impacts as deep available moisture will be present. This will help fuel showers and storms each afternoon/evening through the weekend. The weekend won’t be a washout, so look for morning sun and afternoon scattered to numerous showers and storms developing inland, then pushing toward the coast. Have a wonderful weekend South Florida and make it a safe one! Vivian GonzalezMeteorologist, AMS Certified WSVN Channel 7

Poland’s Duda backtracks on controversial Russian influence law after backlash

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:29:43 GMT

BRUSSELS — Polish President Andrzej Duda announced Friday he had amended a controversial law aimed at investigating Russian influence in Polish politics, days after the EU and the U.S. expressed concerns that the bill could be used to intimidate political rivals ahead of an upcoming election.Duda said he had removed the use of sanctions for people found guilty of acting under the influence of the Kremlin — including banning them from public office — handed down by an ad hoc commission.The commission would still, however, prepare a negative opinion regarding a person’s ability to hold a public position.“I propose that instead they [the sanctions] should be replaced by a statement by the commission that a person who has been found to have acted under Russian influence does not provide a guarantee that they will properly carry out their activities in the public interest,” the Polish president said in a statement. The initial bill, including the ban on running for publ...

Trump-DeSantis feud gets ugly fast

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:29:43 GMT

LACONIA, N.H. — Shortly after Ron DeSantis snapped at a reporter who questioned his limited voter engagement during a swing through New Hampshire on Thursday, his chief primary rival tried to one up him.Donald Trump made a crack about his opponents’ fear of the media and proceeded to field 20 minutes of questions from reporters in Iowa, drawing an immediate contrast to his protege turned foe. Elsewhere, a super PAC backing DeSantis drove a bus that mockingly followed Trump around the state. And DeSantis all but accused Trump of failing to push through a sufficiently sweeping conservative agenda during his four years in office, while ripping the former president for his “juvenile” use of derisive nicknames.The day on the trail illustrated just how bitter the race has become in its embryonic stages. While the campaign is still young – Republicans won’t begin voting for more than six months — Trump and DeSantis are already engaged in the kind of mano-a-mano fight typically seen much cl...

Today is National Donut Day

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:29:43 GMT

(CNN) — The first Friday in June — June 2 this year — is National Donut Day.Started by the Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938, the day honors the group’s “donut lassies,” who served treats and provided assistance to soldiers on the front lines during World War I. (And this isn’t to be confused with National Doughnut Day, which is in November and honors the actual food; though both days are celebrated by eating doughnuts.)Doughnuts have been around since long before the First World War, and we have the Dutch to thank for them. The Dutch would make “olykoek,” which translates to oily cake. The first Dutch doughnuts didn’t have a hole, but they were fried in hot oil and the dough was sweet.It wasn’t until 1847 that the holed-out doughnut we know and love today appeared. Hanson Gregory, 16 at the time, claimed credit. Sick of doughnuts with a raw center, he used a pepper pot to punch out holes to help his doughnuts cook more evenly.By 1920, Adolph Levitt, a Russi...
